The plant in POTS

There is more than one way to deal with your parent-bot. There are 3 ways in fact. To find the correct one, you do need to get past the soldier so you can a couple of other things before you are captured. Regardless of how you get past your parent-bot, you must have a command code to turn on the air-con, otherwise, you will be cooked. A further clue: there is one very important object that is used twice.

Yep, that's the one. I know it's a bit cruel to require this bit after you have worked your way through the rest of the adventure.

increase your Attack Strength when using the Energy Whip, and discover how to weaken Phisphodia? If so, how difficult was it to discover how to do these two things?

Even when I get environmental control I still get vapourised, regardless of timing. In the downloadable version, it implies that you should turn to numbers you find (ie: 24 for Gary Fishbourne) but when onine that's impossible

Just pick Gary's ID and select use!

I'd say personally that the energy whip was very easy to find. Its a little like hellfire in that it looks likea bad thing to do, but I picked it up on my second playthrough. Took me a while to figure out the tree thing as well. As for weakening the queen, I still haven't figured that one out.

If you have a command code, then when you reach the final corridor, you will automatically use it to turn on the air-con. Unless there is some flaw somewhere, the only way to get cooked in the final corridor is to run out of time, or not have the command code. Are you sure you have the command code? You went to the bridge after leaving the nightclub? If you do, then perhaps there is a bug somewhere. Alternatively, if you would like to write a description of the path you follow through the book I can tell you where you are going wrong. At this point you might be thinking that it would be much easier if I was to just give out a walkthrough. But I am philosophically and morally opposed to giving out walkthroughs.

Yep, I've test played it multiple ways and the only way I burn up in the final corridor is if I don't have the command code.

the gourd, which you get in a pit near the Guard room, by running down a passage away from the guard. Take this gourd to the hag, who will identify it for you, and use it as soon as you enter the big room, before you fight the adventurer.

I talk to the computer, learning the level I am on. Then I head for the command deck, stopping in the medic's area along the way. I ignore the Observation dome, get my and Gary's IDs, show the guards Gary's ID, return to the bridge, get environmental control, fight the soldier, run along the corridor, turn right for a power pack. Deactivate the parent-bot, get on her ship, with still at least 10 minutes to go and still I DIE of cremation.

Yep, tried using Gary's manual on the parent-bot and nothing happened
