NightFloyd Transcript:
Sequitur by Tin Foil Jenny
As played on ifMUD on May 29, 2014

Like ClubFloyd, the idea behind NightFloyd is that a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Unlike ClubFloyd, NightFloyd often takes on significantly larger works of interactive fiction, knowing going in that each one will take multiple sessions (but not always, as you'll see in this transcript). NightFloyd is also a bit more informal than ClubFloyd in that it's only announced on the ifMUD #clubfloyd bulletin board, and the time shifts around to meet player's schedules far more than ClubFloyd does. NightFloyd is organized by genericgeekgirl, aka Adri.

Below is a transcript of Sequitur written by Tin Foil Jenny. It was released as part of ShuffleComp 2014, and was one of the ten Commended games. You can learn more about the game, including how to download it, by visiting IFDB.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing this game, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played this game, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

Floyd | Detective Cochone is being tortured by a dancing bear. The small toy
Floyd | bobs on the desk, its cymbals crashing out an eardrum-tearing beat
Floyd | that shouldn't be possible for such tiny plates of gold-colored tin.
Floyd | Cochone's head pounds in sympathy. Even the walls of Jenny's office
Floyd | seem to shake. With a sour expression, Cochone turns away from the
Floyd | cacophony.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Okay, so you don't like Happy Jack," Jenny says as the bear stops
Floyd | clapping. Seated in her wheelchair in front of the only other desk in
Floyd | the office, Jenny frowns in mock disappointment. "Somebody has a bad
Floyd | case of the mubble fubbles."
Floyd |
Floyd | "The morning has been a bit rough," Cochone says. "I think I'm coming
Floyd | down with something."
Floyd |
Floyd | "Well, I hope you are well enough to listen to some music. I need a
Floyd | soundtrack to my day. Do you want to choose a song?"

Floyd | Jenny must see something in Cochone's eyes. Or maybe it's his blanched

Floyd |
Floyd | "Just do me  a favor and keep the volume down."
Floyd |
Floyd | Jenny turns the laptop back to face her. "Let's see. I'm sure you like
Floyd | The Animals, so we'll add lots of them. We also need
Floyd | something modern." She considers. "We'll take solid gold synth from
Floyd | The Golden Filter. And a little French culture wouldn't hurt.
Floyd | Jacques Dutronc. And to help lighten the mood , we'll add 'Hot Dog.'
Floyd | She taps some keys on the laptop, and "Venus and Serena" begins to

Floyd | *** Sequitur is working ... Sequitur is designed for
Floyd | you to put tracks in the Sequence in temporal order. This particular
Floyd | case has 15 tracks, so two sequences should be established: one with
Floyd | ten tracks and the other with five. Something will tell you when the
Floyd | sequence of events for either of these is set sensibly and, when you
Floyd | do realize it, we should know what to do next. Usually solving the
Floyd | long chain is sufficient to continue. Only by sequencing both chains,
Floyd | however,  will we be able to see the whole story.
Floyd |
Floyd | Sequitur Commands and Brief Guide
Floyd |
Floyd | CLEAR SEQUENCE [or PLAYLIST]: removes all the tracks
Floyd CUT [a track] FROM [a slot or playlist[: removes the track; if a
Floyd | second noun isn't specified, the track will be removed from the

Floyd | specified slot up to and including the track in the second specified
Floyd | slot
Floyd | EXAMINE or X [a track or slot]: plays the track or the track which is
Floyd | in the slot
Floyd | EXXAMINE or X TRACKS or SEQUENCE or PLAYLIST: lists all the tracks,
Floyd | the tracks in the Sequence, or the tracks in the playlist,
Floyd | respectively
Floyd PUT [a track] IN [a slot or playlist]: This will either fill an empty
Floyd | slot or, if the slot contains a track,  first shift the tracks right
Floyd | if there is an empty slot available. If no slots are available to the
Floyd | right but there is an empty slot to the left, the tracks shift
Floyd | backward. If the Sequence is already full, the track in the last slot
Floyd | is lost; u can also put a track number first or second or third, etc.
Floyd | PLAY TRACKS or PLAYLIST or SEQUENCE: plays all the tracks in whatever
Floyd | you specified; "tracks" will play all the unslotted tracks
Floyd | PLAY or P [a track]: accepts track names or numbers
Floyd PLAY or P [a slot or track] THROUGH [a slot or track]: specifying two
Floyd | unslotted tracks plays tracks that are not in the Sequence in their
Floyd | number order
Floyd | PLAY TRACKS or SEQUENCE or PLAYLIST RANDOMLY: if "tracks" is
Floyd | specified, all the tracks not in the Sequence will play  randomly
Floyd | RENAME [a track]
Floyd SHIFT [a track or slot] FORWARD or BACKWARD BY [a number]: moves the
Floyd | track or track in the specified slot forward or backward the specified
Floyd | number along the Sequence if there are empty sklots to fill; if an
Floyd | empty slot is specified, the specified number of slots forward or back
Floyd | will be emptied; it will seperate tracks  if the specified track is
Floyd | next to another track
Floyd |
Floyd | SHUFFLE PLAYLIST or SEQUENCE: rearranges the tracks but doesn't play
Floyd | them
Floyd | SUMMARIZE [a track]: allows you to write a brief description of the
Floyd | track; if you play a track with a summary and summaries is switched
Floyd | on, your description will be printed, instead of playing the track
Floyd | SWITCH SUMMARIES or SWITCH ON or OFF SUMMARIES: When summaries are
Floyd | switched on, your descriptions of the tracks will be printed. When
Floyd | they're off, the tracks play normally
Floyd SWITCH [a track or slot] WITH [a track or a slot]: this won't shift
Floyd | the tracks in the Sequence; the track is placed in the new position,
Floyd | either filling it or replacing the previous track it held
Floyd |
Floyd | You can also record notes by typing WRITE," read them with READ
Floyd | NOTES," and clear the notebook with CLEAR NOTEBOOK."
Floyd |
Floyd | Other commands: CREDITS, HELP, QUIT, REOPEN, RESTART, and SAVE.
Floyd |
Floyd | ASK JENNY FOR HINTS if you want her advice, or ASK JENNY FOR an
Floyd | OPINION if you want her to show you how she would fit all the tracks
Floyd | into the Sequence. You can also just TALK TO JENNY anytime.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Cute, Jenny," Cochone says. "Including yourself in there like that."
Floyd |
Floyd | Jenny giggles. "That's why I'm here. I'm usually good for a little
Floyd | chat."
Floyd |

Floyd | Some men laugh from down the hall.
Floyd |
Floyd | "So, can you tell me a little bit about the case you're working on?"
Floyd | Jenny says.  "It's that house in the bayou?"
Floyd |
Floyd | "Right." Cochone sighs. "At about 7:00 Thursday night a guy, Mr.
Floyd | Mayer, was walking his weiner dog on the outskirts of the Belle
Floyd | Bayou."
Floyd |
Floyd | "Was his name Oscar? The dog. It was a daschund, right?"
Floyd |
Floyd | "Right. He finds a young woman. Twentysomething. She is barely
Floyd | conscious. She points into the trees. Passes out. Mayer sees some
Floyd | smoke. He calls emergency. They search the area. Turns out there's a
Floyd | house there with a fire in the basement and two burned bodies. Two
Floyd | more people are found dead. Shot. All young, your age. There is also a
Floyd | lot of recording equipment, and some cell phones. We spend all day in
Floyd | and around the house gathering it all up for your little pet project.
Floyd | And today I'm hoping it will talk because right now the woman is in a
Floyd | coma, and we don't even know who any of them are."
Floyd |
Floyd | Jenny's smile finally fades. "Well, I'm sure we'll figure it out."
Floyd |
Floyd | "It doesn't look good for the woman. Five-to-one says she won't make
Floyd | it."
Floyd |
Floyd | Jenny's eyes widen. "I, I don't like taking chances." She frowns.
Floyd | "Especially when it involves someone's life."
Floyd |
Floyd | Cochone shrugs. "She lives or dies either way."
Floyd |
Floyd | Arms crossed, Jenny glances at the computer. "Maybe you should get
Floyd | back to work. Ask me for help when you need it." She emphasizes the
Floyd | "when."

Floyd | Stephen Cochone scrambled out of bed this morning, rushing to the
Floyd | toilet to vomit. That was actually a good thing; he slept through the
Floyd | alarm, but he still had time for a quick shower and a splash of
Floyd | cologne. He was going to work with a young woman today, after all.
Floyd |
Floyd | If it wasn't for Jenny, he would have probably called in sick. His
Floyd | queasy stomach has settled, but his head pounds, and he has difficulty
Floyd | focusing his itchy eyes. This type of wake-up call was supposed to
Floyd | have ended when he had graduated from college and swore off the booze.
Floyd | That was the year his father, a vice cop, drove head-on into a truck,
Floyd | killing himself and his wife, Stephen's mother. They had just stumbled
Floyd | away from their wedding anniversary celebration at the bar where,
Floyd | twenty years previous, Stephen's father had stuffed dollar bills in
Floyd | his future wife's g-string. Perhaps alcohol abstinence has prevented
Floyd | some of the physical decline associated with age and detective work in
Floyd | a large city; Stephen looks generally the same as he did during his
Floyd | college years, with a few creases around the eyes and gray hairs that
Floyd | appeared during and after the divorce, when his ex decided to take his
Floyd | daughters to New York with her.
Floyd |
Floyd | Cochone's legs begin to ache, and he shifts in his seat to releive the
Floyd | pressure.

Floyd |
Floyd | A closeup of Neo. Her face scrunches, and the camera shakes. "C'mon
Floyd | you stupid thing. Work." Floorboards moan. Neo looks up. The phone is
Floyd | cast aside, but its eye peeks from a crook in the floral-patterned
Floyd | sofa. It captures Xeno gasping and coughing in the hall.
Floyd |
Floyd | Neo rushes to Xeno and helps her into the sunlit room. "Xeno? What's
Floyd | wrong?"
Floyd |
Floyd | Xeno sputters, bends over.
Floyd |
Floyd | Neo turns to face the window and disappears from view. "Xeno? There's
Floyd | some men coming." She reappears  at Xeno's side.
Floyd |
Floyd | The view stutters, scrambles, goes black.
Floyd |
Floyd | Audio only. Xeno sucks air. A thud.
Floyd |
Floyd | The camera flicks on. A woman — fortyish and tall — is standing
Floyd | over
Floyd | Xeno and Neo, who huddle together on the floor, oblivious. The woman
Floyd | hauls Neo to her feet and pulls her toward the camera. Neo twists, but
Floyd | she can't free her arms. "Who? Let me." Neo continues to struggle. The
Floyd | woman shifts her stance, flashing a yellow flower tattoo on her arm.
Floyd |
Floyd | Xeno, having regained some control over her breathing, gets to her
Floyd | feet. She looks left, darts away to her right.
Floyd |
Floyd | Crackle. Black.
Floyd |
Floyd | The video returns. Neo shakes and cries next to the camera. A black
Floyd | man points a Glock pistol at her. Suddenly he is knocked away, the gun
Floyd | falling.
Floyd |
Floyd | Nickell holding an oar. He goes fuzzy, and the image disappears.
Floyd |
Floyd | Thump. A woman screaming.
Floyd |
Floyd | A gloved hand appears and punches at something on the floor, fist
Floyd | bloodier with every swing. Deep breaths, then the gloved hand pushes
Floyd | off the cushion in front of the camera. One of the fingers of the
Floyd | glove is shredded. The man hefts himself to his feet. He turns,
Floyd | revealing the Glock. Two shots at the body on the floor.

Floyd | *** Sequitur is working ... Track 14 Squirrel Trap
Floyd |
Floyd | The video starts with a closeup of Neo. She stares into the camera,
Floyd | her eyes a shade of blue lighter than that of her hair. She pulls the
Floyd | camera away from her face. "Seems to work okay out here."
Floyd |
Floyd | The camera turns to Nickell, who is sitting propped up against a
Floyd | cypress and snarfing down a submarine sandwich. Behind him, the
Floyd | sluggish Mississippi River caresses the posts of several dilapitated
Floyd | docks.
Floyd |
Floyd | "I hope —" Nickell says, but Neo interrupts him.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Sshh!"
Floyd |
Floyd | A furry head peers out at the camera from a bush to the left of
Floyd | Nickell. The camera pans over to the animal, its fluffy tail twitching
Floyd | against its twiggy camouflage.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Quiet," Neo says. "I've got a great idea."
Floyd |
Floyd | Nickell says something that sounds like "Two in ten minutes. That's
Floyd | good."
Floyd |
Floyd | "Shut up and be quiet. This will be a cool shot if it works."
Floyd |
Floyd | The camera jiggles across some trees and away from the animal. Neo's
Floyd | hand places a strawberry on the grass, then the camera descends to
Floyd | ground level and focuses on the fruit center screen.
Floyd |
Floyd | Minutes pass with the occasional twitter and call from some birds.
Floyd | Then, a squirrel enters the frame. It scurries awkwardly over to the
Floyd | strawberry, nose twitching. Its black fur is speckled with gold dust.
Floyd | The squirrel snatches up the bait and scampers off, dragging one
Floyd | hindleg through the grass.
Floyd |
Floyd | "It worked!" Neo shrieks. The camera is pulled from the ground.
Floyd | "Gotcha my pretty. Salt will love this."

Floyd |
Floyd | Neo swings open a door and steps out into bright sunlight. Nickell
Floyd | follows her as she walks passed a van, footfalls crunching gravel.
Floyd | Birds respond with their own loud calls. The camera joins the two then
Floyd | scans some ash trees as if searching for them. It circles back round
Floyd | to catch Neo and Nickell disappearing around a corner of the house.
Floyd | The footage jiggles as the camera follows the pair, its operator
Floyd | breathing hard.
Floyd |
Floyd | The shaky camera settles on a large clearing crowded by trees and
Floyd | bush. Two black squirrels drink from the birdbath.
Floyd |
Floyd | Zoom in. A hindleg of one of the squirrels hangs limply over the side
Floyd | of the bowl.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Are you getting this, Xeno?" Neo says.
Floyd |
Floyd | The squirrels leap from the bowl and scamper up a nearby tree, their
Floyd | tails jittering. The camera swings around and pulls out.
Floyd |
Floyd | Neo rushes over to the large fountain centered in the yard. "Whoa!"
Floyd | She steps back and stares at three sculpted figures. "Is that his ...
Floyd | Thing?"
Floyd |
Floyd | Nickell saunters up next to her. "Yep. And those are hers, and those
Floyd | are hers."
Floyd |
Floyd | The camera tightens in on the three naked figures: a man standing in
Floyd | the middle of the basin with one girl kneeling  at one side and
Floyd | another girl standing on the other, their hands caressing his body.
Floyd |
Floyd | "They look a bit young, don't you think?" Neo says. "Kind of gross.
Floyd | It's not like an innocent little boy peeing, that's for sure."
Floyd |
Floyd | Nickell continues to study the girls. He turns away and looks at the
Floyd | camera. "Why don't you turn that off. Maybe we should look around a

Floyd |
Floyd | Closeup of a door. Somebody bangs on it from the other side. A woman
Floyd | wheezes and gasps.
Floyd |
Floyd | The camera shakes. It swings around to the window with the potted
Floyd | flower on its sill. The camera drops to waist height. The camera
Floyd | operator slides the window open.
Floyd |
Floyd | The door bursts open. A scream. The camera shakes and whirls around.
Floyd |
Floyd | The camera captures a black man pointing a Glock pistol. Unnoticed by
Floyd | the man, Kiku is standing just inside the door.
Floyd |
Floyd | The gun clicks. "Merde!" The guy says.
Floyd |
Floyd | Kiku offers a slight smile, and she nods at the camera.
Floyd |
Floyd | The camera operator grunts and wheezes. She throws herself out the
Floyd | window. She slams into the ground. The video goes black, but the
Floyd | woman's panting can be heard.
Floyd |
Floyd | The side of the house appears with the man at the open window. He
Floyd | points his Glock down at the camera operator, but nothing happens. He
Floyd | slams the pistol against the window frame.
Floyd |
Floyd | The woman rises, wheezing and coughing. After a few wobbly steps, she
Floyd | stumbles through the trees. She steadies herself with an arm against a
Floyd | trunk, and the camera is lifted. She pokes at some buttons, crying.
Floyd | She falls. The video stops.

Floyd | "I didn't sign up for breaking and entering," Argo says. He rams a

Floyd | He pulls the tool, and two boards separate from the clapboard with a
Floyd | loud crack.
Floyd |

Floyd | Argo and Salt free the remaining boards.
Floyd |
Floyd | The video stutters, blacks out.
Floyd |
Floyd | The footage starts again. An enclosed counter fronted by clear glass
Floyd | sits in the feeble light cast by the window beside it. A pipe snakes
Floyd | from the top of the fumehood and attaches to the wall.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Wow," a man says. The camera swings around and catches Salt standing
Floyd | over another counter, its length swallowed in the gloom of the
Floyd | basement. Salt's flashlight beam glides along its black surface,
Floyd | picking out bottles, a digital weigh scale, flasks, and a sink. It
Floyd | comes to rest on a humming refrigerator.
Floyd |
Floyd | "What's that smell?" Salt says.  "Sulfur?"
Floyd |
Floyd | "Maybe this was a mistake, Salt." A woman's voice, the camera
Floyd | operator. "Argo?"
Floyd |
Floyd | The camera finds Argo pointing his flashlight over boxes in a corner.
Floyd |
Floyd | The video goes black and when the footage starts again, Argo is
Floyd | starting up some stairs with Salt behind him. The figure wearing the
Floyd | gas mask emerges from behind them. It throws a cloud of glittering
Floyd | powder into their faces. Both men collapse gasping and coughing onto
Floyd | the floor. The camera dips as its operator begins to sway.  She hacks
Floyd | and sputters.
Floyd |
Floyd | Argo twitches, trapped by seizure. The figuredraped in darkness bends
Floyd | down and places a bag over Salt's head.

Floyd | obviously the camera operator.
Floyd |
Floyd | The camera continues to roam, picking out a few dead blackbirds and
Floyd | squirrel. "Wow," the same high-pitched voice says, more to herself
Floyd | than anyone else. "What happened here?"
Floyd |
Floyd | She focuses on a branch at eye level. Its leaves twingle with gold
Floyd | flecks that catch the sun. The camera pans over wilting flowers of
Floyd | Spanish moss and monkey flower.
Floyd |
Floyd | "I gotta piss."
Floyd |
Floyd | The camera whirls around to the white clapboard side of the house
Floyd | where Neo is standing, a boarded-up window beside her slim legs.
Floyd | Nickell walks into frame and addresses Neo, who frowns at him.
Floyd | "Already? We just got here. You'll have to go in there." Nickell

Floyd |
Floyd | The camera steadies on Nickell. He runs a hand through his thick black

Floyd |
Floyd | The girl turns around. She is Asian, mid-to-late teens, and wearing  a

Floyd |
Floyd | "We're so sorry." The voice female, the camera operator. "We thought

Floyd |
Floyd | The girl stares into the camera.

Doug says, "so the tracks that aren't in the sequence currently are Fight, Escape, Torching, Powerboat, Time Lapse"
Doug says, "should I put those into the playlist? I think those all come after Basement"
Doug says, "hm, maybe Backyard/Dead Zone/Sound Test/Squirrel Trap are part of the 5-clip sequence? it's sort of a branch off from Locked Door/Basement"
DavidW says, "I've currently got Basement, Escape, Fight, Torching, Powerboat in that order. And yeah, Time Lapse would be last of everything."
DavidW asks, "Do we get any clue where the ring is found?"
Doug says, "I didn't see it"
Doug says, "in Locked Door, Salt says he wants to go downstairs, and Basement is where he and Argo go downstairs and are attacked by the gas mask guy."
Doug says, "wait, Xeno is holding the camera with Neo & Nickell when they go outside in Backyard, but then Neo finds Xeno coughing in Fight, which implies she's also the one holding the camera in Basement."
DavidW says, "yes, I think Xeno was the cam op in the basement."
Doug says, "I guess Xeno goes inside between Dead Zone and Sound Test"
Doug says, "so I think I'm okay with our current sequence, but I don't get the division between the 10 clips and the 5 clips"
Doug asks, "and I don't know what to do with the other 5 clips. do we have to put them into the playlist? is there some way to make a second sequence?"
DavidW says, "I don't know."
DavidW says, "Supposedly, when we get one sequence or the other right, something in the game will let us know."
Doug says, "yeah, it said that our first 5 were a part of the longer sequence"
Doug says, "also, pretty sure Escape comes after Fight, since he shoots the Glock in Fight but then it's empty in Escape."
Doug says, "we could ask Jenny for hints"
DavidW says, "yeah, I agree now that Escape is after Fight."
Doug says, "or ASK JENNY FOR OPINION seems like she would give us the whole order? probably don't want to do that"

Floyd | You know what happened, right? My ex-boyfriend got really drunk and
Floyd | came back to my apartment and found me with his friend Chris. We were
Floyd | just talking. He was there to see Eric. But when he left, Eric threw
Floyd | me against the wall and down the stairs. And he didn't stop there."
Floyd | Jenny looks down. "Thing is, he had reason to be jealous. Chris and I
Floyd | were talking about how it would work between us. But it didn't."

Floyd | "So where is your ex?"

Floyd |
Floyd | "No." A woman. "My mother. She needs this house."
Floyd |
Floyd | "We must burn the basement at least. Nobody can find your work. Marco

Floyd |
Floyd | Floorboards creak. Footsteps. The woman, "You should see a doctor.

Floyd |
Floyd | "Non." Another man's voice. French. "I hate hospitals."
Floyd |
Floyd | Footsteps pound down the stairs. A third man. French. "She ran away."

Doug says, "hm, was wondering if it would change the woman to Kiku. but probably she's the tall woman with the yellow flower tattoo"
Doug says, "but I think Kiku is Kiku's baby from the diary"
DavidW says, "I'm tempted to call the woman Curie. And the 'glittering powder' radium."
Doug says, "oh, I guess the ring is the two-headed cobra ring from the Google search"
DavidW says, "In our drama, there seems to be 4 kids (Argo, Nickell, Neo, Xeno), 4 adults (3 men, 1 tall woman), and Kiku (the wild card)."
Doug says, "popular in Louisiana penal facilities."
Doug says, "5 kids, including Salt."
DavidW says, "oh right."
Doug says, "and the French voices say "combien? (how many?)" "three. maybe even four or five.""
DavidW says, "Xeno escaped, the other four kids were killed."
DavidW says, "Right, the number is how many intruders."
Doug says, "yeah, in Torching the guy says "she ran away" which refers to Xeno"
Doug says, "and Xeno is the survivor in the hospital"
DavidW asks, "Now -- are there two Kiku's? One dead, one a daughter or granddaughter?"
Doug says, "I think so"
Doug asks, "hm, Cochone says they found recording equipment and cell phones at the house in Belle Bayou. But where did they get the Powerboat recording??"
DavidW says, "oh. hm."
Doug says, "ohh, I guess the powerboat came up the river to the house and then left"

Floyd | well with my found footage idea, and sequitur followed from
Floyd | there.
Floyd |
Floyd | Of the songs on the playlist I received, "House of the Rising Sun" and
Floyd | "Solid Gold" had the greatest influence on sequitur. The
Floyd | Asian brothel and Cochone's gambling were inspired by The Animals'
Floyd | song, as was the prison (which some music critics think is the real
Floyd | "House of the Rising Sun"). The band name, The Animals, also inspired
Floyd | the naming of the main characters, and Jenny's dogs are named after
Floyd | members of the band. Because of "Solid Gold," i added the
Floyd | chemical/alchemical aspect of the story. References are made
Floyd | throughout the game to elements — the names of the band members are
Floyd | abbreviated names for the noble gases argon, neon, and xenon, for
Floyd | example. "Hot Dog" and, to a lesser extent, "Il Est Cinq Heures Paris
Floyd | S'eveille" also influenced sequitur. Most obviously,
Floyd | Cochone's favorite food, the name of the band, and the vegetarian
Floyd | references were inspired by the former, and the Fench element was
Floyd | included because of the latter. This is just a sample of how these
Floyd | songs shaped the game; you'll likely find other similarities.
Floyd |
Floyd | I chose these songs based on listening to them, not on their videos.
Floyd | Only after sequitur was being developed did I go through the
Floyd | videos. As it turns out, those for "Wandering" and "Wires" share some
Floyd | themes with the game, but these similarities are coincidental. I
Floyd | enjoyed all of the songs on my playlist — six of the eight were new
Floyd | to
Floyd | me. Listen to all of them then turn on the radio. After all, the word
Floyd | "music" is derived from the Greek "muse."

Floyd | and Xeno explore outside ("Backyard" and "Dead Zone") while Argo and

Floyd | ("Diary"). Neo and Xeno find Kiku ("Chrysanthemum") while Nickell
Floyd | places a camera outside to record the backyard ("Time Lapse"). Argo,
Floyd | Neo, and Xeno pass Nickell, who is entering the house, on their way to
Floyd | see Salt in the kitchen ("Locked Door"). Salt investigates the ring
Floyd | (which Neo found while urinating in the trees) and the diary contents
Floyd | ("Google"). Neo and Nickell decide to eat outside, where the latter
Floyd | sets up his audio recorder ("Sound Test"), and Neo discovers the
Floyd | injured squirrel has been exposed to the gold powder ("Squirrel
Floyd | Trap"). Despite exposure, the squirrel seems healthy.
Floyd |
Floyd | Salt convinces Argo and Xeno to break into the basement through the
Floyd | boarded-up windows, and they are attacked by Kiku's daughter
Floyd | ("Basement"). The startled blackbirds are caught by the audio

Floyd | retrieving the oar, and Kiku's daughter leaving in the boat with one
Floyd | of the terrorists ("Diary"). Neo has already returned to the house and
Floyd | tries to help Xeno, but the terrorists arrive ("Fight"). Xeno escapes,
Floyd | but Neo and Nickell are killed. Xeno runs up to Kiku's room where Kiku
Floyd | helps her escape out the window ("Escape"). The terrorists and Kiku's

Floyd |
Floyd | Cochone rotates his chair around to face Jenny. "I have it. Let's get
Floyd | Nigel in here." He coughs.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Great!" Jenny says with the widest smile she's had all afternoon.
Floyd | "I'll get him." She stands and reaches for her cane.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Watch it," Cochone says, rising to help her. "Are you sure you're
Floyd | okay?"
Floyd |
Floyd | "Yes." Jenny stabilizes herself with the cane.
Floyd |
Floyd | Cochone wobbles, steps back, and places a hand on the handle of
Floyd | Jenny's wheelchair.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Whoa," Jenny says. "Are you okay? Excitement too much?"
Floyd |
Floyd | Cochone falls into the wheelchair. "Yeah. I'll wait here." He
Floyd | struggles for breath.
Floyd |
Floyd | Jenny frowns. "I'll be right back." She hobbles into the hall.
Floyd |
Floyd | "What was that, Jenny?" Cochone mumbles as his lungs chase oxygen.
Floyd |
Floyd | Nigel appears. He is saying something. "I said, 'are you okay?'"
Floyd |
Floyd | "Sure," Cochone says. Straightening, he tries to stand, but he teeters
Floyd | and falls back into the chair. "Just push me over to the desk, and
Floyd | I'll show you what we have."
Floyd |
Floyd | Nigel pushes Cochone up to the desk. Jenny watches with concern.
Floyd |
Floyd | Jenny and Nigel remain silent as Cochone clicks through the
Floyd | ten-segment  and short sequences.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Okay," Nigel says. "We're going to get you some medical attention.
Floyd | But based on what we've seen, we don't have a lot of time. What do you

Floyd |
Floyd | "He seemed a little sick when he got here this morning," Jenny says.
Floyd | "But he wasn't this bad."
Floyd |
Floyd | Cochone slumps. His head slams against the desk.

Floyd | chemical agent
Floyd | Abstract: Over a period of three days, 14 emergency response
Floyd | personnel, including police and firefighters, were admitted to
Floyd | hospital with nausea, vomiting, headache, motor incordination, and
Floyd | syncope. They had been exposed to a synthetic compound while
Floyd | investigating an abandoned house in the Belle Bayou of New Orleans,
Floyd | Louisiana. All of the patients survived, but ten developed severe
Floyd | hearing loss and paralysis. Another woman, also found at the site,
Floyd | died two weeks after exposure. New York Post Mar. 12, 2015
Floyd | Hundreds die in subway attacks
Floyd | Hundreds of commuters were hurt or killed yesterday when canisters of
Floyd | AU879-98 were released in New York subways. This represents another in
Floyd | a series of similar attacks in major cities across the US. The
Floyd | Tunisian terrorist group Ansar al-Sharia says the attacks will
Floyd | continue ... The mysterious gold powder has not been identified ...

Floyd |
Floyd | ***  ... And the story ends. Cochone's investigation
Floyd | leads to one of four outcomes, dependent upon what he can link
Floyd | together, if anything. You can only reach the finale by solving the
Floyd | ten-segment chain. Whether or not you solve the short chain, however,
Floyd | does influence the outcome. If you decide to play again, keep in mind
Floyd | that Jenny likes to be talked to, and the game recognizes some
Floyd | standard commands that don't apply to the "Sequitur" program when used
Floyd | with objects in Jenny's office. These include examine and listen.

Doug says, "ok, I give up."
Doug says, "maybe we got it into a buggy state somehow and we can't get to the other outcomes"
DavidW says, "I'm not sure what could change in the finale, though."
Doug says, "I guess I was hoping that the correct sequence would somehow make it more clear that the gold powder was toxic"
DavidW asks, "There's nothing we can do or say to prevent the hospital deaths or the NY attacks, is there? Like, how would we tell anyone that the squirrel seemed to be immune to the gold stuff?"
Doug says, "but hm, I guess most of it was already taken away in the boat before we even started the case"
Doug says, "I'm puzzled about what we're supposed to do in the two turns after Nigel asks us what to do next"
DavidW asks, "I dunno. Play a tape for emphasis?"
Doug asks, "it seems like Cochone is also infected; maybe we have to find the source in the office?"
DavidW says, "oh. hm."
