Changing room

Since Alice is a fan of Orwell, it's reasonable to guess that 1984, the name of his best-known novel, would be her passcode.

> look in middle. take all from it.

> x keycard. x memory. x banana. eat it.

> read paper. x socks.

> unlock door with keycard.

Inventory

• a gray jumpsuit. You're wearing it.
• Leave it on. You can remove it, but there's no reason to.
• a lighter. It's in the desk drawer in your living unit.
• It's out of fuel and useless to you.
• a toothpaste, a toothbrush, and a dental floss. They're all in the locker in your bathroom.
• Only the floss is useful. In the operating room, fix the connector with the floss (or with the tape).
• You cannot clean your teeth with any of these items.
• a long strip of tape. Acquire it in the square room by taking the safety tape from the western doorway.
• Note: If you pull the tape from the door, the strip is on the floor with the mess.
• In the operating room, fix the connector with the tape (or with the dental floss).
• a lab coat. This is the bloody cloth in the changing room's dumpster.
• Examine the cloth to see it's a coat. Search the coat to find a tubular key.
• a tubular key. Find it by searching the lab coat.
• The key unlocks the armored door in the square room.
• a keycard, a memory card, a banana, a sheet of paper, and a pair of socks. They're all in the middle locker in the changing room; type 1984 on the keypad to open it. This is clued by what the robot says when you ask it about Alice.
• Only the keycard is useful. Unlock the elevator doors with the keycard.
• Feel free to eat the banana.
• There is no explanation for the gibberish on the paper.
• You can't wear the socks; they're not your size.
