Junk items will give you more credits but Scrap takes up less space in your inventory. You can throw junk items in there for Credits or Scrap (vaporized junk objects). Take out the Maintenance-Bot and then check out the Recycle Station (6). Once the connection is complete the lift to the left will activate. The more circular nodes are end points so avoid them. You need to connect the two square nodes together by connecting a path between them. It will be different every time you play the game. There are 2 kinds and this is the connection type. To the south of this room you’ll find your first Junction Box puzzle (5). On the other side you’ll find your first enemy, the Humanoid Mutant. Press the Green Button to open the office door and enter the code in the keypad by the to the west. You’ll need this to get out the door to the west. Inside you’ll find a Data Stick giving you the code to the door to the Healing Suites. Open the small hatch to the office (4) to the right of the Charging Station. The Charging Station is nearby (3), don’t forget to pick up the Head-Mounted Vision Unit V1 on a nearby shelf. You’ll hear a little beep when a camera spots you and their location is marked on the map as an orange circle so I won’t mention the location of all 24 of them. Soon you’ll find a message telling you to destroy them all.

In the corner you’ll find the first camera.

Just give them a whack with the lead pipe a few times. The Healing Suite is at (2) where you’ll find a Surgery Bed for a full heal. Use the STD Access Card to open the door at the bottom of the ramp on the right. Pretty soon you’ll get a live transmission from Rebecca Lansing. You’ll also find the Navigation and Mapping Unit V1, the Standard (STD) Access Card and the Multimedia Data Reader V1. Grab the Medipatch on a shelf to the right, then open the door down the ramp on the left side for a storage room where you’ll find your first weapon, the Lead Pipe. When you wake up you’ll be in the Neurosurgery Ward of the Medical Labs. Once it was finished interact with the computer for another cutscene. Take a look around if you want but there’s not much to do here until the computer has finished bruteforcing the password.

After the cutscene you’ll be in your apartment.
