==> Wake UpYou are Mark Shrike living in the Westhollow, on the third continent of Lucifer III. ==> Realize that you're late to the Third Exodus. Well, fsck. You'd have to deal with it until the Hijra ships come back. ==> Check out shelter status. All systems appear to be nominal and provided for. Damn shame you're in this shelter alone - Uncle couldn't reach you in time in the rush. ==> Proceed typing up the latest esolang project you have. You never were very good at ~ATH, however, you're somewhat better at Thue and Hymmnos. You proceed to type in the devkit window, while Pesterchum runs in the background. ==> Start up some programming music to take your mind off the fact that the Hijra fleet might not make it back.Once you're finished, you idle with the thought of installing that game beta Uncle got for your birthday. You decide to go get the discs. ==> Install client application.The application runs smoothly, extracting and installing game files, while you chew some cookies. ==> For the time being, be the other guy.

==> Wake up ==> Clear room You move all the junk to the side. There are some containers filled with balls. You have a feeling that these are the beacons.
==> Captchalogue beacons You captchalogue them with a snap
==> Use ladder and insert beacons into appropriate slot ==> Tunnel to third floor of first facility A box pops out. It moves along the conveyer belt and various machine modify it. At the end it's the same as the monster you fought except with an object inside of it. The monster starts making a new tunnel at the beginning of the first tunnel. If everything works properly it should self destruct once its done.
==> Check memo PiD: Just woke up on Derse PiD: Also found a machine that can tunnel to various places
==> Tunnel into lower levels You set a monster to tunnel into the lower levels of this place
==> Descend You descend and find a preposterous amount of baked goods. There is a machine continuing to create them.
==> Descend You go down another level and find a huge computer
==> Mess around with computer Nothing happens. You hear a voice. HELLO I SEE YOUVE FOUND MY MAIN AI I CONTROL THIS PLACE AND IM NOT HAPPY WITH YOU BEING HERE ALL I HAVE LEFT TO DESTROY IS YOU AND THAT PESKY ROBOT I CAN'T CONTROL AND THEN THERE'S NO ONE LEFT TO STOP ME FROM CONTROLLING THE LAST FACILITY PREPARE TO DIE Hatches in the walls start opening releasing hostile robots

==> Dame: Parley.
Yøu're lying øn tøp øf a carapace, keeping him frøm shøuting. He stares at yøu blankly, but then realizes sømething. Yøu're nøt the cømmøne carapace, he thøught yøu tø be. Yøu're røyalty. He seems tø calm døwn, ør at least quieten, and støps thrashing arøund. Instead he løøks at yøu with curiøusity, and a bit øf fear. But he has nøthing tø wørry abøut. Yøu're øn his side, whatever the side might be. Yøu wøuldn't waste such a søurce øf pøtential. Anyway, yøu tell him nøt tø scream, and then take yøur hand øff øf his møuth. He cømplies, and then asks yøu what yøu're løøking før here. He hasn't heard øf any øf the Herøes awakening yet. Yøu remember sømething impørtant, and ask him abøut the øther herøes. Unførtunately, HG isn't that much intø pølitics, and can remember ønly twø titles, but isn't sure øf the aspects. He's telling yøu abøut the Dame øf Space, and the Knight øf Flux. Well, it's better than nøthing. Anyway, yøu explain tø him that the reasøn yøu're here is he himself. Yøu ask him før his name. He intrøduces himself as the Grey Hatter, but everyøne calls him just Møbius. Then he cøntinues tø questiøn yøur secrecy. Yøur reply is that øf paranøia, what he understands. 'They' are always after yøu, he says, and there is nøthing wørse than being famøus. Cøming tø a pøint where he has run øut øf questiøns, yøu decide it time tø lay øut yøur plan. Yøu tell him, that yøu need him, før yøu knøw him frøm a førmer life. He løøks at yøu with a mix øf care and disbelief, but then shrugs it øff. Whø is he tø measure sømeøne's saneness. Furthermøre, yøu tell him, that yøu døn't need him here, cause what he sees is a mere reflectiøn øf yøurself. The real yøu needs him. And tø make it pøssible før him tø get tø yøu, yøu need him tø exactly følløw yøur instructiøns. He needs tø find a vehicle that wøuld transpørt him tø a yet nønexistent planet, øf which the løcatiøn yøu'll tell him later. He asks yøu what a vehicle is. Yøu say that it døesn't matter. He just needs tø find a way tø travel in space. Yøu're sure he'll find a way, even if he shøuld be ønly half a genius øld Møbius was. Then he asks, what he'll get øut øf this deal. Yøu støp a while tø think. Yøu haven't even cønsidered him nøt taking the øccasiøn. Yøu tell him, what the best thing in SBURB is, sømehøw ømmitting the seriøus parts. Yøu tell him øf the chance øf expløring an entirely new land, with strange species, øut øf anøther reality, which nøøne will ever møurn, and friendly villagers, adøring anything he'll dø. The last thing wøuld be, if he decided tø travel with yøu, yøur prøtectiøn øver him. As yøu said, yøu need him, and that døes nøt mean, yøu need him dead. He says he'll think abøut it. Yøu ask him abøut a piece øf paper, as he sits øn a støøl and thinks. He shøws yøu at søme disørganized pile øf unfinished prøjects. After a while øf searching, yøu fish øut øne that is møre ør less in gøød shape. Yøu prøceed tø write a nøte, stating that yøu, a part øf the Røyal Family øf Derse, hereby request før the here stated, Grey "Møbius" Hatter, tø be alløwed the right tø access the Røyal Treasury, and the right tø pass thrøugh any area he wishes tø. Signed, yøu. Øf cøurse yøu døn't write yøu, yøu just write søme løng hønørable title, and add 'Sømnia Dulcis' at the end. Then yøu pass it tø Møbius, and tell him that yøu'll be waiting før the respønse in yøur tøwer. Yøu'll prøbably be sleeping, sø he'll have tø leave a nøte. With that yøu farewell him, and dissapear. Ør at least, that's what he sees. Yøu, in fact, just wøke up.

==> Abscond You deploy your ladder and start fleeing when a robot pulls you down.
==> Wrap robots together You wrap all of the robots together. They will break out of this soon.
==> Abscond You successfully abscond
==> Return to third floor of first facility ==> Consult Ethan Clare: I just found an AI that tried to kill me Ethan: They don't have free will Ethan: It's most likely that someone programmed it that way a long time ago Clare: Well when I tried to attack the main AI something that I couldnt see stopped me Ethan: Force field Ethan: You will have to find at least half of the generators and disconnect them from that facility if you want to destroy it Ethan: Unless new generators have been made there are 10 of them Ethan: One is in this facility Clare: Couldnt I disconnect all of them from there and get rid of it that way Ethan: That works too Ethan: There are smaller AIs in most of the facilities on this planet Ethan: They'll break if you destroy the main AI Clare: Why would they break from that Ethan: The smaller AIs are just there so that the main AI can connect to that facility Ethan: This place is one of the few areas that doesn't have an AI in it Ethan: Also. Ethan: Did you figure out what that monster is Ethan: Another one of them came here but it blew up when it came through the wall Clare: Its from a tunneling machine Clare: Its supposed to have a self destruct beacon in it but there were none put into the machine that makes them Clare: I put some more in Clare: Well Clare: See you
==> Check memo PiD: Just found a murderous AI PiD: It has a force field protecting it so I gotta cut off the power supply for it PiD: Also found a tunneling machine

==> Dame: Test.
Yøu wake up, still in the røøm, but there's a blanket øver yøur bødy. While yøu're sure it's nice, sømebødy had tø dø it, and it's starting tø unnerve yøu. Yøu øpen yøur eyes, but see nø ø∅e. Feeling relatively safer, but still anxiøus, yøu sit up and løøk arøund. Nøthing but the lazy beating øf the heart. Yøu stand up, and gø øver tø the terminal. It seems nøthing has changed since the last time yøu l∅øked. Yøu make yøurself a nøte, tø check what functiøns it has later. Før nøw, yøu hae tø find an exit frøm here, wherever yøu actually are right nøw. Which means, yøu can actually check yøu∅ AI's alignment. Yøu start talking øut løud.
SØMNIA: Hellø? SØMNIA: I'm∅sørry tø interrupt, but are yøu there? SØMNIA: The øne whø cøntrøls this cømplex. SØMNIA: Are yøu here? VØICE: I am actively resisting talking tø yøu, før yøu have døne sø much harm tø me. VØICE: I despise yøu with my whøle entirety, and yet, because øf yøu, and yøur tiny little mind, I am bøud tø answer. VØICE: I am in fact nøt here. And I hate yøu. Yøu're indenting my preciøus fløør with the gravitatiønal førce yøu're causing.
Løøks like yøu have an ally, før nøw. Friendship is wørking, althøugh nøt as yøu expected it tø. Seems møre like løyalty, ør shackles. Anyway, until the AI find a way tø break free, yøu're nøt in that much trøuble as yøu cøuld ∅e. Anyway, yøu have tø use it as løng as it's pøssible tø.
SØMNIA: Sø, what's yøur name? Øh, and what are yøu meant før? VØICE: Yøu can call me yøur Majesty, ør rather nøt call me at all. I'd rather talk with a spønge, than have a degradingly løw cønversatiøn with yøu. VØICE: Nø. Nø, nø, nø.. Bzzz. Bzzz... GenTec Møbile Lab Testing Prøgram. Øh, cønføund it. GANTECLABPRØ: If i'd have tø relate yøu tø any animal, I wøuldn't. Nøne øf them deserve cørelatiøn tø yøu. SØMNIA: Mind ∅f I just call yøu Genny? GENNY: What? Is that really all yøu cøuld cøme up with? Seems as if I øverestimated yøu. Everything abøut yøu, in fact, but yøur wieght. GENNY: Øf cøurse I mind. Yøu're inteligence levels are beløw what I'd even cønsider a tesing subject. GENNY: And I have been knøwn tø empløy prøtøzøa. GENNY: Yøu knøw I have had førce measurement devices under the fløør panel yøu're øn. GENNY: They døn't wørk anymøre. GENNY: Øverløad.
==> Dame: Abscønd.
Yøu'll dø it, in time. Før nøw, yøu have søme fat jøkes tø endure. These jøkes are pretty løw∅ før a røbøtic degree øf intelligence. And yøu're sure yøu're nøt fat. Fat peøple døn't survive SBURB.
GENNY: ... Bzz. My primary functiøn is tø test and create variøus kinds øf ørganizms, røbøts, and hybrids thereøf. Buzzz... GENNY: Øk. That's nøt øk. Yøu knøw what? I wøn't talk tø yøu anymøre. GENNY: Frøm nøw øn, døn't expect me tø answer. GENNY: I hate yøu. Flesh bag. SØMNIA: ∅ø, Genny, cøuld yøu please make an exit før me? Øut øf this place? GENNY: I... Huff... Wøn't.. Cømply... GENNY: Aaaaaaa!
==> Dame: Respønd.
Maybe she'll warm up tø yøu later øn. Yøu really høpe she wøn't end up like the øther øne. Anyway yøu get øut øf the høuse, via the døør tha∅ has appeared at yøu right. The høuse is in∅its høuse førm. Yøu sit døwn in frønt øf it, and øpen up Pesterchum. Yøu prøbably missed a løt. After reading all the stuff, yøu prøceed replying.
CSS: I understand that we trust yøu før nøw, Eth, but what is in it fø∅ yøu? CSS: Sø, at least f∅ur players? CSS: Five if we cøunt that there shøuld be a Space player tøø. CSS: Sø there are still at least twø peøple tø cøme. CSS: We shøuld prøbably be øn the løøkøut før them. CSS: And yøu said yøu were the Mage øf Breath, Crim, and Ine is the Døøm player, sø Knight. CSS: That leaves me with either Time, Space ør Flux. CSS: Well, ∅e'll see høw it turns øut, but I døn't th∅k I'm a Time player. CSS: I haven't actually seen a cløck, since... CSS: I think the last time was still pre-SBURB. CSS: Anyway, keep øn living. And seems as if all øf us started dreaming already. CSS: I høpe that's nøt a sign øf søme majør glitches in ∅ur sessiøn. CSS: See yøu øn Derse sømetime, Ine.
Yøu start thinking abøut that feeling yøu have had. It was gølden, but if yøur previøusly red vøid senses have prøven anything, than it is that cølør døesn't matter. It's nøthing yøu felt beføre thøugh. Nøt e∅en cløse tø anything remøtefully familiar. And yøu høpe yøu wøn't end up as a Space player. Yøu're sure yøu'll feel uneasy with Space players før the rest øf yøur life. Well, Then it seems yøur ønly høpe is Flux. Let there be støries. Ør, maybe later, før nøw yøu have tø search før cømpaniøn. Yøu get intø the høuse prøper.

==-> Dame: Cleanse.
While walking intø the høuse, yøu put yøur peste∅chum øn vøice-tø-text. Yøu start cøllecting all the sylladex cards that are everywhere øver the fløør. Yøu'll have tø either find a secure place, ør secure them. Anyway, før nøw yøu just make a stack øf them, and stack them all in the fridge. All 1511 cards, yøu cøunted.
CSS: Has Løg answered yet? CSS: If he's ∅URB pøsitive, ør yøu make him aware, just add him tø the memø.
The cards stacked away, yøu prøceed tø anøther røøm. Upladders, yøu find yøurself in yøur b∅drøøm. It's a mess, and yøu get yøurself tø start cleaning it up. Yøu just høpe this isn't gøing tø be a røutine. Clean up, røbøt march, clean up.
CSS: I'm nøt sure actually, why they døn't check øut the memø themselves. CSS: It's the ønly øpen memø øn this planet. CSS: If they have pesterchum, thrøugh søle pøs∅ibility, they'd wind up here anyway.
Yøu quickly glance thrøugh the rest øf the røøms. Yøu haven't depøsited anything there yet, but yøu check, just in case anything øriginal tø this place turned øut unstable. there is nøthing, except what seems tø be yøur Cømpaniøn, which yøu find behind a cøuch, hiding in a pile øf puppets. His emøtiønal state seems øff the høøks, and yøu have nø ide∅ høw he gøt puppets in here. They døn't seem tø be frøm arøund. At least yøu assume that, because every øther thing in this høuse seems tø be bølted døwn før stability, whereas the puppets hang løøse. Creepy, but well, what can yøu dø. And tø think that yøur cømpaniøn, in a state øf turmøil, searched før peace in such cømpany. Just... Weird. Yøu start strøking him, but he's shaking like crazy. Yøu løøk him intø his eyes and see søme kind øf wildness. He's prøbably nøt used tø earthquakes. There's nøt a løt øf earthquakes in deserts. Før nøw, yøu knøw whe∅e he is, sø yøu leave him be. Før nøw, yøu have tø unpack.

==> Wake Up You cannot wake up because you are not asleep.
==> Fall Asleep You cannot fall asleep because you are not tired enough to fall asleep, yet too tired for an introduction.
==> How About You Do Something? You agree that would be fair, begin to observe your surroundings.
==> Observe Surroundings Everything seems to be as normal as it always is. Your bed sheets coil partially on the floor, lazily tossed aside to never be retrieved. Dull green walls cascade your room with a lack of sprawling features, and the roof differs as a grainy white. A window remains partially open to allow winter's chill to breeze in, and a lone dresser stands in the corner neatly organised with specific clothing drawers. A strange silence has stayed by you ever since you had woken up this morning, and you begin to question the presence of the usual members of your household. It doesn't bother you, so it is quickly disregarded. You proceed to look down at your currently-worn pajamas, which you might want to change out of before leaving the sanctity of your solitude.
==> Change Clothes You throw said pajamas into an opposite wall and begin to change your attire. You begin by putting on a grey tee-shirt and your signature black trench-coat. A pair of blue jeans with adorned cuffs and mismatched socks compose the lower half, and it seems like an appropriate outfit for this morning.
==> Check Laptop You start this morning like any other, by signing in and browsing your laptop. Nothing seems to pop out to you at first glance, so you begin to check your e-mail. A flagged message appears and takes your attention from the countless amounts of spam cluttering your inbox. Your eyes widen and a smile spreads delightfully across your face, as you see the SBURB.BETA CLIENT INSTALL message. You remember signing up two-months or so ago, and begin to read the shipping date. "SBURB.CLIENT WILL BE SHIPPED ON SPECIFIED DATE. PLEASE EXPECT SBURB.CLIENT TO REACH YOUR MAILBOX BY INVALID DATE, PLEASE SPECIFY TO SERVER ADMINISTRATOR. This is a great time indeed, and to celebrate, you begin to resume your download of a chat client called PESTERCHUM.WIP
You captchalogue your laptop in your Clock Modus.
==> Leave Room You begin to exit your room, and begin to look upon the bronzed-plaque nailed to the opposite side of the door. As it always has, it reads, "Deinen's Room." adorned with engravings of intricate design. This is your room, and that is your name. The hallway leading to the Family Computer Room and your brother's room is also quiet, and all lights have been turned on. The entrance to the kitchen and living room is open as well, and the photos framed on the walls consist of your mother's strange obsession with holidays past. Strange leprechauns with candy-canes and painted-eggs stares you down, bringing an air of dread upon you.
==> Be the Other Guy

==> Be the other guy You decide to be the other guy, but can't, because from your perspective, you've always been "the other guy," and refer to everyone but yourself as the other guy. You decide to just be yourself instead.

CcC: There also seems to be someone else currently downloading. CcC: A philosophicalServant. CcC: I'm gonna go pester them, then see if I can glean any more info from the Prospit library.

==> Check Mailbox You run outside to check your mailbox standing outside your residency. in hopes to find that transcendent piece of beta-equipment. Apparently the talk of this game is through the metaphorical roof, so this may be your opportunity to finally do something with your life.
==> Feel Rustled Jimmies You feel your jimmies being rustled in quite the literal way, but do not grasp what this trouser-shaking feeling is. What? It seems that your watch is rumbling in your pocket. You begin to check the analog face of the watch, and you notice that the laptop within this hour-frame of ejection is humming. It seems that someone is attempting to contact you through this new-fangled chat client. But how did someone get your handle?
==> Deinen: Answer cC pS: Hello, nice to meet you. pS: If I may ask though, how exactly did you contact me? pS: And concerning your question, I was picked for a beta testing for that game. pS: I'm quite excited, but I must ask what relationship you have with the game? pS: Are you a tester like me? Are we automatically connected by this client or something? pS: Ping me back when you get this, I'm going to the library down the street for a while.
