In the main mission “One Fell Swoop”, you will discover that Bulkheads are modified in the Synthetic Nave facility, and Zadra gives you the task to Sabotage Sol’s production line. Inside the room where the Bulkhead gets modified in front of your eyes, the story wants you to go through the door right next to the modification console. Take your time, stay in this big hall, and go through the door at the other end instead. There is a staircase leading up to a small control room with this ECHO Log. There is also a bobblehead collectible on top of the lockers.

It all began in the ’80s when I was just 7 years old. Starting with basic arcade games, I soon delved into titles like Loom and Monkey Island by Lucasarts. Throughout the years, as I indulged in more and more games, I consistently sought clear guides to swiftly navigate my gameplay. Now, it’s my turn to contribute back to the community.
