To complete Day Eight, “A Message from the Dead,” follow these steps in the order in which they are listed.


 * 1) Tex listens to the message from Archie Ellis (if he’s still alive)!
 * 2) Turn on the vid phone, and listen to the message from Lucia Pernell.
 * 3) Call Lucia Pernell: END CONVERSATION and EXIT.
 * 4) GET the fax she just sent you.
 * 5) Go to Tex’s Computer Room and USE Malloy’s disc on the laptop PC.
 * 6) Type MERGE THE FOUR RARE CASES TO SEE MAPS and press ENTER.
 * 7) Read all of the text that appears. You now have the elusive (and reclusive) Elijah Witt’s vid phone number!
 * 8) TRAVEL to the Electronics Shop.
 * 9) On the counter to your right, there is a Robco Call Tracer (that was not there before).
 * 10) Buy the Robco Call Tracer, and then END CONVERSATION.
 * 11) Go back to Tex’s Office and USE the Robco Call Tracer on the vid phone.
 * 12) Call Elijah Witt. Keep him on the phone long enough to get a trace using the following conversation path: B, A, B, C, C, C, C, C. Then EXIT.
 * 13) Save the game. TRAVEL to Elijah Witt’s apartment using the North America map. An alarm activates as soon as you enter his apartment.
 * 14) Go to the far left corner of the apartment, and MOVE the yellow switch behind the potted plant.
 * 15) Turn around and cross the room.
 * 16) Locate the masks that are hanging in the corner between the two doors.
 * 17) MOVE the top mask, then MOVE the purple switch that has been revealed.
 * 18) Stand on the elevator that takes you upstairs, MOVE the plant on the dresser to your right, and then MOVE the blue switch.
 * 19) Go back downstairs, GET a bamboo pole from the pot next to the fireplace, and USE the pole to MOVE the red switch that is high up on the wall to the left of the fireplace.

The alarm is now disabled!

  Go back upstairs and GET the note from the bed.   OPEN the bottom drawer of the dresser to the right and GET the scrapbook.   EXAMINE the scrapbook to reveal a photo of a statue similar to the one standing in the corner of the apartment. Note the number sequence on the back of the photo.   USE the bamboo pole to GET the plaque that is hanging high on the wall beyond the railing.   GET the tweezers from the dresser to the left of the bed, and then go back downstairs.
