Guide:
Plot Guide by 333pet, no copying allowed.
1. Space Station Maze:
Get to the door by changing the direction that Gorix walks in. Move the direction arrows and then press GO to start Gorix walking. You must go through each airlock before you finish the level. You must avoid the black holes and guards.
2. Message Decoding Puzzle:
Go to the space station click the door at the bottom. Click on the newly opened door (Middle Door). First type "4" and wait for next screen then type "2". You will be taken to a list of coded messages. Click one to be taken to the next screen. For the code with only ten choices just go through the combinations one at a time until you enter the correct combination. For the ones with 20 or 30 choices use the help solutions below. Refresh the page to get the ending after you have decoded all twenty messages.
Shuttle Bay Puzzle:
Go to the space station click the door at the bottom. Click on the newly opened door (Right Door). Move from one end of the room to the other without getting seen by any of the garoo elite guards. If you get in a straight line in front of a guard and they are looking at you, then they will capture you, and you will have to restart the level. You can destroy a guard by moving onto the same space it is standing on. You have to make to the door to complete each level, and then to the prisoners in the last level.
Token Testing Facility:
Single Person Tests:
1. Heat Test: Create control rods
To make a bar you must put a part with an exact amount of one metal into the furnace. To get that amount you can put as many bars as you want into the furnace as long as their combined weight is less than 10 kg. To find out how much of a metal a bar contains multiply the weight of the bar by the percentage of the metal. For example: If a bar is 4.5kg and 20% of that bar is Slothite then multiply 4.5 by .2 to get the answer of .9kg.
Metal (Amount needed to make a bar)
Meridillium (0.7 kg)
Slothite (1.1 kg)
Zafarium (1.8 kg)
Xweetite (1.9 kg)
Tikium (2.5 kg)
Kadoatite (3.3kg)
Tyrannium (3.6kg)
Neopium (4.4kg)
Dariganium (5.0kg)
Faeryllium (5.3kg)
2. Dissolving Test: Create acid solutions
Unknown!
3. Gravitics Test: Gather singularities
Click anywhere on the black map and either you'll get taken to a random place in neopia or you'll get a singularity.
Multiple Person Tests:
1. Heat Test (Thermal Exposure Test)
Use the lever to move your rod closer to the radiation. You want to be 10-15 spaces away from the white glowing beam. Click the lock when you have it positioned correctly.
2. Dissolving Test
Read the name of the acid next to your name. Click on the matching acid:
First Row (left to right)
1. Hydrosloth
2. Transtyran
3. Meridell
4. Flourokad
5. CyanoFaerie
Second Row
6. Perneo
7. Zafaric
8. Tikitonic
9. Xweetic
10. Oxydariganic
Take total acid, multiply by 1000. (Notice that the amount you enter is in ml.) Multiple it again by the percentage next to your name. (Example: If your pecent is 95, multiply by .95) Enter the number, then click the lock.
3. Gravitics Test (Gravitics Exposure Test)
To get your first coordinate move the singularity (Black Dot) to the upper left corner. To get your second coordinate move the singularity to the upper right corner. Then open a spreadsheet program like excel.
In box A1 enter your first coordinate
In box B1 enter your second coordinate
In box C1 enter "=(A1^2-B1^2+400^2)/800"
In box D1 enter "=SQRT(A1^2-C1^2)"
This will give you the coordinate for the last singularity.
