	Many of the doors blocking where you want to go and things you want to learn about or obtain on Raana are locked, and openable via electronic codes enterable through a keypad - generally of four digits. If you haven't found the code somewhere, you may be able to obtain it via Hacking. You can try to crack one digit at a time. You can have multiple attempts at each digit. Each attempt takes 6 minutes and has a 50% chance of costing a [[The Player#Stamina, and Stamina Points\|Stamina]] point. Each door has a '''Difficulty''' rating (1-7); the higher, the harder. It is possible to crack locks rated more difficult than your current modified ability level - it just takes longer... maybe much longer. You cannot attempt Hacking ~~one~~ your Stamina points fall to 3 or less.
