In-reply-to: your article <4381@phoenix.Princeton.EDU> I need some help with where I've gotten in my game of COLONY. I'd appreciate your help. Currently, I've found the forklift. I've found the special chute to go from level 5 to the bottom of the 3 sub-basements. I've found the COlony's reactor core one (unfortunenately, I haven't made any maps so as to get to it again). I've found about 6 children's cryogenic chambers. I've gotten one of them up to level 1 (using the forklift) and I was thinking of trying to get it back to the ship, this way I can teleport the children from various points in the colony back to my ship. However, I can't get the forlift over the step needed to leave the colony. (I'm also not sure how well the slow-moving forklift can withstand enemy fire once I'm moving across the open plains.) Also, how can I get over the pit traps in front of the colony's nuclear reactor if that's where I'm to get fuel for my ship. I can't FLY over the pits. What should I do. Please don't give me ALL the clues (YET). Just guidance to get me started again, I'm stalled. Thanks. Jim Collymore
