Floyd | Floyd | I died, recently, and I'd prefer not to stay that way. I have two Floyd | hours of backup battery life left, if I hibernate. Can you help me? I Floyd | run a lab with people who can restore life, but they don't know that Floyd | I'm dead, and none of their resurrection projects are ready yet. Floyd | Floyd | You can help them. They must complete their projects before my Floyd | backup battery dies, or everything that's left of me will be gone. Floyd | I'll log you into the server right now. Floyd | Floyd | Thank you! Oh, and before I forget: Floyd | Floyd | My name is Dr. Law. | ||

I think it's absolutely deplorable. Floyd | Your throne is made from a ratty, dirty, foul-smelling cubicle that Floyd | you rescued from your first researcher job. Its very presence soils Floyd | the marble dais it rests on. Floyd | Floyd | Oh, right, the dark patch: a puddle of red liquid is trailing out from Floyd | under the cubicle.

The rug begins to spin, and the Floyd | armchairs open big, animatronic eyes and singing cushion-mouths. Floyd | Floyd | Power levels are rising to 100 jigawatts!

He says, "Dr. Spiel! You're supposed to Floyd | be cleaning the lab. Stop messing with the lobby!" He looks around, Floyd | but finds no one. He stalks to a bookcase, shoves it aside, revealing Floyd | a large, rusty metal switch. He pulls the metal switch, and everything Floyd | in the room powers down. He pushes back the bookcase, sighs, and walks Floyd | back to the other room. He closes the door behind him. Floyd | Floyd | This room is now wasting 0 jigawatts, Dr. Law.

In the center is a large, cleared Floyd | area. The clearing contains a gigantic ball of some metallic liquid, Floyd | hovering in the air. It seems the cloning machine is finished. You can Floyd | return to the living quarters to the south. Floyd | Floyd | A remote control lies on the trash, near the hidden speakers. Floyd | Floyd | The surface of the ball begins to bubble and smoke. A clone of Dr. Floyd | Spiel spills out. You hear a wet thud. Floyd | Floyd | Oh no, Dr. Law; Dr. Spiel seems to have had an accident with the Floyd | cloning machine again. The cloning machine is set on "repeat". The Floyd | actions of the clones indicate that it is set to a low Floyd | resolution--these are poor quality clones, Dr. Law. You'd better stop Floyd | this. Floyd | Floyd | The clone sees a plate of mac and cheese in the trash, and dives into Floyd | the clutter. Floyd | Floyd | > | Knight_Otu says, "It's not like we're in danger." | |

He removes Floyd | it, and inserts the new battery. Power levels increasing by 30 Floyd | jigawatts. Floyd | Floyd | -Dr. Singh pushes the rock candy into a resonance chamber. It does Floyd | very little. Power levels increasing by 5 jigawatts. Floyd | Floyd | -Dr. Singh screws on the lens to the end of the remote. It focuses Floyd | the signal by a miniscule amount. Power levels increasing by 5 Floyd | jigawatts. Floyd | Floyd | -The remote has reached a final power level of 60 Floyd | Jigawatts. Floyd | Floyd | Dr. Singh aims the remote at the machine and presses the button. The Floyd | remote is trembling and flashing, but the signal is too weak.

Floyd ] Command Center Floyd | > Floyd | > READ Floyd | Floyd | I'd like to acknowledge my three biggest influences for this game: Floyd | Hacker, by Activision; Portal, by Valve; and A Mind Forever Voyaging, Floyd | by Infocom. Floyd | Floyd | Hacker was a game that really intrigued me in elementary school; it Floyd | started as a password login screen on an old Apple II, and you had to Floyd | try to crack the password. I never got very far, but I'll always Floyd | remember that opening. Floyd | Floyd | Portal and GladOS are the main inspiration for my computer system Floyd | DaedalOS, although with less murderous intentions. Floyd | Floyd | A Mind Forever Voyaging takes the form of a computer system with Floyd | menus, and with different cameras accessible in a building, mixed with Floyd | some exploration and recording. It strongly influenced me. Floyd | Floyd | A few other games had direct influences. I copied the three-part Floyd | structure of Detectiveland because I liked how big it made the game Floyd | feel (other games have used this before, too, like The Edifice). Floyd | Floyd | The puzzles in this game were designed to represent my favorite types Floyd | of puzzles in Interactive Fiction, including the "zooming in" puzzles Floyd | found in Lime Ergot, Toby's Nose and Out of the Study; the giant desk Floyd | puzzles of The Reluctant Resurrectee; the optimization/scavenging Floyd | puzzles from Moments Out of Time, Captain Verdeterre's Plunder or the Floyd | original Adventure; the language puzzles from the Edifice and the Floyd | Gostak, and my own conversation puzzles in Color the Truth; the war Floyd | mech puzzle from The Duel that Spanned the Ages and the battle puzzles Floyd | in Gun Mute and Attack of the Robot Killer Yeti Zombies; the Floyd | reflection puzzle from Tookie's Song; the Babel fish puzzle from Floyd | Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; the entire game of Grandma Floyd | Bethlinda's Variety Box; and the presentations from the Art of Floyd | Misdirection and Fair. Floyd | Floyd | The rejuvenation pattern puzzle is, as far as I can recall, original. Floyd | The correct-sequence puzzle with Spiel's clones is an old class of Floyd | puzzle.

A young version of yourself steps off the platform. Floyd | Floyd | It looks at its body, then smiles and says, "The rejuvenator must have Floyd | worked! Thank you, Fred and Ginger." But they look confused, and I Floyd | must say, I feel confused myself, Dr. Law. Floyd | Floyd | Dr. Ng says, "Dr. Law, if you were dead, who was running the Floyd | presentation?" Floyd | Floyd | The young version of yourself says, pointing to the cameras, "A good Floyd | Samaritan ran into my distress call from my battery backup, and ended Floyd | up taking over my role for the day."

Floyd | didn't have me send over your daily cookie dough ice cream.The young
Floyd | Dr. Law goes on, saying, "I didn't anticipate that I would be this
Floyd | young"--Fred and Ginger look at each other and shrug--"But I'm excited
Floyd | at the chance to be alive again! And not just me"--Dr. Law removes the
Floyd | covering on the bier, revealing a cryogenically frozen Labrador--"but
Floyd | also Cerberus, for whom this company was founded."
Floyd |
Floyd | Young Dr. Law struggles to lift the dog from the bier, and carries it
Floyd | over to the rejuvenator. "Rejuvenate now!" says Dr. Law, but nothing
Floyd | happens. Fred reaches over and pushes a button. The rejuvenator
Floyd | flashes, and Cerberus is transformed into a young puppy.
Floyd |
Floyd | Cerberus the puppy licks young Dr. Law's face. Dr. Law turns to the
Floyd | camera and say, "Goodbye, good Samaritan! I have some catching up to
Floyd | do, so I'll let you go, but I just wanted to say, thank you." Dr. Law
Floyd | nods to the camera and says, "DaedalOS, show them to the door.
Floyd | Metaphorically speaking."

Floyd | Dr. Ng rummages around her gatherings and pulls out a small dog-shaped

Floyd |
Floyd | "Good boy!" says Dr. Law, rubbing Cerberus's back. Cerberus barks, and
Floyd | a small missile streaks from his mouth towards the ceiling and blasts
Floyd | a hole in the roof, sending everyone to the ground. It whines
