Floyd ] Laboratory 0/1 Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | Floyd | You're in trouble. Professor Hildebrand has not taken kindly to that F Floyd | on your latest Science test. Floyd | Floyd | And now here you are in the science lab, facing a small angry Floyd | professor, his beard literally bristling as he berates you in that Floyd | faint German accent you've come to know so well. Floyd | Floyd | "You do not listen," he shouts, flinging his arms into the air in Floyd | frustration, "it is as though you do not care at all about science!" Floyd | Floyd | He's right, of course. You don't. In fact, you're not really listening Floyd | even now. Up to the point he says "fail" and "expel". That's not good. Floyd | You probably should do something about that. Floyd | Floyd | "Gaah," says the professor, "I waste my time." He glances at his Floyd | watch, "I will be back in 15 minutes. Please do not leave the room Floyd | until I return. Then we shall see the principal together, yes?" Floyd | Waggling his finger, he leaves the Laboratory and closes the door Floyd | behind him. Floyd | Floyd | Fifteen Minutes Floyd | An Interactive Tight Spot by Ade McT Floyd | Release 1 / Serial number 140929 / Inform 7 build 6G60 (I6/v6.32 lib Floyd | 6/12N) Floyd | Floyd | Laboratory Floyd | The room is full of all sorts of equipment which might make sense if Floyd | you had read your textbooks.

Floyd |
Floyd | Rather like a deconstructed telephone booth. A complicated thing,
Floyd | indeed. On the side is written, in stencilled letters - Time machine:
Floyd | Prototype v1.01.
Floyd |
Floyd | On the front of the machine are: four switches in a line: (from left
Floyd | to right) a grey switch, a black switch a red switch and a green
Floyd | switch; a silver toggle; an array of dip-switches; a set of dials; and
Floyd | a go button. A sturdy handle sticks out of the side. Pasted to the
Floyd | sides are a page of intructions and a hazard warning sheet.
Floyd |
Floyd | The grey switch is set to nucleus. The black switch is set to
Floyd | harmonic. The red switch is set to ambivalent. The green switch is set
Floyd | to inflate. The silver toggle is set to off. The array of dip-switches
Floyd | is set to 0000.
Floyd | The minute dial is set to 0. The hour dial is set to 0.

Floyd |
Floyd | A piece of paper roughly stuck to the side of the machine, written in
Floyd | the Professor's scrawling handwriting:
Floyd |
Floyd | Rules for Time Travel.
Floyd |
Floyd | 1. DO NOT try and communicate with yourself. It only leads (has led)
Floyd | (will have lead (?tense??check?)) to trouble.
Floyd | 2. Once SEEN a thing CANNOT (has not) (will not) be (have (been))
Floyd | unseen!
Floyd | 3. Once DONE a thing MUST ALWAYS have been (will be) done!
Floyd | 4. The Universe is self consistent. There is only one of it.
Floyd | 6. Attempting to corrupt the timeline will (have) lead (led) to
Floyd | paradox paralysis.
Floyd | 7. Bootstrapping appears possible. Both information and things.
Floyd | 8. There is only one time stream. If time is a river, then IT WILL
Floyd | NOT be diverted.
Floyd | 9. Warning! The future is not yet created. More research needed here,
Floyd | I think.
Floyd | 10. The past is created in the now, and is immutable.
Floyd |
Floyd | A note scribbled underneath the list reads: "More? Which of these, if
Floyd | broken, will destroy (has already destroyed?) the universe? Must
Floyd | check."

It may be Floyd | distributed for free, but not sold or included in any for-profit Floyd | collection without written permission from the author. Floyd | Floyd | The vast proportion of the bug free gamplay is due to the rigorous Floyd | Beta testing of: Joseph Geipel, Airtamis, Katzy and Devi Acharya. Floyd | Also, thanks to the many folk on the intfiction.org forum who have Floyd | helped me through the inform7 learning curve. Floyd | Floyd | The game is written in Graham Nelson's most excellent Inform7 and Floyd | powered, at least in part, by the extensions of Emily Short. Floyd | Floyd | Thanks also to Robert Heinlein whose (to be honest, only partially Floyd | remembered) short story "By His Bootstraps" inspired this work.

Floyd |
Floyd | Well that's a small piece of your life you won't get back. Dr. Woolpak
Floyd | seems extremely passionate about science. You don't, however, feel
Floyd | particularly enlightened.
Floyd |
Floyd | In the few minutes it takes you to skim the chapter, all kinds of
Floyd | interesting stuff is going on in the room!
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | At 2:13 pm:
Floyd | To your consternation, a Second You appears with a waft of displaced
Floyd | air.
Floyd |
Floyd | At 2:14 pm:
Floyd | To your surprise, a Third You appears, in a slight wash of distended
Floyd | space.
Floyd | Second You undertakes several actions.
Floyd |
Floyd | At 2:15 pm:
Floyd | In what is becoming a little commonplace, a Fourth You appears, with a
Floyd | slight ripple in space/time.
Floyd | With a creak, a compartment hidden in the lab equipment opens. There
Floyd | seems to be a Fifth You in there!
Floyd | Second You dabbles about.
Floyd |
Floyd | At 2:16 pm:
Floyd | Third you looks round.
Floyd | Fifth You gets out of the secret compartment with some difficulty.
Floyd | Second You dabbles about in the immediate vicinity.
Floyd | Fourth You commits various feats.

Floyd | "It frustrates me that the minute dial still has quantum imprecision!
Floyd | Bah. I must refine the number of minutes with hard-coded switches. To
Floyd | represent a number to 60 minutes, I imagine a ternary system with four
Floyd | switches is required."
Floyd |
Floyd | Third you dawdles around the room.
Floyd | Second You, as if somewhat lost, commits particular exploits.
Floyd | Fourth You, seemingly a bit dazed, conducts different feats.
Floyd | Fifth You grabs the handle of the machine, furiously changes all the
Floyd | switches and with a soundless yawn of a collapsed space, disappears.
Floyd | He seems to be good at this. The machine resets itself with a whir of
Floyd | well-oiled gears.

Floyd |
Floyd | "Select the amount of time to travel. Seconds is not possible. The
Floyd | level of quantum imprecision is too imprecise."
Floyd |
Floyd | Third You meanders to the time machine and, with a practiced swagger,
Floyd | does something complicated to the controls before vanishing in a
Floyd | whoosh of disturbed molecules.
Floyd |
Floyd | Just before the machine resets itself, you have time to notice that
Floyd | the black, red and green switches were set to harmonic, negatron, and
Floyd | quantum respectively.
Floyd | Second You looks about the room.

Floyd |
Floyd | Sixth You undertakes particular deeds.
Floyd | OK. So this is getting complicated now. A Seventh You materialises

Floyd | Violence isn't the answer to this one.
Floyd |
Floyd | Sixth You commits different actions.
Floyd | Second You wanders over to the machine, clumsily and slowly sets the
Floyd | minute dial to 10, flicks the black switch to oscillate, switches the
Floyd | red switch to ambivalent, sets the green switch to string, changes the
Floyd | silver toggle to backwards, sets the array of dip-switches to 0010,
Floyd | grabs the handle, presses the go button and disappears with the slight
Floyd | pop of an imploding vacuum.

Floyd |
Floyd | With practiced brilliance, Sixth You fiddles with the controls of the
Floyd | time machine and vanishes unexpectedly with a crack of inward rushing
Floyd | atoms. You just notice that the array of dip-switches was set to 0100
Floyd | before the machine, with a hum and a cough, resets itself.
Floyd |
Floyd | With easy nonchalance, Fourth You grabs the handle of the machine,
Floyd | fiddles with the controls and, with a faint zephyr of emptiness
