Deck 2 Crew's Quarters Access Card (crew card).Science Sector Access Card (science card).Cryogenics Sector Access Card (cryo card).The names in the brackets are their summon codes. There are 16 Access Cards used in the game. However, they are designed with a triple encrypted fractal data string - the cards mutate in synch with each other over 50,000 times a second, making them nearly impossible to counterfeit. Used by dragging through a card slot reader, these cards appear deceptively low-tech. The Access Cards are needed as a consequence of a state of martial law declared by Sergeant Melanie Bronson, which led to all primary sub-sectors of the ship locked down. Most Access Cards are found on the corpses of dead crew members, but some Cards are lying on the ground and in niches or found among the contents of various desks. There are several Access Cards of different types scattered throughout the Von Braunand UNN Rickenbacker that are needed to open locked doors. They are used to gain admission to certain areas and systems that are otherwise inacessible. Access Cards are key items in System Shock 2.
