Deep Space 9: Harbinger - Complete Solution

The broken computer puzzle
To shut down the main propulsion unit on the Orinoco first vent
the plasma, lest you be consumed in an almighty conflagration.
Then replace all the charred chips on the circuit board. Do this
by clicking on a replacement chip which will then appear, as if by
magic, on the puzzle board. Manoeuvre the replacement chip around
the board until it matches with its shattered counterpart. By
keeping your hand one space behind the chip you can nudge it into
place. Replace all three broken chips and then return to charming
Odo, the security chief, so that you may be whisked to the DS9 ops
room.

How to find Karrig
Once you've got through Sisko's debriefing take a jaunt to
Ambassador Karrig's room. Take a turbolift to the lower promenade
deck. Stepping out from the lift, turn left and hurry to the end
of the passage. On your left will be a bar (of the good time
variety) and on your right an airlock. Skip merrily through the
series of airlocks and you'll find yourself in the habitat ring.
Karrig's gaff is on the left of the habitat corridor just after a
turbolift. If you become lost you can check your location via the
'you are here' wall computers. Once outside Karrig's quarters ring
his bell by clicking the door icon. Then, nip back to the lower
promenade and find the security office just after the airlock on
the left-hand side of the corridor.  Wring the door over-ride code
from the ever-jocular Odo, dash back to Karrig's and use the code
to open the door. On entering be careful not to slip in the green
goo on the floor, or else Karrig's autopsy will have to be
conducted from the sole of your boot.

Investigation
After some light banter with the waggish Odo it's back to ops for
a conflab with Sisko and Dax. Once here you'll find yourself at a
bit of a loose end waiting for Karrig's logs to be reconstructed,
so, to usher the plot along, dash back to the habitat ring as soon
as possible. Go to the end of the habitat corridor and on the
right will be a red door. Enter the cargo bay through this door
and wind your way to the left, where you'll find another door
which accesses the docking ring. Mosey on through some more
airlocks and eventually you'll happen upon Ensign Farrow, who'll
introduce you to the Scythians. After this illuminating
conversation Dax will recall you to ops, where you may now analyse
Karrig's logs.

Karrig's log puzzle
You'll find the monitor on the console to the left of Dax. Each
colour bar represents a word. You must arrange the bars so that
they form a specific sentence. The sentence is: 'Peace is many
voices arguing.' Click on each colour bar's icon and then click on
the lower panel to hear the translation. The correct colour
sequence is: purple, green, yellow, red and blue. Now you may
probe Karrig's logs for their darkest secrets.

Delving into Karrig's logs
Karrig was a bit of an old gas-bag and thus his library is chock
full of logs. Fortunately, only 'Clarity' is relevant to game
progress. So, to minimise mucking about, proceed straight to the
standard logs and access 'Clarity'.  If you don't listen to this
log you won't be able to talk to the Scythians again.  Inform Dax
of your findings and then it's off to see the taciturn aliens
again.

Shoot-out
Just before entering the cargo bay save the game; a spot of
unseemly violence is about to occur and it's always wise to take
out some insurance for these situations.  Resist the temptation to
let Odo be fried and target the blue Lykotians with the cursor
immediately. The moment the cursor turns into a sight let them
have it.  You only have a limited time to zap foes; if you freeze
they'll nail you.  The second Lykotian is round the corner to the
right a bit.

The hunt for the red Lykotians
Although the doomed Yarrow greases one Lykotian, five are still at
large in the station. First, save the game. Next click on the
prostrate Lykotian's wrist and whip off his 'refraction mantle'
device. The Lykotians are invisible until you blast them, so this
device acts as a detector. Listen for the clicking sound which
speeds up as you close in on your quarry.  Whack out the Lykotians
in the following order. First the one in Karrig's quarters, then
the one in front of the Bajoran temple on the lower promenade,
across from Quark's bar. Next the one in the upper bar, then the
one back in the habitat ring and finally, the last of the
fugitives is in the second airlock section between the cargo bay
and the docking ring. Again you have limited time before you are
killed, so don't hang about. Stay alert as the detector clicks
rapidly, then, as soon as the cursor becomes the phaser icon blast
everything at about chest height.

Oh no! We're all gonna crash
Now that you've quite finished swatting drones, crash landing and
generally wallowing in melodrama, it's time to find a way out of
this mess. The situation is obviously desperate as you want to
talk to that crazy funster Constable Odo. He'll work out the game
plan that will save Kira. To communicate with Odo you'll need to
enter the drone factory via a rupture in the runabout's hull
underneath a control panel. Save the game at this point and then
at frequent intervals in the drone-infested factory maze. Once in
the factory you need to restore the power.

Tooling up
If you find yourself in the maze unarmed, then it's time to
hotfoot it back to the crashed runabout. Look carefully around the
interior of the shuttle and you'll find a wall panel containing a
phaser. Grab this, and then swagger back to the maze to show those
drones what you're made of.

How to restore power
In the maze you must find the two reactors and bring them on-line.
One is situated just to the right of the maze entrance, while the
other is located opposite the first on the far side. Once both
reactors are on you should go to the power room at the top of the
maze accessed by the lift on the third tier. This room contains a
large square console with lots of icons on each side.


The power room puzzle
Proceed by matching the four colour pairs blue, yellow, green and
pink. Achieve this by clicking on a colour's icon, and then
finding its partner and clicking on it.  If all goes according to
plan, electricity will flow upward in the corresponding colour.
Once all the combinations are activated there should be four
electric colour beams flowing upward. Don't activate the red beam
as this only causes more drones to attack you in the maze.

How to communicate with Odo
With the power on you must find your way to the communications
room. This is located on the far side of the maze opposite the
entrance. Here you'll find a static-ridden screen with Odo's
voice coming through. Odo will direct you back to the runabout,
where you must solve the power conduit puzzle. This may be
accessed via a black panel on your left.

The tube puzzle
You have to route the colours from the top to the bottom. Turn the
arrows to set the directions you want the flow to follow. All
three colours you are routing must go through the centre point.
Use only the good tubes for routing the colours and be careful not
to route colours to an occupied space. Click the colour node on
top to start the flow. Now Odo will be able to beam Kira out and
you can continue with the mission.

Save the day
To destroy the drone factory you must exit the runabout and
approach the gate you're facing. Lift the gate by solving the
control puzzle and enter the large room beyond. Quark will be
waiting to talk to you in the room to your right, but he'll keep
silent until you have gone through the door opposite the entrance
and seen the unextended bridge and the bridge controls. Once you
have witnessed this the eccentric Quark will spur you on.

The gate puzzle
The gate puzzle is divided into four quadrants. You must light up
the right combination to lift the gate. Click the upper left
quadrant until the shard second from the left is lit.  Click the

lower left quadrant so the middle shard is lit. Click the lower
right quadrant so the shard second from the left is lit.

After the invisible bridge
If you aren't accosted by passing drones, you will arrive in a
large room containing a central console. Hidden from view behind
this console is a flight of stairs. Dashing up the stairs you will
come to a landing and more stairs. Taking these in your stride
will bring you into contact with the Scythian Holoprogram, Keel,
for the first time. Chat to Keel and glean as much information as
you can.  You must figure out the words of access to interact with
the other two holoprograms. Then pull on your clever clogs and
work out a plan to deal with one of the holoprograms that has been
wreaking havoc in the factory.

A link between Syr and the Scythians
It's time to head to the communications room and find the link up.
After you've talked to Syr, and he's demanded proof of the
Scythian existence, go to the communications room for a head to
head with Odo. Beneath the view screen there will be a puzzle. To
complete the link up, click on the bottom middle shard so it is
the only one lit.

Havik's comeuppance
To destroy Havik you must first purge him from the system. Invoke
the tactical holoprogram with the refraction mantle set on
reflect. Befuddled old Havik will now think you are Havik and will
quite happily stand by as you purge him. Once this is done you
must find his home bank and wreck it. It's located in the room
where Quark has been hiding. Steam into the room and turn left.
Your phaser icon will register. Train it onto the home bank and
fire. Then, with the villain vanquished, you'll just have to
suffer as accolades and advances for your autobiography are heaped
upon you.
