What am I supposed to do?
- You're supposed to complete your assignment.
- This is a high-tech university! Your partially completed paper should be accessible from your local pc.
How do I use the pc?
- First, you need to turn it on.
- Use the student id number found in your game materials.
- Use the password found in "Getting Around At G.U.E."
- Use the HELP key on the pc if your still stuck.
- See page 4 of your instruction manual for an example of how to log in.
I'm logged in, now what?
- Use the mouse to select the appropriate options.
- Try clicking the correct menu box for the editor and then for your paper.
That paper doesn't look familiar!
- Indeed. It isn't. Your might wonder what happened to it.
- It certainly seems ruined at the beginning. Maybe later pages are okay, though.
- Keep reading more of the paper as it appears.
Now where am I? It doesn't look like G.U.E. Tech to me!
- Probably just a bad dream. Wait it out.
- Your can speed things up by going along with the crowd.
- Go down.
I can't seem to get away from this place. I want to go home!
- There are many unusual things here.
- Wouldn't you like a souvenir of this trip?
- The stone is the only portable thing around.
- GET THE STONE.
- Now just be patient.
I'm home, but where's my paper?
- The hacker seems wiling to check out your problem.
- Wait for him to fin1sh looking at the situation.
- Perhaps the Alchemy Department can help you.
- Maybe it's still in one of their computers.
- Go find the Alchemy Department.
The hacker isn't very friendly, is he?
- Why should he be friendly?
- All you've done so far is give him trouble.
- Give him something other than trouble, for a change.
- What does he seem interested in, other than hacking?
- He's mentioned food occasionally, hasn't he?
- Maybe he's hungry.
- Give him some Chinese food.
- He wasn't grateful? What state did you give it to him in? Think, now, it was in the fridge!
- Think of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. How do you like YOUR food?
- Your can heat food in a microwave.
- You can tell how hot food is by touching it.
- To be careful, calibrate the microwave oven using the Funny Bones.
- Three or four minutes on HI cooks the food just right.
- ...but it will cool off after a while, so don't dawdle!
What can the hacker help me with?
- He's a proficient hacker.
- He could probably write a program to write your term paper.
- Hackers are often good at getting into things they aren't supposed to.
- If you're going to be poking around, you might want some keys.
- He'll only help you if you're nice to him. (He won't bite the hand that feeds him.)
- Look carefully at the hacker's description.
- Look at his keyring.
- Ask him about his keyring; he seems awful proud of it.
- Ask him for the master key. It ought to do the trick!
Im on the roof of the Computer enter, but there's nothing of interest here, is there?
- That's right It's just a boring place.
- You can enjoy the weather, until you freeze to death. But that's all.
