Hospital (also known as Medical) is Level 1 of Citadel Station and the first to be explored by the Hacker in System Shock.

Overview

This level contains a highly advanced neurosurgery ward (Healing Suite) with a functional automatic Surgery Machine. Medical areas on the Station are easily identified by their blue/green walls and advanced treatment facilities. Six months after their Neuro-Implant surgery, the Hacker awoke here within the Healing Suite.

This level is separated into four quadrants:

• Alpha is home to the Station's main cyborg production facility. A red catwalk leads to an area where SHODAN constructed a conversion site to transform the human survivors into cyborgs.
• Beta is largely offices and labs. Nathan D'Arcy's lab office (containing an important Audio Log and his Personal Access Card) is located there.
• Gamma contains an emergency armory and maintenance areas.
• Delta contains several multi-purpose rooms, one with a Cyberspace Terminal,
  and can be reached by an Elevator off the hub.

Objectives

• Visit Nathan D'Arcy's office to get a lead on what to do about the laser (optional)
• Destroy security cameras to reduce the level's security down low enough to unlock the door to the computer nodes.
• Destroy the security nodes on the level to unlock the elevator to Research as well as unlock part of the Reactor Self-Destruct code.

Enemies

• Cyborg Assassin (7)
• Cyborg Drone (26)
• Cyborg Warrior (1)

Trivia

• Level 1's name is Hospital. The alternative Medical name is used very rarely in the game scripts and the manual.
