Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| The stars whorl sickeningly as you commence your attack on the capital Floyd \| ship. You slide into a long downward spiral in an attempt to evade Floyd \| enemy fire. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "note"
Floyd \| Ivan's notes here. Floyd \| Floyd \| Your ship lurches beneath the incessent concussion of nearby Floyd \| explosions. You look for the object of your attack. There it is; a Floyd \| mammoth gun that spits flaming blue bile at your harried forces. Floyd \| Floyd \| >		Jacqueline asks, "Did he ... forget to put in his notes?"
		DavidW says, "He did forget."
		Jacqueline says, "heh"
		Knight_Otu asks, "For this scene, or at all?"
		Jacqueline says, "dunno"
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "x me"
Floyd \| You find yourself to be curiously indistinct, almost ethereal. Floyd \| Floyd \| You ignore the persistent flash of smaller guns. Eyes locked on the Floyd \| bore of that gaping maw, you can only watch in horror as it powers up Floyd \| for another volley. Wisps of energy leap and crackle about its rim in Floyd \| a deadly nimbus. Floyd \| Floyd \| >		Jacqueline says, "I don't believe I've ever played Sea of Night, either."
		DavidW says, "Sea of Night involves finding yourself on a strange alien ship."
		wordsmith says, "As usual, DW has played and created a walkthrough."
		DavidW says, "My description of Sea of Night is: \| You play as a cargo driver of a one-person spaceship, The Shooting Star. While en route to Io, your ship collides with something and you crash inside the landing bay of an alien ship. Your future is about to change."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x gun"
Floyd \| It's huge. From where you sit, it looks large enough to swallow Floyd \| planets. It crackles with blue fire. Floyd \| Floyd \| "Captain!" shouts an unstrung voice. The gun roils on towards full Floyd \| potential as you continue your deep, lazy slide. Tiny warrior craft Floyd \| buzz angrily in your wake, adding to the constant barrage of stinging Floyd \| fire. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "shoot gun"
Floyd \| I don't know the word "shoot". Floyd \| Floyd \| >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "enter gun"
Floyd \| I don't know how to enter the enemy gun. Floyd \| Floyd \| The great maw bubbles like a cauldron, brimming over with luminous Floyd \| energy. "Captain! We've been acquired!" As if in confirmation, a Floyd \| well aimed shot impacts your aft shields. The resulting blast nearly Floyd \| rocks you from your seat, but you remain locked on course. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "i"
Floyd \| You have: Floyd \| Nothing Floyd \| Floyd \| Fire from the pursuing craft intensifies, battering you beneath a Floyd \| series of well aimed blasts. "Captain! Shields are down!" Critical Floyd \| systems overload, erupting in dark clouds of acrid smoke. "Captain! Floyd \| Thrusters gone!" Floyd \| Floyd \| >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x seat"
Floyd \| I don't know the word "seat". Floyd \| Floyd \| >
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "attack"
Floyd \| What do you want to attack? Floyd \| Floyd \| >
Jacqueline says (to Floyd), "maw"
Floyd \| There seems to be no reason to do that. Floyd \| Floyd \| You stare down into the gravid blue pit that fills your screen and Floyd \| scream, "Now! Fire all weapons!" The ship rattles as it expels its Floyd \| lethal payload. You watch as the missiles blaze like burning comets Floyd \| toward the icy bowels of hell. Floyd \| Floyd \| >		Jacqueline says, "That seems promising"
		DavidW says, "Perhaps this intro section happens no matter what we type."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "z"
Floyd \| Time passes... Floyd \| Floyd \| And hell answers back, bathing you in heavenly blue radiance. Floyd \| Floyd \| "Captain! Captaaaain!" Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| [Hit any key to continue.]

Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Floyd \| Captain's Quarters, on your sleeping platform Floyd \| Though there's little to define it as such, this chamber comprises your Floyd \| quarters. A sleeping platform extends from one wall. Against another Floyd \| is a small pedestal on which rests an ornate prayer box. To the east, Floyd \| a closed iris leads to the next chamber. Floyd \| Floyd \| You wake groggily, the fear of your dream still shifting in your belly Floyd \| like a dollop of hot mercury. Floyd \| Floyd \| "Captain." Floyd \| Floyd \| >		Knight_Otu says, "Seems so."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "stand"
Floyd \| Okay, you're no longer in your sleeping platform. Floyd \| Floyd \| A voice from everywhere and nowhere asks, "Were you dreaming, Captain?" Floyd \| It is Star. Floyd \| Floyd \| "Yes, Star," you say. "I was dreaming of the Sharush again." The Floyd \| Sharush, whose captain flew straight into the maw of the beast so that Floyd \| we might escape, you think. Floyd \| Floyd \| >		wordsmith says, "This should be more interactive now."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x box"
Floyd \| This ornate prayer box has been in your family for generations. It was Floyd \| carved with exquisite craftsmanship from a single block of ironwood. Floyd \| The doors, which display a pair of fierce guardians, are shut. Floyd \| Floyd \| "I am sorry to have awakened you, Captain, but your presence is Floyd \| urgently required in the navigation chamber." Floyd \| Floyd \| The specifics of your dream flee as you gradually become more alert, Floyd \| leaving you with a lingering sense of dread. Floyd \| Floyd \| >		Jacqueline says, "Wait, but I did tell it to attack the maw."
		Jacqueline says, "That was interactive"
		wordsmith says, "illusion"
		Jacqueline says, "oh"
		wordsmith says, "I think"
		wordsmith exclaims, "Good timing, though!"
		Knight_Otu says, "Yeah."
Jacqueline shrugs.		Jacqueline says, "oops."
DavidW says (to Floyd), "east"
Floyd \| The iris squelches open, and you step through it to the central hall. Floyd \| Floyd \| Central Hall Floyd \| The vibrations of Star's heart are strong here, though not as strong as Floyd \| usual, and very irregular. Constant tremors run through the floor, and Floyd \| the walls are unusually reddish in hue. The corridor continues both to Floyd \| the north and south, and there are sealed irises leading into the walls Floyd \| to east and west. Floyd \| Floyd \| >		Jacqueline shrugs
DavidW says (to Floyd), "n"
Floyd \| North Junction Floyd \| This area is identical to the South Junction. Ladders lead down Floyd \| circular tunnels to the east and west, though each tunnel is obstructed Floyd \| by a sealed iris. The main corridor continues to the north and south. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "n"
Floyd \| North Hallway Floyd \| This part of the corridor is exceptionally narrow. The walls are a Floyd \| very pale pink, almost to the point of being white. The corridor Floyd \| continues to the south and ends in some kind of iris to the north. Floyd \| Floyd \| Star's voice reaches you from no specific point to say, "Captain, Floyd \| please report to the navigation chamber. Your presence is urgently Floyd \| required". Floyd \| Floyd \| >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "n"
Floyd \| The iris squelches open, and you step inside, finding another one just Floyd \| ahead. The first iris closes, and then the second one opens. A bit Floyd \| bemused, you step through into the room beyond. Floyd \| Floyd \| Torus Room Floyd \| Hanging in the air is an enormous torus. The walls here are a very Floyd \| pale white, almost green. The odor of Star's digestive tract is nearly Floyd \| overwhelming here. An iris blocks the corridor leading south. Floyd \| Floyd \| >		DavidW asks, "I don't know if this is the navigation chamber, but maybe?"
		Jacqueline asks, "What's a torus?"
		Jacqueline googles.
		wordsmith says, "like a donut"
		DavidW says, "Donut shaped."
		Knight_Otu says, "A donut sdhape"
		wordsmith says, "or a bagel"
		Jacqueline says, "ah"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "sit on torus"
Floyd \| I don't know how to sit on the torus. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "x torus"
Floyd \| Looking closer, you see a small half-twist in the torus near the top, Floyd \| making this object a mobius strip. The hole in its center is nearly Floyd \| two meters in diameter. Nothing is visible through the hole except Floyd \| inky blackness. Floyd \| Floyd \| Star's voice reaches you from no specific point to say, "Captain, Floyd \| please report to the navigation chamber. Your presence is urgently Floyd \| required". Floyd \| Floyd \| >		DavidW says, "ok, maybe this isn't the right chamber"
		wordsmith says, "Klein bottle, maybe. (3D Moebius strip)."
		Knight_Otu says, "That would be easier if we knew where, Star."
		Jacqueline says, "seems not"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "s"

DavidW says (to Floyd), "w"
Floyd \| Star says, "I am sorry, Captain, but I have sealed off my non-critical Floyd \| extremities in order to preserve life support at my core." Floyd \| Floyd \| Star's voice reaches you from no specific point to say, "Captain, Floyd \| please report to the navigation chamber. Your presence is urgently Floyd \| required". Floyd \| Floyd \| >		Jacqueline asks, "can we >go to navigation ?"
		Jacqueline says, "Probably not. It was the 90s"
		wordsmith exclaims, "You'd think the captain would know the layout of his/her own ship!"
DavidW says (to Floyd), "go to navigation"
Floyd \| I don't understand that sentence. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
DavidW says (to Floyd), "e"

Floyd \| The iris squelches open, and you step through it to the navigation Floyd \| chamber. Floyd \| Floyd \| Navigation Chamber Floyd \| Though Star can be helmed by less traditional means, the navigation Floyd \| deck offers a more standardized command interface. A semi-circular Floyd \| console sweeps the large chamber, encrusted with odd but recognizeable Floyd \| controls, and is accessible from a gimbal mounted chair. The forward Floyd \| wall of the chamber consists of a thick membrane that can be set to Floyd \| varying degrees of opacity.

Floyd \| Floyd \| The console is inhabited by Nu-Banda, your Uru-Sha-Iltanu. She Floyd \| expertly manuevers the chair along its track, reading a gauge here, Floyd \| adjusting a dial there. Floyd \| Floyd \| >		Knight_Otu says, "Psh, knowledge is overrated."

Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "x console"
Floyd \| The navigation console is one of a small few concessions to traditional Floyd \| human design. You recognize the majority of its controls and feedback Floyd \| from long standing experience with standard space craft. Also apparent Floyd \| are some strange elements unique to Star. Much of the console's Floyd \| functionality is redundant, as Star can be communicated with through Floyd \| more efficient means, and is largely self-monitoring. However, the nav Floyd \| console was included in the event that Star's central mentality should Floyd \| be damaged or incapacitated - a decision that has already proven its Floyd \| merit.

Floyd \| South Junction Floyd \| Ladders lead down circular tunnels to the east and west.

Floyd \| You walk up to the east ladder, and then climb down it. Floyd \| Floyd \| Medical Bay Floyd \| A ladder leads upwards out of this spacious room. The room is Floyd \| dominated by the med tank, filled with Star's vital fluids. There is Floyd \| also a reddish tube hanging from the ceiling. The floor here, besides Floyd \| the pool, is a hard, glossy black. Floyd \| Floyd \| Lying submerged in the tank is Gar-Du, your Dumu-Sal-Aga. She was Floyd \| severely wounded in the recent battle.

Floyd \| Floyd \| Star says, "Sickbay operational." Floyd \| Floyd \| >
Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "x walls"
Floyd \| The walls are pinkish and oily with Star's vital fluids, right up until Floyd \| they reach the black, shiny floor, which is perfectly dry. Floyd \| Floyd \| >

Knight_Otu says (to Floyd), "x sal-me"
Floyd \| Sal-Me is your ship's Ba-Ha-Ru, or Prophetess, whose role it is to aid Floyd \| the crew in spirital matters. Her scarlet robes are torn and bloodied, Floyd \| and she bears the signs of physical exhaustion. So far as you know, Floyd \| she has not left Gar-Du's side since her immersion in the pool. Were Floyd \| she not Gar-Du's Hala Si-Il, or spiritual partner, you would have Floyd \| commanded her to bed many hours ago. Floyd \| Floyd \| >

Floyd \| Gar-Du is your Dumu-Sal-Aga, or First Officer. You wince at the sight Floyd \| of her naked, wounded form. Though you know she is in the nurturing Floyd \| care of the healing bath, she appears unpleasantly lifeless. The Floyd \| injuries she sustained in the battle were extreme. It's a wonder she Floyd \| has survived them this long. Floyd \| Floyd \| >
