Secrets

1. The blue key room counts as a secret and is impossible to miss. (sector 44)
2. The inside of the south-westernmost building (the one directly ahead after going through the initial teleporter) has a secret door on its west wall leading to a medikit, a chaingun, and two boxes of bullets. (sector 74)
