OK I am stuck again.
1)I can't seem to get anywhere in the mines where it describes them as being colored (I read something in the posts about black, red, etc.), but I have been everywhere I can go down there and have mapped it out. And most of all my mouse is smoking from digging and redigging everywhere.

1a) I think I have all the barriers open but I have to jump from the cart down to the pool/natural cavern area and at the chasm/cliff so I don't die. I have searched near the streams and have talked to e1. (already got the wheel and the drill bit done). Some times it wont let me through because of the space being too small and/or dark.

2) I got the engineer to believe me but I don't know how to find a way out for us.

3) I can't get the last tube from the ceiling near my room.

4) I can't get Vera out of her room.

5) I can't do anything with the HEEC because I don't know the controls.

6) I can't get into any lockers near the docking bay with my 50 or so keys.

7) The only other person (besides the engineer) that asked me to do anything was the boy and I haven't found anything or any way to get the soda out of the bin.

Please help...anyone?
