EPISODE II - PAST TENSE
or
How About The Past Of Laurie Wood?
The Great Hall
Now we've freed Mei, her magic can help you against their magic. Example? Click on the
crystal ball and Mei gives you a picture of a room you need to go to.
Franklin Macy's Office
Macy's over by the candelabra on the wall. He turns it to close the secret passage
behind the
bookshelves. He also gives some kind of command to someone to lock it. When he's
finished
his speech and has left, go to his desk. Use his phone, he has three Voice Mail
messages. Again
the goatskin with the glyphs is mentioned. Also seems that Susanna insists on getting
her own
exhibition.
Go to the bookshelves you saw him close a while ago. Turn the candelabra. Shake the
maraca.
Then examine the book on the left side of the top shelf. It contains some receipt on how
to
make a certain chemical.
The Garden
Go from Macy's office to the garden. Here you'll meet Nick Costello. He mumbling and
finally
screaming. He seems to rehearse some kind of speech. And he's mad at you. Why? He tells
you
he's sure there's another presence there, he hears voices, there's magic, he feels
somebody's
watching us... Wow, Fox Mulder, eat your heart out!
When he has left, go to the bench he was sitting on and get the newspaper. Solve the
puzzle.
To change letters, click on one and drag it to it right position. When done right, the
words you
should get are, Capricorn, Museum, Treasure and Adventure. The solution needs some drag
and drop too, to get the solution: Discus. So far for Socrates.
The New Artist Gallery
In here, you meet Mei again. She gives you the Memory Book but before you can take it,
it
driven away from you by some evil force that locks it up in the chest. And, of course,
that
chest is locked! Yep, I know, nothing seems to be working in your advantage. So what
your
goal now? Opening this chest!
Before you leave, search this room. There's a toy like art thing with marbles and a
watering-
pot. Use the marbles and the camera will tilt. See a plant and take a leaf from it.
There also is
an objet d'art with balloons. Take a colorful balloon from it.
The Gift Shop
Mei left you a magic camera. Pick it up. The magic camera symbol will be placed left of
your
screen; button, lens and warning light. When you've take pictures, press the button to
look at
the Picture Book.
Take the new puzzle from the shelves; the Black 660. It has four pieces, of which three
can be
put together already. A lot of it is missing, but these pieces will be obtained later in
the game.
Mention the mystic puzzle symbol to the right of the playing interface.
Matthew A. Stevenson's Office
Go to this room and pass Jordan Cooper's office on the way. You hear three people
arguing.
Seems to be Macy, Cooper and Susanna. There's the sound of breaking glass after which
everyone starts mumbling. Nothing more to hear, here. Walk on!
In here, Reg is trying to open the drawers of Stevenson's desk. He escapes, leaving a
screwdriver for you. Take it. Mention that he puts a paperclip in his pocket. As you
can't open
the drawer with just the screwdriver, you might as well try to get a paperclip yourself.
Leave
the room.
Jordan Cooper's Office
On his desk, there are three different sizes op paperclips in glass ups. Get one from
each size.
Also get a bundle of paperclips from the middle cup. Get a match from the desk, too.
Look at
the brochures and read the pink memo that sticks out from under these brochures. Also
check
his Voice Mail. Coop seems to have some relationship with Susanna and she's making him
proposals... or is this just another way of her to get that exhibition? Important too,
is the
message from the Cayman Banks about deposited funds...
You can also open the file cabinet in this room by using the screwdriver and the small
paperclip. In the upper drawer you'll find a newspaper article about Coppersmith. In the
lower
drawer you'll find a requestform for change of legal name. The request is to change the
name
Coppersmith into Cooper...
The New Artist Gallery
Use the screwdriver in the examiner interface. Then use the large paperclip on the
screwdriver.
Get screwdriver and use it on the chest. Put things back in your inventory and open the
chest.
The book appears and it will also be a new item on top of your playing interface.
All over the book, scorpions are crawling. Use the piece of mirror. Place the reflection
triangle
on one of the creatures and it will be killed by one of it's mates. Do this till one
scorpion is left.
Now close the book to crush the last survivor between the pages. Yuck, bloody mess!
As you leave the room, Mei will explain the Memory Book to you. It's been given to you
to
reconstruct the past and it's tenses.
Recovering Some Memories
Now you've freed the memory book Mei gave you, from the locked chest, it's time to
collect
some memories and, maybe, get some light in the darkness about the strange things that
are
going on in here, my fellow adventurer. Take a look at the book, it has several pages,
two for
each person. Every page can contain four pictures, so there's a lot to be found.
As the museum is quite big and almost every room contains some memory item, as you might
remember, we visit the rooms one by one. Let's start at...
The Great Hall
Go to the statue and grab it's crotch. Yeah, sorry... Only to get the fifth piece for
the mystic
puzzle, I swear, nothing else intended!
Memory book:
1. Poke up the fire with the poke, get the piece of paper that comes out. It tells you
about
Jordan Cooper for the Memory Book and will be stored in the Scrap Paper Folder.
The Gift Shop
Get the videotape from the counter. Probably will come in handy later on.
Memory book:
1. Nameplate, on the counter. It tells you something about Lorena. Make sure the picture
is
now in the Memory Book.
The Restoration Studio
Meet Lorena again. She's excited about the US President coming to visit the museum.
Memory book:
1. Latex bottle, on the white desk, tells you about Reg.
2. Memo, above the white desk, tells you about Reg.
3. Letter, in the pink box on the white desk, tells you about Susanna.

bit hard to find, but when you walk towards the room, you should find some more working
desks. Take the knife with you.

Small object
so look carefully! Take the ring with you.
The Snack Room
Memory book:
1. Note, written on a napkin, on the diner table, tells you about Macy. At this point,
you'll get
the Scrap Paper Folder to put the note in.
The Supply Room
This room is behind the Snack Room, as can be seen on the map. Enter it. There's a
switchboard, which might come in handy later. In the storage racks, you can find a
red/black
bug spray, a yellow/black glue stick and a piece of pipe.
Memory book:
1. Piece of paper, tells you about Laurie. Take the piece of paper with you in the Scrap
Paper
Folder.
The Capricorn Room
There's no memory item to be found here. So why are we here then? Mention the blinking
green light of the mystic camera, this means a psychic photo can be take in this room.
Then go
to the coffin and place the cursor over it. The cursor will change in a camera icon. Use
it and
make a picture of the corps. The picture will be placed in the Picture Book.
The Security Room
This is Nick Costello's quarters. Get some dart arrows from the wall. Open the closet
with
Nick's name on it. There's a picture of Susanna in it and one of a little girl... Open
the closet to
the right of Nick's and find a small medicine bottle with a black microphone in it. Go
to the
fridge and open it. Find some kind of listening device. Also take a look at the MAKA 5
security system.
Memory book:
1. Magazine, in open chest, tells you about Costello.
Jordan Cooper's Office
Get the mirror piece from the desk. Take the powder compact from the desk corner.
Memory book:

2. Book about the Cooper family, on the bookshelves, tells you about Cooper.
3. Piece of mirror, beneath the desk light, tells you about Susanna.
4. Menu of Empress of China restaurant, waste bin near desk, tells you about
Susanna.
The fourth item mentioned above, is the fourth item telling about Susanna in the Memory
Book. Watch the movie clip in which Susanna and Stevenson are arguing. He's mad at her
because she's sleeping with Jordan. She's mad at him because it's not his business and
because
she always loved him but thought he didn't like her. She was wrong. Well, some soap
kinda
thing.
Franklin Macy's Office
Open the dark brown cabinet with the screwdriver and the middle size paperclip. You'll
find, in
the upper drawer a newspaper article and a supply re-order list for, amongst other
things,
flora-chloric acid. Mention the note that it's used to dissolve metals. In the bottom
drawer
you'll find a letter.
Memory book:
1. Contract, on desk, tells you about Macy.
2. Newspaper article, in cabinet, tells you about Macy.
Stevenson's Office
Open the drawers that are locked with the screwdriver and the middle size paperclip.

empty jewel box, a receiver, some $10 bills, an audio tape, a picture and a leather box.
The
leather box contains written cheques. Two of them seem important;
- Oct. 2nd, 1998. To dr. Reuben Banks, $7500 for Mongol translation.
- Sept. 29th, 1998. To The Legacy Club $15000 as a donation.

Laurie Wood's Office
There's a orange colored cabinet of which the upper drawers can be opened. One contains
a
note from some Matt. On the desk is a note from Reg. He's made a copy of some key but
glued it accidentally to his desk. Must be the key to the orange cabinet.
The Restoration Studio
Meet Susanna again. She's mad at Reg because he didn't play by the rules. When she
finally
found the scale, she leaves furious. This scale can late be found in the Supply Room!
Go to the window and on to the work bench. Click on the box with cutting tools and see
the
glued key Reg mentioned. Use the acid on the key and it will vaporize. Now put the
crucible in
the examiner and use the bundle of paperclips in it. Pour the melted iron into the mould
the
glue left after the key disappeared. Get the new key and go back to...
Laurie Wood's Office
You can now open the orange cabinet by using the key on the lower drawer (no yellow rim
around it this time!). Open it and find a box. Open it; it contains some bullets and a
letter. Both
are memory items.
Now you got all four items about Laurie's past; the movie clip appears and tells you
about
Laurie and Stevenson having an argument. Seems she's started some letter campaign
against
her father because he would have killed her mother. Stevenson brings out the jewel box
with
the gun in it, trying to make a deal with Laurie. He wants to help her investigate her
mother's
death.
You can open the desk drawers by using the screwdriver and the small paperclip. The
middle
drawer contains scissors, lipstick and perfume. The right drawer contains some newspaper
article. Didn't we see that one before in the newspaper in the Gift Shop? Anyway, some
letters
are cut out. Check the phone. There are 2 messages on it. One from Macy, telling her
that
Susanna has gotten her own exhibition and one from her father who seems a bit desperate
to
see her. Seems she's avoiding him.
Now check the left drawer. It contains a note and a torn up letter. Read the letter,
make sure
you read 'down'. Laurie comes in and tells you to leave that stuff where it is. After
she left,
check it again and now it'll be a memory item to Nick Costello..
The movie clip shows you Stevenson and Costello telling him not wanting to spy on people
anymore. Stevenson insist on doing so, as he suspects something illegal going on in the
museum, some kind of conspiracy. Nick leaves confused.
Memory book:
1. Bullets in box, orange cabinet, tells you about Laurie Wood.
2. Letter in box, orange cabinet, tells you about Laurie Wood.
3. Torn up letter, left desk drawer, tells you about Nick Costello.
The Great Hall
Go to the hall and meet Nick again. He's having these spooky voices again! Finally he
tells you
what you're looking for... you! Well, actually, that's me...
