    <i>As you are all walking down the corridor, the air is filled with a loud beeping noise before the shocker grenade goes of in your dorm, the walls are instantly blown and the cieling falls in, looks like the attacker wanted to stun then kill you. A marine stops by saying you can stay in the libary and food shall be delivered to you before heading of to the accident site. Prehaps you could find a computer there to find out who the attacker was.</i>

    <span style='color:blue'>*scratches head*

    "there's not enough information. I know which two to shut down last, and i know which one not to shut down first, but that still leaves two that could be shut down first, three that could be shut down second and two that could be shut down third..."

    *picks up note*

    "lets see if this has any more information"</span>

    <b>Thank you, 343, for giving me a puzzle that is impossible to solve.

    By telling me the position of two of the shut-downs, you effectively reduced it to a three way puzzle, about which, all I know is that A must be shut down before B, with no knowledge of C. The means that either A or C could be first, any one of them could be second, and B and C that could be shut down last. The puzzle is insolvable without further information

    so there</b>

    From what i can gather, it should go in this order:


    Self repair unit.
    Back up units.
    Defence matrix
    Nano defense System.
    Power Core

    Because there would be no need for back up units if it can self repair ¬_¬

    <span style='color:blue'>"if the main systems are taken off line before the back-up systems, then, the back up systems will probably lock down the system even harder. Therefore, it makes sense to take the Back up units off line first, leaving the Defense Matrix and the Self repair unit second and third, although, I can't for the life of me work out which."

    <span style='color:orange'>"I'm feeling a little stumped about it too"
    "We pretty much know the order of everything but the repair system.
    But I'm with you that back ups should be taken down first to prevent whatever we shutdown from simply being replaced by a secondary system."
    "An educated guess is that repair would come next, but really, I see no reason it can't come after defense, nothing is getting damaged, only shut down. Of course, defense might take two systems shutting down as an attack and activate."
    "So we're stuck between two choices:
    Back up
    repair
    defense
    nano
    core

    and

    Back up
    defense
    repair
    nano
    core

    Well we know it goes in this order:
    1)Backup or Self repair.
    2)Self repair or defense *Note Defense must come after Self repair no matter what, so you cant have a space between Defense or Repair.*
    3) Defense or backup depending what you choose first
    4)Nano
    5)Core

    Think about, when someone hacks your files, you usually have a back up ready to restore them, if they get that to, then you start repairing it.
