Invisiclues

What is the silvery globe in the Laboratory?

1. This is a technology so far beyond current human experience that it is impossible to explain. Ask again when you fully understand the details of the Matter Intransitivity Principle of the Dornbrookian Unified Field Theory.

What do I do with the silvery globe?

1. It's a force field.
2. You can't push it or climb on it.
3. Have you tried changing the dial setting?

Can I take the blue rod?

1. You can't take it directly, but there are ways to get it.
2. There is no way to block the beam or turn it off.
3. The preferred solution starts at D. An alternate solution starts at I.
4. Have you ever tried putting anything on the sphere and then changing the dial setting?
5. You will have to learn how to use the red and blue disks before going on.
6. You could use the disks to enter the sphere ("but it would be wrong"). Put one disk under the sphere and then set the dial to 4. Step on the other disk.
7. Can you think of a way to get the disk to activate while it is in the sphere?
8. Put a disk under the sphere. Put something on the sphere. Set the dial to 4. The object placed on the globe will fall onto the disk inside, causing it to activate. Luckily, the blue rod is within range of the disk.
9. Do you know of anything that might be able to deal with these technologically-advanced forces?
10. You have probably already used something powerful and similarly advanced.
11. You can use the ray gun to eliminate the sphere momentarily and get the blue rod. However, you will find that you don't have a shot to spare for this purpose.

How do I turn off the projector?

1. You can't turn it off.
2. You can't harm it.
3. Even the ray gun is useless against it.

What causes the loud clicking sound?

1. It is probably due to air rushing in to fill the void.

What is done with the red and blue disks?

1. Although they may not appear to be much, they are probably the most sophisticated machines on the Artifact.
2. The manhole-cover size is not a coincidence.
3. Try putting both on the floor and stepping on one.
4. They have a built-in safety feature which allows them to transport things only when both are on floors.

How can the lights be dimmed?

1. They can't.
