[SPOILERS]

I'm near the end of Martian Dreams and I'm stuck, and I'm not sure if it's a bug or something I'm missing. I've gone through the sequence of breaking down the gates of Argyre, having Chsheket covered in human-like flesh, talking to Segal who says to face down Rasputin while he works on manufacturing metal bodies, etc. When I get to Rasputin and Emma Goldman, they each explain how Raxachk fled into the Dream World, and my party members tell me that I must follow to stop him. Emma Goldman says she reactivated the Dream Machine and made sure it was still functional so that I could follow.

My problem is that when I go to use the Dream Machine in Argyre, I get the message "The machine does not work." I've tried using it in the exact same way that the Elysium and Hellas machines work, and I've verified that it appears to have all of the necessary elements (control panel, power source, headband). I even removed the control panel and had Edison tinker with it just in case, but that didn't work. With Goldman's dialogue, it seems like the machine should be working so that I could chase after Raxachk and start what I assume is the endgame. I've managed to avoid walkthroughs and hints so far, so I'd appreciate knowing only:

1. There's an answer, and I need to keep looking;

or

2. It's a bug.

Thanks!

I don't remember this sequence well enough to give you a good answer, but the clue book should be included among the game's extras and may point you to anything else that needs to be done in Argyre. If there are other unresolved subplots elsewhere then you may need to deal with them first.
I finally broke down and read some walkthroughs, and it can only be a bug as the Argyre Dream Machine should be active after Emma Goldman tells you Raxa-whatever fled into the Dream World. Damned annoying, as I was loving the game, and I can't figure out how to move forward, and I'm worried that if I started all over the same bug would be there.

Oh my gosh. 2 years late! I had this problem too, then I realized, when I went back to speak to Rasputin, I never asked him his name! He was still called 'old monk' or something. I think you may just need to ask Rasputin his NAME,, and maybe his JOB too. His name will change from old monk to Rasputin. As soon as I did this I could use the Dream Machine!

Weird huh this helps you or someone.
