Floyd ] Floyd | Floyd | It's been a long day of squeezing and squirming through the corridors Floyd | of the Aegis mining station. After four conduit repairs, three data Floyd | integrity checks and a host of valve replacements, you're ready for a Floyd | shower. It's work like this that could earn you a promotion... | ||

Floyd | shower. It's work like this that could earn you a promotion...BANG! Floyd | Floyd | Suddenly, the station is rocked by an explosion. Floyd | Floyd | It knocks you off your feet and nearly down a jefferies tube, but you Floyd | barely manage to hold on. Your toolbox slides into the tube and Floyd | crashes 20 feet below. The sound echoes all around you, and then there Floyd | is only dead silence. Floyd | Floyd | What the hell happened? Your thoughts turn to the striking miners, or Floyd | turncoats as the Captain calls them. They had shut themselves off in Floyd | the south wing two weeks ago, determined not to drill one more cent of Floyd | ore until their terms were met: higher wages, reasonable working Floyd | hours, more reliable drill suits. Floyd | Floyd | The Captain didn't bend, of course, and with the guile sure to win him Floyd | a pay raise he shut the pressure hatches to the entire area. The 58 Floyd | workers would be completely isolated until the Empire sent in their Floyd | negotiating squad, along with a replacement team. Floyd | Floyd | But what were the strikers trying to do, blow up the station? Floyd | Something isn't right. Floyd | Floyd | You tuck in your technician uniform and take a breath. The Galactic Floyd | Empire trained you to remain calm in crisis situations like this. Floyd | Floyd | From somewhere below, you hear the hiss of steam as a pipe bursts. Floyd | It's gonna be a long night. Floyd | Floyd | (press any key to continue) | Binder asks, "OK to go on?" | |

Floyd ] Floyd | Floyd | Oxygen Floyd | Version 1.1 - September 2010 Floyd | [LINK] Floyd | Floyd | Thank you for playing Oxygen. This game uses standard Interactive Floyd | Fiction conventions, and any commands unique to this game should be Floyd | obvious to you when you need them. Floyd | Floyd | Some conversational commands you may find useful are: Floyd | Floyd | talk to [someone] - initiates a conversation Floyd | ask [someone] about [something] - asks someone about a topic or Floyd | thing Floyd | tell [someone] about [ something] or tell [someone] that [ Floyd | something] - tells someone about a topic or thing Floyd | (note: you must use the words "about" or "that" in the above phrases) Floyd | Floyd | If you are in a conversation, you could also abbreviate asking or Floyd | telling about as a [something] or t [something]. Floyd | Topics will bring up a list of topics you can discuss. You can Floyd | also answer yes or no if you are asked a question, or Floyd | apologize. Floyd | Floyd | Oxygen makes use of sound, though it is not necessary to complete the Floyd | game. Also, typing statusbar will switch the statusbar at the Floyd | top of the screen off or on should you choose. Floyd | Floyd | Send constructive criticism, non-constructive criticism, or virtual Floyd | dungbombs to: Ben@ShadowK.com Floyd | Floyd | (press any key to continue) | Binder says, "Oh good we have an apologize verb." | |

Floyd | Floyd | The voice of the Chief of Operations emits from the static of your Floyd | radio, which you realize has fallen down the jefferies tube along with Floyd | most of your tools. Floyd | Floyd | > | Draconis asks, "So will "down" take us down the tube?" | |

It isn't plugged into anything at the moment, however there Floyd | is an outlet nearby. Floyd | Floyd | "This is the Chief. Listen, looks like the turncoats must have Floyd | been trying to break their way outta the aft section through the Floyd | service module connectors. They weren't successful though, blew the Floyd | tubes and whoever was in them out into space. Serves the bastards Floyd | right - but we'll let the cap'n deal with the remaining ones. So far Floyd | no reports of serious damage, but data is still coming in. Corndog - I Floyd | mean, Zanders - Please report immediately on the status of the oxygen Floyd | generators. If you don't respond then you better have three broken Floyd | legs to show for it." Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Draconis says (to Floyd), "plug in console" | ||
Floyd ] Conduit (holding the power cable) Floyd | Floyd | > PLUG IN CONSOLE Floyd | Floyd | You pick up the end of the cable. Floyd | Floyd | You plug the power cable into the outlet. However, the console does Floyd | not respond. The power to this outlet must have been lost, so you'll Floyd | need to find another power source. Floyd | Floyd | You unplug the cable.

Floyd ] Conduit (holding the power cable) Floyd | Floyd | > READ BOOK Floyd | Floyd | You scan the technical manual, looking for any information that may be Floyd | useful. Some of the sections are bookmarked, and one of them reads: Floyd | Floyd | The Aegis Mining Station plays an important role in providing the Floyd | Galactic Empire with materials necessary for interstellar travel. Floyd | However the Aegis asteroid field, which contains the important Floyd | intersteller drive composites, is inconveniently located in the middle Floyd | of the Horsehead nebula. Floyd | Floyd | > | Binder says, "That is inconvenient." | |

Floyd | Floyd | > | Binder starts doing some Cold Equations. | |
| Draconis asks, "What are cold equations?" | ||
| katie-paquette says, "It doesn't have to to do with a power cable either." | ||
| Binder says, "Well, it's an old sf story." | ||
| Draconis asks, "Are those the inverses of the heat transfer equations?" | ||
| Binder says, "In a way." | ||
| Binder says, "They've enumerated the crew count, the time it would take a rescue to get here, and the amount of oxygen normally stored here." | ||

Floyd ] Conduit (holding the power cable) Floyd | Floyd | > G Floyd | Floyd | You scan the technical manual, looking for any information that may be Floyd | useful. Some of the sections are bookmarked, and one of them reads: Floyd | Floyd | The fore override is determined by the primary and secondary Floyd | override slots in the fore conduit, while a corresponding conduit on Floyd | the opposite side of the station controls the aft override. Floyd | Floyd | > | Draconis says, "Sounds like SUSPENDED." | |
| katie-paquette says, "No." | ||

Floyd | Who knew skipping one day of class could have consequences? Floyd | Floyd | [ you now have the diagram and may look at it anytime ] Floyd | Floyd | Someone makes a joke about a dog on a stick from the radio, but you've Floyd | already begun tuning the messages out in order to concentrate on what Floyd | needs to be done next. Floyd | Floyd | > | Binder says, "Uh. Hum. I guess I'm glad we've got the html markup to help me sort of understand this table." | |

It appears to be stuck, or jammed in Floyd | tightly. That may be for the best though, as stability control is Floyd | vital to the station's structural integrity. Floyd | small red card: You slide the small red card out from the lower slot. Floyd | For a moment you wait to see if anything changes, but nothing happens. Floyd | The card was probably not providing an essential service to those Floyd | systems, and you can make better use of it.

Floyd | Floyd | You hear a whoosh as a burst of oxygen is funneled through nearby Floyd | pipes. Floyd | Floyd | The sound of gas rushing through the transfer lines comes to a sudden Floyd | stop and you hear only the hissing of the steampipe below you. In a Floyd | moment, the hissing stops as well and you are left in silence. You Floyd | look down the jefferies tube. There, just a few feet below and resting Floyd | conveniently on a ledge, is your radio. It must have turned off Floyd | accidentally when it was thrown around in the gravity shift. You reach Floyd | down to pick up your radio and turn it back on. Floyd | Floyd | "...Chief, now that the oxygen has been re-routed I suggest Floyd | sealing off the entire A-deck, including the conduit tunnels. We can't Floyd | take any risks with the rebels." Floyd | Floyd | "Agreed. Zanders, get out of there and report to mechanics Floyd | immediately." Floyd | Floyd | The way back to the fore section and mechanics is down the Jefferies Floyd | tube, which is now clear. You look behind you - the southern tunnel Floyd | leads to the aft section, and if you wished you could probably use Floyd | your expertise to sneak into that section before the chief seals off Floyd | the last remaining route there. Of course the Captain wouldn't be too Floyd | happy about that. Floyd | Floyd | "I guess that's it then," the injured man sighs. "Time for you to go Floyd | back to your side, and I'll just crawl down the hall back to the rest Floyd | of us turncoats...I doubt we'll find another route across the station, Floyd | so we'll be sealed off for good this time." Floyd | Floyd | You know for sure he'll never make it down the corridor before the Floyd | entire deck is sealed off, and he'll likely be sucked out into space. Floyd | On the other hand, he'll never make it all the way down the jefferies Floyd | tube with that leg. Floyd | Floyd | Two choices surface in your mind. You can leave the injured man in the Floyd | conduit and save yourself by going down or you can go Floyd | south, helping him make it to the aft section of the ship. You're Floyd | pretty sure you can make it down the tube in time, but you're not so Floyd | sure about the southern tunnel. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| Binder says (to Floyd), "south" | ||
Floyd | > Floyd | > SOUTH Floyd | Floyd | "I'm not leaving you here," you tell the injured man. "Come on!" Floyd | Floyd | You help him up and the both of you stumble down the tunnel, escaping Floyd | not a minute too soon. The A-deck hatches close behind you, completely Floyd | sealing off the section conduits. There's no turning back now. You Floyd | take a few more corridors, take your time helping the injured man down Floyd | a jefferies tube (you hope you never see the inside of another Floyd | jefferies tube again), and finally through a partially hidden Floyd | hatchway. After hacking open a final set of pressure sealed doors, you Floyd | reach the main aft corridor. Now it's time to find out what the rebels Floyd | think of their new visitor...
