Get files for Santiago, Sharpei, Beleauxs. Dr B's file has additional cross-reference to Project "Immortality". Get file (under P). (See cross-reference -- end game maybe joke).
If you try to leave the office you will lose the files so you need to print them first. Use files on printer. Outside the office take plank. Exit cyberspace and take printouts. Use printouts on Dr. B. Watch cut sequence.
Wear your EVA suit and take helmet. Exit shuttle. Take blood capillaries from shuttle's engine intake, take alveoli from front of shuttle. Go down the ulcer. Take feather and tablet. Take staple and celery string from stomach lining. In inventory, combine staple with string to make grappling hook. Drop candy in acid, drop remaining tablets in one at a time.

Put on your suit and exit. Use finger nail to cut your way to the "grey matter". Go left and click "feet" on opposite side of gap to jump across.
When you jump across, keep clicking "feet" to the far left of screen until you scramble up. At robots, go to back of screen and throw gallstones at each of them in turn. Use elevator to go down. There is a blockage here that you can't move. Go back on elevator to Stellar's cough center. Use paper clip piece to get cough reaction. Back down and the blockage has moved. Go through opening. After talk sequence use paper clip on nerve endings, use fish on Sharpei. Watch end sequence.
