Eggs Beginners Guide To SS13 Do you want to play SS13? Do you like learning how to do things by YOURSELF? Do you want to stumble around the mess of controls for a month like everyone else? Then get lost! This guide is for WINNERS, protect yourself from LOSERS with my beginner’s guide to becoming robust, learning how to do your job and what the fuck is going on! Though, firstly, I would recommend at least skimming over the official wiki guide for new players, as it covers some things that I have left out, such as installation and rules. As this guide largely focuses on how to grow your knowledge from a near bare beginner, to a semi capable crew member This guide roughly covers; • The default HUD + Usage of its features • The usage of the chat, radio and commands • Character creation • Commonly used hotkeys/shortcuts + general knowledge • Advice for beginner jobs • Fairly in depth Medical guide • Combat + General robustness • Basic Greytiding knowledge Before you begin Some general advice to save you from getting banned or pissed off • Don’t be afraid to A-help, Admins are there for a reason, if you think you were killed by a non-antag, don’t be afraid to a-help it. • Read the rules, specifically the no sexual references and anti-slur stuff. The admins are strict on this and it’s good to play it safe. • If you get messaged by an admin, do what they say, arguing with them is a sure-fire way to get booted. They have logs of fucking everything, lying is useless • Go easy with the violence if you aren’t an antag, best thing to do until you get a handle on what’s acceptable, is just run away and cry to security. Don’t protect your department like it’s your baby Oh, and as much as I preach power gaming and “winning” Don’t, just enjoy the game and play it in a way you find fun. The main purpose of this guide is to get people over the massive learning curve new players face. Use the tools in this guide to keep having fun and to robust the nerds who try to beat you for it. The Mess Of A HUD And A Breakdown Of Its Parts Don’t be intimidated by the wall of text under each of these, I really explain them to their fullest. You should be able to gather what they do from the first sentence or so. The Hotbar Used for just about everything, from storing things and wearing clothes, to advanced item manipulation The Hands Used for holding things, Duh. You can quickly switch between your two hands quickly by pressing E Throwing/Dropping You should never need to touch this. As you can drop items with Q and throw things by holding down Limb Targeting SPACE and clicking on a faraway A largely unused feature in everyday play, only really tile. being used in medical procedures and while using weapons such as the katana to cleave off specific limbs. You can also catch thrown items by Though it may not serve many uses in everyday play, it holding down Space or having the can help to do some extra damage by targeting less armoured parts of a victim. throw button down. You can target different limbs by either clicking on You’ll need to do this in order to different parts of the icon, or pressing 5-0 on your have grenades not blow up in your keyboard. face Storage Slots Your belt slot, backpack slot, and 2 pockets. Your pockets can hold small and tiny items, useful for carrying your cash around or storing your O2 tank Your backpack can hold just about everything, and can be opened by clicking on it. Your belt, if you manage to find one. Effectively acts as an extra set of around 8 pockets, holding small items. Great for holding a bunch of tools. You can pull your belt or backpack into your hands by click-dragging it into your hand slot. The Intents The difference between you patting someone on the head or punching them in the face. Intents are arguably one of the most important parts of understanding SS13. Each hand icon represents a different intent, those being Help The least feature intensive intent, used mostly for shaking people and putting out flaming crewmates Disarm A great tool for in fights, used to knock weapons out of people’s hands, and to knock them over. You can also push someone out of the way if you click on a faraway tile with someone ahead of you. Grab Grab is the most advanced intent of the 4, having many interactions with the world around you. Grabbing a player once will result in a light grab, acting like a pull. Grabbing them again, results in an aggressive grab, pulling them onto you, from here you have a few options, ranging from slamming people through tables to suplexes, all of which are covered in the combat section Harm Used for punching, stabbing, slashing and every other form of harm you’ll ever need to inflict, although not necessarily needed for most weapons aside from enabling special attacks. Still a good idea to get into habit of switching to it during combat The Other, Less Cool Intents/States Run/Walk lets you switch between running, and walking. Running lets you move faster and look cooler. Whereas walking makes you move slower, but you won’t slip on puddles or set off the security flashers. Pull is used when you want to STOP pulling something, just click on it and you’ll let go. You can also start pulling something with this, but that’s for nerds, and the fact you’re using this guide means you aren’t a nerd. Just use the hotkey for it; ctrl+left click Resist is used to shrug off other people’s grabs, wiggle out of your handcuffs, and stop drop and roll to put out fire. Z also works as a hotkey for this Stand/Laying is used to lay down, laying down lets you crawl under people and some objects, it can also make some projectiles such as tasers fly right over you, matrix style. Abilities/Inv The INV icon is used to hide your clothing tab so it looks all neat, or quickly equip items The Abil button is used to hide/reveal any genetics abilities you may have Clothing Your clothing tab is used to equip different clothes, ID’s, headsets, helmets, glasses and so on, Different items can be added/removed simply by clicking, though you can quickly swap them in by pressing Z The Mask Slot A quick addition to the clothing tab above, the mask slot is used for not only equipping masks, but cigarettes and other items too. Health/Stamina/Temperature/O2 Icons The three icons you will likely look at the most during gameplay and interweaved with most things you do. Health – Measures your overall HP, as you get hurt, you might begin to limp and move slower, or even begin passing out from the pain. This is Mask/Basic O2 Tip covered more in the medical section This icon will be on the top left Stamina – Used largely in combat and movement. Every swing of a of your screen as long as you weapon, tile sprinted or time you are hit will use stamina. The lower are wearing a mask. your stamina the easier it will be for someone to disarm you and knock But an oxygen mask is useless you down, which can easily lead to a cycle of getting pushed down and without a tank to attach it to. beaten. The most commonly used tank Temperature – An indicator of how hot/cold you are. If you’re is an emergency oxygen tank. If freezing, you will gain status effects that slow you down drastically, if you manage to get your grubby scorching hot, well then you’re probably on fire and should put yourself hands on a tank, as long as it is out either in your hands, pockets, belt slot (not in a belt), or on O2 – This icon only shows up if you don’t have any O2 and are your back, you will be able to suffocating. Best put on a mask, or move to somewhere with O2 switch over to breathing through it The Grosser UI To the right of everything you’ll find the gross wall of text that is chat, and console. Chat Despite the appearance seeming overwhelming, you’ll only really be using this to read radio messages, (The messages in green, or really any other colour than white) I’ll briefly cover what the different coloured text in chat means White: Text that has been said by someone whilst on your screen, good for if you missed what they said when the text popped up above them Green: The most common radio type, a standard radio transmission sent by anyone with a headset, even you! To send a radio message, either press Y, and select the general channel. Or press T, and place a; ahead of your message Red/Blue/Pink/Yellow/Some Other Colour: A departmental radio message, good for speaking to other people working your same job without spamming the main radio channel You might also notice that there are small icons next to the name of who sent the radio message, such as this one > < which is the AI’s. This is good for quickly identifying the rank of whoever is speaking and promptly ignoring said rank. NEED SOMETHING HERE A largely un-important part of the HUD, though still used fairly The Console often in play. Mostly used to display information or open the wiki/forums/maps from in game. Switching from the “status” tab onto another can give a minor ping boost too👍 Commands Bug Report Map Info Holds all the funny buttons like “suicide” Not used a heap, but Shows the current, it’s always good to and upcoming map report them The Actual Map Opens the goon hub interactive map of the current map Game mode Shift Time Shows the current Shows the duration of the game mode, usually round, the ETA to shuttle will secret also appear below if it’s called Misc. Links Ping Links to the public GitHub, goon station forums, and Displays your ping to the server. the wiki This sits around 80-100 for the average player, due to the server being in Canada. Though mine sits at 130-160 due to living in kangaroo land. In the tab over from status, used for little interactions. Most aren’t Commands awfully important, but some can be useful for general information. Notes Let’s you see your bank pin Claim Reward and objectives. But most importantly your activation Let’s you collect special code as traitor items/skins for medals you have earned Who/A-Who Pulls a list of all players/admins connected to the server Suicide Let’s you kill yourself!

Stuff You Should Know Before We Move On Security. Pretty much the lowest form of Ranks command, and a bunch of losers with a power Ranks really don’t matter too much, but I’ll fantasy. Probably good to stay out of the way or briefly touch on them. do as they say, as an annoyed loser is a dangerous one Depending on what server you are on you should treat these differently. Captain & HOP. The captain is effectively just a staff assistant with a gun and a shiny ID. They Generally, on GOON 1 & 2, the non-RP servers. have authority over all other departments and You can generally ignore people above you and crew, but are usually promptly ignored. nothing will come of it. The HOP on the other hand is slightly less of a Although on GOON 3 & 4, the RP servers, you nerd, and has power over all departments aside should probably listen to your superiors security HOS. Head of security stink, effectively outranks Other Heads. The RD, CE and MD, head of sci, the captain. Nerd supreme, avoid at all costs, engineering and medical respectively have that’s not a joke, they will mess your shit up. power over their department specifically Robust – Used widely as another word for skilful or In game Slang/Lingo knowledgeable about the game Robusted – Being beaten in a fight by someone skilful Like every niche group, SS13 has a mountain of abbreviations and slang. RD/CE/MD/HOS – Research Director/Chief Engineer/Medical Director/Head Of Security To save you the embarrassment of asking what everything is, I’ve listed most of it here Ling - Changeling (A shapeshifting monster) Nukies – A bunch of nuke wielding spec op’s coming to blow up Spaced – The act of throwing the station. someone/something into the void of space QM – Quarter Master, the guys who run cargo Azone- An “Adventure Zone”, cool custom-made areas kind of like a massive puzzle, with lore and Revs - Revolutionaries trying to kill the heads lots of loot Greytide – In reference to the “Tide/wave” of grey suited staff Maint- The maintenance halls, dimly lit areas assistants that come with exposure to the game, typically after a where clowns huff paint YouTube video and such. Staffie – Staff assistant TTV – Tank Transfer Valve, A type of bomb made in science by a bunch of nerds Singuloose – The black hole in the singularity generator has broken loose and is eating the Power gamer – Someone who is knowledgeable about the station game, and abuses this knowledge to get an unfair advantage Not Getting Banned This is by no means a common issue, but it’s good to know how to talk to admins after killing a small gathering as a non antag. Unless you absolutely did not do it, do not deny it, the admins have logs of everything and this will only get you in the shit Be respectful, this is the person who is deciding whether you get booted. Be nice. Not knowing the rules is not an excuse for breaking them, Seen this a few times. Not a good look Never Ever log off whilst talking to them, this won’t let you avoid talking to them, just get you banned Hotkeys Emotes F = Fart Good for reducing 5 clicks down to 1, and reducing the tedium of everyday tasks R = Flip Ctrl + Q = Wave General Common Use Ctrl + W = Wink F1 = AdminHelp T = Talk Ctrl + E = Raise Eyebrow F3 = MentorHelp Y= Radio Ctrl + A = Salute Space + Click = Throw C = Use Item In hand Ctrl + B = Burp Alt + Click = Examine E= Switch Hand Ctrl + D = Dance Ctrl + Click = Pull Q = Drop Item Ctrl + G = Gasp B + Click = Point Z = Resist Ctrl + H = Raise Hand “-“ = Toggle Walk/Run V = Auto Equip Ctrl + N = Nod “=” = Toggle Lay/Stand Ctrl + S = Scream Ctrl + X = Flex Ctrl + Y = Yawn Ctrl + Z = Snap Fingers M = Custom Emote Pointers For First Time Antagonists I wanted to put this further down in this, but couldn’t find something to fill this space :) Well shit, some big popup appeared on your screen saying you just rolled an antag and you have no idea what to do. Firstly, read the WIKI article on your antag to get an idea of what you do. But just to clarify some things people seem to get confused by; • Antags are immune to the anti-grief rules. That means you can kill and destroy freely, no matter who you kill, you’ll be fine • People are allowed to freely kill you if you are an antag, try not to get too upset about this. But it can definitely be annoying • Don’t rampage as your first antag, I promise you, you will die. If you don’t want to ruin your round, play it a bit safer Your First Job A great starting job is that of the humble janitor, making it your job to mop up the hallways full of blood and organs. Janitor is often seen as the starter job, due to it being easy to do, teaching you many useful hotkeys/game mechanics, and letting you explore the station with no real responsibility. Tools Of The Trade Mop; Used to wipe up puddles of liquids off the floor, or can be wet in a bucket or such I’m All Geared Up, What Now? to clean the floors Clean! That’s what! / Mop Bucket/Bucket; A bucket! For But really, janitor is a good combination of holding water! The mop bucket is just a larger everything you’ll have learnt so far. You’ll need version that can be pulled along with you and to read the radio, use your backpack, use holds much more water than its counterpart. hotkeys, use items on the world around you, These can be filled at sinks, or using other and worst of all, talk to people! How horrifying! containers to move in water Don’t feel too overwhelmed though, nobody is Buff-R-Matic; Your “swag mobile”, think a pro on their first round. It took me 3 rounds to of a ride on lawnmower, but with a mop even realise I had a backpack. Take the game attached to the bottom. It has a tank attached at your own pace, and don’t feel too stressed that can be filled with water, and a toggleable about it all. setting to leave a trail of water to clean as you ride. How do I clean things though? Cleaner Grenade; Your first test of your throwing skills. Creates a foam puddle that Exploded Person; So, someone just burst cleans the room of everything but puddles. open and now there’s a pool of blood and organs all around the room. The first step To activate, either click on it, or press c while would be to mop up the pool of blood to stop holding it. Then, press space and click where people trekking the blood around on the bottom you want to throw it of their shoes, then pick up any organs with Sponge; A less cool mop, though can be either a vacuum or your hands, lastly, use used to clean messes off walls. your mop, a spray bottle, or a sponge to wipe up the dried blood on the floor. Vacuum; A underused, but very helpful Puddle Of Something: Use your mop to wipe tool that can be used to suck up loose items it up. If said puddle is full of something off the floor and into an attached garbage seemingly harmful, it may be wise to wash your bag. Said bag can be attached by holding a mop in your bucket, then empty your bucket trash bag and clicking on the vacuum out, as it’s now full of said chemical. Huge Blood Filled Battleground; Surprisingly Trash Bags; A box full of bags that can easy to handle, mop up any blood pools, hold several loose items. vacuum up any organs/debris, then use a cleaner grenade to clean up all the mess. Medical Systems Medical at a base level is not hard at all (Most of the time), and mostly boils down to filling people with as many relevant drugs as possible. Although severely injured crewmates may require defibrillation, or completely new organs, they may have shrapnel, bullets, or parasitic aliens inside them that need to be removed. In this section I’ll cover a more than the bare basics, and more than enough to become a medical doctor. Your Most Important Tools Medical Scanner; THE most important part of your equipment, used to show what types of damage someone has, what reagents are in them, and any advanced ailments affecting them such as cardiac arrest or nanobotic transformation. Auto Mender; Does 90% of your job for you. Applies medical reagents to a target and automatically stops once they are healed. Refills can be bought at Medivends Defibrillator; Used to start people’s hearts again and even has a chance to cure 60 O2 damage to those in crit Surgery Tools Medical Machines :Scalpel = For Cutting thin Sleeper; Another machine that does tissues your job for you, grabbing someone and putting them in will allow you to hit inject, in fill them with helpful drugs. Or set a timer to allow the sleeper to :Circular Saw = For getting inject automatically over time through pesky bones :Surgical Scissors = For those Cryo Pod; Turning it on, and placing in a real small tubes beaker of cryoxadone will allow you to place people in it, stabilizing those in crit, and healing :Enucleation Spoon = Fancy organs soup spoon for prying out eyes :Suture = For sewing up your Medivend; A vending machine for medical supplies. Pretty straight forward patient so their organs don’t all fall out Operating Table; Patients must be on one :Staple Gun = For holding that of these in order to have surgery performed upon brand-new organs in place while you them sew them up. Morgue Unit; Never really used but prevents corpses for rotting. Good for if there’s a big line for cloning Cloning Cloning consists of four different machines, the scanner , the console , the reclaimer , and the cloning pod . Step 1. Place the corpse/willing crewmate into the scanner and hit the scan button on the console Step 2. Hit the clone button next to the name of the corpse on the console, if it was a living person then there is no need for this until they die Step 3. Place the corpse into the reclaimer to strip the body of usable biomatter for future clones Hobo Healing You won’t always be able to make it to medbay after severe injuries, so you’ll need to resort to hobo medical in order to stabilize yourself. So, here’s a short list of how to get your body back together all by yourself Bleeding; Welding tools and lighters can be used to cauterize your wounds on the go, at the cost of some burn damage. Bedsheets can also be ripped up and used as bandages, this is preferable as you won’t take any damage. Bar Patches; Near the bar on most maps you can find some burn and brute patches, that can heal you up good. Minimeds, small public medical vendors also sit around security, medical and the bar. Defib; Multitools special attack, shocked doors and getting beat with the stunning end of a baton can give you the defibrillation effect, and get your heart going again Food; Eating food can heal you if you’re above something like 60% health, and something like 20% if you have the survivalist trait. Though keep an eye out for the holy grail of hobo healing, Donk pockets, they generally come in a box and can be found around some crew quarters, in fridges and at the radio station. Upon being heated in an oven or microwave, they become filled with a great healing chem. Soda; Many of the soda’s in game contain drugs, It’s probably legal. Robust-Eez has meth, which is a great stamina booster and stun reducer DR. Pubbers has Morphine and Haloperidol, good pain blockers that will remove the slow-down from being hurt Lime-Aid contains antihol, good for purging alcohol from your system Orange-Aid contains oculine, repairing damage to your eyes and ears, good for if sec got carried away with the flashes. Cold Beer will heal a good amount of toxin damage too Limb Re-Attachment; After you’ve been caught in a blast, and managed to crawl away with legs in hand you’ll want to reattach them. Using a regular bed, you’ll be able to attach your limb back into its socket and use a regular office stapler to keep it in place. Surgery Probably don’t need to cover this, but always nice to know. :Scalpel = Cut Surgery is mostly used for removal of shrapnel, or replacement of old organs. :Circular Saw = Saw You’ll need to use the limb targeting part of the HUD for this, and organs will be where you expect. Organs in the chest, brain in the head, and arm in the arm. :Surgical Scissors = Snip :Enucleation Spoon = Spoon •Lungs = snip → saw → L/Rsnip •Appendix = snip → snip → snip •Liver = snip → snip → cut :Suture = Suture •Stomach = snip → cut → snip •Intestines = snip → cut → cut :Staple Gun = Staple •Pancreas = cut → snip → snip L/R = Tool In Left/Right Hand •Spleen = cut → snip → cut •Kidneys = cut → cut → L/Rsnip •Heart = cut → saw → cut → saw Surgery Tips •Brain = cut → saw → cut → saw •Eyes = L/R spoon → L/R cut → L/R spoon Improvised Surgery; •Limbs = cut → saw → cut •Tail = saw → cut → saw You can use common utensils as •Butt = Harm intent → cut→ saw→ cut→ saw stand-in for medical equipment •Head = Harm intent→ cut → saw → cut → saw Scalpels= Glass Shards/Knifes Foreign Object Detected (Bullets or Shrapnel) = Saws= Forks/Pizza Cutter Scalpel Chest to remove Eye Spoon= Spoons Foreign Object Below Sternum = Scalpel Chest Grab Intent to remove Surgical Scissors = Attach Item Arm = Remove arm → Click item on Scissors/Wirecutters target → suture Staple Gun= Stapler Insert Chest Item = cut → click item on target → suture Self-Surgery Insert New Organ/Limb/Anything Really = Remove old organ → Click on target with new organ → Suture You can perform perform surgery on yourself, by dragging yourself onto the operating table, then standing up. INSERT SURGERY PIC You can also do surgery standing up if you have 5u of morphine in you, Or are blackout drunk HERE. IMAGINE A FUNNY THING HERE Combat Fighting in ss13 has evolved a lot since it’s conception, it’s no longer; apply toolbox to spaceman, till spaceman is horizontal. Now being chair flip into spaceman, stab with glass shard, suplex them into a glass table and fart on the body. You will lose your first fight, especially against the more robust of the community. But these pointers should give you at least a fighting chance. Intents During Fighting Help – You likely won’t be using much of this, although. If you are with others, you can use help on them to help them up and heavily reduce stuns, roughly 10 seconds per shake. Disarm – For stealing other weapons and pushing people over. Use this at the right time and you can turn a fight around in a second, security isn’t so scary when you have their baton. Grab – God, this has a lot of uses, lots with aggressive grabs, which if you’ve forgotten is when you grab someone a second time, pulling them into your arms. I’ll refer to these as A-grab’s A-grab + R; Suplex, a funny move that will deal some small brute damage, and stun you both. If you get good at it, you can suplex someone, then quickly throw them as well to create some distance A-grab + Table; Table slam, a pretty mediocre move on regular tables, causing some light damage and stun. But on glass tables it has a chance to slam them through the table, dealing massive damage and bleed A-grab + Grab again; Choking, an ok finishing move, takes a moment to get them into, though will deal constant O2 damage and makes it tough for them to escape your grab Grab + Floor; Pin, clicking on an adjacent floor tile will put them into a pin. A very hard position for them to escape, and allows you to continue to beat them without them fighting back. If you get a good pin, then you win A-grab + Space; Throw, for spacing people, or otherwise. It should be noted that you can throw people laying down/stunned with a regular grab. A good combo is disarm + grab + throw into danger, all within that short stun from the disarm Standing above chair + Grab self; Chair flip, grabbing yourself above a chair, or just pressing Z. well make you climb up onto it, and allow you to “chairflip” off it onto someone else. Pretty much just a portable suplex. Good for knocking things out of people’s hands Harm – Not necessarily needed to stab and murder people, but good to get in the habit of switching to it, to use special attacks and not accidently help someone instead of hurting them Basic Tips • Watch your stamina. Don’t sprint in fights unless you need to, and don’t use special attacks with low stamina. • Abuse your enemies’ stamina. Your enemies are dumb and won’t do tip #1, Once you think they are low on stamina, disarm them. You’ll tip them over in one push and be able to pick up the weapon that flew from their hands. • Suplexing is great with teams. Suplexing is a good little move that will stun both you and your target, good for if you’re in a team who can gang up on the stunned target while you’re both stunned. • Walk in bloody areas. Walking will stop you slipping and dropping your things. This is pretty much a must if you are playing Nukies or going on a rampage. • A little prep goes a long way. Flashes and 22.mm ammo can be acquired from hacked fabricators, and flamers, zip guns and other weapons can be hand crafted. You can find instructions on construction here • The boxing ring. The edges of the boxing rings act like chairs that you can chair flip off. Just clickdrag yourself onto the corner of the ring • Become a junkie. Drugs will massively increase your combat ability. Meth is a solid pick due to the increased stamina regen and decreased stuns. • Resist Grabs. If someone grabs you, something painful is likely soon to follow. You can struggle out of their grip by pressing Z, though it may take a few tries • Observe your surroundings. Like in real life, the world around you can be used to great effect. Look for tables, chairs, weapons, plates, anything that you can use to clown on others • Throw people into vending machines. From chance to have them collapse on your victim, dealing some damage and 30 seconds stun Speaking of, lets observe! Chairs for suplexing Disposal chute for a quick getaway Airlocks for spacing Toolbox as a weapon Glass shards from broken tables. Glass tables for slamming Vending machine to stun with Some More Things You Might Want To Know Secure Safe Hacking In your time spent exploring space, you might encounter a secure safe . Lots of goodies are often in these, from guns and cash, to gold and skulls. Let’s break in! To crack a safe, we first need to understand how they work. Each safe has a randomly generated 4-digit pin, consisting of a combination of numbers from 1-9 and letters A-E. So, let’s go ahead and click on the safe to bring up its menu, then enter 1234 into the safe... Did you hear a beep? If so, read chat and note if the chat says the safe made a beep or a boop. A beep means that a digit is in the correct place, a boop means that a correct digit was used, but not in the correct place. If you got multiple beeps/boops it means multiple digits are correct Now we just need to use deduction. My tactic for doing this is finding a number that does not cause a boop (this means it’s not used in the passcode), Let’s use 0 as an example and using it to find what numbers are used in the code. I would go 1000 and see if I get a boop, if not, then I move on to 2000 and so on. Once I find one which causes a boop, then moving it along the password until it beeps instead of boops, such as having 4000 making a boop then moving it down to 0400>0040>0004 until it beeps. Upon finding all 4 digits and their position, the safe will unlock. To actually open the safe, click- drag it onto you. Door Hacking So, the AI has gone rouge and is bolting all the doors shut whilst filling the Tools station with flammable gasses, or perhaps you want to bust into somewhere you’re not meant to. If only there was a way to get through those pesky doors. That’s why we have hacking! Screwdriver The first step to breaking into a door is to get a hold of a screwdriver and use it to unscrew the maintenance panel on the door. After which you’ll be Multitool presented with a list of wires, it’s important to understand that what the wires do are randomised every round. So, there is some trial and error Wire cutters finding the correct wire at first. Our goal is to use a multitool to find out what the wires do, and then Crowbar pulse/cut the correct ones.
