Help -Security Complex Pyramid & Security Pass

I have entered the Security Pyramid in the Security Complex but I am unable
to move through the security door.

I get the message "YOU NEED THE SECURITY PASS"

Great, but I have not been able to find the security pass.  There is only
two secrets I haven't found on the entire unit (all levels) so I assume it
must be one of the secrets.

Help!!!  I am reduced to aimless wandering!

Well, it tells you that the security pass is in the torture chambers when you
try to go through the door. Maybe you should go there.

Still can't find the Security Pass.  I also haven't been getting the message
that it's in the torture chambers when at the security door in the
pyramid...but I may have gotten it my first time at the pyramid.  My Torture
Chamber stats (F1) are Kills 33/33; Goals 2/2 and Secrets are 2/3 so the
"security pass" must be a secret area that I have been unable to find.
Think I've developed a "blind spot" for this secret.  If you know where but
don't want to shout it here in the forum for all to see - send me mail -
this running empty halls is getting tired real fast.

Thanks FF
Mitch

In that level their are entrances to two other levels. One level gives you
the paramid key and the other (tortre chambers) gives you a security pass to
walk through the forcefield and meet a nasty surprise.

Wel it sounds like you should have found it but....in one of the
cells, there is a grid on the floor, shoot it and you drop down into a
an area with a Mutant.  Kill him and I think the next room you come to
is one with two monsters and a guy on a cross, They will squash the
guy on the cross, and when he dies he SHOULD drop a secuity pass which
will open the forcefield.

hope this helps.

I had to start over from a previous unit save and then work my way up again.
I definitely was by the water torture many times on my first game and there
was no Security Pass available.  The second game had the Security Pass right
where it should be.

Had to be a damn bug...what a time waster.

Thanks to everyone that was kind enough to reply.

Mitch

Looks like you and me both - I have been searching for ages and have found 1
out of the 2 for this unit.
The onboard computer has also told me that I have completed all 3 phases and
to proceed to the pyramid room and then face the same dilemma as yourself.

Please, has anyone a solution ?

Pat

<about the security pass needed to go through the security door>
This one took me a while to figure out.  The security card is in the torture
chamber just after you exit the water.  Ya know, the room with the cross
shape that kills that guy hanging on the cross shape.  You have to save him
and the card will appear to his left. sigh.....

You don't need to save him. Just kill everything and get the key.

It seems to be a hobby of sorts. I am one guilty of indulging in the nostalgia of USEnet. Though the frequency of these types of posts is peculiar... recently an 18 year old thread on alt.games.mk was bumped with a couple of vague references to.. something only loosely connected to the original post. It's like some of that spam babble you see sometimes but you can't tell since it's referencing ideas and words in the original but doesn't really make any sense.

As an aside, the mission log you see on pressing F1 describes it as a 
"pyarmid"; one of Q2's few typos. ;)
