- Version 4.2, fall 1984.
- First Adventure game written by His Lordship, the honorable
- Admiral D.W. Riggle
- This is a luxurious stateroom.
- The floor is carpeted with a soft animal fur and the great wooden furniture
- is inlaid with strips of platinum and gold. Electronic equipment built
- into the walls and ceiling is flashing wildly. The floor shudders and
- the sounds of dull explosions rumble though the room. From a window in
- the wall ahead comes a view of darkest space. There is a small adjoining
- room behind you, and a doorway right.
- >-:
- These are the executive suites of the battlestar.
- Luxurious staterooms carpeted with crushed velvet and adorned with beaten
- gold open onto this parlor. A wide staircase with ivory banisters leads
- up or down. This parlor leads into a hallway left. The bridal suite is
- right. Other rooms lie ahead and behind you.
- >-:
- You are in what was once an elegant stateroom.
- Whoever lived in this stateroom, he and his female companion
- were mercilessly slain in their sleep. Clothes, trinkets and personal
- belongings are scattered all across the floor. Through a hole in the
- collapsed floor I can see a hallway below. A door is behind you.
- There is a strange golden amulet on the floor here.
- >-: The amulet is warm to the touch, and its beauty catches your breath.
- A mist falls over your eyes, but then it is gone. Sounds seem clearer
- and sharper but far away as if in a dream. The sound of purling water
- reaches you from afar. The mist falls again, and your heart leaps in horror.
- The gold freezes your hands and fathomless darkness engulfs your soul.
- amulet:
- Taken.
- >-: bye.
- Your rating was novice.
