Synopsis

The self-destruct sequence has been initiated. Find all 10 mechanical parts and escape!

Gameplay

A private party of players must find 10 mechanical parts in a QuadZone Rescue Craft to repair the escape pod before the ship explodes. As the players explore the pieces, the Pting may sabotage certain systems, requiring players to go to a section of the ship to fix them.

The mechanical parts are as follows:

• Control room: Match a set of symbols appearing on screens.
• Vents: Explore the vents and find a larger room inside them.
• Disposal room: Leave the ship and find the part floating in a heap of junk in space.
• Tech room: Find the part on a keyboard.
• Training simulator: Complete a physical training simulator involving jumping through small spaces while switching platforms in and out of physicality.
• Space Walk: Grapple through materials to grab it inside an asteroid.
• Communication room: Find a code in dossiers throughout the ship, and transmit it here to the Doctor's TARDIS.
• Gravity core: Jump on platforms to the top of the room.
• Cafeteria Sliders: Unknown.
• Nanites: Can be found throughout the ship and assembled into a mechanical part.
