\"\"Player Advisory<\/strong>: \u201cDry Dock\u201d is a high intensity interactive experience featuring some smoke, h<\/i>eat, fire and other unsettling and surprising atmospheric effects. Therefore, this game is recommended for advanced players only.<\/i><\/p>\n

Scenario<\/b>: You are \u2013 once again \u2013 a worker on a cruise ship. Your floating home is currently\u2026not floating. For your first level you must get yourself and your gear from the small local airport to the ship you are staying at. Be aware that there are surprises in most levels. Good luck player!<\/p>\n

Day One Objective<\/strong>: Board your vessel, stow your gear, and find your proper assigned sleeping place.<\/p>\n

In order to achieve this objective you must first actually reach<\/em> the first stage of the level, which requires you to go through the \u201ctravel tutorial\u201d. To this end you have two options:<\/p>\n

Option 1<\/strong>: Assigned travel path<\/strong>
\n(available perks with this option: <\/em><\/strong>refreshing hotel stay with unlocks multiple power ups including \u2018breakfast\u2019 for extra hit points before beginning proper level)<\/em><\/p>\n

Oops looks like this option has been mishandled by a bad airline. This voids all perks and power-ups and leaves you with<\/p>\n

Option 2:<\/strong> Alternate emergency travel path
\n<\/strong>(This option will get you to the vessel, but will cost an extreme amount of in-game currency in order to reach the journey\u2019s start point. It also comes with only one \u2018pizza\u2019 power-up applied 8 hours before task start, it also comes with a low level \u2018sleep\u2019 perk \u2013 use it wisely<\/em>)<\/p>\n

Upon completion of this option you will be at the airport cut scene \u2013 if at all possible grab a \u2018coffee\u2019 power-up to get you through the rest of the day. Once you land successfully at the other end of your journey you must secure transportation to your (possible) final destination. However, before you can secure entrance to that bonus material you must work through several obstacles:<\/p>\n

#1<\/strong> \u2013 Local immigration<\/strong>: if you have the \u2018prior warning\u2019 perk you already have the necessary paperwork ready to bypass or successfully clear the stat check by the customs agent NPC. Those players who are not equipped with such perks will lose approximately a half hour of play time to this intricate mini-game.<\/p>\n

#2<\/strong> \u2013 Baggage inspection<\/strong>: if you have your \u2018trustworthy\u2019 or \u2018charisma\u2019 stats high enough then you will easily be able to pass this mini-game. Those without the necessary stats to pass the check will have to complete the rest of the mini-game. If the player has selected \u201cmusician\u201d sub-type as their avatar there will be no way to bypass this particular mini-game as your avatar will trigger the \u201csuspicion\u201d reaction in the relevant NPC.<\/p>\n

#3 \u2013 \u2018Handsome\u2019 Taxi Drivers<\/strong>: this only applies if the player possesses a female avatar, as long as your \u201cself-esteem\u201d stat is high enough you should be able to dodge the sales pitches and compliments.<\/p>\n

Upon successfully completing the last obstacle you will be automatically transported via the \u201cport agent\u201d cut-scene to the entrance to the docks. At this point it is important to have your \u201cstamina\u201d \u00a0at it\u2019s highest (which will be difficult given the lack of perks earlier in the level). You will be able to see<\/em> your destination almost immediately, but getting<\/em> there will require yet another series of mini-games:<\/p>\n

#1 \u2013 Port Security<\/strong>: This one will be easy to get by if you have a female avatar, however, you will still be required to present your in-game documentation and your playing authorization papers.<\/p>\n

#2 \u2013 the Boardi<\/b>ng Ramp<\/b>: in order to even reach this particular mini-game you must carry your +40lbs of luggage (you will be over-encumbered and therefore unable to run) through the working shipyard, dodging people, cranes and the occasional fork-lift. Once that path is complete you will presented with a gangway, but not just any gangway \u2013 this is the major challenge of this level \u2013 a gangway that is 111 steps, nearly straight up, which you must navigate yourself, with a 40lbs weight punishment, in tropical heat. Warning: this task will be particularly difficult to complete if you \u2018high temperatures\u2019 is listed as one of your weakness.<\/p>\n

#2a<\/strong> \u2013 Companion care<\/strong>: if you are a senior player, you will automatically assume the \u2018mother hen\u2019 perk, which will cause you to be the default player to complete the gangway task first, while leaving your \u2018charges\u2019 to await your return with possible assistance. Bear in mind, you will have no ID, no documentation proving that you are allowed to be where you are, no real idea where you are going. This side quest is not recommended for junior players.<\/p>\n

#3<\/strong> \u2013 ID procurement<\/strong>: This task is mostly run by the Crew Officer NPC, however it will require several trips in between floors to be rid of your luggage, and ultimately will result in you being assigned an \u2018official ID\u2019 perk which \u2013 in theory \u2013 will allow you to freely move around the remainder of the play area for the rest of the game.<\/p>\n

#4 \u2013 Sleeping accommodations<\/strong>: this is the last mini-game of this level. Due to the fact that the world structure of where your actual ship is not prepared for your arrival, so you will have to move your possessions (those that you still have access to) to another nearby play area. Note: the sleeping accommodations provided are not guaranteed any comfort perks other than \u2018bed\u2019 and possibly<\/em> \u2018tv\u2019. It does however come with access to \u201cdinner\u201d power-up.<\/p>\n

This completes Level (day) one: The Arrival.<\/p>\n

Good luck with Level 2 player! Remember, level starts first thing next morning<\/p>\n
