LIFE OF A LONE ELECTRON

Spectrum 48
You are Edmond, an accident-prone electron. You have landed in the city of
Elektronz a long way away and you need to get back.
Hints:
A quark in a bottle is a light source. Once you use it (it’s needed at the black
hole), keep the bottle.
Once you enter the room with the baby, you have a limited number of moves before
the parents arrive.
What to do at the locked, barred door? Blow it up. How? You need what’s beyond
the black hole as well as something to hold it..
You need to make your suit presentable to get into the nightclub. Use the snard
to i(r)on it.
Matthew needs something. Give him what you find in the clearing.
You need to land in jail to get an object that will create a black hole in the
lab. In order to get in jail, give the gangster what he wants. But first you
need to deal with the baby. And then pick up another object. When you have the
money give it to the woman electron.
How to get out of jail? Make sure you have the box with you.
