Quake II/Detention Center

Level objective
The objective for this level is to locate the Red Key Card in the Security Complex.

Beware of numerous Strogg Medics in this level, as they go around reviving dead enemies. You don't know where they'll show up, so it may be best to go a little slower and pulverize the corpses of Strogg enemies with your Blaster before moving on, so the Medics have nothing on which to work. It's particularly troublesome when they revive a tough opponent that cost you a Quad Damage, an Invulnerability or significant armor and ammo to take down.

Secrets
This level has two (2) secrets:
 * 1) This secret is found in the south cell block, the one that can be entered from the courtyard around (-370, 380, 30) without the Red Key.  Standing at the top of the stairs on the mezzanine level above the cell block (-1430, 830, 190), face north and shoot the pulsating wall button.  This causes the stairs to rise.  Jump off the mezzanine to the cell block floor, run around to the lower end of the stairs to find a revealed space containing armor.  A button inside will raise the stairs should you become trapped in the space.
 * 2) Gaining access to the first secret requires pushing wall buttons in a tricky sequence.  Once you've cleared out the enemy in the south cell block, the one that can be entered from the courtyard around (-370, 380, 30) without the Red Key, start by pushing the wall button at (-2300, 320, 46).  Run around to the opposite end of the enclosure and push the button to the left of the barred door, lowering it.  Run into the opening, pivot left and push the button you find on the wall, just to the right of the door as you face back toward the entrance.  Run back out, turn right and run to the west wall of the enclosure to find the previously closed barred door lowered.  In the center of the enclosure, down a ramp, you will find a number of health and armament items.  If you take too long, the inner bars will close, trapping you inside, but there is a button in the northeast corner that retracts them, allowing you to exit.  Check out the area just to the right of this inner wall button, too, for more items.  Since all the bars are timed, it may take several attempts to run from one button to the next in the proper order to make the way clear to the secret.
