Floyd | Hal stands around, tapping his foot impatiently while you pace. The
Floyd | hall ends at three adjacent doors in the north wall.

Fang says (to Floyd), "ask hal about benj"
Floyd | "Any idea where Benj is?"
Floyd |
Floyd | Hal shrugs. "No clue."
Floyd |

Jacqueline asks, "Hm - is this where the original IntroComp release started?"
Fang says (to Floyd), "x me"
Floyd | You're in somewhat better shape, and a lot stronger, than you were a
Floyd | year or so ago before your initation, but you're still basically the
Floyd | same old Janet.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
inky says (to Floyd), "ask hal about cultists"
Floyd | [Though you may have a reason to ask about this, Janet lacks the
Floyd | context or knowledge to at this time.]

Jacqueline says,"This seems awfully familiar."
McMartin says, "This is where the original IntroComp *ended*."
DavidW says, "I'm surprised you guys had problems with the last chapter. It was the one section essentially the same as in the IntroComp release."
inky says, "ha ha"
Jacqueline says (to McMartin), "Ah."
Fang says (to Floyd), "x hal"
Floyd | He's pretty out of shape, even if you use normal standards instead of
Floyd | yours. Then again, he's had a bit of a paunch for as long as you've
Floyd | known him, and he wears glasses so thick you can barely see his eyes
Floyd | for the distortion, so you imagine your Unknown Benefactors didn't
Floyd | recruit him for his skills as a field agent.
Floyd |
Floyd | He's bright - no denying that - but you still don't really know why
Floyd | they'd be interested in him personally.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
inky says (to Floyd), "kiss hal"
Floyd | You try to avoid romantic entanglements with coworkers. Besides, he's
Floyd | not really your type.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
schep says (to Floyd), "x doors"
Floyd | The hall dead-ends at these doors. Each door has one of your names
Floyd | embossed on it in neat type.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
schep says (to Floyd), "x benj's door"
Floyd | You can't see any such thing.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
Jacqueline asks (of inky), "Always with the smoochies, eh?"
Fang says (to Floyd), "i"
Floyd | You are carrying:
Floyd | a pager
Floyd |
Floyd | >
schep says (to Floyd), "page benj"
Floyd | [page -> pager]
Floyd | I didn't understand that sentence.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
inky says (to Floyd), "open door"
Floyd | You should probably wait for instructions first. They aren't long in
Floyd | coming; the north doors swing open and you hear the PA system intone,
Floyd | "Scholars unit 17E, report individually through the doors before you."
Floyd |
Floyd | You and Hal exchange a brief glance, shrug, and proceed through your
Floyd | doors.
Floyd |
Floyd | Hopefully they'll see fit to tell you what's going on with Benj, too.

Floyd | Suspiciously Unremarkable Room
Floyd | This room is almost a hall; it's maybe ten feet wide and 30 feet long,
Floyd | and the doors are very nearly diagonally opposite one another. The exit
Floyd | door stands open in the north wall.
Floyd |
Floyd | It's so aggressively unremarkable that it makes you suspicious. If
Floyd | rooms had eyes, this one's would be shifty.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
inky says (to Floyd), "x door"
Floyd | Which do you mean, the hallway door or the white door?
Floyd |
Floyd | >
inky says (to Floyd), "white"
Floyd | This door leads south, back to the foyer. You need to go north.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
inky says (to Floyd), "x hallway door"
Floyd | The hallway door to your north leads to the briefing room, which is
Floyd | where you're supposed to be going. It stands invitingly open.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
inky says (to Floyd), "x floor"
Floyd | You can't see any such thing.

inky says (to Floyd), "jump"
