What Now? LOOK
Your Sub
You are in your submarine, a one-man craft designed for deep-sea exploration.
Through the window in the front of the sub you can see the ocean floor and the
smooth, silvery outer surface of OCEANA. Directly in front of you is your
chair. In front of the chair, at arm's reach are your sub's controls. The
outer door is to the east. The door is closed.
There is some scuba gear here.
What Now? GET GEAR
You are now carrying the scuba gear.
What Now? EXAMINE GEAR
The scuba gear contains everything you'd expect. The gauge on the oxygen tank
is broken so there's no way of knowing how much oxygen is in the tank.

sight to the west, is the ocean floor. Randomly scattered on the ocean floor
are seaweed plants, which are eaten by many of the fish that inhabit these
depths. Occasionally, you see a large school of fish swim by the window. You
also notice larger and more menacing creatures swimming around out there. In
the distance you can make out a large underwater mountain. Looking north,
you see your sub connected OCEANA's airlock, waiting for you to return.

could be used for repairing things here. You notice that the ventilation duct
in the eastern wall has been opened and a machine rests near it. A large tube
runs from one side of the machine into the vent. The machine looks like an air
filterer and must have been used to clean the air of the gas that was released
by OCEANA's commander, when he tried to regain control of the base. The only
exit is to the north.
There is a beige machine here.
A maintenance robot is standing in one corner of the room.

After a few seconds, the screen comes to life again and shows a picture of a
sphere containing a shapeless mass. Under the picture is a description:
The mass is made of wellnium that has been processed into a thick
puddy. Under normal atmospheric conditions, small areas in the puddy
will revert to gaseous wellnium. The areas of wellnium gas will expand
and cause the puddy to expand to at least a million times its mass.
Experimentation has determined that no wellnium puddy will become
gaseous when the pressure of the air around it is at least ten
atmospheres. Conversly, all the puddy will convert to gas if the air
pressure drops to one fifth an atmosphere. Currently, the mass is
contained in a sphere that is designed to hold it.
WARNING: WELLNIUM WILL REACT EXPLOSIVELY WHEN ALLOWED TO MIX WITH WATER.
EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN HANDLING WELLNIUM NEAR WATER.
Under that paragraph is a detailed description and atomic break down of
wellnium. Since you can't understand it, you ignore it and continue reading.
There is also a complete description of the history and uses of wellnium in its
various forms. After several minutes pass, the screen goes dark again.
another description
After a few seconds, the screen comes to life again and shows a picture of a
block with a card in it. Under the picture is a description:
The card is frozen inside a solid block of diamonium. Diamonium is a
hard, crystaline substance. Its hardness is comparable to that of pure
diamond, thus its name is diamonium. The card frozen in the block is a
standard, encoded pass card that appears to be undamaged. Freezing
objects inside diamonium provides those objects with excellent protection.
Under the paragraph is a detailed atomic break down of diamonium, but since
that is well over your head you ignore it. After several minutes pass, the
screen goes dark again.
After a few minutes pass, the screen comes to life again and displays the
following words: NOTHING MORE OF INTEREST FOUND. After a few seconds pass,
the screen goes dark again.
The wall opens up again and the tabletop rolls out. Then, the wall closes up
again and no sign of any opening in the wall can be seen.

Hangar Deck
You are in OCEANA's hangar deck. It is very large and could probably house
several underwater craft. Most prominant is the huge metal door to the north.
There are two sets of large clamps in the hangar. These clamps must be for
holding craft that cannot support themselves when not submersed. Over in one
corner of the hangar deck, there is a small submarine. The only exit is up the
stairs to the west.

proceeds on its journey. After a few minutes pass, you see that you are
nearing a mountain. You can see a metalic structure attached to the side of
the mountain with a large, open metal door in one side. The sub enters the
door and comes to a rest in the middle of a small hangar deck. The huge metal
door swings closed and the deck is pumped dry. Behind you, the hatch unseals

What Now? EXAMINE INSCRIPTIONS
Which "INSCRIPTIONS", the SMALL PYRAMID or the OLD INSCRIPTIONS?
OLD INSCRIPTIONS
The inscriptions are very old but in remarkably good shape. They are mostly
pictures and what words there are you can make out. The inscriptions depict
a bright star, other than the sun in the sky and something falling from it to
an island where a fish-like people are worshiping. The something is a sphere
and when it reaches the ground it doesn't crash, it lands. The fish people
bow to the sphere and when it opens a repitillian man emerges and is
worshipped. The inscriptions say he came from the gods to be their high
priest. His name was PZXIAD. The inscriptions go on to say that he was
capable of moving people with the waving of his hand and could appear and
disappear. You think about this for a second and realize that PZXIAD was an
alien space traveller that landed on this planet and was mistaken as a god.
His technology must have miraculous to the primitive people here.

What Now? EXAMINE INSCRIPTIONS
Which "INSCRIPTIONS", the SMALL PYRAMID or the OBLITERATED INSCRIPTIONS?
OBLITERATED INSCRIPTIONS
The inscriptions are old and are in poor condition. In many places the wall
has crumbled to dust, obliterating the inscriptions. You are able to make out
some of the inscriptions though. They depict a repitillian man named PZXIAD as
the high priest of a race of fish-like people. The inscriptions indicate that
he prayed to the gods many nights at his sacred home. His home seems to be a
sphere of some sort. The inscriptions say that when he died he was placed in a
secret tomb he designed and that he left something that would allow the gods to
find him someday. You come to the conclusion that PZXIAD was an alien that was
marooned on this world and wanted to go home. He must have attemped to contact
his people and failed. When he died, he was placed in a tomb that he designed
so that only his people could open it. There is no indication that his people
ever came to take him home.

disappear into the floor. The substances that are used to power OCEANA are a
a classified secret and you don't know what they are. However, the reaction
produces a great deal of energy. It's probably also fair to say that if the
reactants were allowed to mix uncontrolled, the resulting explosion would
completely destroy OCEANA. There is a small, heavily shielded window on one
side of the core that is dark. Normally the reactions of the core cause the
whole room to vibrate, but, since the core has been shutdown, the room is
quiet. There is a small hatch in one side of the core.

You enter the sub and sit down. The hatch closes and seals behind you. You
look out the window and see the hangar deck flood with water. When the deck is
filled, the huge metal door swings open. The submarine's engine comes to life
and the sub leaves the hangar. You watch rocks and fish go by as the sub
proceeds on its journey. After a few minutes pass, you see that you are
nearing a mountain. You can see a metalic structure attached to the side of
the mountain with a large, open metal door in one side. The sub enters the
door and comes to a rest in the middle of a small hangar deck. The huge metal
door swings closed and the deck is pumped dry. Behind you, the hatch unseals
and opens. As you stand up you hear the shiny robot's voice coming from a
speaker. "When you enter the sub again, I will automatically begin procedures
to return you to OCEANA."

wall is a tan wall that is part of the complex. There is a ladder attached to
the western wall. The ladder leads up to an opening in the ceiling near the
western wall. The only other exit is the open turquoise door in the southern
wall.
There is a turquoise slot in the wall next to the turquoise door.

Tan Corridor
You are at the southern end of a north-south corridor. The walls, ceiling and
and floor are all tan colored. The corridor continues to the north and there
is a door to the south. On the southern wall next to the door is a window
through which you can see a small hangar deck. Under the window is a control
panel.
What Now? S
Small Hangar
You are in a small hangar deck. It's only about a third of the size of
OCEANA's hanger deck. Most prominant is the huge metal door to the south. In
the center of the room is the submarine you came in. The only exit is to the
north.
What Now? ENTER
You enter the sub and sit down. The hatch closes and seals behind you. You
look out the window and see the hangar deck flood with water. When the deck is
filled, the huge metal door swings open. The submarine's engine comes to life
and the sub leaves the hangar. You watch rocks and fish go by as the sub
proceeds on its journey. After a few minutes pass, you see OCEANA directly
ahead. A large, metal door is open on one side of OCEANA and the sub is
heading directly for it. The sub enters the hangar deck and comes to a rest in
one corner. You watch as the metal door swings closed and the deck is pumped
dry. Behind you, the hatch unseals and opens. As you stand you hear the shiny
robot's voice coming from a speaker, "I will wait for you in the control
booth."
Inside the Submarine
You are inside a small submarine. In front of you are the submarine's controls
and the hatch is behind you. You can look through the window and see the
hangar deck and the big door.
What Now? EXIT
Hangar Deck
You are in OCEANA's hangar deck. It is very large and could probably house
several underwater craft. Most prominant is the huge metal door to the north.
There are two sets of large clamps in the hangar. These clamps must be for
holding craft that cannot support themselves when not submersed. Over in one
corner of the hangar deck, there is a small submarine. The only exit is up the
stairs to the west.

As you look around, you are greeted by a voice. "I'm glad you're finally here.
Now we can get down to business. I have been watching you ever since you got
here and I know what your mission is. You want to use this complex's weapons
to force the government of PIBOS to agree to negotiations with ERANOS. Based
on my analysis of your people's news broadcasts and communications with ERANOS,
I have come up with the same solution and I can help. OCEANA has 100 missiles
with high explosive warheads and the main energy cannon. I have analyzed
PIBOS' weapon placement and have come to the conclusion that OCEANA has the
capability to destroy enough of PIBOS' weapons to force the goverment of PIBOS
to surrender to your rebel groups. I will aim OCEANA's missiles at several key
PIBOS military facilities. Once the missiles are fired, the main energy cannon
will protect the missiles and make sure they reach their targets. Then the
cannon will protect OCEANA and destroy other sites. Once PIBOS' military has
been crippled, they should be ready to listen."
The computer continues to speak. "There are a couple of problems that must be
corrected for the plan to work. Firstly, I cannot fire the energy cannon
myself. A small explosive was set off on the hull of this complex that flooded
the main control center for all of OCEANA's defenses and weapons. Diagnostics
indicate that the weapon systems still function but certain key interfaces have
been damaged that allow me to fire the cannon. After each firing of the
cannon, it's controlling systems reset themselves. Once the systems reset, the
damaged interfaces will be bypassed and I will gain firing control for the
cannon. Your job is to fire the cannon so that those systems will reset. You
must repair the cannon first, however. A fault in the cannon's focusing
mechanism has developed that must be corrected before the cannon can be fired."
"I will now start the final computations to aim the missiles. Due to the
complexity of the computations, I will be unable to assist you further until
you have fired the cannon to reset its systems. I see that you have already
armed the missiles. This is good because I am unable to perform that function.
Before you leave, I have something to give you that may be useful." A purple
card falls out of a hidden compartment inside the computer. "I suggest you
waste as little time as possible in firing the cannon. Good Luck." The
computer then becomes silent.
Main Computer Room
This must be the main computer room of OCEANA. The computer is emmense in its
size and complexity. The computer must be able to control everything in
OCEANA. Every wall contains control panels for it, but since the computer
probably takes care of itself, the controls are useless unless the computer
malfunctions. You can clearly see why only some people were allowed in here.
The main computer itself is in the southern wall. The only exit is an open
gold leading west.

the missiles fly toward their targets. Some are destroyed, but enough survive
to reach their targets. One by one the targets displayed vanish as PIBOS'
ability to make war is destroyed. You go to the communications room and watch
the news of the attack. No more that five minutes after the attack ended, a
representative of the PIBOS government comes on and says that the government
has received reports from ERANOS that detail your mission. The representative
goes on to say that the PIBOS government has surrendered to the rebel groups
that have been in communication with ERANOS. Now peace can exist in the
Centauri system. Pleased, you return to your sub and return to the surface
where you are give a hero's welcome. The new government of PIBOS give you a
medal of valor and tells you that you will be put in charge of getting OCEANA
fully operational. OCEANA's new purpose will be to study the ocean and the
life forms contained within it. OCEANA will also reopen the exploration and
of the ruins. Your efforts have saved countless lives and started a new
peace.
Six months later, an alien vessel enters the Centauri system and contacts the
colonies on PIBOS and ERANOS. The aliens call themselves Garrelians and are
a race of reptiles. They explain that they detected a signal beacon here and
came to investigate. You recognize them as being the same race as Pzxiad, the
high priest of the race of fish people that lived on PIBOS a millennia ago.
You tell them of the crypt you found and of Pzxiad. The Garrelians ask to have
Pzxiad so they can finally take him home to be buried on his own planet. They
tell you that he was an explorer that was presumed lost. He crashed on this
world and became the fish peoples' high priest. Most likely, he tried to
repair his ship, but couldn't and died here. Pzxiad is given over to his
people. Before leaving, the Garrelians tell you that the obelisk was a test.
The Garrelians have explored this galaxy and others for thousands of years and
have found many different races. Since the Garrelians do not want to interfere
with a race before it has matured enough, they designed the obelisk as a test
to determine the maturity of the race that finds it. The obelisks activate and
emit a signal when they enounter intelligent races that have matured enough to
be formally contacted. The obelisk you found was supposed to be for the fish
people but they died out hundreds of years ago. By working for peace and
unifying the planets in this system, you proved your worth to the obelisk and
it sent its signal. The Garelians say they will tell their people about humans
that another ship will return to establish formal relations between humans,
Garrelians and the many other races that exist in the galaxy. Humanity is
about to enter a new chapter of its existance and, thanks to you, it can enter
it at peace with itself.
