ClubFloyd Transcript:
Galaxy Jones by Phil Riley
Marie Waits by Dee Cooke
As played on ifMUD on April 16-23, 2023

The idea behind ClubFloyd is that each week at a pre-arranged time, a group of people meet online to cooperatively play a game of interactive fiction.

Below is a transcript of Galaxy Jones written by Phil Riley, and Marie Waits written by Dee Cooke. These games were entrants in the Main Festival of the 2023 Spring Thing. You can learn more about the games, including how to download them, by visiting the IFDB pages: Galaxy Jones and Marie Waits.


WARNING! Below you will find a transcript of people playing these games, and it goes without saying that the transcript is full of spoilers. So, if you've never played these games, and think you might like to at some point, I do not recommend reading any further. Instead, you might want to return to the interactive fiction page.

CF | Would you like to play with accessibility on? (recommended for mobile)
CF | > DavidW asks, "uh, what does that mean, exactly, game?"
Knight_Otu says, "I suspect we can't use accessibility functions."
DavidW asks, "But what are accessibility functions?"
Knight_Otu asks, "Could be text to speech, high contrast, large lettering?"
DavidW says, "Like, we are handicapped in that we can't see pictures or hear sound effects."
Knight_Otu says, "True."
Lancelot has arrived. DavidW says, "So I wish this question was worded better."
Lancelot says, "hi"
DavidW asks, "I suppose answer 'no' and hope for the best?"
DavidW says, "hi, Lancelot."
Knight_Otu says, "Hey."
Knight_Otu says, "With any luck, it can be switched in-game if it turns out to be needed."
Lancelot says, "sorry to be late was busy past few weeks"
DavidW says (to Lancelot), "I just loaded up Galaxy Jones and was stumped by the game asking if we want to 'play with accessibility'."
DavidW says (to Knight), "yeah. Let's hope so."
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "no"

CF | -----------------------------------------------------------------
CF |
CF | The phone rings. Galaxy Jones, the solar system's greatest hero, rolls
CF | over in bed and presses the talk button.
CF |
CF | "Yes?" she says in a voice thick with sleep.
CF |
CF | "Hello, is this Galaxy Jones?" comes the voice from the speaker.
CF |
CF | "Yes, this is she. To whom am I speaking?"
CF |
CF | "Oh, hi, Ms Jones. This is Patty, I work for Admiral P. X. Thallium,
CF | CEO of Diversified Entanglements, LLC. He asked me to forward a
CF | message to you."
CF |
CF | "He did, did he? Now what would the Admiral want to say to me?"
CF |
CF | "Oh, it's not from the Admiral himself. It's from one Miss Europa
CF | Callisto. I must say, the Admiral was quite surprised when I said I
CF | didn't know who she is. Apparently she's famous."
CF |
CF | "Yes, quite famous, but why would she send a message to me, and why on
CF | Mars would she send it through Thallium? But never mind, what's the
CF | message?"
CF |
CF | Patty can be heard rustling paper. "Let's see... it's here somewhere.
CF | Oh yes, here it is. The message is 'Help.'"
CF |
CF | [continue] Lancelot says, "I think we should be able to play it, looks like a parser type of game"
DavidW says, "That wasn't the issue."
Lancelot says, "ah ok"
Lancelot says, "I do know it shows some graphics"
DavidW says, "'accessibility' is extremely vague."
DavidW pushes the green 'space' button.
CF | [continue]Ten minutes later, Galaxy Jones, in her speeder Galaxy One,
CF | races across the desolate expanse of Utopia Planitia, Mars. Her
CF | nemesis, the thoroughly execrable Admiral Thallium, has taken hostage
CF | the exquisite Europa Callisto, singer and actress renowned throughout
CF | a dozen solar systems. As Patty has quite helpfully explained, Miss
CF | Callisto is imprisoned at the top of the Viking Building in New
CF | Reykjavik, guarded by an impressive number of killer robots and other
CF | diabolical instruments of Jones's inevitable demise. The Admiral has
CF | most cordially invited Ms Jones to break into his building and attempt
CF | a rescue.
CF |
CF | "Oh I will," Galaxy mutters to herself. This time, she vows silently,
CF | Thallium won't escape.
CF |
CF | Plus she'll get to meet Europa Callisto. That'll be totally sweet.
CF |
CF | [continue] Knight_Otu says, "Well."
Lancelot says, "I know this one, played it last friday lol :p"
DavidW pushes the green 'space' button.

CF | An Interactive Rescue Mission by Phil Riley
CF | Release 5 / Serial number 230401 / Inform 7 build 6M62 (I6/v6.34 lib
CF | 6/12N)
CF |
CF |
CF | A sleek dark red speeder roars into the dock of the Viking Building. A
CF | tall woman in a battle-ready jumpsuit and carrying a disruptor pistol
CF | climbs out of it: Galaxy Jones.
CF |
CF | Galaxy Jones is in the speeder dock. A safe harbor from the
CF | periodic dust storms of Utopia Planitia, the dock features several
CF | dozen speeder bays. Only a few are filled right now. The building
CF | entryway is to the north, under a red stone façade carved into the
CF | likeness of a fearsome Viking.
CF |
CF | Jones's speeder, Galaxy One, sits in one of the parking bays.
CF |
CF | Jones's handler Beck comes over her headset. "Alright, what's
CF | going on?"
CF |
CF | She replies, "I'm in the speeder dock. No movement. What can I
CF | expect inside?"
CF |
CF | "Blueprints show the ground floor is one big empty space with
CF | elevators in the center. Not a lot of places for resistance to hide,
CF | but you can never tell. Be careful.
CF |
CF | "And one other thing, Jones: if you need help you can ASK
CF | BECK FOR HELP. You can also ASK BECK ABOUT
CF | things or ASK BECK ABOUT GAME for more information
CF | about the game. Finally, you can cause help to repeat from the
CF | beginning by saying ASK BECK TO RESET HELP"
CF |

Knight_Otu says, "The continue thing did deform it a bit, sadly."
Lancelot says, "don't worry it will be back :D"

Lancelot says, "I have to agree, I would expect some stealth like lockpicks etc at least"
DavidW says, "No skeleton keys, no grappling hooks, no poison pills, no pet treats, no flashlight, nothing but a pistol this time."
Knight_Otu says, "Hacking tools, too."
DavidW says, "oh, we also have Beck to advise us. I guess that's something."
Lancelot says, "Galaxy Jones is a superhero ... I'd say that if I were the author lol"

Knight_Otu says, "And yet only a kill pistol."
DavidW says, "y'see, I'd put laser beams in that Viking facade, or a camera. Something."
DavidW says, "So, do we just go north? Or talk to Becky some more first."

DavidW says, "TYPE and CLIMB are the only nonstandard ones there."

CF |
CF | Jones approaches the Viking Building entryway, the dramatic façade
CF | towering over her.
CF |
CF | Galaxy Jones is at the entry doorway. A glass revolving door
CF | leads into a large open space north of here. The speeder dock is to
CF | the south.
CF |
CF | Jones looks up at the 100 stories of glass and steel. "What do you
CF | want to bet Thallium's got Europa all the way at the top?"
CF |
CF | Beck: "Oh, no doubt."

CF |
CF | Jones passes through the revolving door and into the lobby, alert to
CF | any defenses.
CF |
CF | Galaxy Jones is in the lobby. The ground floor of the Viking
CF | Building is breathtaking. Low-G architecture means more glass and
CF | thinner supports, and the building takes advantage of that. Four walls
CF | of glass surround a central pillar in which are set the utility rooms
CF | and elevators. In between is an expanse of plants, water features, and
CF | stylish seating. Near the entryway is a front desk. A giant crystal
CF | sculpture floats above the center of the area, suspended on almost
CF | invisible cables. She may go east and west from here, north to the
CF | elevators, or south out of the building.

CF |
CF | A perfect shot! Yet, somehow, the robot is unscathed.
CF |
CF | Jones: "Target seems to be absorbing disruptor fire. This will
CF | make things a little harder."
CF |
CF | Beck: "Got it."
CF |
CF | The robots intone "Destroy Jones" in an eerie drone.

Knight_Otu says, "Also, typical, a kill pistol that doesn't work."

CF | elevators, or south out of the building. There are two niches in the
CF | central wall from which the guard robots emerged.
CF |
CF | Two guard robots, red and green, criss-cross the lobby, stalking her.
CF |
CF | Beck: "Robot on your right!"
CF |
CF | One robot tries to flank her, but a shot from her disruptor sends it
CF | scurrying back.

DavidW asks, "Should I just shoot the cables even though the robots are necessarily anywhere near the crystal?"
DavidW says, "er aren't"
DavidW says (to ClubFloyd), "shoot cables"
CF ] Lobby 1 of 10 points

CF | > SHOOT CABLES
CF |
CF | Jones fires the disruptor into the sculpture's main support cable,
CF | snapping it. The huge crystal blob starts to sag, straining the other
CF | cables. In quick succession they break as well, and the whole
CF | installation plummets to the ground, right on top of the hapless guard
CF | robots.

CF |
CF | Jones walks out onto the luxurious penthouse roof. Admiral
CF | Thallium turns from the railing to face her. He is dressed in an
CF | absurd elaboration of a Martian Admiral's uniform. He looks Jones up
CF | and down with a lecherous leer. "Ah, Galaxy Jones, as lovely as ever.
CF | If it weren't so unbearably cliché I'd ask you to join me in my rise
CF | to greatness. But alas, you are too habituated to the smug high of
CF | 'goodness'." He sighs dramatically. "We've trodden similar ground
CF | before; no need to discuss it further. Although I would challenge any
CF | of your various amoureux to conjugate 'tread'
CF | correctly.
CF |
CF | "Anyway, I guess this is the time where you do something
CF | predictably undignified and violent. Before you do I feel I should
CF | inform you that your sidearm has been rendered quite ineffective by my
CF | personal security field. But do go ahead and try it."
CF |
CF | Jones sneers. "I wouldn't give you the satisfaction," she says,
CF | looking around. "I see you don't have any of your robot pets up here.
CF | How are you going to stop me from rescuing Europa?"
CF |
CF | "Oh please, while we're trying things, try that too. I wish you
CF | luck breaking the silnium bars of the cage."
CF |
CF | "What's silnium?"
CF |
CF | "A superstrong material invented here in my Martian Chemical

CF |
CF | "Couldn't be bothered."
CF |
CF | "Oh for frotz sake, Jones, you're so frustrating!"
CF |
CF | Thallium turns his back on Jones and stares out over the
CF | city.
CF |
CF | Galaxy Jones is on the penthouse roof. It is an extravagant and
CF | opulent space, designed to showcase Thallium's wealth and power. Much
CF | of the rooftop is devoted to an outdoor lounge area, with comfortable
CF | seating and a fire pit, centered around a hot tub and flanked by a
CF | bar. All around is the city of New Reykjavik, and beyond that the red
CF | Martian landscape. Around the entirety of the roof is an electrostatic
CF | field designed to keep air in and particulates out. To the north is a
CF | large cage, and to the west is a landing pad. Jones can distantly see
CF | a woman lying on the floor of the cage. A green and black flyer sits
