Invisiclues

What is the purpose of the ballpoint pen in the package?

1. It makes the package rattle nicely.
2. You can use it to take notes or make a map.
3. It just happened to be on Perelman's desk, as were all the other package elements.
4. Isn't it amazing how little pen technology has changed between the 1980's and the 2030's?

Why did I get "turned off"?

1. You get de-activated for several different reasons.
2. One reason: you refused to enter Simulation Mode despite repeated requests.
3. Another: you refused to go to Perelman's office when summoned.
4. A third: you messed up some of the settings in Interface Mode after being warned by Perelman not to do so again.

Why does RECORD not work at times?

1. RECORD will not function in the Epilogue, nor in any mode other than Simulation or Communication.
2. You can't RECORD if the record buffer is full. (See the record buffer question in the section on Part I.)
3. You can't RECORD if Perelman is viewing your recordings.

What is the significance of the psych test in Part II?

1. Dr. Grimwold is continuing to collect data to monitor your mental condition.
2. Have you noticed that you can give virtually any answer during the test, even really bizarre ones, and Grimwold reacts the same way?
3. The ink blots are pretty, aren't they?
4. There's no other significance. It's basically a red herring.

How does curfew work?

1. Curfew is in effect during the 2051, 2061 and 2071 simulations.
2. It begins and ends with sirens at 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. respectively.
3. It's dangerous to be outside during curfew.
