This is a bare bones walk through of the Everdunes Age of MYST. Although not every detail is covered, the basic points needed to set the Scanner, get the blue page, enter the small building and find the Myst book to return you to the Library, are covered.
The walk through begins in the Everdune Age at the starting point. If you need help getting to the Myst book that brings you to this age, see the walk through for Myst Island, it lists the means to reaching all the Myst books on the island.
You begin in the Rocketship, which locks shut behind you as soon as you leave it. Follow the ramp and then the path, past a small building. To enter the building you need to set the sliders on the lock to certain sounds, just as you had to set the sliders on the Rocketship to certain notes. The first puzzle in this age revolves around finding the correct "sequence" of sounds which is the combination to open the lock.
Explore the island, you should find five different symbols, each with a red button in front of them. Press each red button as you find them. This "turns on" the radios that broadcast the sound through the satellite dishes above them. You will also find a blue page which you need to take with you.
The final location is the Scanner, reached by following the tunnel at the bottom of the ladder which is in front of the symbol for "Wind". Open the Scanner by clicking on the doors.
Inside is a screen, a numerical readout, five buttons with the same "sound symbols" you found around the island, a large, red "enter" button and two directional buttons. Press one of the sound symbol buttons, then "tune" the Scanner using the directional buttons, finding the sound that matches the selected sound symbol by lining up the radio satellite dish, located where you found the symbol, in the viewfinder. One of the two directional buttons will flash when you are close, this helps "fine tune" the sound until it is clear (you will hear the sound through the scanner speakers). When it is clear (neither button flashes) press the big red "enter" button to lock in the coordinates.
Do this for all five sound symbols (some you cannot see due to the mist on the island, just scan around and listen for the sound). When you enter the last symbol's coordinates with the red button, the Scanner will play back all the sounds in a certain order. This order of sounds is the combination to the "sound lock" to the small building.
Set the sliders on the small building "sound lock" to the proper sounds in the correct order and press the button. Enter the building and make your way to the strange vehicle. Enter the vehicle and sit in the pilot seat. Press forward and the vehicle will be set onto the tracks of an underground rail system. At each stop, you can only go in certain directions, using the right and left arrow keys to turn to each direction and the forward button to move in the correct direction. The correct sequence of directions is:
Start - N, W, N, E, E, S, S, W, SW, W, NW, NE, N, SE. You will be at the end of the rail system. Leave the vehicle and follow the corridor to the Myst book that transports you back to the Library.
