               A SynTax Helpline Query

What should I do while the music concert is going on?
-----------------------------------------------------

Around 15:10 go to the Private Car where the music concert is
starting. Sit down and appreciate the music. Watch Tahina.  Tahina
leaves the concert (to search compartments again).  Tahina returns
to the concert a few minutes later. Now it is safe to do some
compartment searching yourself! Leave the concert. You have half 
an hour to an hour to complete some very interesting activities 
while several people are occupied by the concert.

Go into Compartment E. Search it and read Rebecca's diary.  Exit
through the window and enter Anna's compartment. Open the trunk.
In the bottom drawer is an enlightening letter. Look at the jewel
case. In the bottom of it there is a secret compartment. Open it
and take the master key.


The master key will open all the compartment and outer doors.
Leave Anna's compartment and go to the outside door area between
the Rear Sleeping Car and Private Car. Use the key to unlock the
right-hand side door and go outside. Use the ladder to climb up to
the roof of the train. Turn around and walk to the back of the
train along the roof. When you get to the glass roof of the
Private Car (you should hear the concert), smash it. Jump down
into Kronos's private bedroom ....

What should I do in here?
-------------------------

Find the hidden switch on the wall to the right of the wardrobe 
and press it. This opens up a cabinet and reveals a briefcase. 
Look at the case. It is full of gold. Take it. 



Where should I hide the egg later?
----------------------------------

Go to the Baggage Car and go though to the very end (when the 
guard is elsewhere), so that you can see the engine. Open the 
dog's cage. Let Max out. Deposit the golden egg in the cage. 

Can I prevent Alexei's death?
-----------------------------

Nope.

What should I do after he dies?
-------------------------------

You should hear some loud ticking. Remember what he marked on
his train timetable? Go and look for a bomb.



Where is it?
------------

Go to the guard's forward station panel.

How do I disarm it?
-------------------

Move it only once. Use a match on the exposed wires to burn 
through them. Do not open the box! Turn the box around and 
remove the screws from the hinges. Place the telegram between 
the moving contacts to disarm the bomb.
