Scientific Methods Detailed Walkthrough

	Objectives
1	Investigate the Emergency Room. When you arrive in the Emergency Room, interact with one of the beds and a hologram recording of Nicole will play out.
2	Follow Nicole's Hologram. Nicole's hologram will seem to disappear into a wall in the ER. Grab the Power Cell and reroute power to the Shower Rooms to reveal the door. Use Kinesis to open the door and find Nicole's Audio Log inside.
3	Find the Autopsy Location in Engineering. The autopsy location will be in the Calibration Room in the Machine Shop. From the Security Station in Engineering, go to the Prep Room and down to the Machine Shop. Then when facing the door to the Refueling Stations, go in the direction to your right and find the Calibration Room just by the Bench.
4	Find Kyne's Hideout in Mining Deck. Reach Deck D - Maintenance in the Mining Deck. Go to Secure Storage. Reach for the Circuit Breaker at the end of the hall. Reroute power to Storage 02 to reveal Kyne's Hideout. Interact with the audio log in the room to continue.
5	Investigate Mercer's Quarters. This objective will be locked until you reach Chapter 10 and have access to the Crew Deck. Once you have the Crew Deck Key, you will now be able to reach Mercer's Quarters. From the Crew Deck Tram Station, head straight to the Crew Deck and down to the Common Area. Go to the Zero-G Gym and get the Power Cell from inside the Zero-G Basketball Room. Power Up the Elevator and Crew Deck Key from the corpses at the far side of the room. Once you have the card, go back to the Common Area and take the elevator to the Central Nexus Floor 1. After the confrontation with Mercer and Temple, escape the Hunter and follow the chapter objectives until it prompts you to go to the Deluxe Quarters. Once there, go inside the Guest Quarters. Once you finish the recording of Isaac and Nicole speaking to each other, go the adjacent room and interact with the terminal.
