The Rig is your first stop in Cyberia. You will find yourself in the Rig′s docking bay. A door on the right leads to Gia and the Gunnery Chair. The door on the left leads to a lift, which connects to the hangar, where a Transfighter is ready.
1. HELP WITH GIA: When you meet Gia, she immediately tells you to turn around and disarm your weapon. To avoid being killed, press the left arrow key on your keyboard. If you hit any other key or you take to long to react, you will be killed by Gia.
2. THE GUNNERY CHAIR: This is your first big challenge in Cyberia. If you find that this section of the game is too difficult, you may restart the game and choose a lower arcade difficulty level. Pay attention to the six blue indicators on the control panel display. (bottom middle of screen) These display hull damage to the Rig which you are defending. If too much damage is sustained to the Rig hull, it will be destroyed.
After successfully defending the Rig, Gia will congratulate you and offer a kiss. To accept her kiss, press the up arrow key or just wait. To decline, press the down arrow. Kissing Gia will cause Santos to become jealous and you will be rendered uncon- scious by a guard. There is no way to avoid this if you kiss Gia.
3. THE ELEVATOR: The elevator takes you from the upper dock to the hangar. To operate the elevator, walk to the buttons in the corner of the room. Your view will switch to a Visor View. Use the arrow keys to move your hand over the Hangar button and press the space bar to select it. The view will switch back to normal and you can walk into the elevator and ride up to the hangar.
4. GUARDS: If you don′t kiss Gia, you shouldn′t have too much trouble with any of the guards in the Rig, as long as you follow their directions.
If you did kiss Gia, Santos is enraged and will order you killed. After escaping from Santos, you will find your self in a warehouse.
Be sure to get the power pack for Santos′ weapon before you go on. In one of the rooms in the warehouse, you will find a ladder. After climbing the ladder and walking down a ramp, there is a door to the right which leads to the hangar. Once inside, you must quickly lock the door behind you or a guard will open the door and shoot you in the back. With the door locked, turn so you are facing the crates by the door and walk towards it. The view will change, showing you looking out from behind the crates. A guard is right down the hall from you. As the guard begins to walk towards your position the view changes back to a normal walking view. To fire your weapon, push the right arrow key to raise your weapon and press the space bar to fire. To be successful, you must wait until the guard is raising his weapon before you fire. If you shoot too early, you will miss and he′ll kill you.
5. THE BOMB PUZZLE: There are three ways of disarming the bomb depending on the puzzle difficulty level you have selected. The directions are as follows:
LEVEL 1: First do an MRI test on the bomb b
