Myst Island
The Endgame
The Ages

Selenitic Age

Enter the spaceship and pull the lever by the sliding buttons to bring up the book that takes you to the Selenitic Age and click on it. Exit the ship and begin walking down the path. When you reach a brick building on your right, turn right to face it but don't click on it yet - this is only for purposes of getting your bearing. Turn left to continue the way you were traveling and go forward one click, then turn left and cross over the brick walkway and bridge until you reach a small grove of trees and can hear the sound of running water. Go up the incline and you'll find the blue page here (take it now if you like, but only if you don't mind seeing the hand cursor clutching a piece of paper as you navigate). You'll also find a red button and, behind and above it, a plaque with the image of drops falling into a body of water. Press the button to turn on a microphone and begin receiving the sound (you know it's on because you can actually see it depressed, and the plaque symbol lights up).

 
  This grove of trees is where you'll find one of the five microphone switches you need to turn on in the Selenitic Age - along with a page for the blue book.
   

Scout out the rest of the island to find the other four microphones - in front of a clock tower, on a brick jetty surrounded by crystal towers rising from the water (the red page is here), at the top of a manhole-type structure, and on a walkway above a volcano. It might take time to find them all, but it's not nearly as taxing as making your way around Channelwood!

Once all five microphones have been turned on, return to the one found at the top of the manhole and climb down the ladder. On your left you'll see a lever; pull it to turn on the lights, then turn around and enter a tunnel.
 
  After selecting one of the symbols, use the left and right arrows to pan the antenna to where the appropriate microphone is located. If you kept notes describing where each microphone was located, use the video display to move the antenna quickly to the general direction, then listen as the signal gets stronger or weaker as you make adjustments.
   
Walk to the other end, climb up the ladder found there, turn around when you reach the top, then go up the stairs you see just to your right. There you'll see a device with a receiving antenna on top - click on its front to open two doors and start the task of tuning in the sounds transmitted by the various microphones by clicking a symbol and then using the left and right arrows to rotate the dish to different headings. As you get close to the correct direction (displayed in degrees), you'll begin to hear the sound get stronger and stronger until it's all you hear. You can use the camera display above the symbols to help you make the tuning or, better yet, just dial up these values for each symbol. From left to right:
