Secrets

1. When you go through the north wall at the start, head west and through a wall at the health bonus, getting another one along with shotgun shells. (sector 52)
2. At the broken bridge, run southeast into the void and behind the wall. Go through it to get health bonuses, energy cells, and a plasma gun. (sector 163)
3. At the broken bridge, head to the northwest and jump that way to get a soul sphere. (sector 168)
