Yeah. That messed me up also. I don't know what to do with the reactor, but
if you want to get through the airlock, make sure you close the door you
previously went through! I believe you can only open the top drawer on the
dressers, but can open all the drawers in desks. You've GOT to get outside
so you can find the colony. It gets alot more interesting then.

Oh, also, there's a Colony editor available through anonymous ftp at
sumex-aim.stanford.edu. You can crank up all your stats this way...
