 FINDING THE 12 PODS TO COMPLETE THE GAME
 ÿ
      In the story, Andrew Mason ( Micah's father ) launched 12
 pods containing his latest scientific creations ( many of them
 for Micah ) in random directions in the Pseudo Galaxy.
      These pods contain many items to help complete Micah's
 cybergenic construction and to complete the ship.  
 ÿ
      HINT -    Don't spend your time looking for the 12th pod, it
                is a "red herring".  It doesn't exist... yet...
 ÿ
      Some pods can be acquired early by exploring the worlds
 instead of immediately finding the Boss.  The bosses, however,
 always give Micah the pods he needs to continue.
 ÿ
 "EASTER EGGS"
 ÿ
      ANTRYMITE You may find it difficult to climb to the boss... 
                Go to the bottom most left corner of the world  
                (it's a bit of a walk ) and find a pod containing
                your JETS.  Use the jets (by pressing [/]) along
                with the tab key to reach him.
 ÿ
      PROTITE   Go all the way left in this world to find a pod
                containing Bombs.  Use these bombs (by pressing 
                [-]) to kill the "Whirling Dervish".
                If you kill the "Dervish", his gift will appear
                only for a few seconds then disappear.  The gift
                will continue the "Dervish" pattern invisibly.  If
                you do not let him escape the scene, and do not
                pick up the gift, the rain will become whatever
                his gift is...  Each drop of rain will fill Micah
                with whatever gift it is...  It is possible to    
                fill all of Micah's weapons by killing one
                character.
 ÿ
      CHRYSTILLIA    When you destroy "Flathead", he will leave a
                     gift.  If you don't take it, it will explode
                     into another gift in a few seconds.  By doing
                     this, you can get anything you want by
                     waiting.
 ÿ
                     When "Gloop" shoots at you, if you use SALT
                     to destroy the glob of lava, it becomes a
                     gift.  For a random period of time after
                     this, each shot he shoots will still be a
                     gift although it looks like lava.
 ÿ
                     The boss in this world is "Witness".  If you
                     walk up to his pedestal & press [F5] to talk,
                     he will give up some important information.
 ÿ
                     Keep talking to "Witness" until he won't     
                     answer any more.
 ÿ
                     If you fire at him, he will spit fire at you!
                     This fire relieves you of your life by 1
                     quarter.  If you touch "Witness", you die
                     instantly...
