hit by a subway train costs you 2,000 credits, so be careful down there! If
you end up in the SRC, fear not: Your inventory can be recovered.

You will need to destroy many robots for two reasons: to earn credits by

be targeted for capture by the robots, and sent to the SRC if you're
caught. If you fail to surrender to a robot or turn over contraband, you
will have to fight and run. If you lose the fight or surrender voluntarily,
you're off to SRC.

The escape tunnel is located right behind your bed: Just climb over it and
walk through the wall. The ladder will take you all the way down to the
first level of the underground. Your cell is on Level 3 of the SRC. In a
