Mission: What Lies Beneath/Walkthrough

= Drozana Station =

The Depths of Drozana
It't time to find out what's really going on at Drozana Station, using Ze'mara's access code to bypass the security doors to the maintenance levels.

Go To Drozana Maintenance Levels
Apparently the Ferengi aren't big on keeping the maintenance levels cleaned up. Or lit.

Federation Science Officer:  Klingon Science Officer: 

Take an Emergency Flashlight (Optional)
If you're having difficulty seeing where you are going, there is a crate full of emergency supplies from which you can take a flashlight just ahead.

Tactical Officer:

Find the Maintenance Lift
With or without flashlight equipped, it's time to see what's out there. To the left side of the first large room you enter there are some side rooms. Opening the door, the first signs of Devidians appear.

Tactical Officer:

Science Officer:

There is also the corpse of a Ferengi here that can be scanned for more information.

Federation Science Officer:  Klingon Science Officer: 

Passing the late Ferengi and moving along, there is a console where you can check the power distribution grid.

Science Officer:

Returning to the large room, there is a door directly opposite the one you originally entered from. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be working.

Engineering Officer:

[Engineering] Bypass Power Conduits for Stuck Door (Optional)
If you happen to be an Engineering Officer, you can bypass the power conduits to get the door operational again.

Everyone else will have to take the last remaining exit from the room. Watch your step; partway along the corridor there will be a minor collapse that can injure you and your bridge officers.

Continuing to the Maintenance Lift
Follow the corridors until you come to one last door before the lift. The Devidians will finally react to your presence and attack you.

Science Officer:

That's good advice. Hopefully you equipped the proton rifle already, but if not, you should still be able to fight the Devidians off. Once you have succeeded you can proceed to the manintenance lift.

Federation Tactical Officer:  Klingon Tactical Officer: 

Science Officer:

Unfortunately, once you reach the lift, there is another obstacle in your path.

Engineering Officer:

Unlock the Maintenance Lift
You'll have to access a maintenance console to unlock the lift. It's down the short branch corridor you just passed to get to the lift.

Federation Engineering Officer:  Klingon Engineering Officer: 

Take the Lift to the Computer Core
The last obsticle removed, you can now take the maintenance lift down to the computer core.

The lift seems to have different ideas, however.

Ghosts and Shadows
Engineering Officer:

Repair or Reroute Control Relays
The lift has stopped short of your destination, you need to reroute power to continue, and you are confronted with a locked door.

Federation

Federation captains can scan the door.

Engineering Officer:

Perhaps you can contact your vessel for assistance?

Bridge Officer: Science Officer:  Klingon

Klingon captains don't waste any time scanning the door or trying to contact their vessel, and just get down to the business of overriding the lock. 

While the door is locked, you can still bypass it at the console near the door by using the emergency override. However, as soon as you have gotten through...

Tactical Officer:

You're going to need a very complex code key to get back out again. Hopefully you can locate it before you're killed by the triolic waves.

This room contains a few Talarian hook spiders which will attack you if you disturb them. There is also a datapad containing a maintenance log sitting atop a pile of crates.

Maintenance Log Entry:

Repair Relay #1
Down a corridor to the left is the first relay that needs to be repaired. A group of Devidians will ambush you once you finish.

Repair Relay #2
Proceed back out the remaining entrance of the room and you'll come to a cross corridor. The way to the left is blocked, so take the way to the right. As you approach the room that contains the second relay, you will hear a voice.

Unknown: Tactical Officer:

Use the communications console to communicate with this person in distress.

Unknown:

Unknown:
 * Who is this?

Unknown: Unknown:
 * Who shot you?
 * I'm activating the manual override. Try to reach the release lever.

Activate the manual release and enter the room, but you're too late to save the Bajoran. You can examine her corpse for clues, however.

Science Officer: Federation Tactical Officer:  Klingon Tactical Officer: 

No time to ponder this mystery; the second relay is located here, and must be repaired. Doing so will disturb some Talarian hook spiders which will attack you. There is also another maintenance log that you can examine.

Maintenance Log Entry:

Repair Relay #3
Exit the room and you'll find that the way to the room containing the last relay that needs repair is no longer blocked. You will encounter a larger Devidian ambush before you can perform the repairs. Once you succeed, there is only a backup relay to activate and you can get out of here. Assuming you can find a code to the door that's blocking your exit.

Activate Backup Relay #4
As you proceed towards the backup relay, a strange voice echoes through the maintenance corridors, singing some kind of song...

Unknown:

You will also encounter plasma being vented into the corridors by plasma injectors.

[Science] Activate Remote Override on Plasma Ejectors (Optional)
If you happen to be a Science Officer, you may be able to do something about this.

Science Officer:

All others will have to dash through the plasma jets while they are off.

Continuing to Backup Relay #4
After getting through the plasma jets, you can activate the backup relay. Once you have activated it, you will be ambushed by Gein who, after taking some damage, will disappear.

Science Officer:

Look for the Encryption Key
Now you just have to find the encryption key you need to get back to the lift. Head back the way you came, remembering to run through the plasma jets while they are off if you're not fortunate enough to be a Science Officer. As you proceed back down the corridor, you will hear that voice singing again.

Unknown:

Defeat the Killer and Find His Encryption Key
At the end of the corridor, you will find Gein waiting for you.

Gein:

Gein is joined by a large number of Devidians, all of whom try to kill off you and your away team. Once they are defeated, you discover the identity of the killer, as well as your key out of here.

Federation Science Officer:  Klingon Science Officer: 

Take the Lift to the Computer Core
Open the locked door and return to the maintenance lift. Time to head deeper into the Devidians' nest.

Spectre of the Past
You've finally reached your original destination, the level containing Drozana's computer core.

Engineering Officer:

Reach Core Access Ramp
Once again, you're faced with a locked door. Examine it and see if there is a way around or through.

Science Officer:

Use Secondary Security Console to Access Core
Head to the room down the hallway and access the secondary security console. You will be ambushed by more Devidians when you do so, but the door will be unlocked and you will be able to proceed.

Secure the Computer Core
Proceed through the door and you will come to a room with several bodies on the floor. Bodies wearing Starfleet uniforms. Starfleet uniforms from the 23rd century. Scan one of them to determine what they are doing here.

Science Officer:

Exiting this room you will be faced with a horde of Devidians, but the phase shift does not last long and they do not attack you. You have now reached the top of a long ramp spiraling downward to the computer core, with a three rooms leading off to the right as you go down.

[Tactical] Activate Computer Core Defenses (Optional)
As you approach the first of these rooms, if you are a Tactical Officer, you will be able to activate the computer core's defences to assist you when you finally confront the Devidians.

Tactical Officer:

The room will contain some Devidians that you will have to fight through before you can reach the console to activate the computer core defenses, however.

Regulate Core Power Systems (Optional)
As you approach the second room, you have the option of disrupting the Devidians and their gate using the computer core's power systems.

Science Officer:

You'll have to fight through a group of Devidians to reach the console, however.

Regulate Core Field Systems (Optional)
As you approach the third room, you have the option of countering the Devidians' phasing ability using the field systems.

Science Officer:

This action will disturb some more Talarian hook spiders that will attack you.

To the Computer Core
Head down to the bottom of the ramp and you'll find the computer core infested with Devidians. You and your bridge officers are in for a fight.

With the core secure at last, you can seek the source of the Devidian incursion.

Federation Science Officer:  Klingon Science Officer: 

Scan the Devidian Portal
Scan the portal located in the computer core.

Federation Science Officer: </diV> Klingon Science Officer: </diV>

Depart System
Exit the Drozana maintenance levels, leave the system, and head for Deep Space K-7, or Galanda Station.

= Deep Space K-7/Galanda Station =

Use Computers to Analyze Scan Data
Upon your arrival at Deep Space K-7/Galanda Station, utilize one of the large computer banks to analyze the readings you took of the Devidian portal.
