MESSAGE 1
    As you float through the control room you brush against an electrical
cable.  Unfortunately, unlike the first one you touched, this one is 
carrying a live current and you are electrocuted.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 2
    You hit the door open switch, but nothing happens.  All the automatic
controls on the ship seem to be out.  Bracing yourself against the wall 
you grab hold of the manual handle and start to turn it.  At first it is 
stiff and you start to sweat as you turn it, but soon it loosens up and 
the door starts to open.  Suddenly you hear the hiss of escaping air.  
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 3
    Ignoring the sound of escaping air is a dangerous thing to do on a 
spaceship, but it does not normally lead to immediate death.  You take a 
deep breath and swiftly turn the handle.  The door swings open and you 
launch yourself through it.  You fly head over heals into a slightly 
brighter corridor and hit the far wall with a thud.  You grab a handhold 
and remind yourself to go easy on jumping in zero-G.
END_MASSAGE

MESSAGE 4
    You quickly turn the handle in the opposite direction and the door 
starts to close.  As you turn the handle it becomes stiffer as the door 
forms an airtight seal.  When you can turn it no more you push yourself
back into the control room.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 5
    You quickly turn the handle in the opposite direction.  There is a 
loud cracking sound as the mechanism seizes up.  The door swings open and 
you are pulled through by the force of the escaping air.  You smash into a 
wall, but manage to grab a handhold with one hand and find the handle in 
the other.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 6
    You try to take another deep breath but find that the air is now too 
thin to breathe.  You look about in alarm, but see no equipment that could 
be of any use to you.  Your vision is becoming blured and there's a loud 
throbbing in your ears.  You decide to go back into the control room, but 
as you push yourself away from the wall you lose all sense of direction.  
    You panic and thrash madly about trying to breathe.  But it is of no
use.  Your lungs feel as if they are on fire.  Your eardrums rupture and  
your eyeballs feel as if they are exploding, as you die a most horrible 
death from decompression.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 7
    You are in zero gravity.  You and everything around you are floating.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 8
    You can not have both doors of an airlock open at the same time.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 9
    You can't go $VERB$ from here.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 10
    As you move through the darkness you brush against the patch of mould.
You jerk back in pain as your hand seems to go on fire.  The pain soon 
disappears, but it is replaced by a more ominous numbing.
    You look at your hand where you touched the mould but in the dim light 
you can not see anything wrong with it.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 11
    Looking down the corridor you judge the curve and jump.  You sail 
through the air, catch yourself on the side wall of the corridor and bring
yourself to a stop.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 12
    You jump back down the main link corridor towards the door to the 
deep sleep control room and the emergency equipment locker.  Bouncing 
around the curve you aim for the equipment locker and float to a stop 
beside it.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 13
    You are having great trouble breathing.  The air here is very thin.  
You take a deep breath and hold it.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 14
    You press the open button on the smashed control panel, but as you 
expected nothing happens.  So you slot the manual handle into it's socket
and bracing yourself against the wall, start to turn.  The door slides 
open quite smoothly and you put the handle back into your tool belt.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 15
    You press the open button on the smashed control panel, but a small 
spark across some loose wires is the only response you get.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 16
    You catch hold of the $NOUN$ and slip it into an empty slot on your
tool belt.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 17
    You push the open button on the airlock control panel and the airlock
door slides smoothly open.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 18
    Catching hold of the edge of the door you pull yourself into the 
airlock.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 19
    The airlock is already at normal pressure.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 20
    The airlock is already in vacuum.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 21
    The airlock will not work unless both doors are closed.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 22
    You hear the sound of a pump starting up and a hiss as the air is 
sucked out of the airlock.  The hiss slowly fades as the air pressure 
drops too low to carry the sound.  Soon you are in vacuum.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 23
    At first nothing seems to happen.  But then you feel the strain on 
your space suit lessen as the air pressure on the outside comes up to 
match that inside the suit.  Soon the both the suit's and the airlock's 
displays show that there is normal air pressure in the airlock.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 24
    The airlock door to section D slides closed.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 25
    The airlock door to section A slides smoothly closed.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 26
    The airlock door to section D smoothly opens.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 27
    The airlock door to section A slides smoothly open.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 28
    I do not understand.  What door do you want to close?
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 29
    I do not understand.  What door do you want to open?
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 30
    You can not open an airlock door to vacuum when the airlock is 
pressurised.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 31
    Pushing yourself from the opposite door you sail out of the airlock.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 32
    Catching hold of the door you pull yourself through.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 33
    You push the open button on the control panel and the door slides 
open.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 34
    The airlock door slides smoothly open.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 35
    As you go through the door you hear a loud buzzing sound from the 
door's control panel.  Followed by a shower of sparks spraying out into 
the airlock.  You pull yourself through just in time to avoid the door as 
it slams shut.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 36
    Catching hold of the airlock door you pull yourself out into the link 
corridor.
    As you go through the door the headlights on your suit switch on 
automaticly.  The scene they illuminate is one of utter devastation.  
everything around you has been burnt.  The plastic coating on the walls
has bubbled and cracked.  All the maintenance panels have come loose and
the wiring and circuits inside have melted into slag.
    Every system looks to be dead and completely beyond repair.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 37
    Pushing yourself away from the airlock you catch hold of the door into
the control room and though it is a tight squeeze you manage to pull 
yourself inside.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 38
    You push yourself off the wall and sail through the air.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 39
    You push the close button on the airlock control panel and the door
slides closed.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 40
    Catching hold of the edge of the side corridor you pull yourself 
through using the handholds inset along the corridor.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 41
    Catching hold of the edge of the side corridor you pull yourself 
through.  Using the handholds inset along the corridor you pull yourself 
back down the corridor and out into the section C link corridor.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 42
    You push the open button on the door's control panel and wait.  But
nothing happens.  You push the button again but there is still no reaction.
    This door seems to be in perfect working order.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 43
    You slot the manual override handle into the socket under the control
panel and bracing yourself against the wall you start to turn it.  At 
first the door does not seem to want to move, but as you apply more 
pressure it starts to give.  Slowly it grinds back into the wall behind 
the panel and locks into place.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 44
    Catching hold of a packing crate you pull yourself into the narrow
opening.  It is a tight squeeze but you just manage to fit through.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 45
    You catch hold of the edge of the door and pull yourself back out
into the cargo access corridor.
END_MASSAGE

MESSAGE 46
    You push yourself off the wall and float through the door.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 47
    Pushing off from the wall you float back into the deep sleep room.  As 
you enter you brush against an electrical cable.  Unfortunately, unlike 
the first one you touched, this one is carrying a live current.  You jerk
violently for a few seconds and then you die.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 48
    You can smell pine trees.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 49
    Someone calls out your name.  You look around but can not see anybody.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 50
    Suddenly you double up in pain as your stomach seems to catch fire.
You scream with pain.
    Then just as suddenly you are back to normal.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 51
    You are feeling very hot.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 52
    You are feeling very cold.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 53
    Your left arm starts to tremble uncontrollably.  You catch hold of it 
with your right hand to try to stop it, but it passes straight through it.
    You raise your hand to in front of your face and stare at it as you 
pass your right hand through it a couple of times.  Then you blink and 
shake your head and realise that your left hand is actually down by your
side.  You grab it with your right hand and it is quite solid.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 54
    You can smell the sea.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 55
    You can hear a seagull calling in the distance.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 56
    Somebody comes up behind you and taps you on the shoulder.
    You turn around and there is nobody there.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 57
    You can hear a strange humming sound.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 58
    You pull yourself along the narrow corridor for over ten minuets.  All
the time the curve of the corridor stops you from seeing what is ahead.
Most of the maintenance panels in the walls along the corridor have been 
ripped out and the wiring inside is a complete mess.  Suddenly you come to
a junction with another corridor.  Quickly you pull yourself along and out 
into the bulge formed by the junction.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 59
    You pull yourself hand over hand along the corridor for nearly ten
minutes.  All the time the gentle curve of the corridor stops you from 
seeing far ahead.  Then you see a dent in the outside wall.  Quickening
your pace you pull yourself along to it and catching hold of the wall you 
stop yourself.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 60
    You can't inject anything unless you have the hypo-gun to inject with.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 61
    You touch the mould and jerk your hand back in pain.  An intense 
burning flares along your hand and up your arm.  You push yourself away 
from the mould and hug your arm to try to ease the pain.  But as suddenly 
as it began the burning stops.
    You look at your hand, but there is not a mark on it.  You flex your 
fingers and wave your arm about, but there is no pain or discomfort of
any kind.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 62
    At first nothing seems to happen.  Then you howl in pain as every 
vein and artery in your body seems to go on fire.  Your body jerks 
uncontrollably for over five minuets.  But you know nothing of that.  All 
that you experience is a pain so intense that you wish you where dead.
    Then it begins to ease.  You slowly recover control of your body as 
the pain recedes to wherever it came from.
    You come to your senses breathing heavily and covered with sweat.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 63
















    Or rather you would be covered in sweat and be breathing heavily if it
weren't for the fact that the drug is extremely dangerous to any normal 
human.  And round about the time you thought you were pulling out of it 
your heart stopped beating.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 64
    The creature howls in pain and crumples into a tight ball.  The howl
echos around the small chamber and you are momentarily stuned.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 65
    You pull the trigger on the hypo-gun, but all that happens is it
softly beeps twice.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 66
    You push the button on the control panel and the door slides closed.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 67
    Taking great care to avoid the patches of mould on the controls you 
push the close button on the door's control panel.
    Nothing happens.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 68
    You insert the manual override handle in the slot beside the door's
control panel and start to turn.
    At first it is quite stiff, but after you have applied enough 
pressure it starts to move.  Several minutes later after much energy has
been expended, and much sweat created by you the door locks into place,
closed.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 69
    Taking care not to touch any mould you push the open button on the 
door's control panel.
    The door slides smoothly open and you feel the tug of air escaping
into the interstellar vacuum beyond.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 70
    The blast of escaping air from the open door smashes into you and 
sends you spinning through space away from the ship.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 71
    As you pull yourself along the line of handholds you begin to loose
your concentration.  There is nothing on this featureless grey plane to 
stimulate you and the events since your awakening are begining to have
an effect on you.  You reach forward to grab the next handhold and it's 
not there.
    You snap yourself awake and find that you are slowly drifting away
from the ship.  You twist and turn but there is nothing you can do.  
Slowly but inevitably you drift away from the ship.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 72
    You insert the handle in the slot beside the door's control panel and 
start to turn.  The handle turns quite easily and the door slides smoothly
open.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 73
    You pull yourself along the line of handholds.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 74
    You push the open button on the control panel, but it has no effect.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 75
    All the blood vessels in your nose explode, your eardrums rupture
and you eyes feel as if they are on fire as your tears try to freeze and 
boil at the same time.  Luckily you remember not to hold your breath so 
your lungs are not too badly damaged.  But as your blood begins to boil 
you are not very aware of this fact.
    In 30 seconds you die a most horrible death from decompression.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 76
    You look at the curled up body in the dim light and you realise that 
it is wearing a blue jumpsuit.  You move over to it and see the company's
insignia with the name Baxter underneath.
    It's Baxter, your fellow crewmate.  You've finally found her.  But she 
dosen't look very well.
    You take her in your arms and hold her frail body close to yours.
    She seems to be talking, but her voice is so low that you have to
put your ear next to her mouth before you can hear what she is saying.
    Her voice is broken and dry but you can just make out her words.
     "Have to stop them ..... stop working .... program droids to fix it 
up ..... get out alone ...." Her words fade and come back as she mumbles 
to herself.
    Then she seems to waken, as if from a light sleep.  She opens her eyes 
and notices you.  She trys to swallow, but her mouth is too dry.  Her breath
is a hiss as she trys to speak, but no words come out.  She trys to swallow
and talk again.  This time you can just make out these words.
    "Is that .... John .... is that you Johnny?"
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 77
    Suddenly Baxter jumps at you.  She looked so skinny and frail, but as 
her hands grip your throat you realise she has hidden strength.  You try 
to pull her hands away but they are unmovable.
    Trashing about wildly you hit against her but she just tightens her 
grip.
    Your eyesight begins to fade and you hear a ringing in your ears as 
you slip into unconsciousness and death.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 78
    As she floats in your arms you realise just how thin and frail she is.
She mustn't have eaten very much for weeks.
    She trys to swallow again and manages to say these words.
    "Do you have .... got ... any water, Johnny?"
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 79
    Her voice is a bare whisper as she trys to smile and says, "No ....
didn't expect .... never .... prepared ... You?"
    She breakes into terrible fit of coughing.  Her whole body convulses, 
as she fights to control it.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 80
    It stops as suddenly as it began.  She floats in your arms for a while 
silent.  You begin to wonder if she has passed out, then her lips start to 
move again.  She swallows painfully and forces some words out.
    "It was all for the best ...  Wasn't it ?" She coughs again, but 
swallows hard to stop the next one.  "All those deaths I mean." She coughs
violently for a long minute.
    Then asks, "It will be a better world .... for all the pain we caused?"
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 81
    She smiles as she floats in your arms.
    "That's good,"  She whispers.
    The hiss of her breath slowly fades as she smiles up at you.
    You wait for her to say more.  Then you realise that she has died.
    Slowly you push yourself away from her body.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 82
    She breakes into terrible fit of coughing.  Her whole body convulses, 
as she fights to control it.  She coughs on and on, but there is nothing
you can do to help her.
    She is fighting for breath.  And every time she manages to take one it
is used instantly for another cough.
    She coughs and coughs and when she stops she is dead.
    You take a deep breath and push the body away.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 83
    You pull yourself along the narrow corridor for over ten minuets.  All
the time the curve of the corridor stops you from seeing what is ahead.
suddenly you come to a junction with another corridor.  Quickly you pull 
yourself along and out into the bulge formed by the junction.
END_MESSAGE
