----------------------------------------
This is a minimal solution. You'll need to EXAMINE lots of things for this solution to make
sense. Some optional (but significant) commands are shown in parentheses. These can be omitted once
you know what to do.
(I) (you're wearing a suit)
(X SUIT) (it's like a second skin of water repellant material)
S
(X DUMBWAITER) (it's misaligned by the earthquake, we'll have to fix that)
S
(X ROCK) (smaller splinters litter the floor, they serve no purpose)
W (don't go down yet, or you'll get eaten by a monster)
S
(X CABINET) (one of the drawers hasn't been crushed)
(OPEN DRAWER) (it's stuck)
PUSH DRAWER (it spills its contents onto floor)
(L) (you find a pneumatic stapler)
GET STAPLER
(X IT) (it "shoots" metal staples, that could be handy)
N
W
E
(X DRAIN) (it's covered by a grate)
OPEN GRATE (you can now go down, but we'll come back in a moment)
S
GET MEAT

OPEN DOOR (it bursts open and two objects land on floor)
(L) (you find a dented spray can and a tin object)

PUT CONTAINER IN MEAT
N
D
GET DISC
(U) (disc is too heavy)
PUSH DISC UP
U
GET DISC
W
N
E
N
PUT CAN IN DUMBWAITER
E
SHOOT DUMBWAITER (with stapler, the can explodes)
W
PUT DISC IN DUMBWAITER (dumbwaiter goes downstairs and returns empty)
S
W
THROW MEAT IN WATER (creature eats it, spits blood & flees, you can go down now)
D (light above door is now green due to dumbwaiter)
E
U
E
N
X CORPSE (he's wearing a badge)
GET BADGE
(X IT) (it belongs to WILSON KENNAN and has magnetic stripe)
D
W
S
(X TERMINALS) (one closest to door has a slot)
PUT BADGE IN SLOT (south door vanishes into wall)
S
(X MACHINE) (it's a metal table with pebble at end of arm & shelf of engravings)

READ LOG (your name is CL03, not Chloe)
G (spikes occurred in your telekinesis when conversing with whales)
G (you lost control, your tank was flooded with GHB, but too late, many killed)
G (Dr Nelly Adams said you were not dangerous, just scared)
G (you were placed in stasis in cryo-cocoon, Dr Nelly Adams died)
G (whales were communicating with you & attacked the base)
G (catastrophe, you wake & cocoon broken, whales tried to save you, valve opens)
S
Z
