-----------
  * It is probably a good idea to save every now and then.  Especially save
    before timing-related items, like entering the computer and making the
    dash through the bio-lab.  Also save after successfully exiting the
    escape pod and entering the complex.

  * Note that you will get tired each day at about 8000 GST or so.  The
    only safe place to sleep is in the bunks.  Be sure to leave enough time
    to get back there to sleep, or you'll fall asleep where you stand.

  * You don't have to eat right when you get hungry; if you wait you can
    stretch out your food supply enough so you don't have to keep going
    back to the kitchen.
