ROOM_DESCR # 2
You are in a deep pit. Climbing back up is simply impossible: the side of the
pit is far too steep and is too slippery to grip. Through a shattered wooden
door, you can faintly make out an exit to the west.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR # 3
You are in a small, dimly-lit room. Empty shelves line the wall; this must
have been a storage room of some sort. A broken plastic door leads east, back
to the pit you fell into. Another open door leads west.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 4
This is a well-lit corridor, leading north and south. To the east, an open
door leads to a storage room of some kind. A door to the west is securely
locked.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 5
This is the north end of a long corridor. An open door leads east; an arch
leads north.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 6
This is another storage room. The shelves on the walls are empty. The only
exit leads west.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 7
This is the south end of a long north-south corridor. A door leads south.
A large red triangle is painted on the wall here.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 8
This is a small entry hall. An arch leads south to a corridor; smaller arches
lead east and west. Another passage goes north.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 9
Something terrible has happened here, probably a cave-in. The walls have
collapsed, and all exits are blocked except the door to the west through which
you entered. Dirt and mud cover much of the floor.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 10
This is the east end of a narrow corridor. An arch leads east; doors lead
north and south.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 11
This appears to be the mess hall. Several large tables and long benches are
scattered through the room. To the south is the exit; the door to the north
probably leads to the kitchen.

ROOM_DESCR 14
This is a small room, apparently a bedroom. Four bunks are mounted on each of
three walls -- it's hard to imagine how twelve people could share one room!
END_ROOM_DESCR
SPECIAL 25
As soon as you press the red triangle image, the doors slide shut and you are
jerked against the west wall. The elevator car cuts to the north and west a
moment later, and you relax for a few minutes as it seems to rise and move
steadily to the northwest. Abruptly, the car slows down and rises more
sharply. It comes almost to a stop, then begins moving toward the west. As
you massage the bruises you're received from the trip, the door opens to the
north. On the control panel, a blue square image appears.
END_SPECIAL
SPECIAL 26
As soon as your finger touches the blue square image on the control panel,
the doors slide shut and you are slammed violently against the west wall as
the car begins moving sideways, toward the east. Just as you get used to that
motion, the car begins dropping, then seems to be both dropping and moving to
the south. Panicked, you poke at the control panel, but nothing is displayed
on it and it rudely ignores your whimpering.
After a few minutes, the car's motion settles into a southeast direction,
and seems to stop dropping. There's no way to tell how fast -- or far -- the
car is traveling.
As suddenly as it started, the car brakes, cuts to the west, and stops. To
your surprise and confusion, the door opens behind you, to the south.
On the control panel, a red triangle image appears.
END_SPECIAL
SPECIAL 43
When you press the control panel's circle icon, you hear motors grinding as
the inner door closes firmly. You hear the sound of re-pressurization within
the shuttle, and then a swoosh as the outside door's seal is broken. The
motors grind again to lift the outer door clear so you can safely exit, and
you hear a "click" as the door locks into its open position.
END_SPECIAL
SPECIAL 44
When you touch the control panel's diamond icon, you hear a "click" as the
outer door's lock releases, and motors grind as they close it. Another "click"
locks the outer door tightly, and then you hear and feel the signs of
re-pressurization as the air is replaced by canned gases. A gentle "pop"
signals the release of the inner door's lock, and the motors grind again to
lift the inner door clear so you can safely enter. You hear a "click" as the
door locks into its open position.
END_SPECIAL
SPECIAL 62
When you touch the red oval, the inner airlock door slides shut, accompanied
by the sound of the motors. The airlock compartment is re-pressurized to match
the outside air, and the motors hum again as the outer door seal is broken.
Suddenly, the door motors begin screeching, unable to open the door, and an
alarm begins to ring. A calm female voice announces, "When the shuttle is in
launch position, you must use the auxiliary airlock door to disembark. The
main airlock door is blocked by the maintenance scaffolding."
The door motors are silent for a moment. Then the air is reprocessed, and
the motors hum again to open the inner door. The red oval re-appears on the
command console.
END_SPECIAL
SPECIAL 63
As you turn the key in the keyhole, you feel a surge as the ion drives prepare
for a long-awaited takeoff. The whole ship begins to rumble and shake as the
overhead bay doors are opened by huge motors built into the hillside, and you
hear and feel vibrations as debris from above bounces off the shuttle.
Out of fear, you reach to turn the key off, but it twists and breaks in
the lock. The engines surge more violently, and you are slammed against the
floor as the shuttle begins to rise into the air.
Instantly, you realize that the bay doors have failed at something,
because you can feel the shuttle collide with something as it ascends. The
computer corrects for the damage somehow and the shuttle continues to rise,
but is vibrating violently. The ion drives begin to squeal abnormally, and you
realize that the shuttle cannot possibly remain in one piece for more than a
few minutes.
As if expecting your panic, a wall panel suddenly slides to one side,
revealing an escape pod to the east.

This is a tiny bathroom, with just one toilet, one sink, and one shower. The
only exit is east.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 21
This is the kitchen, though it's almost empty now, probably gutted either by
the government or by looters years ago. All that remains now are a large
refrigerator, a freezer, and a work table. A door to the south leads to the
mess hall; other doors lead north, east, and west.

This is a badly damaged elevator car. Laser burn marks are visible on all the
walls, and the control panel has been removed or burned away. Despite the
damage, there are no holes in the car's walls, floor, or ceiling, indicating
that the metal used to build this elevator is quite unusually solid.

END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 36
This must've been a maintenance or repair room at some time, judging from the
counters and tables bolted to the floor here. But it's been stripped of
anything useful. Dusty outlines on the floor suggest the former locations of
toolboxes, heavy machinery, and other equipment. The exit is north; another
door leads east. A badly damaged doorway leads west.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 37
This is the bottom of a concrete-block staircase. The walls are damaged, and
dirt can be seen through cracks in the walls in spots. It does appear to
continue upward, but probably doesn't go far.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 38
This is as far up as the stairs go. The walls have collapsed here, and rocks
and mud are everywhere.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 39
This is a storage area. The shelves are empty.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 40
This is Shuttle Bay Four, a typical space shuttle launching bay.
A ramp leads up.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 41
You are on a thin metal ramp, about thirty feet above the concrete floor.
Ahead and up is the space shuttle's hatch.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 42
You are on a platform outside the hatch leading into the shuttle. The hatch is
open. The inside of the shuttle's airlock is visible to the east. A ramp leads
down toward the ground, which is at least a hundred feet down.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 43
This is the shuttle's auxiliary airlock, used for boarding the shuttle before
takeoff and also for emergencies when the main airlock is not functioning.
There is a standard control panel here similar to the control panels used in
most elevators. To the west is the hatch leading outside; to the east is a
locked door.

END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 52
This is the north end of the upper deck. It continues to the south; there is a
door to the north.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 53
This is the bridge, the command hub of the shuttle. The only visible exit is
to the south. Like most space vehicles, this one runs almost entirely
automatically, with all flight parameters pre-programmed. There is a command
console here, but it is dark. Mounted just below it is a small keyhole. It is
currently set to 'off.'
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 54
This is the captain's room. It's not large, but the crew are probably much
worse off. There's a large bed secured to the floor, and enclosed, empty
shelves on the wall. The only exit is to the east.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 55
This is the kitchen area. There is room for a programmable computer chef and
complete food-generation system, but it hasn't been installed yet. There
doesn't seem to be any food here; perhaps that's why no one took the shuttle
when the Great War began. An exit leads west.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 56
This is the main engine room. Translucent wall panels partially conceal the
ion drives' main components. You can feel the power surging beneath your feet,
and you can almost feel the radiation seeping into your skin.
Someone has removed the control panel that belongs here; perhaps it has
been salvaged for use by another shuttle. The ion drives are being kept in
control by the ship's automatic computer control system, which are almost
always better than manual control anyway. The access doorway to the ion drives
is locked shut. The only exit is west.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 57
You are now at the south end of the lower deck, which also continues north.
Doorways lead south, east, and west.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 58
This is a storage room, and, like most of the storage rooms around here, it's
empty. The only exit is east.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 59
This is the auxiliary control room for the shuttle. There is a command console
on the rear wall, but it appears to be inoperative.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 60
This is a storage room, and, like most of the storage rooms around here, it's
empty. The only exit is south.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 61
This is the shuttle's cargo bay. During any flight, it should be full of
crates, boxes, and barrels tied to the floor and walls with metal cables.
Since the shuttle is plainly not going anywhere, it's empty.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 62
This is the shuttle's main airlock, with a standard command console.. During
space voyages, it is used to dock with space stations and other spacecraft.
After landing, it is used to disembark and to load and unload cargo before the
shuttle is raised to a launch position. When the shuttle is in launch
position, all cargo and passengers must use the auxiliary airlock.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 63
This is the bridge, the command hub of the shuttle. The exit to the south has
been damaged by the vibrations and is twisted into an impossible position.
Like most space vehicles, this one runs almost entirely automatically, with
all flight parameters pre-programmed. There is a command console here, but it
is dark. Mounted just below it is a small keyhole; a plastic key is in the
hole but appears to be broken. The exit to the south has been damaged by the
vibrations and is twisted into an impossible position. An escape pod is
visible to the east.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 64
You are now in the escape pod. As you sit in the command couch, the door
slides shut behind you and you feel the pod automatically ejecting from the
shuttle. Not surprisingly, it hits something on the way out, and spins out of
control for a moment before its thrusters regain control. You can hear the
wind rushing by, and then the sound of an explosion -- very near by -- drowns
out all other sounds. The escape pod rises for a few minutes, then begins to
move horizontally. It's hard to tell what is happening, but it's certainly not
as bad as what was happening just a few seconds ago.
Directly before you is an extremely simple manual console with a small
socket, above which are instructions which say "insert command module here."
END_ROOM_DESCR
SPECIAL 65
As you press the RT-584 module, it exerts some sort of magnetic force which
pulls it from your fingers and snugly into the RT-500 socket. The escape pod
changes direction and velocity -- almost seeming to stop for a moment -- and
then accelerates again toward some unknown destination.
After a few minutes, you feel the pod turning and then decelerating and
descending. Before you expected it, the pod touches down roughly, causing you
to bump your head against the side of the pod. The pod's engines begin whining
as they reduce power. The door suddenly clicks and swings open, revealing
bright sunlight outside. Once the door is locked open, the pod's engines shut
down completely, leaving you in complete silence.
END_SPECIAL
ROOM_DESCR 65
You are in the escape pod, which is not moving. An open door leads west.
END_ROOM_DESCR
ROOM_DESCR 66
You are standing on a small platform on the outside of the escape pod. A ladder
leads down to the ground. A desert stretches in all directions; except for
mountains in the distance, the only thing visible is a small, crude shack about
five hundred yards to the north.

This is one of the old Warrior-Class Space Shuttles, probably built in the
20's. The Warrior shuttle was the first vessel to use the (then) new
ion-reversal drives, and thus the first with virtually limitless range and
speed. Of course, most were destroyed in the Great War, but a few are still
used for freight handling and as tourist attractions.
This particular shuttle is called the Wayfarer, the name painted in
black paint on the white sides of the shuttle. It is in launch position,
though the overhead doors are closed. Judging from the fact that this is still
here, unnoticed, after all these years, the overhead doors are probably not
visible from above, and may be covered with earth or even a highway.
A metal ramp leads up from the bay area up to the ship's hatch. The only
visible exit from the bay lies to the west.

ROOM_DESCR 68
You wander toward the mountains in the distance. As you walk, you begin to
notice that they aren't getting much nearer. In all directions, you see nothing
but desert. You begin to realize how hungry and thirsty you are.
As you walk, you begin to suspect that you are not entirely alone. In fact,
you occasionally glimpse shadows and shapes moving in the distance, seeming
closer every time.
Your walking grows into a run as you break into a mad panic. After a moment
of this, you trip and fall to the ground, exhausted. You lay still for a
moment, and then sense a shadow above you. As you rise, you can see the desert
dragon.
The desert dragon is a mutated descendent of a creature created through
genetic experimentation. It can survive on a diet of sand, though it prefers
living flesh. Its main goal in life is to destroy living creatures, especially
other desert dragons. It is about fifty feet tall and eighty feet long, and has
several dozen teeth each about a foot high. It does not look friendly.
It is not. Its mouth opens as it lowers its head toward you. Knowing that
running is hopeless, you bravely stand still, hoping your death is clean and
quick. It is.

ROOM_DESCR 69
The shack contains a single room, with a dirt floor. Since you're surrounded by
desert, this seems like the safest place to wait for rescuers, since the shack
will protect you from any sandstorms or desert dragons.
Unfortunately, it's doubtful that anyone will come to your rescue. You have
no idea where you are -- it might be western North America or Africa, for all
you know. Since both places were laid waste by extensive nuclear bombing to
roust out the contras, no one would dare come near. In fact, you're probably in
one of the most deadly locations in the world, since the sand itself is
probably radioactive. You have two choices: wait here and die of old age very
quickly, or wander into the desert and be killed quickly by the heat or by a
wandering monster.

INTRO
It is the year 2093. You, a foolish explorer, decided to wander the
radiation-filled areas near what used to be the nation's capital:
Washington, D.C. You've found the adventure you sought, though few of your
exploits turned out as you'd expected.
In your six-month travels, you've been attacked by packs of wild dogs and
a few wilder humans. Your supplies were stolen weeks ago, and you've been
surviving by eating the few surviving vegetables in long-abandoned gardens,
despite the risks of eating food grown in this area. When you finally tried
to leave this restricted region, you were shot at by patrols who detected
too much radiation in your body.
In your ever-more-desparate search for either a safe temporary home or a
way out of the danger-zone, you've begun exploring the hills where other
wanderers have said there are caves and tunnels. Somewhere here, it is
rumored, there was once an underground complex where the elite few hid
during the atomic cataclysm. No trace has ever been found of those hidden
politicians and millionaires, though the mysterious roars of explosions were
heard two years after the Last War ended, suggesting that the survivors
above ground might have found and destroyed the survivors who hid below.
After several weeks of living off the land, you discovered a deep pit,
apparently man-made, at the center of a neatly-rounded hill. For two days,
you explored the hill, trying to find another cave or even an out-of-place
pile of dirt, to no avail. Far away to the south are five blackened pits in
the earth, burned, ash-covered remnants of a few days of sheer hell; you've
wondered if their target might have been hills like this.
Finally, you locate a much-used rope and tie one end around some rocks
near the pit, hoping to lower yourself into it. As you explore the top few
feet of the cave, you drop your disposable flashlight, and can hear it
bounce against the sides of the cave for several seconds before striking the
bottom. Slowly, in darkness, you lower yourself down the rope. Wisely, you
started at noon, and the light is bright enough for you to see above you,
though your body blocks most of the light below.
As you approach what you think is the bottom of the pit, your legs push
aside a clump of earth and suddenly you are hanging in empty space: the thin
vertical tunnel has widened. As you turn awkwardly, you try to stop moving
by reaching a hand out to touch the side of the tunnel, only to suddenly
lose your grip with the other hand. You grab for the rope, but gain only
rope burns as you feel the end of the rope slip from your fingers, hardly
slowing your fall.
Luckily, you were only about fifteen feet from the bottom of the pit. Of
course, "only" is a relative term: in this case, it means you'll suffer from
extreme pain and bruises, not broken bones.
It takes you only a minute to realize that the sides of the pit are too
steep and muddy to climb; the rope is dimly visible twenty feet above. By
feeling the side of the pit, you can make out some sort of wooden or plastic
door to the west. Despite the pain you still feel from the fall, you manage
to kick the door open, leading to a dark room.
