     Through the viewport can be seen the surface of the planet Alpha Centauri
III.  A long flat plain stretches before the ship.  Mountains can be seen in
the distance.
END_

MESSAGE 2
     Looking through the viewport, you can see interplanetary space.  You see
a rather large star which you recognise as Sol!  You're on your way home!  
Wait, have you set the course yet?

MESSAGE 7
     With a WHOOOOOSH, the jetpack flares to life.  You shoot up in the air!
You haven't flown one of these in a long time, but of course it's a part of
every officer's basic training.  You steer for the drillsite you spotted
through the scope.  Once overhead, you reduce thrust and land.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 8
     There's no point in activating the jetpack yet, you don't know where the
drillsite is, and your delicate back certainly couldn't stand scouting out
the countryside randomly.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 9
You aren't wearing the Jetpack, dummy!
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 10
You activate the jetpack again.  As you rise into the air, you quickly spot the
Jupiter 8 in the distance.  After a pleasant flight, you touch down in front of
the ship.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 11
Peering through the scope you scour the countryside.  Finally, you spot the
dutronium drillsite high up on a ridge.  You've found it, but how to get there.
It's much too far to walk.  The pain, the pain...
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 12
     You dip the empty Dutronium Cannister in the pool.  The Dutronium
canister is now full.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 13
You pour the dutronium fuel into the hole in the Power Core.  The lighting in
the core grows in intensity and the humming of the engines assumes a louder
pitch.  Oh joy!  The ship is fueled for the journey!  We're going back to 
Earth!  Tra-la-la!  Your bottle is now empty.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 14
The Jetpack propels you upwards into the air.  Unfortunately you are still
inside the ship.  The force of the thrust sends you not only into, but through
several bulkheads.  Images of Vince the crash dummy (not to mention steel
plates) flash through your mind.  If you thought that perhaps your body would 
pop back to its normal shape like in the cartoons, I must remind you that 
although many live action TV shows were made into cartoons in the early
seventies, Lost in Space was not one of them.
     You are dead, dead, dead.  The Rob-&-Son family wins the game.  
Unfortunately, you have lost.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 15
As you push the button, the tube closes and the cryogenic apparatus activates.
You quickly lose consciousness.  When you come to, the tube is open, and
Marine Rob-&-Son is standing over you.  "Why Dr. Schmidt, whatever are you 
doing in there?" she asks.  "I've just made a chocolate cake, wouldn't you 
rather come down and have some than play around up here?"
     "Thank you dear lady," you reply.  "You are indeed an angel of mercy in 
this grim and foreboding place."  Your opportunity to return to Earth is gone.
You must remain on Alpha Centauri with the Rob-&-Sons.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 16
As you push the button, the tube closes and the cryogenic apparatus activates.
You quickly lose consciousness.  Unfortunately, you never bothered to set the
course to Earth.  The Jupiter 8 wanders aimlessly through space.  Perhaps
someday someone will find you, or you will enter a solar system, thus causing
the tube to open, but considering the size of the galaxy (which is a
consideration here, even if it never was on a certain TV show), don't count 
on it.
     You have lost.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 17
As you push the button, the tube closes and the cryogenic apparatus activates.
You quickly lose consciousness.  Moments later, the tube opens and you step
out.  You glance at the chronometer on the wall.  The date is July 2, 2011!
Five and a half years have passed!  Quickly you glance out the viewport and 
see the planet Earth dead ahead!  You've done it!  You've returned home, and 
more importantly, you have won the game!!

FUEL TANK:  Full
AIR:        3 Year Supply for one person
FOOD:       4 Year Supply for one person
Hmm, you've got the ship fueled, but there's not enough air and food for the
5 1/2 year trip to Earth.  Wonder if there's a way around that?
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 24
You're already in space.  What's the point of lifting off, dummy?
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 25
You flip the switch a few times, but nothing happens.  The ship has no fuel.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 26
You flip the liftoff switch and the ship rises into the air.  Unfortunately 
the force field was on at the time.  The ship rams the field, causing massive 
circuit overloads.  The ship crashes back into the ground in a cloud of dust.  
There's no hope of repairing the damage before the Rob-&-Sons return, so how 
can you explain it?  Maybe you can tell them that you came back to the ship 
and found it this way.
You have lost.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 28
The ship lifts off.  Unfortunately both of the airlock doors are open.  The 
ship quickly depressurizes and you sufocate before you can get up and close 
the door.  You are dead.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 29
Never fear.  Schmidt is here!  You sit down, strap yourself in, and 
apprehensively pull the switch.  WWWWHHHHOOOOSSSHHH!!  You experience massive 
G-Forces, nose bleeds, vomiting, the whole nine yards.  You feel a stinging 
pain in your ears and swallow quickly to equalize the pressure.  Finally the 
pressure subsides, and you look out the viewport.  You see stars!  You have 
successfully lifted off, and are in space!  You remove your seat belt and get 
up.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 30
I can understand your eagerness to return to Earth, but wouldn't it be easier
to set the course if you were in the main control room (i.e. where the
astrogator is)??  Hmm?
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 31
Unfortunately, you don't know the course back to Earth yet.  Still, it must be
around here somewhere.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 32
You enter the course from the logbook into the astrogator.  The course for
Earth is now plotted, and the autopilot is set.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 33
You've already plotted the course back to Earth, remember?
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 34
EPILOGUE:  You return to Earth, and to the money paid into your secret Swiss
bank account by your former employer, Alveoli 14-Penumbra, for your work in
sabotaging the Jupiter 8 back in 1997.  You have plenty of money to satisfy
even your own elegant appetites, but remain a fugitive.  That guard at 
Alphabet Control that you slugged when you sabotaged the ship recognised you, 
and Earth authorities have known ever since the Jupiter took off that you 
were the one responsible for the sabotage.  You maintain a renegade 
existence.  Finally, with extradition treaties being what they are, you have 
no choice but to abandon Earth entirely.  Spending a good deal of your 
considerable fortune, you have the Jupiter 8 fitted with the newly invented 
warp drive and make your way o the now-thriving Earth colony on Alpha 
Centauri!  Oh the pain, the pain!  You're back where you started, but at 
least you're rich.  You go into politics and are eventually elected mayor of 
Alpha Centauri's capital city, Robotville.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 35
     Peering through the scope, you see a cloud of dust on the horizon at
extreme range.  Increasing the magnification to the limit, you can make out
the outline of the chariot, heading in this direction.  The Rob-&-Sons are
on their way back.  You'd better hurry!
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 36
     You activate the launch sequence.  Nothing happens.  Oh yes, that's right.
You took some vital parts out of the Space Pod when you were trying to convert
one of the anti-grav units into a moto-massage machine.  Fortunately nobody's
found out about that little misadventure yet.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 37
     The radio crackles to life.  "Golly gee, Dr. Schmidt.  This is Pill
Rob-&-Son, the 21st century's answer to Wesley Crusher, speaking.  Petty was
captured by a giant talking carrot, and Dad and Don had to negotiate for her
life, so we're running a little behind schedule.  But we're okay now.  Just
sit tight until we get back.  Over and out."

MESSAGE 38
     There's nothing on the radio, but static.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 39
     Both airlock doors are open.  The ship depressurizes and you are sucked
out into space.  Just before you die you realize that that should technically
be "blown out into space" rather than "sucked out".

     You open the outer airlock door, and immediately suffocate.  You are dead.

     The jetpack flares to life and you shoot up into the air.  Unfortunately,
the Force-Field Projector is on and you are propelled into the field and fried
to ashes.  When the Rob-&-Sons return, they manage to collect your pitiful
remains.  Major Pest saves them and sprinkles them on the ships entrance ramp
during the next freeze explaining:  "At last he's doing something useful."
You are dead.

MESSAGE 46
     With a roar, a maniacal slavering space creature rushes up and begins

     You aim the laser and fire at the creature.  CLICK!  With a sinking heart
you realize that the pistol is empty.  The creature rushes at you and devours
you messily.

MESSAGE 49
     You aim the laser at the $noun$ but hesitate to fire.  It might

monsters.

     You aim the laser and fire it at the $Noun$.  CLICK!  Oops, the laser

     You aim the laser and fire it at the $noun$.  The $noun$ is 
vaporised in a puff of smoke.  Ha ha!  You thought you'd get some funny

let you do it and now you've got no gun to defend yourself with.  How do you 
like that, smart guy?

     Your mother probably told you that you can't wear two outfits at the

of these things.  
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 55
     With a WHOOSH the jetpack flares to life and you shoot up into the air.
You begin to head for your destination, but a chill wind bites into you like
a knife.  You realize that you need an outfit that will keep the cold out. 
You quickly land again.

     You aim the laser at the $Noun$ and fire.  The $Noun$ is 
enveloped by a burst of energy and disintegrated.

     Jody's back is turned.  You take careful aim at her.  She wheels around
with a look of astonishment just as you pull the trigger.  The energy bolt
hits her squarely in the chest and she is vaporised.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 58
     You suddenly stop what you are doing as the full impact of what you've
done hits you.  You've killed Jody.  In 8 years of dirty tricks against the
Rob-&-Sons you've never before resorted to murder.  Stricken with remorse, 
you race down to the power core and throw yourself in where your body is
quickly reduced to its constituent atoms.

MESSAGE 61
     Jody turns around and spots you trying to make off with the lettuce.
"Now, now Dr. Schmidt," she chides.  "I need that to make our dinner.  Here,
have an apple if you're that hungry."  She takes the lettuce away from you and
hands you an apple, which you quickly devour.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 62
     You eat the lettuce.  Too late, Jody turns around and sees what you are
doing.
     "Oh, Doctor Schmidt, you can be so aggravating sometimes.  I needed that
lettuce for the dinner I was making for the both of us.  Now I've got to spend
an hour going to the hydroponic gardens to get some more."
     She hands you an apple.  "Here, if you're so hungry eat this, and try to
stay out of trouble until I get back."
     She leaves the room.  You quickly eat the apple.
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 63
     Although she is currently slicing and dicing, Jody is not one to be
trifled with.  Thinking that your mind has snapped and that you mean to do
her an injury, her Space Corps training immediately comes into play.  She
delivers a sharp blow to the back of your head and you slump to the deck
with a broken neck (She instinctively used the Vulcan Death Grip).
END_MESSAGE

MESSAGE 64
     You start to pull the launch switch, but stop short.  You can't take off
with Jody still aboard.  She would undoubtedly try to return to Alpha Centauri.
You've got to get rid of her somehow.

     "WARNING, WARNING!  DANGER, DANGER!  Unauthorised liftoff imminent!" 
The robot waves its arms wildly.  Bolts of electricity issue forth from them.
     "Do not attempt to move the Jupiter 8, Dr. Schmidt, or I shall be forced
to take extreme measures!"
     "Of course, of course, dear friend," you say.  "I was merely...testing
your circuits.  Naturally I should not dream of attempting to operate this
vessel without the express permission of Professor Rob-&-Son himself."
END_MESSAGE

    You casually touch your hand to your trouser leg and discover that the key

minutes ago.  Then you put it in your pocket, left your cabin, rode the
elevator up to the main deck, and walked outside to bid the Rob-&-Sons goodbye.
You search the campsite ground thoroughly.  It isn't here.  You must have
dropped the key inside the ship somewhere.
