You awaken foggily to find yourself in an unfamiliar white room... Waiting Room You're standing in a nondescript, slightly dingy waiting room with white painted walls and a tile floor. A corridor leads south into the Robot Shop. An ordinary white door leads east. It's closed. Next to the door, mounted into the wall, is a narrow slot. There is a light widget and a heavy widget here. > e Thump! You bang your nose against the closed door as you attempt this feat. > open door It isn't opening. > examine door An ordinary white door leads east. It's closed. Next to the door, mounted into the wall, is a narrow slot. > s Robot Shop This room, with an exit north, is filled with robot-like devices of every conceivable description, all in various states of disassembly. Only one robot, about four feet high, looks even remotely close to being in working order. > examine robot The de-activated robot is leaning against the wall, its head lolling to the side. It is short, and seems to be equipped for general-purpose work. It has apparently been turned off. > turn on the robot Nothing happens. > z Time passes... Suddenly, the robot comes to life and its head starts swivelling about. It notices you and bounds over. "Hi! I'm B-19-7, but to everyperson I'm called Floyd. Are you a doctor-person or a planner-person? Isn't it nice that Mark Sachs wrote this example? Let's play Hider-and-Seeker you with me." > play with floyd You play with Floyd for several centichrons until you drop to the floor, exhausted. Floyd pokes at you gleefully. "C'mon! Let's play some more!" Floyd asks if you want to play Hucka-Bucka-Beanstalk. > talk to floyd "Hi!" Floyd grins and bounces up and down. > n Waiting Room You're standing in a nondescript, slightly dingy waiting room with white painted walls and a tile floor.

He thanks you profusely. > l Waiting Room You're standing in a nondescript, slightly dingy waiting room with white painted walls and a tile floor. A corridor leads south into the Robot Shop. An ordinary white door leads east. It's closed. Next to the door, mounted into the wall, is a narrow slot. There is a heavy widget here. There is a multiple purpose robot here. The multiple purpose robot is holding: a light widget. Floyd notices a mouse scurrying by and tries to hide behind you. > turn floyd off Floyd, shocked by this betrayal from his new-found friend, whimpers and keels over, dropping what he was carrying. > open floyd In one of the robot's compartments you find and take a magnetic-striped card embossed Seenik Overluuk Akses Kard. > i You are carrying: a Scenic Overlook Access Card. > turn floyd on Floyd jumps to his feet, hopping mad. "Why you turn Floyd off?" he asks accusingly. > open door It isn't opening. Floyd tells you about the time he helped someone sharpen a pencil. > examine it An ordinary white door leads east. It's closed. Next to the door, mounted into the wall, is a narrow slot. > slide card through slot There is a loud buzz and then a click from the locking mechanism. The door opens and cold air blows into the room. "I've got a card just like that!" says Floyd. He looks through several of his compartments, then glances at you suspiciously. > e You step through the door and are stunned by the sight that unfolds. Scenic Overlook You're at a small balcony overlooking a magnificent view indeed! Apparently this area is located at the top of a gigantic cliff in the middle of a range of high mountains extending to the horizon. Looking down on the mountains you feel as if you're at the top of the world. A chill wind is blowing and the sky is absolutely clear and a very deep blue. An ordinary-looking doorway leads back into the cliff. Floyd follows you. "Ooo. Nice view," Floyd says appreciatively. > Do you want to UNDO, RESTART, RESTORE or QUIT ?
