Corner At Doors (in dimness)
The hallway runs both east and south from here. There’s a featureless metal door to the west, which is closed; a more normal one stands closed to the north.

One of the ceiling panels is missing, leaving a rectangular gap above you.

>e

Corridor Boundary (in dimness)
The corridor angles here, and crosses a boundary of some sort as it does. A few strides down the southeast branch, a dotted red line crosses the floor. You can retreat from the boundary to the west.

You’re about to run out of options—the intersection to the southeast is occupied. The guards there are not moving. They’re watching in both directions, with their backs to a closed metal door. They don’t seem to have seen you; you slide deeper into the shadows nonetheless.

>se

Sharp Corner (in dimness)
The corridor cuts around a sharp angle, from the northwest to the north. To the south, in the end wall, is the standard featureless metal door; it is closed.

Six guards are standing by the door, peering into the darkness.

You hit the corner at a dead run, trying to break through the guards before they can react. You nearly do; but there are too many of them, and pulse-fire is faster than you.

Curious about that gunfire. What happens if we go to the Security Annex?

Tsk, tsk… dead again. A nice plastic gun would have come in handy, don’t you agree, Oscar. 

Ducking and running…

What would also be nice is having more than one person working on the game at once…

In fact, I wouldn’t mind having a plastic gun to discipline playthrough deserters. 

Just so you know wilco, there’s no achievement award for the most death scenes this time.

Tee Junction (in dimness)
The white corridor runs east to west here, with a branch leading off to the north, and a closed metal door to the south.

>n

Angle Branch (in dimness)
The corridor runs north and south, like every other hallway in this place. A short hallway branches off to the northeast. To the west is a blank metal door, with attendant black plate beside it.

You can see brighter lights shining in the security annex to the northeast; there is a murmur of voices as well.

You freeze; there is movement up the corridor, to the north. It sounds like yet another group of guards, moving slowly but steadily in the darkness.

The footsteps to the north are nearly upon you. You can make out figures in the darkness.

Security Annex
This is the end of a short hallway, which runs southwest back to the main corridor. Three large doorways open to the north, east, and south.

Through the north doorway, you can see a huge bustle of activity—guards examining the chair, bent over the controls, and kneeling around the unconscious figure on the floor. And, a few of them, watching the door. Several hair-triggered guards have slashed pulse-fire into you before you or they know what is happening.

Sorry, Oscar. I thought it was funny, but I have a weird sense of humor. Didn’t mean to annoy anybody.

Not annoyed at jokes.

A little bit annoyed at you deserting wilco and TMM when you could have helped them with your superb memory.

What happens if you go for the exit?
Or if you look in the gap in the Corner at Doors?

Corner At Doors (in dimness)
The hallway runs both east and south from here. There’s a featureless metal door to the west, which is closed; a more normal one stands closed to the north.

One of the ceiling panels is missing, leaving a rectangular gap above you.

>jump
You bend and leap. Your fingers brush the edge of the hole—catch, and you concentrate on holding on. Your feet swing gently a foot above the floor.

>x gap
You strain, pulling yourself up with your arms, until you can see over the lip of the hole. The space over the acoustical panelling is only a few inches high; but it spreads out around you into darkness.

The space is empty as far as you can see.

>d
You drop lightly to the ground.

>s

White Junction (in dimness)
You are in a bare tiled corridor, white tiles and cold white walls. The ceiling is acoustical panelling divided by barely-illuminated strips of plastic. The hall runs north and east, with a branch curving away to the southeast.

>se
You return up the hallway as it curves around to the south.

Corridor By Entrance (in dimness)
The white corridor begins here, and curves away north. The metal face of the entrance door stands closed to the west.

Four guards are waiting for you at the door, guns drawn. You briefly think how little hope there was that the exit would be unguarded. Then pulse-fire slaps darkness through you.

That’s true. I wasn’t stuck at this point because I remembered something. See? I’m doing my best. And what about you, you’re playing too.

No more hints. I’m the co-ordinator, sometimes I have to go ahead and I don’t like to ruin the fun.

Well, I don’t remember anything so I have to resort to tries and deaths

can we:

-get the wrench in the storage closet?
-enter the logistics office?
