Floyd ] Aquarium Score: 0 Floyd ] Amelia Derringer Moves: 2 Floyd | > Floyd | > ANSWER PHONE Floyd | Floyd | Good afternoon, Owl. Or good morning, evening, or night, since I Floyd | shouldn't care to hazard a guess as to your time zone. Floyd | Floyd | But be that as it may. It is I, Amelia Derringer! I flatter myself to Floyd | think that you may have heard of me; I'm the infamous thief who has Floyd | been delighting and terrorizing England for three years now. As you Floyd | undoubtedly know, I'm no ordinary sneak-thief. I became a cat burglar Floyd | after acquiring an uncanny ability to shape-shift. All I need to do is Floyd | eat a bit of an animal, and I can harness some small fraction of its Floyd | special powers. It's served me well in my many successful burglaries, Floyd | and I've acquired a reputation as a master thief, along with a lot of Floyd | other people's money. Floyd | Floyd | But now I'm in a bit of a pickle, you know. Here I am, suspended in a Floyd | cage over a slavering octopus. It's not something that would Floyd | ordinarily confound me, of course, but I'm afraid I've mislaid my bag Floyd | of thief tools---or rather, I had it mislaid for me by one of Rex Floyd | Dashing's confounded robots. If it's not too much of a bother, would Floyd | you be so kind as provide some sort of advice? I'd rather like to Floyd | escape this cage, make my way through the airship, and help myself to Floyd | a few cuttings of the Telepathic God-Slug of Madagascar. My research Floyd | indicates that Rex Dashing keeps its body somewhere about his airship. Floyd | Floyd | Aquarium (in the steel cage) Floyd | As cliché as it is, I'm trapped in a cage being slowly lowered into a Floyd | tank. This particular tank is at least occupied by a vicious octopus Floyd | rather than a horde of piranhas or sharks, which I suppose is at least Floyd | mildly original. There is a prominent red button on the wall here, Floyd | tantalizingly out of reach. There's also an exit south and a trapdoor Floyd | overhead, though neither one is going to be useful to me until I get Floyd | out of this accursed cage. Floyd | Floyd | One of the tentacles of that dratted beast is slurping over the edge Floyd | of the cage! I trust you have something clever in mind.

Floyd |
Floyd | With my newfound rubberiness, I think I should be able to slip through
Floyd | the bars. Let me just twist...and...
Floyd |
Floyd | Capital! I've just squeezed through the bars and gracefully
Floyd | somersaulted onto the ground below. It's a shame you couldn't have
Floyd | seen it, Owl; it really was a magnificent feat of dexterity.
Floyd |
Floyd | Now that the immediate threat has passed, I should elaborate on my
Floyd | mission. I managed to sneak about the Mephistopheles in order to steal
Floyd | the elusive Telepathic God-Slug of Madagascar, a rare creature whose
Floyd | secretions have an intense pacifying effect on anyone who comes into
Floyd | contact with them. If I obtained the slug and ate it---just a nibble,
Floyd | mind you, not enough to kill it---then I could use my shapeshifting
Floyd | powers to harness that effect for myself. The Slug has no loftier
Floyd | ambitions for its power than confusing predators, but I plan to use it
Floyd | to establish a new world of peace and cooperation. With the power to
Floyd | affect the psychology of a few chosen leaders of industry and
Floyd | government, I could eliminate war entirely and bring about a pacifist
Floyd | utopia over which I have complete control---to the best possible ends,
Floyd | of course.
Floyd |
Floyd | That was the idea, anyway. While I was bantering with Dashing over
Floyd | dinner, I accidentally tipped my hand. I don't think he ever realized
Floyd | the significance of the God-Slug; to him, it was just another trophy
Floyd | from his adventures. He figured out I was up to something, though, and
Floyd | had his robots drag me down here and---well, you know the rest.
Floyd |
Floyd | I need your help, Owl, to complete my mission. I want to find the
Floyd | God-Slug of Madagascar and safely escape the ship. I was told that
Floyd | you're the best in the business. Let's see what you can do.

As enjoyable as it is to whoosh through Floyd | the air, though, I have a mission to complete. Once I'm back on the Floyd | airship and out of the clutches of my treacherous robots, I'll explain Floyd | in a bit more detail. Let me gently land on the main deck... Floyd | Floyd | Excellent! Disregard the crash you may have heard, Owl; that was just Floyd | me gently brushing up against a bookcase during my VICTORY DANCE on Floyd | having accomplished such a perfect landing. And no, there is of course Floyd | no bookcase on the main deck of the ship. Instead, I used my Floyd | SPECTACULAR INTELLECT to reroute to a side room off the main deck Floyd | because...well, to gain the element of surprise. My plan is running Floyd | smoothly and COMPLETELY ACCORDING TO PLAN. Floyd | Floyd | Ah, yes, my plan. I'm sure you've been wondering, Owl, how a feckless Floyd | idiot like Dashing could have such a technical marvel at his disposal. Floyd | He didn't design or build it himself, of course; this is MY AIRSHIP. Floyd | This is MY SHIP, MY ROBOTS, and MY NUCLEAR REACTOR. The last point is Floyd | the most important one. Dashing stole my airship and has been trying Floyd | to pass it off as its own, but that won't do him any good if it's Floyd | destroyed in a FIERY NUCLEAR EXPLOSION. My plan is to sabotage the Floyd | reactor and destroy the ship, then safely escape. That way, I can Floyd | challenge him to rebuild it; it would be easy for him if he truly Floyd | designed it in the first place. He didn't, of course, and I can expose Floyd | his perfidy and incompetence when I rebuild my PERFECT AIRSHIP. Then Floyd | the world will be laughing at the ridiculous "Captain" Dashing, and I Floyd | will use my rebuilt ROBOT ARMY to crush him and then crush the WORLD! Floyd | Floyd | It is, of course, a perfect plan; now I just need to carry it out. As Floyd | you undoubtedly know, I possess an uncanny immunity to radiation, Floyd | which helps me immensely as a NUCLEAR SCIENTIST. My main ability, Floyd | though is my amazing intelligence. I've been told, Owl, that you are Floyd | the only person capable of matching my own staggering intellect. Let's Floyd | see what you can do.

Guenni Turns ears in David's direction. | ||
DavidW says, "I, um, broke down and peeked at the hints to find out how to get past where we were stuck, then... I continued locally in the game and finished it." | ||
Guenni says, "So spill. :-)" | ||
DavidW says, "Well, you were right that we needed to focus on the reactor instead of the flask, but we were both wrong about how the klaxon worked." | ||
Guenni asks, "So how do you shut it up?" | ||
DavidW says, "The klaxon button turns off the alarm when it is shrieking. It has no ability to disable the thing ahead of time." | ||
Guenni says, "Ah." | ||
DavidW says, "So the real issue is to keep Radon away from the reactor door while Amelia is unlocking it." | ||
Guenni asks, "Hmm, the radio room wasn't enough. So what helps?" | ||
DavidW says, "Then Amelia can push the button as soon as possible afterwards before Radon can do anything." | ||
DavidW says, "Actually the radio room was enough if you time it right." | ||
Guenni says, "Oh, this one is timed after all." | ||
DavidW says, "You need to have Amelia start unlocking as soon as possible after Radon is yakking into the microphone." | ||
Guenni nods. | ||
DavidW says, "He'll hear the alarm, but his ego won't let him investigate with his big rant unfinished." | ||
Guenni asks, "So what's in the flask?" | ||
DavidW says, "The god-slug, of course. That was obvious." | ||
Guenni says, "I admit I had mostly forgotten that one. But yes." | ||
DavidW says, "Radon calls the flask a 'dewar', by the way, if it matters." | ||
DavidW says, "You were also right that the reactor has the heat for melting the ice on the flask." | ||
Guenni asks, "The flask also messes up the reactor?" | ||
DavidW says, "No, the flask doesn't harm it and the reactor doesn't harm the flask." | ||
Guenni asks, "So how do you destroy the ship?" | ||
DavidW says, "By following Radon's plan of making the reactor go critical. It's easy enough. He just needs to raise the rods out of the reactor pool." | ||
DavidW says, "Three turns later, the emergency alarms go off, telling everyone to evacuate." | ||
Guenni says, "Ok, I guess thet's something you see when you see it. :-)" | ||
Guenni asks, "So pulling the lever, using the ladder and be done?" | ||
DavidW says, "Almost. You still need to get both people off the ship." | ||
Guenni says, "I thought via the ladder." | ||
DavidW says, "The ladder goes to the balloon above the ship, but the balloon doesn't detach." | ||
Guenni asks, "So they-'ll have to work together in the end after all?" | ||
DavidW says, "Nope." | ||
DavidW says, "There's thing in the reactor I haven't mentioned that will help." | ||
DavidW says, "er things" | ||

Guenni asks, "Oh, I hadn't read your last line amongst the game text. Is it just a matter of eating the slime later?" | ||
DavidW says, "Yes. Jump, then eat it." | ||
DavidW says, "And wait." | ||
Guenni says, "-rolls eyes." | ||
DavidW says, "Then you also have to get Radon off the ship, though." | ||
Guenni asks, "More complicated than just jumping off with switched on jetpack?" | ||
DavidW says, "No." | ||
Guenni says, "But I take it she has to go first?" | ||
DavidW says, "But you push the button later after it's bright." | ||
DavidW says, "I don't know if she has to go first or not. I had her go first, but I didn't try him going first." | ||
Guenni says, "Oh, another one for headdesk marriage." | ||
DavidW says, "If you like, I could drive to the end." | ||
Guenni says, "No, I think there'll be some club floytding for the unfinished game anyway." | ||
DavidW says, "okay" | ||
Guenni says, "I'll watch/nudge then. :-)" | ||
Guenni says, "But thanks for the offer." | ||
