London C.I.T.Y. 2000 - PC
Solution:
---------
ONCE UPON A TIME
The date is January 1st of the year 2000. You're just trying to
get some rest after completing Mission Idaho successfully, when
the phone rings and some illustrious contact from British
Intelligence asks you to come over to London. Used to having your
guts in the line of fire, you get up and take the next flight to
the English capital. You arrive at Heathrow at o-ninehundred hours
sharp and then it up to you!
Walking around the airport the speaker calls for you and asks you
to come to the information desk. This desk is near the escalator.
Man of the world as you are, you flirt with the cute girl before
getting serious. Well... if this is how it's gonna be like all the
time in London...?
You pick up the phone and listen to the instructions given.
A reservation for the Hilton has been made for you. The girl behind
the info desk gives you the envelope which contains money and a
message (yellow corner) that says you'll have to be at 10 Curzon
Street in Mayfair at 8 p.m. for dinner. It's signed with an X.
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY
Walk around the airport and find the photoboot. Use this boot and
you'll have a picture of yourself. Also find the restaurant and
the dirty coffee mug that's in front of it. Then go to the trains
and use your money to buy a tube ticket. Take the train to down
town London. Walk in a northeast direction to the Hilton hotel and
get your room keys from reception desk. Look around in the foyer
and find the large map of London.
As there are no messages for you, you go to Mayfair to meet Agent
X. North of your hotel you'll find this place. Find the doorbell
and press it. The door opens and a handsome girl let's you in:
"Hello, I'm Kate. Agent X had to fly to Paris, so I've been sent
to replace him. Please sit down. There's a dangerous criminal, a
Mr. Rooter, at work in London. He plans to take over the capital
by a chemical. British agents tried to apprehend him but they
failed in their attempt. Your mission is to find the hidden
laboratory and obtain the chemical formula. Your next contact will
be Agent Y, who is in Madame Tussaud's. He's disguised as a wax-
model. He likes to chop and change."
When you stopped drooling, goldielocks will give you a credit
card and a decoder. Then you should hurry to Madame Tussaud's.
FINDING THE SECRET LABORATORY
In the museum you'll have to find the wax model of Henry VIII. He
(or she) is Agent X. Use the following line:
"How a man could possibly want six wives, is beyond me."
Henry will give you a message (red corner). It's encrypted but,
hey, being a better agent then 007 himself, there's no problem!
Just take a letter from the message and for the translation of
this one you just take the next letter in the alphabet. Example:
A in message is actually B, C is D, etc. The message from Agent X
is:
"S. Rooter drug laboratory Los Locos Soho Square - heavily guarded
- beware - agent Y".
Go to Soho and find the lab. This lab is at the green dot nearest
to the S in Soho. Turn north and use the doorbell. To get access
to the lab use the following lines during the conversation:
1. "I'm looking for Los Locos"
2. "I've come about the job as the replacement guard."
3. "Oh dear, have I put my foot in it!"
On the steps there'll be a package of cigarettes. Snatch it away
while the guard is checking you're ID. Then you'll get a message
(pink corner) from a lab technician to pick up something. Leave
the lab (right, right, forward) and when you're outside, you
examine this order. It says:
"Collection address 123 Pont Street off Sloane Street".
Examine the cigarette case and you'll find a note (orange corner)
with the word "Songbird" on it. Go to the pick up address. This is
in the V-like street corner between Sloane Street and Brompton Road.
Look north and find the doorbell. When conversation is necessary,
you'll give the codeword: songbird.
Pick up the backpack with the chemicals and return to the lab in
Los Locos. On the steps you'll find an ID-card of some Dr. Murphy.
Get it.
GETTING RID OF DR. MURPHY
Leave the lab and examine the ID-card. This Dr. Murphy lives on
119 Ennismore Street, Kensington Gore. Before you start running
to Murphy's house, take a break and go to Mayfair. Use the door
bell and you'll hear a message which tells you your contact is at
The Garden. This is Covent Garden and that'll be your destination
now. Find a cosy corner (from the center of The Garden, turn north-
east) and meet your contact. She'll make a photo of the ID-card and
she will give you a skeleton key. Conversation's like this:
Kate: "Let me see the ID-card you got. Hmm. Not bad! I assume you
intend to use this to get into the lab. Well, don't dispose of Dr.
Murphy too permanently, will you."
John: " Don't want him turning up at the lab and spoiling things"
Kate: "Well, make sure he doesn't. You'll have to find a way to
keep him prisoner during all this. He's a traitor after all. Oh,
I nearly forgot... Fits most locks. Got to dash. Bye."
Now go to The Tower Of London and find a rope near Traitor's Gate.
Now go to Murphy's house. Just go to the Science Museum and take the
road that's between this museum and the Victoria & Albert Museum, to
the right between two green fields and then a right turn, followed
by a left turn. Use the skeleton key to get in. Once you're in, get
the cane. Now Dr. Murphy will enter and you'll just knock him down.
Get the keys and use the ansaphone. There's a message on it:
"Visions of a new world. Hello, Dr. Murphy. This is Mary, from the
lab. I noticed that you've collected your pass. I'm afraid you also
have to collect your lab coat. It was lent to an artist friend of
mine. He said he'd leave it somewhere where you could find it easily.
Looking forward to meeting you...."
Now, at last, use the rope you found to tie up Murphy. Leave the
house and go to Tate Gallery. Turn north to the brown building with
a row of green dots (on the map) and you'll find the labcoat on the
steps. Return to Covent Garden and meet your contact again.
Kate: "How did you get with our friend Murphy?"
John: "We needn't worry about him for a while."
Kate: "So what's next?"
John: "We'll go to the lab and try to get the formula. As far as I
can gather, they haven't met Dr. Murphy yet. So I should be able
to block my way through, as long as they don't ask any tricky
questions."
Kate: "We'll need to know procedures as well as the formula for
the drug. That's a lot of information to take in and remember.
You may need to steel the file. If you're lucky, it will all be
on computer. But for goodness sake, don't mess up on this one.
Be prepared before you go. If they catch you, they'll have your
guts for garter's."
John: "Don't worry. I'll think of something."
Kate: "Yes. Over a pint in the Lord Nelson's Tavern, most likely."
UNDERCOVER IN THE LOS LOCOS LAB
Go to King's Road. On the other side of the road from the purple
'Public House'-sign, there's a pub called 'The Trafalgar'. It's
not easy to spot! Enter this pub, have a beer and find a blank
disk from the table and leave.
Now use the photo of yourself; Murphy's ID-card will become
