+<h1>BENEATH A STEEL SKY WALKTHROUGH</h1>
+<address>by M. Shaw</address>
+<hr>
+<pre>Get RUNG on left side of walkway.
+Use RUNG on DOOR on right side of walkway.
+ (At this point, you will automatically go through the door. The SECURITY
+   OFFICER will follow you, then leave.)
+Go WEST, back to the FACTORY.
+Go down the stairs, then go EAST.
+Examine the robot SHELL in the junkpile south of the ELEVATOR.
+Use the CIRCUIT BOARD in the SHELL.
+Talk to JOEY.
+Stand on ELEVATOR in middle of room.
+When HOBBINS (bald guy in overalls) comes out to shut off the alarm,
+  go EAST as soon as you can.
+Quickly, before HOBBINS returns, do the following:
+  Open the CABINET on the north wall, near the floor.
+  Take the WRENCH. Take the SANDWICH if you want and if you have time,
+    but it isn't used anywhere that I found.
+Talk to HOBBINS. Be sure to ask him about the ELEVATOR/TRANSPORTER; I
+  think the conversation starts with asking him how to get off this
+  level or how to leave the city.
+Go WEST.
+Tell JOEY to fix the TRANSPORTER. (If you don't know what's wrong with
+  it, talk to HOBBINS some more until he mentions a charge device being
+  bad or something along those lines.)
+When TRANSPORT ROBOT puts a barrel on the ELEVATOR, climb down the HOLE.
+Wait for JOEY to fly in.
+Tell JOEY to open the DOOR.
+  (REICH will march in and threaten you. He will be mysteriously
+    killed.)
+Search REICH'S CORPSE.
+Talk to JOEY to wake him up.
+Go EAST.
+  (Now you will be outside the factory, on the top level of the city.)
+As you run into new people on this level, talk to them.
+Find a LINC TERMINAL (there's one outside the ELEVATOR) and see what you
+  can find about REICH. Don't worry about the SECURITY SERVICES part--
+  you can't get to this without a RETINA SCAN JAMMER, found later.
+Go into the FACTORY at the EAST end of the level.
+Talk to ANITA (if you haven't already) until LAMB orders her to leave.
+Go EAST.
+Talk to POTTS if you want to, I don't think it's necessary.
+Put the WRENCH into the open space in the MACHINE where gears are visible.
+Get the WRENCH again.
+Go SOUTHWEST (back the way you came).
+Use WRENCH on WELDER.
+Ask JOEY how he would like a new shell.
+  (You will put the welder shell on him.)
+Go EAST.
+Look through the WINDOW of the storeroom at the bottom of the screen.
+Tell JOEY to investigate the STORES.
+When he comes back, ask him to report.
+Tell JOEY to disable the FUSE BOX.
+When you hear a BZZT, enter the STORES.
+Move the GANGWALK and get the small piece of PUTTY underneath.
+Go EAST.
+  (POTTS will search you. He won't notice the PUTTY, but if you took the
+    KEY or OIL he will take them back. Don't worry, you don't need them.
+    He will also take the GLASSES you found on REICH.)
+Leave the FACTORY and go to the POWER PLANT on the WEST side of the level.
+Use the WRENCH on both BUTTONS on the EAST side of the screen.
+Tell JOEY to push one BUTTON, then push the other at the same time.
+  (A PIPE will burst, and the OLD MAN will leave.)
+Use the SWITCH on the machine with bars on it.
+Take the LIGHT BULB.
+Put the PUTTY in the SOCKET where the LIGHT BULB was.
+Throw the SWITCH again.
+  (The bars will blow open.)
+Use the SWITCH that is pointing up. (Now both should be down.)
+Go to the ELEVATOR.
+Before you get in, tell JOEY to cut the CABLE on the EAST side of the screen.
+Use LINC CARD on SLOT.
+Enter LIFT.
+Get the CABLE.
+Go WEST.
+Go NORTHEAST (the door beside the other ELEVATOR.)
+Talk to GALLAGHER if you want to... it doesn't do any good.
+Use the CARD on the WESTERN SLOT.
+Enter the WEST DOOR.
+Move the PILLOW.
+Get the MAGAZINE under the PILLOW.
+Leave the APARTMENT and go to the TRAVEL AGENCY on the EAST side.
+Talk to the AGENT until he schedules you for a TOUR.
+Give the MAGAZINE to him, and take the TICKET that comes up from the desk.
+Look for LAMB, the fat guy in the fur coat. Since you fixed the elevator,
+  he may be either at the FACTORY or near his APARTMENT, next to REICH'S.
+Give LAMB the TICKET.
+If you're not already at LAMB'S FACTORY, go there and wait for LAMB to
+  show up.
+Ask LAMB about the FACTORY TOUR he promised you.
+  (LAMB will show you around his incredibly boring PIPE-MAKING FACTORY.
+    When he finds the machine broken, he will leave.)
+Go EAST.
+Talk to ANITA. When she asks for your LINC CARD, give it to her. Then talk
+  to her until there's nothing more to talk about.  She should tell you
+  about D-LINCS, SCHRIEBMANN PORTS, etc. You should also get the JAMMER
+  program which bypasses RETINA SCANS on LINC TERMINALS.
+Leave the FACTORY. 
+If LAMB is standing outside the FACTORY, use the LINC TERMINAL.
+  Choose the SECURITY SERVICES choice, D-LINC LAMB and freeze his assets.
+Wait until LAMB tries to use the ELEVATOR.
+Ask LAMB if he has a problem.
+Offer to feed his CAT.
+Go down a level to LAMB'S APARTMENT, next to REICH'S APARTMENT.
+Use your CARD to enter.
+Feed the stinking CAT if you want to, don't otherwise. It doesn't matter.
+Get the VIDEOTAPE on the shelf. Look at it in the VCR if you want.
+Go to DR. BURKE'S OFFICE on the WEST end of this level.
+Talk to the HOLOGRAPHIC RECEPTIONIST until she refuses to let you in.
+Ask JOEY to talk to her. Tell him to use his NATURAL CHARM.
+Go WEST when the door opens.
+Talk to BURKE about a SCHRIEBMANN PORT.
+  (Offer a lung, then a kidney. Talk to him again and he'll tell you the
+    good news about donating testes. Then he'll install the PORT.)
+Ask BURKE how to get out of the CITY. (He should mention his good friend
+  WILLIE, who is ANCHOR the INSURANCE AGENT.)
+Go to the INSURANCE OFFICE.
+Ask JOEY to use the computer.  (He should scramble the HARD DRIVE.)
+Ask ANCHOR about a SPECIAL POLICY. Tell him DR. BURKE sent you, not LAMB.
+When he walks into the back, tell JOEY to use his WELDER on the STATUE.
+Get the ANCHOR when it comes loose.
+Use the ANCHOR with the CABLE to form a GRAPPLING HOOK.
+Go back to HOBBINS' FACTORY on the top level.
+Go out on the ledge where you escaped from the first SECURITY OFFICER.
+Use the HOOK on the big "S" SIGN on the other building.
+  (You should crash through the window.)
+Don't bother with the LOCKERS, the only one you can open is useless.
+Go EAST.
+Use your CARD on the INTERFACE SLOT.
+Use the INTERFACE.
+  Now you're in LINC-SPACE.
+  Get the BALL.
+  Go EAST.
+  In the menu bar up top, use the OPEN program on the CARPET BAG.
+  Get the MAGNIFYING GLASS and SURPRISE GIFT that appear.
+  Use the DECRYPT program on the two DOCUMENTS with "?" on them.
+  Use the DECOMPRESS program on the COMPRESSED DATA.
+  Go EAST.
+  Use the PASSWORDS (green and red swirls) to get to the DOOR on the
+    NORTH side. This isn't hard, but I don't want to go through the
+    whole thing here.
+  Get the BUST and BOOK.
+  Use DECRYPT on the new DOCUMENT.
+  DISCONNECT.
+Use CARD on the TERMINAL at the right side of the screen.
+  Go to SECURITY SERVICES menu again.
+  View all the DOCUMENTS.
+  Enable the SPECIAL PHOENIX ACCESS.
+Use CARD in SLOT for ELEVATOR.
+Go down to the GROUND LEVEL.
+When the large, old WOMAN walks by, talk to the GUARD (OFFICER BLUNT).
+Talk to the WOMAN (MRS. PIERMONT).
+Go to the SOUTH side of the POOL, where the small SHACK is.
+Examine the DOOR and LOCK.
+Use a LINC CARD on the LOCK.
+Enter the SHACK.
+Get the SECATEURS (wire cutters, I guess).
+Go to the ST. JAMES CLUB entrance at the WEST side of the POOL.
+Talk to the DOORMAN.
+Find MRS. PIERMONT and talk to her again; ask her to sponsor you.
+Go to the APARTMENT ENTRANCE at the EAST side of the POOL.
+Talk to the GARDENER about the FLOWERS.
+  (He should tell you they're DANDELIONS.)
+Ask the BOY about DANDELIONS.
+  (He says they're yellow, not blue.)
+Talk to the GARDENER again.
+  (He should admit he's not a GARDENER.)
+Use the INTERCOM next to the ELEVATOR.
+  (She invites you to come up.)
+Talk to PIERMONT for however long you want, then ask her about the CLUB.
+When she gets up to call the CLUB, put the VIDEOTAPE in the VCR. 
+When SPUNKY starts barking at the MONITOR, go examine the BOWL he was
+  eating from. Get some DOG BISCUITS.
+Leave the APARTMENT.
+Go back to where the BRICKS and PLANK are.
+Put the DOG BISCUITS on the PLANK.
+Enter ST. JAMES CLUB.
+The BAND is probably playing; just talk to everyone for a while, then 
+ leave.
+It may take a while for PIERMONT and SPUNKY to come back out, so stroll
+  around for a bit.  You should hear barking when the dog finds the food.
+Use the ROPE to launch SPUNKY into the POOL.
+When BLUNT goes to help PIERMONT, enter the CATHEDRAL.
+Examine the DUMMIES.
+Enter the MIDDLE DOOR (between the way you came in and the DOOR behind
+  the DUMMIES.)
+Open the LOCKERS and examine what you find there. Yep, it's ANITA.
+Go back to the top level, enter the FACTORY and go where you last saw ANITA
+  alive.  Open the middle LOCKER and wear the OVERALLS (RADIATION SUIT).
+Go EAST into the REACTOR LOBBY.
+Use the CONSOLE.
+  Open the REACTOR DOOR.
+Enter the REACTOR DOOR.
+Get the LINC CARD.
+Exit the REACTOR.
+Use the CONSOLE.
+  Close the REACTOR DOOR. (I don't know if this is really necessary, but
+    it can't hurt.)
+Exit the REACTOR LOBBY.
+Wear your COAT again.
+Enter the SECURITY SERVICES OFFICE.
+Use REICH'S CARD on the ELEVATOR SLOT.
+Use ANITA'S CARD on the INTERFACE SLOT.
+Use the INTERFACE.
+  You're in LINC-SPACE again.
+  Do all the following as quickly as you can:
+    Use the BLIND program on the EYE.
+    Go EAST.
+    BLIND this EYE as well.
+    Go NORTH.
+    Ignore the CRUSADER for now and go NORTH again.
+    Leave the WELL alone for now and go EAST.
+    Get the TUNING FORK if the EYE is still blinded (white).
+  Okay, you don't have to hurry anymore.  
+  Go WEST.
+  Use the PLAYBACK program (projector) on the WELL.
+  DISCONNECT.
+Exit the SECURITY SERVICES building and return to GROUND LEVEL.
+Talk to the "GARDENER" again. He is EDUARDO. He'll tell you about the
+  VIRUS that ANITA was supposed to retrieve.
+Go into the COURTHOUSE next to ST. JAMES CLUB.
+  I don't know if all this is even necessary, but play along anyway. It's
+  mildly amusing. Defend HOBBINS; almost no matter what you do, he should
+  get two hours community service.
+Go back to ST. JAMES CLUB.
+The BAND should be gone now; if so, use the JUKEBOX.
+  Pick any song you want; I usually pick "You search, but find nothing."
+Eventually, the JUKEBOX should start skipping; if not, keep picking songs.
+  COLSTON will get up to fix it; when he does, grab his GLASS.
+Go back up a level to DR. BURKE'S OFFICE.
+Give the GLASS to BURKE.
+  You should now have COLSTON'S fingerprints on your hands.
+Return to the CLUB.
+Use the PANEL just to the right of the STAGE.
+Use the CROWBAR on the PACKING CASE.
+Get the LID and use it on the smaller BOX.
+Stand on the BOX and use the CROWBAR on the GRILL.
+Use the SECATEURS to remove the GRILL completely.
+(At this point, you may want to save your game just in case. Once you
+  enter the NARROW PASSAGE, there's no going back.)
+Enter the NARROW PASSAGE.
+Go EAST, then NORTHEAST, then EAST.
+  There should be a large HOLE near the EAST side of the screen here.
+Use the LIGHT BULB in the SOCKET to the left of the HOLE.
+Go EAST.
+Save your game.
+Go EAST.
+  The tunnel should begin to collapse. Quickly, run through the door in
+  the SOUTHEAST corner.  If you die, restore. (See why you saved?)
+Use the CROWBAR on the PLASTER behind the VEIN.
+Use the CROWBAR on the BRICKWORK exposed.
+Get the BRICK.
+Drive the CROWBAR into the SWELLING of the VEIN.
+Use the BRICK on the CROWBAR.
+Get the CROWBAR again if you want.
+When the MEDICAL ROBOT enters, go EAST.
+Go NORTH.
+Use the CONTROL UNIT on the EAST side of the room.
+  Reduce the temperature.
+Stand on the APERATURE (which should be nearly closed) and pull the METAL
+  BAR.  This should loosen the grate.
+Go WEST.
+Look through the GRILL on the wall to see the TANK ROOM.
+Go EAST twice.
+Use the CIRCUIT BOARD in the MEDICAL ROBOT.
+Tell JOEY to check out the TANK ROOM.
+When he returns, ask him to report. Ask him about everything you can, but
+  especially the NUTRIENT TANK.
+Tell JOEY to open the TAP on the NUTRIENT TANK.
+When you hear dripping, enter the TANK ROOM. The ANDROID should go to shut
+  off the tap and fall through the GRATE.
+Go NORTHEAST twice. You should end up in a MONITORING ROOM where there is
+  another LINC INTERFACE.
+Use REICH'S CARD on the TERMINAL near the entrance DOOR.
+  Choose ACCESS TO RESTRICTED AREA: OPEN DOOR.
+Go WEST.
+  Gallagher should confront you and beat up JOEY, who will kill him.
+Search the CORPSE for a CARD and search JOEY for the CIRCUIT BOARD.
+Go NORTHEAST.
+Use the RED CARD in the INTERFACE SLOT.
+Use the INTERFACE.
+  LINC-SPACE once more.
+  Go EAST.
+  BLIND the EYE and go NORTH quickly.
+  Use the DIVINE WRATH program on the CRUSADER.
+  DISCONNECT.
+Use ANITA'S CARD on the SLOT and use the INTERFACE again.
+  Go back via the usual route to where the CRUSADER was.
+  Go EAST through the door the CRUSADER was guarding.
+  Use the OSCILLATOR program (TUNING FORK) on the CRYSTAL.
+  Get the HELIX (VIRUS).  The VIRUS is now on ANITA'S CARD.
+  DISCONNECT.
+Go WEST then SOUTHEAST.
+Use ANITA'S CARD on the CONSOLE in the middle of the NORTH wall.
+  The MONITOR should display static afterwards.
+Get the TONGS hanging next to the EAST DOOR.
+Use the TONGS on the TANK full of FLESH BITS.
+Use the TONGS AND FLESH on the FROZEN TANK.
+Go EAST.
+Open the CABINET next to the MIDDLE ANDROID.
+Put the CIRCUIT BOARD in the CABINET.
+Use the CONSOLE above the CABINET.
+  Choose DOWNLOAD CHARACTER DATA and then RUN STARTUP PROGRAM.
+Talk to JOEY/KEN.
+Go EAST.
+Tell KEN to put his HAND on the PANEL.
+Put your HAND on the other PANEL.
+  The DOOR will open, but KEN'S HAND will be stuck. Leave him there.
+Go EAST twice.
+Tie the CABLE to the PIPE SUPPORT.
+Climb down the RUNGS.
+Use the FROZEN FLESH with the ORIFICE.
+Swing over to the newly-visible DOOR using the CABLE.
+  Now you're in the heart of LINC itself. There's an automated section
+  here where you talk to your FATHER, until KEN walks in.
+As soon as you have control again, tell KEN to sit in the CHAIR.
+Enjoy the sense of accomplishment.
