Level 3 - Maintenance
Citadel's gray-and-yellow repair level, where the Hacker has to find and fix the relay that blocks the grove jettison.
Level 3 - Maintenance houses the Department of Maintenance of Citadel Station in System Shock (1994). Its facilities can repair an extremely wide variety of station hardware, numerous control, routing and access relays run through it, and certain robots recharge here between task assignments.

Background
The level has a distinctive gray-and-yellow color scheme and is dimly lit or dark in places. Its four wings stay closed unless maintenance is needed, and open when the Hacker disables the jettison safety interlocks for the groves and throws the malfunctioning master jettison enable control. On that second visit the Hacker uses the diagnostic receptacle and relay analyzer to find the broken relay and repairs Relay 428 with an Interface Demodulator. Abe Ghiran's office, opened with his severed head, holds an Enviro-suit; the TS-04 Laser Rapier is first found here, and destroying the level's computer node yields a piece of the reactor self-destruct code. Of its two recharge stations, one has sparking wires overhead and damages the Hacker. A relay panel called 'Soylant Green Filtration' nods to the film Soylent Green.
