CF \|
CF \| October, 2268. Two months sitting on the cold side of Mercury, using
CF \| battery power to stay in the shade, but the radar has failed to find
CF \| anything. Nothing to scavenge. Nothing to pay the bills. Satellites
CF \| make some of the best salvage. Any stuff you can pull off might have
CF \| value. But since you don't have enough to repair and refuel the
CF \| Kratos, you'll take whatever's out there.		Lancelot says, "on CF already hmm I do hope we are not playing something already played by CF"
		Jade says, "Check ifdb"
		DavidW says, "It's possible I uploaded it when it went onto the suggestion list. Possible that I was the suggestor, even. Sorry my memory isn't better."
		Jade says, "There is no CF transcript for Into the sun in ifdb"
		Lancelot says, "no transcript indeed"
		keltena says, "If CF plays a game and no one around remembers it, have they really played it? :\|a"
		Jade says, "I think this hasnt been played last year"
		DavidW says, "of course, it's possible we played it and the transcript isn't up yet. :) We can argue both sides!"
		gadzoks says, "There's quite a few games that have a transcript listed on the transcript page but not properly linked on ifDB."
		Jade says, "This is a 2022 game"
		gadzoks exclaims, "But if no one remembers it, it's like playing it again for the first time!"
gadzoks says (to ClubFloyd), "push space"
CF \| Kratos, you'll take whatever's out there.
CF \| Then something hits the radar, finally. And not a tiny blip like a
CF \| satellite, but a large return that shows a huge ship. Yes. Sitting in
CF \| the sun's blind spot might have paid off. It looks like a derelict.
CF \| Drifting, it seems the crew abandoned her. She's fair game this close
CF \| to the sun.		Jade says, "Yes, of course"
		keltena says, "Ooh, an abandoned spaceship. That always goes well :D"
		gadzoks asks, "Everyone here?"
gadzoks says (to ClubFloyd), "push space"
CF \| to the sun.
CF \| As you hook up to the docking tube, you look over the controls and
CF \| notice, as expected, that you are still drifting. It's time to loot
CF \| this vessel before you can't get out of the gravity well.

CF \| Forward Corridor - Deck B
CF \| Thick smoke makes it hard to see as you step into the corridor from
CF \| the airlock. Finally, your eyes adjust to the dim light. In front of
CF \| you is a body spread across the deck. Something cut him in half,
CF \| pulling his entrails out. The man is no longer alive, but an object
CF \| lies close to an outstretched hand.
CF \|
CF \| A cattle prod is just a few feet away from the dead body.

CF \|
CF \| Forward Corridor - Deck B
CF \| Thick smoke makes it hard to see the dead body spread across the deck
CF \| - guts ripped out by a heavy blow, now hardened in place. The dim
CF \| lights radiate an orange glow, bouncing off the smoke and reflecting a
CF \| pale color.
CF \|
CF \| Forward, the airlock will take you to your ship. To the aft, you can
CF \| head deeper into the derelict.
CF \|
CF \| A cattle prod is just a few feet away from the dead body.

CF \|
CF \| Looking closer at the body, it's really a skeleton whose flesh melted
CF \| off long ago. This man has been here for decades. Before he died, it
CF \| seems like he was reaching for the cattle prod but didn't make it.
CF \|

CF \|
CF \| > A
CF \|
CF \| You step around the body heading aft.
CF \|
CF \| Starboard Junction - Deck B
CF \| The haze is dense in this junction, making you think the air scrubbers
CF \| are blown for sure. This ship has coasted through space for a long
CF \| time. You wonder if the reactor could still be running or, knowing how
CF \| bad it can get on a vessel this old, leaking.
CF \|
CF \| You can go forward towards the airlock or port into the corridor.

CF \|
CF \|
CF \| Forward Companionway - Deck B
CF \| With the batteries running out, the lights in this section collide
CF \| with the smoke to create an orange glow. It gives the room an imagined
CF \| warmth, where there is none in space. The companionway is wide, with
CF \| an access panel on the forward bulkhead.
CF \|
CF \| A ladder well sits in the middle of the room while corridors spider
CF \| off from it, heading fore and starboard. The corridor aft has
CF \| collapsed.
CF \|
CF \| >		Jade says, "and Forward"

gadzoks says (to ClubFloyd), "x panel"
CF ] Forward Companionway - Deck B 0.1g
CF ] Exits: Fore, Starboard, Up, Down
CF \|
CF \| > X PANEL
CF \|
CF \| The access panel is recessed into the bulkhead. Behind it is the life
CF \| support system for the ship. Located here in the companionway, it gave
CF \| engineering easy access to the equipment.
CF \|
CF \| >		gadzoks asks, "Were there any verbs for using stuff like this?"
		keltena asks, "Fore?"

CF ] Science Corridor - Deck B 0.2g
CF ] Exits: Aft
CF \|
CF \| > F
CF \|
CF \|
CF \| Science Corridor - Deck B
CF \| This vessel is equipped with many sensors, covering everything from
CF \| gravimetric distortions to audio anomalies, and this corridor housed
CF \| all the monitoring stations for the science department. But an
CF \| explosion happened here, destroying the passage and blocking it when
CF \| the bulkheads collapsed. There's a hatch to port, but the blast broke
CF \| off the handle.
CF \|
CF \| Since you are boxed in like this, you can only go aft to the
CF \| companionway.
CF \|
CF \| >
gadzoks says (to ClubFloyd), "x hatch"

CF \|
CF \| The explosion did a number on everything in this hallway, scarring the
CF \| door and blowing off the handle. It doesn't look like there's an easy
CF \| way to open it.
CF \|
CF \| >		keltena asks (of gadzoks), "It suggested ENTER [X] INTO [Y]. It's possible we could also, idk, PUSH the panel or OPEN the bulkhead?"
		gadzoks says, "Maybe we can crowbar it."

CF ] Forward Companionway - Deck B 0.3g
CF ] Exits: Fore, Starboard, Up, Down
CF \|
CF \| > PUSH PANEL
CF \|
CF \| The access panel is sealed, and there's no need to get inside. You
CF \| don't have time to disassemble the ship. You need to loot what's
CF \| easily takeable.
CF \|

CF \| > UP
CF \|
CF \| Slowly you climb up the ladder well.
CF \|
CF \| Forward Companionway - Deck A
CF \| The smoke up here barely moves, with LEDs giving off a faint glow.
CF \| This companionway is a hub with rooms in all directions, but in the
CF \| middle, a coolant canister has been left behind.
CF \|
CF \| There's a ladder well that sits in the middle of the companionway. Two
CF \| rooms lie to port and starboard, and a corridor lies aft. While
CF \| forward, you can go deeper into the derelict.

CF ] Forward Companionway - Deck A 0.3g
CF ] Exits: Fore, Aft, Port, Starboard, Down
CF \|

CF \|
CF \| The coolant canister is a large cylinder, like a scuba tank, that

CF \|
CF \|
CF \| Hypersleep Vault - Deck A
CF \| This oval room has seven pods in the center, each facing inward and
CF \| open. The lights inside the compartments fail to work, making the room
CF \| darker than it should be. Except for the smoke, the space looks like
CF \| it's kept sanitized. Nothing litters the smooth edge of the walls.
CF \|
CF \| There's not a lot in this room besides the pods in the middle. So you
CF \| can exit to port.
CF \|
CF \| Hanging off one of the pods is a necklace sparkling in the amber
CF \| light.
CF \|
CF \| >
gadzoks says (to ClubFloyd), "x necklace"
CF ] Hypersleep Vault - Deck A 0.4g
CF ] Exits: Port
CF \|
CF \| > X NECKLACE
CF \|
CF \| A silver necklace hangs off one of the pods. It sways back and forth
CF \| as the ship drifts through space. It looks forgotten but has value.
CF \|
CF \| >		keltena says, "That seems like bait, but hey, let's take it"
		gadzoks says, "Was just gonna say that."
gadzoks says (to ClubFloyd), "get necklace"
CF ] Hypersleep Vault - Deck A 0.4g
CF ] Exits: Port
CF \|
CF \| > GET NECKLACE
CF \|
CF \| You take the necklace, putting it in the vortex bag.
CF \|
CF \| From somewhere on this deck, you hear the sound of wood being crushed
CF \| in another room. Like it snapped in half. Then metal being thrown
CF \| around? It's hard to tell. You have a feeling you're not alone.
CF \|
CF \| You hear something slithering towards the port side of the ship, like
CF \| an enormous snake looking for its next meal. But then, scratching with
CF \| claws? This can't be good.
CF \|
CF \| It's a short distance away. It's coming towards you.
CF \|
CF \| >		Lancelot says, "Its awake"
		keltena says, "ahahaha I didn't expect it to be THAT fast"
		gadzoks says, "Also feel free to take over if anyone thinks I'm too slow."
		DavidW says, "maybe taking a treasure is the trigger that awakens 'it'."

CF ] Hypersleep Vault - Deck A 0.4g
CF ] Exits: Port
CF \|
CF \| > ONLY ONE WAY TO GO, I GUESS!
CF \|
CF \| You seem to want to talk to someone, but I can't see whom.

gadzoks says (to ClubFloyd), "x pod"
CF ] Hypersleep Vault - Deck A 0.4g
CF ] Exits: Port
CF \|
CF \| > X POD
CF \|
CF \| You take a closer look at one of the pods. The cover has a clear
CF \| window built into it, so the person sleeping in the compartment can be
CF \| seen. Looking inside, you see some liquid lying on the bottom.
CF \|
CF \| You hear something slithering towards the port side of the ship. Near,
CF \| and it's coming towards you.
CF \|
CF \| >		keltena says, "Oh. I guess if they're full, we probably can't get in."
		keltena asks, "x liquid?"
		DavidW says, "Maybe the canister can be entered too."
gadzoks says (to ClubFloyd), "x liquid"
CF ] Hypersleep Vault - Deck A 0.4g
CF ] Exits: Port
CF \|
CF \| > X LIQUID
CF \|
CF \| The liquid at the bottom of the pod is clear hypersleep fluid, and it
CF \| slowly moves back and forth as the derelict floats through space.
CF \|
CF \| Something is moving through these corridors, but it's close. Too
CF \| close.
CF \|
CF \| >		gadzoks says, "We could always throw them out."
		gadzoks says, "BUt we would be visible inside."
		Lancelot says, "canned meat"
		gadzoks asks, "Maybe the monster is blind?"
		keltena says (to gadzoks), "Yeah, or maybe it just doesn't care to disturb the pods"
gadzoks says (to ClubFloyd), "open pod"
CF ] Hypersleep Vault - Deck A 0.4g
CF ] Exits: Port
CF \|
CF \| > OPEN POD
CF \|
CF \| The pod is already open.
CF \|
CF \| You hear something slithering towards the port side of the ship. It's

CF \|
CF \| That's not a verb I recognize.
CF \|
CF \| >		keltena asks, "Enter pod, I suppose, if we still want to try that--if nothing else it might clarify why we can't?"
gadzoks says (to ClubFloyd), "enter pod"
CF ] Hypersleep Vault - Deck A 0.5g
CF ] Exits: Port
CF \|
CF \| > ENTER POD
CF \|
CF \| The pod is open. You could get inside, but the solution is wet, and
CF \| you're not going to be able to hide here.
CF \|
CF \| You hear something slithering towards the port side of the ship. A
CF \| short distance away. And it's retreating.
CF \|
CF \| >		keltena says, "er, clarify if we can't, I mean"

CF \|
CF \| Forward, there's an automated door to the bridge. You can see the

CF \|
CF \| You hear something slithering towards the aft end of the ship.
CF \| Distant, and it's retreating.
CF \|
CF \| From somewhere below you, towards the ship's forward end, the sound of
