Rose: Remove blocks.

You store the PERFECTLY GENERIC OBJECTS in your PHERNALIA REGISTRY, potentially to be deployed at a later time.

John: Take totem to alchemiter.

Got to get those stupid blocks out of the way first! The KERNELSPRITE is getting awfully worked up about all this!

[fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuustuck]

Rose: Put bathtub back.

You probably should have just done this in the first place.

[fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuustuck]

Rose: Remove door from hinges.

There goes the rest of your BUILD GRIST.

TT: I'm back. EB: hurry up and open my door!!!!!! EB: not that it even matters, i think i'm probably dead no matter what!!!!!! TT: Patience. You still haven't used the new totem. EB: ??? TT: I believe it will create the item on the punch card. EB: so what is it, like an apple or something? EB: what good will that even do? TT: We'll see. TT: I've found no evidence that anyone has successfully created the item. TT: And the content of the card appears to be variable from session to session. TT: In one instance it was described as an "eggy loking thign" [sic]. EB: do we have enough of those building jewels to make it? TT: According to the Atheneum, it is a free item. TT: This speaks to its importance, in my view. TT: Now off you go.

Rose: Access laboratory wifi network.

There are several signals being broadcasted from the LABORATORY, each of relatively decent strength. One of them is mysteriously and quite conveniently UNSECURED, requiring no password. You select the signal, and reconnect to the game with John.

Rose: Stack laptop on Grimoire to maximize elevation.

You'll need every advantage you can get.

[fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuustuck]

Rose: See what you can observe.

You're in a hurry, sure, but that doesn't mean you can't take moment to peek through the HUGE TELESCOPE. You find a gap in the clouds. It seems a flurry of smaller METEOROIDS is streaking steadily overhead. You're not sure what this means, but it is somewhat disconcerting.

Rose: Try to connect!

You first put your LAPTOP down on the floor to get it situated. But removing it from the ROOT CARD causes all the branches and leaves to be severed! Your items are dumped unceremoniously on the floor.

[fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuustuck]

Rose: Hurry up to that observatory.

[fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuustuck]

Rose: Go through door.

The door opens to an exterior walkway, leading to the observatory entrance. You've seen less inclement weather before. Oh the things you'll do to help out a friend.

[fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuustuck]

==>

This door leads up to the OBSERVATORY. You haven't ventured up there in quite some time.

[fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuustuck]

Rose: Sneak by.

[fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuustuck]

[fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuustuck]

Rose: Tiptoe to observatory.

You approach a juncture in the hallway. Beyond the juncture is the OBSERVATORY.
