very difficult sequence, and will require much practice. Save your

secret code in the game documentation. If you find this code, you
will be able to use button [II] (two), and the correct sequence of
colors.

Hint:
Open the fortune cookie given to you by the old man on the crate.
Follow the letter abbreviations for the color codes.

How do I prevent the guards from killing me?

Hint:
If you forgot to lock the guard break room when you were at the
control panel, you will need to do so. If you did and they find you
anyway, you wasted time somewhere. After you leave the control room,
complete everything as quickly as possible. Eventually, if you are not
quick enough, they will find you.
