                   Solution by Bev Truter

NB: Unless you have the "fixed" version of NMR2 (available from
Sue) you will be unable to defend yourself against the aliens, as
the weapon you need to do this is locked inside the safe, which is
unopenable in the original version.

In your office: Get the vial and X it (contains green stuff). Open
the drawer in the desk, get slip of paper and read it - this tells
you about the Greek letter pi. You'll need to know the numerical
value of pi in order to open the safe. To unlock the safe turn
dial to right (31), turn dial to left (41), turn dial to right
(59).  Open safe, look in safe, get ray gun. Get and X the
lab-coat, open the pocket, X pocket, then take and wear the badge.
The guard ignores you as long as you are wearing this badge. Use
the gun on any aliens you encounter - they wander about randomly
and you have about 3 moves in which to type KILL ALIEN WITH GUN.

Stock Room: The clerk here needs a requisition slip before he will
give you a test tube. This can be found deep within the
Bureaucratic Maze - more on this later.

Lunch Room: Do not enter this room until you are ready to measure
a sample in the spectrometer. The salesman here will bore you to
death (literally!) with his ceaseless chatter in about 6 moves.

Secretary's Office: You'll have to transform the secretary somehow
before she will allow you to enter the maze to the east. THROW
STUFF AT SECRETARY (you must be carrying the vial) and she will
turn into a crow for 20 moves. On your return trip from the maze
she will not allow you out of the office if she has turned back
into the secretary, so after mapping the maze and finding the
requisition slip, restore a saved game, then find the requisition
slip and beat a hasty retreat out of her office in under 20 moves.
The green stuff in the vial only works once on the secretary. If
you waste any of the green stuff by putting it on other objects,
you won't have any left to put in the tube.

Bureaucratic Maze: From the secretary's office go E-S-E-N-S-S to
the Purchasing agent's office, where you'll find a requisition
slip. If you are holding the message slip you'll be asked "which
slip" each time you refer to the "slip", so drop the message slip
before you reach the purchasing agent's office. To get back to the
secretary's office go N-W-N-S-S-E.

Return to the Stock Room, and the clerk will give you a sample
tube to hold the green stuff. Get tube, open tube, put stuff in
tube.  Next, go to the Lunch Room, and the salesman will follow
you wherever you go. Drop the ray gun when you reach the small
laboratory with the first spectrometer, as carrying the ray gun
with you will cause the second spectrometer in the Small NMR Room
to overheat and explode. Go east into the Small NMR Room, and the
salesman will eventually get rid of the alien here, in a rather
unusual way! After both the alien and the salesman have
"disappeared", put tube in spectrometer, turn on spectrometer,
measure stuff. You win the game with a score of 450/400 (?)
