USING SWITCHES
Throughout the game the team will need to operate switches, these are used by positioning
a team member in front of the switch placing the Action Cursor over the switch and clicking
the Action button. In some cases a prolonged holding of the switch maybe required, this is
achieved by holding the Action button and without releasing it activating the Resource
Menu by pressing the right mouse button, at which point the character holding the switch
is locked into position until you reselect him and move him away from the switch.
REPAIRING ITEMS
Andre is your engineer and as such will be called upon from time to time to try and repair
various systems. To successfully repair an item you must place your cursor over the
repair bar, clicking and holding the action button will initiate the bar slider, releasing the
action button will cause the slider to stop. If the slider stops within the blue zone one
repair point will be added, the number of repair points will be displayed at the base of the
screen. If you stop the slider in the red zone one repair point will be lost. Once the
required number of repair points is gained the system will again be able to work normally.
DOWNLOADING INFORMATION
At certain points of the game Minoko will be called upon to download information from
the various computer terminals located throughout the city. Many of these terminals are
fitted with ‘time-out’ security features and only a specialized skilled operative like Minoko
will be able to open the codes before the terminals lock and reset themselves. To crack
each phase of the terminal code position the cursor over the relevant spinal clicking once
when the indicator enters the red zone, completing the code successfully will enable
download to commence. Either missing the red zone or running out of time will result in
the terminal resetting and you will need to try again.

UUPPAA PPRROOFFIILLEESS
Carter – 36 year old male. UPA Squad
Leader. Has plenty of experience and has
worked his way up through the UPA
ranks to his present position. Takes his
job and position seriously. Not looking
forward to ‘retirement’ to a desk job at 40
as is standard in the UPA. Serious, in-
command and in-control.
Minoko – 20 year old female. UPA Tech
Division. An orphan who was taken onto
the UPA youth training program at 9
after showing high levels of aptitude
with computers her ability to hack into almost any system was
noticed by the UPA as a skill that would benefit their organization. She has trained
ever since, and became a full UPA operative at 17 – the youngest age possible.
Limited in-the-field experience; has only been working with Carter and his team for
1 year. Young, cheerful and optimistic.
Andre– 32 year old male. UPA Engineering Division. A skilled engineer with a natural
ability to understand and repair mechanical and electrical systems. Joined the UPA
at 25 looking for excitement after growing restless in his previous job as a SkyLift
engineer. Considered by his superiors to have a slight attitude problem, but still
expected to fill Carter’s shoes when he ‘retires’.
Amber – 27 year old female. UPA Cyborg Division. Suffered horrific injuries in a
Skyway accident at the age of 19 and chose to become one of the ‘Metal Heads’ of
the UPA rather than have normal human-cyborg reconstructive surgery. Has
become increasingly withdrawn and machine-like as the years have gone by as
seems to happen with members of the Cyborg Division. When she does speak it is
quiet, calm and morose. She is capable of operating in hazardous environments.
Control – 48 year old male. UPA Control. Retired field operative who has taken up
position as the 5th member of Carter’s 4 man squad. Although the Control for a
team often varies depending on the mission, he and Carter have worked together
many times before. Experienced and serious – Carter’s future.
