Sitting at the helm is Floyd | a mysterious brooding character. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a mysterious brooding character here. Floyd | Floyd | The solar flare pulsates on the viewer. It appears the mysterious Floyd | character is using it to create a wormhole. You can tell because she Floyd | cackles and says, "Yes! The wormhole has been created by the solar Floyd | flares, modulated through the shield deflector array's graviton Floyd | element!" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

She Floyd | looks like an exotic female vid star you once saw on Rigel-9, but Floyd | after you blink twice, she looks more like some sort of plantlike Floyd | Triffid.

Floyd ] Main Engineering 0/3 Floyd | Floyd | > D Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Main Engineering Floyd | The engineering section is a small semi-circular capsule that houses Floyd | the primary controls for lighting, life support, engine status, Floyd | artificial gravity, and other vital functions on the ship. Each is Floyd | controlled by a separate panel. Floyd | Floyd | Floating in the engineering capsule is a Zapp-O-Maxx ray gun. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Main Engineering 0/7 Floyd | Floyd | > X ENGINE PANEL Floyd | Floyd | The only undamaged panel seems to be the engine status controls. The Floyd | lights are white and green, and a display reads, "Nominal." Whatever Floyd | else, if the helm controls are working, you should be able to pilot Floyd | and even land the ship even in this damaged condition. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "Perhaps that comes later?" | |
| DavidW says, "The helm control is in the bridge." | ||
| DavidW asks, "May I head to the bridge and shoot the mysterious brooding creature?" | ||
| Roger says, "go fir it" | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "u" | ||
Floyd ] Ship's Bridge 0/8 Floyd | Floyd | > U Floyd | Floyd | You kick hard and sail all the the way up through the central column Floyd | to the bridge. Floyd | Floyd | Ship's Bridge Floyd | The bridge is a chaotic turmoil of viewscreens overloading with Floyd | warning messages and a full portal view of nightmarish solar flares, Floyd | barely dimmed by filters and polarization. Sparks pop out of consoles Floyd | and bits of debris float like macro dust motes in a violent sunbeam. Floyd | Floyd | Only the helm station appears to be undamaged. Sitting at the helm is Floyd | a mysterious brooding character. Floyd | Floyd | You can also see a mysterious brooding character here. Floyd | Floyd | The solar flare pulsates on the viewer. It appears the mysterious Floyd | character is using it to create a wormhole. You can tell because she Floyd | cackles and says, "Yes! The wormhole has been created by the solar Floyd | flares, modulated through the shield deflector array's graviton Floyd | element!" Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Ship's Bridge 0/9 Floyd | Floyd | > SHOOT CHARACTER Floyd | Floyd | You shoot at the mysterious brooding character with the ray gun! Floyd | Bzattt! Blam! Blam! Two misses and a hit is as good as anything! Floyd | "ARRGH!" it cries. "What's weird is how straightforward that was." Floyd | Floyd | The shape-shifting alien saboteur is vaporized! Floyd | Floyd | > | ||

Floyd ] Ship's Bridge 0/10 Floyd | Floyd | > X HELM Floyd | Floyd | Looks like you can either push the purple button and go through the Floyd | wormhole, or the blue button and get the hell out of here and back to Floyd | your home planet. Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "purple or blue?" | |

Floyd ] Ship's Bridge 0/10 Floyd | Floyd | > PUSH PURPLE Floyd | Floyd | You push the purple button. The ship banks hard into the vortex, and Floyd | all of space and time collapse into a singularity and stretch you like Floyd | spaghetti and then spit you out in a space station that floats among Floyd | asteroids. Floyd | Floyd | After docking, you clamber out to find yourself staring at an army of Floyd | weird mysterious shape shifting space creatures who gurgle and grakk Floyd | at you. Translation: "Kill the space infiltrator! Raarggh!!" Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | *** They really aren't very friendly, these guys *** Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | In that game you scored 0 out of a possible 0, in 10 turns.

Floyd | Within hours, you return to the peaceful blue sphere that is your Floyd | homeworld. You land your mangled ship at the spaceport, and are Floyd | surrounded by reporters who want to know all about your adventure, and Floyd | what happened. Floyd | Floyd | "Be warned, all of you -- they're coming! They're already here!" And Floyd | then you shape-change into a freaky monster and start killin" Floyd | everyone.

Floyd ] Flight Deck Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | The intercom crackles to life: "Starbase EZ-99 to Centennial Crow... Floyd | your mission, should you choose to accept it, which we trust you will Floyd | since otherwise you and your crew will be out of a job... is to Floyd | deliver PZ-12 to Earth... in the year 1990... Failure is not an Floyd | option." Floyd | Floyd | Interstellar Pizza Brigade Floyd | An Interactive Fiction by Peregrine Wade Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 161016 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.33 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | Flight Deck Floyd | The endlessness of outer space stretches out through the vast, Floyd | translucent plasma shield that serves as a viewing window. The flight Floyd | deck itself would be a marvel of technology, were it not for all the Floyd | wires and panels that have clearly been haphazardly arranged. The only Floyd | exit is aft. Floyd | Floyd | Captain Arnold - an obese, pale-blond man with a preposterous mustache Floyd | - is reclining in the back of his captainly chair once again, one hand Floyd | glued to his chin. He looks very much like a caricature of those Floyd | starship captains from the old VR shows (such as "Intergalactic Floyd | Warmongering: The Series" and other suchlike corny things.) Floyd | Floyd | A hologram stands in pride of place next to the captain, ready to Floyd | answer whatever questions the captain may have (provided that they Floyd | have nothing to do with the number 42, that is.) Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x me" | ||
Floyd ] Flight Deck Floyd | > Floyd | > X ME Floyd | Floyd | You are Anne Walken, Emergencies Specialist, assigned to the Floyd | spacecraft Centennial Crow for a period of up to (and potentially Floyd | including) five years, plus time dilation. So far, the only emergency Floyd | requiring your expertise was when there was that nasty toilet paper Floyd | shortage, and that was nine months ago. It is fairly safe to say that Floyd | you are a wee bit bored. Your previous job was much more exciting, Floyd | since (among other things) it involved fighting off giant space Floyd | monsters, dealing with spaceship crews going on strike (all you needed Floyd | to use was an instant cloning machine, it turned out), and other Floyd | suchlike things. Floyd | Floyd | The captain yawns. "I can't seem to stay awake, Walken. And this is Floyd | one tricky maneuver to make... Steering a ship between an exploding Floyd | star and a supermassive black hole ain't a piece of cake." Floyd | Floyd | > | Jacqueline asks, "Was female protagonist a prompt?" | |
| Peregrine says, "Nope" | ||
| DavidW says, "How's 60s. He wants us to get him a coffee." | ||
| Jacqueline says, "Cool." | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "i" | ||
Floyd ] Flight Deck Floyd | > Floyd | > I Floyd | Floyd | You are carrying: Floyd | a ray gun Floyd | Floyd | The captain looks like he can barely steer the ship with his Floyd | brainwaves. Not that his brainwaves were much to talk about, in the Floyd | first place.. Floyd | Floyd | > | ||
| DavidW says (to Floyd), "x hologram" | ||
Floyd ] Flight Deck Floyd | > Floyd | > X HOLOGRAM Floyd | Floyd | The hologram's artificial intelligence is somewhat artificial. Hence Floyd | it is somewhat appropriate that he looks like a bodybuilder. In order Floyd | to address issues of extraterrestrial discrimination, it was decided Floyd | that he should have green skin. Floyd | Floyd | The captain yawns. "Walken, get me some coffee. That'll be helpful." Floyd | Floyd | > | DavidW asks, "Shall we go aft and find the proverbial coffee dispenser?" | |

The Tube - a great Floyd | column of technological wizardry - rises from the floor, and stretches Floyd | all the way up to the ceiling above.
