"Special commands"	--	"A sensible command is EXITS. It lists the currently available exits. As soon as new routes are opened, they are listed, also. You can see a recap of available exits on the top (status) bar. The capitalized directions lead to yet-to-be-seen locations."	--
"Included in the game's package"	--	"[italic type]Andromeda Apocalypse[roman type] comes packed with some collateral material: a postcard, pictures and some referenced material. If you find something during play that mentions one of such objects, just check for the reference number (Ref.xxx) to find the appropriate article. The included feelies are not needed to solve the game."	--
"Credits"	--	"Release 1 of [italic type]Andromeda Apocalypse[roman type] was betatested and proofread by Neil Butters, Wade Clarke, Francesco Cordella, D. J. Hastings, Kevin Jackson-Mead, Andy Joel, Joey Jones, Paul Lee, and Andrew Schultz. Release 2 (The Extended Edition) was tested by Paul Lee and Andrew Schultz. All of them earned my most enduring gratitude. The whole text has been de-[italic type]inglisc[roman type]ized by Sam Kabo Ashwell, with help from almost everyone of the aforementioned testers.[paragraph break]If you have suggestions, corrections or flames, feel free to contact me at [bold type]minnocenti@kidstudio.it[roman type]. Of course, it would not be lethal to write me some (eventual) pleasantries, also."	--
"More Credits"	--	"This story has been written using Inform 7 by Graham Nelson (and friends -- I really need to read that list, sooner or later).  It uses the following extensions: Plurality, Basic Screen Effects, and Basic Help Menu by Emily Short; Glulx Boxed Quotation by Eliuk Blau; Adaptive Hints and Exit Lister by Eric Eve; Multiple Sounds by Massimo Stella; Real-Time Delays by Erik Temple. Thanks to the respective authors for easing the author's job so much. Also, thanks to Wade Clarke, Dannii Willis, Andrew Schultz, and Andrew Plotkin for their help in coding the hardest parts."	--
"Mea Culpas"	--	"The original game, to which [italic type]Apocalypse[roman type] tries to be a reasonable sequel, was filled with a cartload of bulls**t. The main example is the picture on the laser disc contained in the 'Beacon', which I erroneously described as a 'couple of human beings'. As many understand, the actual copper-and-gold-plated object inside the real 'Beacon' is not a laser disc and depicts no human being. Actually, the censorious governments of the era forbade the depiction of nudity on the disc, and so some far less explicit scientific drawings were used. What I'm saying here is NOT that I'm trying to make amends in this game for the last one's sins. Just: close an eye... and, sometimes, close them both."	--
"What are the Hyerotropes?"	--	"The sad truth is that… we don't know.[paragraph break]The history of the Hyerotropes, as narrated in [italic type]Andromeda Awakening[roman type], is shrouded in a veil of mist. All we know is that they have been found, hidden in the deep underground of the planet Monarch, about 3,000 years prior to the events depicted in [italic type]Awakening[roman type]. The first colonists, known as the Ancestors, have come to the galaxy of Andromeda in a trip through time and space following an ancient probe (the [']Beacon[']) that has been abducted by the Hyerotropes from the outer layers of the Solar System. Following the breadcrumbs left by the Beacon, the Ancestors found a planet worth colonizing: the New Heaven. Hidden by millennia-old layers of rock, the Hyerotropes lay dormant there until the devastating effects of world-shattering tides somehow switched them on.[paragraph break]The Hyerotropes are perfect black spheres of nature unknown. They have proven to be somewhat intelligent and [']living['], with some unique mechanics involved in their functioning. First, the Hyerotropes [']breathe[']: their surface grows and shrinks while their radiation level increases. Second, they seem to be able to disrupt the laws of physics by challenging the mass, the energy and the shape of matter. Using this power, they have formed a wormhole to catch the [']Beacon['] (actually, the Voyager II probe) and pull it to Andromeda thousands of times faster than the speed of light. Finally, the Hyerotropes seem to corrupt their surroundings by laying a set of luminous, living tentacles which convert even stone to a sort of cold, azure light.[paragraph break]The main character, Ektor Mastiff, has escaped the exploding planet of Monarch aboard a Hyerotrope, and is now trying to find a way to save himself, along with his knowledge.[paragraph break]Up to now, the motives behind the Hyerotropes['] behavior are unknown."	--
"Who is Ektor Mastiff?"	--	"The main character of the Andromeda series is a scientist and a researcher, as well as a teacher in the University of Monarch. He found himself involved in a trial of gargantuan scope when his best friend and colleague, Dr. Andy Re's, was found dead in an alley, shot in the back by some unknown assailant (you can discover more about it playing the excellent game [italic type]Andromeda Dreaming[roman type] by Joey Jones). The story behind it is that both Ektor and Andy were responsible for a groundbreaking discovery: under the soil of planet Monarch, a new form of energy, named Alpha radiation, started growing to detectable levels just two weeks before the coming of the tides that would have destroyed Monarch itself. Someone (details withheld to avoid spoiler) killed Andy to prevent the news being made public. With the discovery in hand, Ektor departed towards the University to show the Scientific Committee. During his trip, however, a fierce quake devoured his train, and he survived the crash by mere luck.[paragraph break]As far as we know, no one else has survived the tides and Ektor is the only living being in the galaxy, floating in space with the sole support of his knowledge… and of a unused, expired railway ticket."	--

A pair of now useless rails departs from here and falls into the darkness before you[first time].[paragraph break]The sight reminds you too easily of the devouring grounds that were left from the train wreck in which your ordeal started. It lacks the flames and the smoke, but it really is a twin scene.[paragraph break][italic type]What has happened here, [roman type]you wonder, looking into the gaping hole.

But most of all, what strikes you as a perfect mimic is the object filling the center of the room."

Some chess players are fixed in place in the Chess Room. "Two men, seated and facing each other, play a game around a six-sided table, in an everlasting match." The description is "They are made of stone[if the strange statue is known], statues of the same kind you found in that corridor[end if].

Section 7 - The Thousand Lights Room

The Thousand Lights Room is north of the Chess Room. "A six-sided room[first time], again[only]. Each wall is covered in a myriad of tiny bulbs, each one the size of a bee's eye.

		say "A[if we have examined the chess players]nother, stronger[end if] beep fills the room. All of a sudden, many of the dormant lights come to life and the whole room is turned into a dance floor. The air starts circulating -- probably the air conditioning kicking in -- and something appears above the large cubic device and on the small viewscreen."
	

Section 8 - Hexagon

Hexagon is north of Second Station. "[first time]The narrow tunnel opens into a well lit area. Your eyes take a second to adjust to the brilliance.[paragraph break][only]A hexagonal room, lined in plaster and steel, with six doors opening into six more locations.

The bit of space depicted is but a portion of the one theorized by Neulanean scientists. Also, you may want to note that some of the galaxies -- whose brilliance, by what you call the [italic type]apparent magnitude[roman type], is higher than 4.0 -- produce themselves in a rather elegant [bold type]pattern[roman type]." 

Before examining the glass table when LOGAN is knowing:
	if the glass table is depleted:

Section 10 - The Forebridge

The Forebridge is northwest of the northwest door. "An[first time]other[only] hexagonal chamber, this time rather larger than the previous ones. A set of lounge chairs dots the place, each of the seats resting empty in front of a terminal. To the north, a four-by-two-meter screen almost entirely covers the wall. This is [if the Forebridge is not commented]probably [end if]the main bridge of the ship."

Some lounge chairs are scenery in the Forebridge. They are an enterable supporter. Understand "chair/seat/seats/lounges" as the lounge chairs. They are ambiguously plural. The description is "The many chairs, more than a dozen, are each facing a different console, as would suit any regular ship commanding bridge."
Instead of taking or pushing or pulling the lounge chairs, say "The lounge-chairs are all riveted to the ground."
Instead of turning the lounge chairs, say "You spin one of the chairs, reminiscent of your games at the campus[first time]. This time, the effort provides no amusement[only]."
Instead of entering or climbing the lounge chairs, say "You don't need (nor have time) to rest."

The big screen is scenery in the Forebridge. The description is "The screen is dark." Understand "ship/blueprint/arcadia/tiny/dots/invisible/line/strange/little/drawing/hundred-legged/spider" as the big screen when the big screen is charged.
Instead of switching on or switching off the big screen, say "You can't seem to find the switch."

Some consoles are scenery in the Forebridge. Understand "terminal" as the consoles. The description is "A series of terminals and consoles[first time]. You can't understand the symbols on their keyboards and screens, you can't understand the purpose of any of them, and you can't understand how to activate them. Enough said[only].[if LOGAN is knowing][paragraph break]LOGAN://'[first time]The terminals were used by the crew to command the ship. I could be an aid to the navigational systems, but Neulanean rules prohibited a computer from ruling a ship, so I could act only if interrogated.

Instead of switching on or switching off the consoles, say "[if LOGAN is knowing]LOGAN://'The consoles can't be switched on or off, Ektor Mastiff. They are rigged to the mainfraime.'[else]There is no power switch. None evident, anyway.[end if]".
[Before showing the consoles to LOGAN when LOGAN is knowing:
	say "LOGAN://'The terminals were used by the crew to command the ship.

I can address you to any important device on the bridge, in case you need it -- and know what you are doing.'";
	stop the action.]
	
Does the player mean entering the lounge chairs: It is very likely.

Section 11 - Through Belmont and Keller(s)

Belmont is west of Second Station. The printed name is "Through Belmont and Keller". "[First time]As you enter the brilliant avenue of steel and plaster, you are choked with panic.[paragraph break]The wide tunnel is an unbelievably perfect replica of a place you know far too well. The curving ceiling, the polished walls, the shining lights that strobe in your eyes: All is coming at you from the recent past, from your last steps into what you once dared call civilization.[paragraph break][only]This looks like the section of highway that dives under the Garath Sea, west of Brouguoise and back home in Capital Monarch, to all the people in town known as 'Belmont and Keller', after the avenues it runs through. No cars, no traffic and no toll booth, but all the rest is here, replicated tile-by-tile[first time].[paragraph break]It takes you about three minutes to recover from the shock. After that, memories of a gone world start tumbling in your forehead like a cascade of freezing water.[paragraph break][Italic type]Gone[roman type], you sigh. [italic type]Gone. Gone. Gone[roman type][only]." It is in BelKel.

The bars gate is a door. It is west of Belmont. "[if closed]A giant gate, several bars lining up like matches in a box, blocks the way to the west, where the tunnel continues[else]The bars of the gate are lifted and now stick into the ceiling like a giant's teeth[end if]." The description is "Sturdy steel bars, [if closed]closing your way to the other side[else]now partly retracted into the ceiling[end if]."
Instead of opening or closing or pushing or pulling or taking the bars gate, say "Each of the bars is ten centimeters wide and can easily survive an explosion. You must find some other way to operate it."
Instead of entering the bars gate, say "There is not enough space between the bars."

Instead of taking the bars gate:
	if emergency measures terminal is charged:
		say "Oh! That is not the kind of bars you need to activate the self-destruction.";
	else:
		say "The bars are fitted into the walls and ceiling of the tunnel.".

	
Instead of answering LOGAN that "gate/bars" when LOGAN is knowing:
	if the bars gate is closed:
		try asking LOGAN to try opening the bars gate;
	else:
		try asking LOGAN to try closing the bars gate.
		


Keller is west of the bars gate. The Printed name is "Through Belmont and Keller, other side of the gate". "The tunnel runs east to west, into [if MouthWhale is visited]the docks of the ship[else]a very big chamber[end if]." It is in BelKel.

MouthWhale is west of Keller. The printed name is "In the Mouth of the Whale". "[First time]You begin to realize the actual size of the giant structure you have shipwrecked on the very moment the open space in front of you is revealed.[paragraph break][only]At least six hundred meters wide, two hundred high and[first time]... well,[only] three kilometers long, the hangar could probably harbor all of your skyscraper block in Monarch with spare room for a garden and a supermarket. The place has been trashed by some unknown force, its former content scattered around and devastated.[paragraph break]The docks are to the northwest, west and southwest, while south and north the enormous chamber continues, among debris, spare ship parts, crates and boxes of every kind and size." It is in the Bay Area.



Section 13 - The Hangars

Hangar_N is north of MouthWhale. The printed name is "Hangar, north". "[First time]After a -- long -- walk, you reach this corner of the docks area.[paragraph break][only]The place is a mess[if the Hangar_S is visited], but not as much as the south side[end if]. Crates and equipment pieces are scattered all around the floor, remains of a devastating incident. The hangar continues south, southwest and west." It is in the Bay Area.

A pod is an enterable container in the Hangar_N. It is fixed in place. It is open. "[if the location is Hangar_N]A sort of egg-like pod shines, through the debris, under a transparent tube coming off of the ceiling[else]A pod is ready, here, waiting for passengers[end if]." The description is "A glass and metal egg-shaped pod, containing just a seat." Understand "egg/egg-like/egg-shaped/glass/metal/seat/transporter/nav/nav-pod" as the pod.

Every turn when the player is in the pod for 2 turns:
	now the pod is depleted.
	
Every turn when the pod is charged:
	say "LOGAN://'[First time]This is a nav-pod. You can use it to travel to different sections of the ship. The one still available, at least: the power leakage has made many hubs no more accessible.[paragraph break][only][one of]Do you want me to push you somewhere?

[-----------------------------]

Hangar_S is south of MouthWhale. The printed name is "Hangar, south". "[First time]After a -- long -- walk, you reach this corner of the docks area.[paragraph break][only]The place is [if the Hangar_N is visited]even more of [end if]a mess[if the Hangar_N is visited] than the north side of the harbor[end if].

A hatch is a door. It is south of Hangar_S. It is not apparent. "[if the hatch is closed]A tall hatch hides behind crates on the wall of the hangar[else]The tall hatch stands now open[end if]." The description is "[if the hatch is closed]The hatch is closed and broken. Some of the larger crates have collapsed on it, twisting the metal doors and making them inoperable[else]The crates have been scattered around by the vacuum explosion and the hatch has somehow lifted to the open position[end if]." Understand "metal/door/doors" as the hatch.
Instead of doing something other than examining to the hatch, say "The hatch is broken beyond repair."

After printing the locale description of the Hangar_S when the Hangar_S is travelled:
	say "LOGAN://'There you go, Ektor Mastiff. I dropped the ELSS[']s pneumatic environment system to a halt, then powered it back full force. The result was like using a sucker on a clogged tube, if you get what I mean. I wasn't sure it worked.'";
	now the Hangar_S is untravelled.



Section 14 - The Docks

Docks is west of Mouthwhale and southwest of Hangar_N and northwest of Hangar_S. "The mouth of the ship is open and shouting at the universe. All of the bulkheads are retracted, leaving a unique sight for your sore eyes. In absence of an atmosphere, the sky is crystalline and every shadow is intense as if painted with a black varnish. A soft wind caresses your skin and you shiver at the thought of its origin[first time].[paragraph break][italic type]I'm breathing and feeling warm in actual absence of an atmosphere. This is beyond science. It's magic, [roman type]you consider[only]." It is in the Bay Area.

A foundered ship is fixed in place in the Docks. "The remnants of[first time] what you'd call[only] a foundered ship are jabbed into the pavement near the open bay. A broken wing emerges from the metal floor like a rampaging shark aimed at a flying prey." Understand "remnants/remnant/grounded/relict/shuttle/jabbed" as the foundered ship. The description is "You wonder what could have grounded this ship -- a mistake during the docking sequence? a drunk pilot? What you know is that the impact must have been very strong, as the ship has penetrated the bay's floor for over ten meters.[paragraph break]A broken wing pops out of the floor near the shuttle carcass."
Instead of taking or pushing or pulling or turning the foundered ship, say "The ship won't budge, as you would have thought."
Instead of entering or climbing the foundered ship, say "The only visible entrance is half buried under the floor, in the place where the ship collided with the metal structure of the docks."
The broken wing is part of the foundered ship. The description is "The wing pops out of the ground. A compartment stands open just at the point where it encounters the main body of the foundered ship." Understand "atilt/shark/rampaging/aiming/flying/prey" as the broken wing.
Instead of taking or pushing or pulling or turning the the broken wing, say "The wing is well stuck into the floor."
Instead of climbing the broken wing, say "You begin crawling over the atilt wing, but soon discover it would need the courage and the prowess of an acrobat."
The compartment is part of the broken wing. It is an open container.
Instead of opening or closing the compartment, say "There is no lid: it probably flew off during the accident."
Instead of entering the compartment, say "There is not enough space for a grown up man to fit the compartment."

A translucid bar is in the compartment. The description is "The bar is one-and-a-half meters long. Its surface is glossy[if the translucid bar is novalit]. It is glowing intensely[else if the translucid bar is novawarm]. It is radiating intense heat[end if]."
Before taking the translucid bar for the first time:
	deactivate the Table of FindingBar Hints;

"[First time]After a -- long -- walk, you reach this corner of the docks area.[paragraph break][only]This is the southernmost side of the giant mouth opening into the sky. Apart from broken equipment and trashed boxes, the place is worthless."

The forgotten cabinet is fixed in place in Docks_S. It is a closed openable container. "[First time]Or maybe not.[paragraph break][only]In the darkest corner of the hangar, a solitary, forgotten cabinet stands evidence of a former life." The description is "The cabinet is made from plastic, maybe the only thing that could have survived in this place." Understand "solitary/plastic/evidence" as the forgotten cabinet.
Instead of taking or pushing or pulling or turning the forgotten cabinet, say "The cabinet seems to be firmly fixed in place."

The white jumpsuit is in the forgotten cabinet. It is wearable. The description is "[if the jumpsuit is worn by the player]The jumpsuit is dirty and crinkled, but it serves well in a pinch. It is just your size.[first time] Talk about luck, huh?[only][else]An old-as-time white jumpsuit, incredibly dusty and crinkled.[end if]". Understand "suit/dirty/crinkled/old/old-as-time" as the white jumpsuit.
After wearing the white jumpsuit, say "You push yourself inside the jumpsuit[first time]. It fits perfectly[only]."
After taking off the white jumpsuit, say "You pull yourself out of the jumpsuit. Whew, it was hot in there!".


Instead of exiting when in the Docks: try entering the crystalline blackness. Instead of exiting when in the Docks_N, try entering the crystalline blackness. Instead of exiting when in the Docks_S, try entering the crystalline blackness.



Chapter 6 - A Place in the Universe

Section 1 - The Reliquary

The Reliquary is a room. The printed name is "The Reliquary". "[First time]There is a place, in your heart, where you are sure all the grievous moments will play a ghastly rehearsal for the rest of the life you still have to live. A place where the same striking images follow one after the other as a sort of stop-motion nightmare with just three frames.[paragraph break]The first one is the earth opening beneath your feet and devouring your world. The second, the very moment you unknowingly said goodbye to Andy and to everything you had.[paragraph break]The third is now flickering in your face as a film about to burn.[paragraph break][only]A dark, metal-plated room. The ceiling ten meters above. The floor a matrix of ebony-colored tiles. A cave, you might call it. A cave of the soul."

The vessel is an open enterable container in the Reliquary. It is fixed in place. "[first time]And then a sphere: [only]A dark, shiny sphere [first time]-- your enemy, your nemesis -- [only]breathing slowly in the east side of the room, its thousand luminescent tentacles strangling reality and changing it at its will.[paragraph break]The Hyerotrope, the end of all life.[paragraph break]Half buried in the ground, [first time]as per the first time you met each other in the fiery depths of drowning Monarch, [only]its four dots are blinking in the dark." Understand "hyerotrope/sphere/dark/shiny/enemy/nemesis/door/opening" as the vessel. The printed name is "Hyerotrope". The description is "The Hyerotrope has sunk into the ground far more than the one you discovered in the depths of Monarch. A door is open on its side, half hidden by the floor but still enterable to the east. Four red dots line up above the opening, eyes you cannot inquire."
Instead of touching or pushing or pulling or turning the vessel, say "You touch the Hyerotrope. You can feel it breathe."
Instead of opening or closing the vessel, say "You know how it works. Just enter it and the Hyerotrope will welcome you."
Instead of attacking the vessel, say "LOGAN://'I understand your frustration, but this is really your only option for leaving thins ship.'"
Instead of attacking the vessel with something, try attacking the vessel.

Some dots are part of the vessel. The description is "The four dots are all lit. This means the Hyerotrope is alive and kicking." Understand "light/blinking/half/buried/four/4" as the dots.
Some thousand luminescent tentacles are part of the vessel. The description is "A maze of tiny canyons depart from the Hyerotrope and cuts its way into the floor and walls of the room. Its light is cyanotic and cold." Understand "canyons/light/cyanotic/cold/maze" as the thousand luminescent tentacles.
Instead of touching the thousand luminescent tentacles, say "The light is cold but unsubstantial."

Instead of entering the vessel, try going east.

After going east from the Reliquary:

Table of Room Hints
Room	Hint
Chess Room	"This is the main control room for the commanding crew. It is now unavailable due to damage sustained. [Bold type]Time[roman type] has put too much of a burden on the delicate instruments"
Thousand Lights Room	"This is the scanning and computing lab. I'm using this to learn your language"
Second Station	"This is the fore-hub of the rails. From here, you could travel to a lot of destinations. Many are inaccessible at the moment, though, due to damage or decay of the lines"
Crossroads	"You are in a junction between the fore and the back-hub of the rails"
Train Station	"This is the back-hub of the rails. It was once a very busy station, leading to the leisure and scientific areas"
Freezing Chamber	"This is a warehouse. In here, specimens are kept under cryogenic environment[first time]. I suggest you wear something, Ektor Mastiff. It is very cold in here[only]"
LabTwo	"The examination laboratory"
LabOne	"This one is a living-specimen laboratory. Each case was once filled with bacteria or other alien lifeforms found along the [bold type]Arcadia[roman type]'s route"
Docks	"To oblige me to open the docks, the Commanders had to override the [bold type]security[roman type] system protocols. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for me to go on and kill the crew"
Hangar_N	"The [bold type]nav-pod[roman type] is the fastest way to travel the [bold type]Arcadia[roman type]. You can enter it and command for destinations throughout the ship. Unfortunately, many hubs are clogged, unavailable or not reachable due to the [bold type]power[roman type] reserve mode"
Mixer	"This is a commanding cabinet for the bow section of the ship. Here you can operate the rails between stations, the Observatory bulkheads, and all of the ship main functions"
Forebridge	"You are in the very heart of the [bold type]Arcadia[roman type] commanding throne. If you need assistance using any of the systems, feel free to ask -- although most of the functions of the ship are now unavailable"
Commanders Quarters	"You are the last commander of this ship, Ektor Mastiff. You may want to act like one. If I can I will try and help you in fulfilling your goals"
Hexagon	"The many broken doors lead to the crew quarters. I suspect there is still someone trapped in there. Of course, no more living"
Belmont	"This was the main artery of the ship, traffic being usually frantic in here. It connects the stations to the docks"
Hangar_S	"The hatch to the south once led to the third station of the [bold type]Arcadia[roman type]. The stern of the ship is a place you should see. It has halls one hundred times larger than this one. Too bad much of it is powerless and unreachable"
Low_corr_N	"This two, sitting here, were dead before I discontinued the [bold type]ELSS[roman type]. They turned to stone in the position thy had when they died. I suppose they were hugging each other"
Low_corr_NE	"Part of the ship was designed [']on-the-go['] during its first installment. Some of the locations in it look ridiculously bad-placed due to the fact there was no actual plan before building them. When new areas were needed, they were built. And some, like this section of the corridors, were left like this [']just in case['], if you know what I mean. Guess the planner didn't find a purpose for them, in the end"
Stuck_Hyero	"The objects you call the Hyerotropes are indeed very old. Traces of a [bold type]mythology[roman type] regarding them can be found in ancient scripts from Neulan written four-thousand years before the [bold type]Arcadia[roman type] left the planet"
Power Control Room	"As you supposedly understood, this is a power cell. It can energize a large part of the bow section of the ship, but only for a limited time. The batteries are indeed almost over"
Low_corr_SS	"It's hard to tell why they decided to make the ledge retractile; it's clear, though, that no living being could jump the gap when the ledge is closed"
Observatory Room	"This was the relax area of the ship. Due to the limited amount of space, the Observatory was accessed after a quite long queue. All had the rights to be here, but sometimes you had to wait a month before finding a single vacant seat. The [bold type]Commanders[roman type] were thinking about asking for an entrance fee, but in the end they decided otherwise"
Clogged Railway	"You are able to breathe in here due to the intervention of the [bold type]ELSS[roman type]"
Reliquary	"I am fascinated by the nature of the objects you call the Hyerotropes. What puzzles me most is the matter-transforming device they put into effect as soon as they settle somewhere"
Worst Tunnels	"[first time]The place is flooded. The pools in the section above must have collapsed. The lack of energy in the place forbids me to know what actually happened. [only]The AI hub is unreachable at the moment, from here. I suggest you find an alternate route"
Air Duct	"This is a section of the conditioning system of the ship. Your destination lies ahead[first time]. Be warned, though: after going down from here, you won't be able to come back from the same route[only]"

It has been calculated that the result of a disruption in the mass effect of major stars can lead to a supernova chain reaction that can disintegrate a galaxy in less than 500 of your years. The mass effect disruption has usually been triggered by the entities you call Hyerotropes. The [bold type]Hyerotropes[roman type] increase the rate of expansion of the ultimate supernova by locally manipulating the gravitational constant, changing the nature of the universe in that region of space.

Table of LOGAN's comments
Location	Comment
Chess Room	"Lt. [bold type]Hesld[roman type] and Capt. Ttscy. Their bodies were the last to become inert. They wanted it this way"
Second Station	"This is the sternbound hub for the railways of the [bold type]Arcadia[roman type]. I'm afraid that most of the routes are either clogged or powerless"
Hexagon	"You can recognize the Commanders['] area by the unique shape of the rooms. Most are six-sided, like this one. Due to the power leakage, some of the doors have rested shut for so much [bold type]time[roman type] they are now useless. You can take the two still working to gain access to the Commanders['] Quarters, to the north, or the Forebridge, to the northwest"
Commanders Quarters	"This has been a much livelier place, back in [bold type]time[roman type]. The table in the center of the quarters is a holographic projector. It was used by the crew to gaze at the stars, both for leisure and for study. You may wish to investigate it"
Train Station	"You have reached the bowbound station of the ship. Again, most of the routes are unavailable"
Forebridge	"This is where orders were given and plans designed. You are in the very heart of the [bold type]Arcadia[roman type] commanding throne. If you need assistance using any of the systems, feel free to ask -- although most of the functions of the ship are now unavailable"
Belmont	"The tunnel leads to the docks. Let me open the [bold type]gate[roman type] for you, Ektor Mastiff"
MouthWhale	"Welcome to the docks, Ektor Mastiff"
Docks	"The mouth of the docks was opened the last day of the [bold type]Arcadia[roman type]. The [bold type]Commanders[roman type] asked for it, so that the external environment could fill the ship and put an end to all remaining life. The [bold type]ELSS[roman type] kicked back in action as you entered the ship. To oblige me to open the docks, the Commanders had to override the [bold type]security[roman type] system protocols. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for me to go on and kill the crew"
Hangar_S	"The hatch to the south once led to the third station of the [bold type]Arcadia[roman type]. Now, after the devastation of the docks, it is unusable"
Docks_S		"During the large amount of [bold type]time[roman type] the docks have been left open, a lot of [bold type]debris[roman type] have drifted in here. The [bold type]gravitational[roman type] mass of the ship is enough to attract even medium-sized starships"
Stuck_Hyero	"Scans indicate no activity from the vessel. Radiation: zero. Mass oscillation: zero. Input/output: zero"
Low_corr_NE	"I'm afraid this is the end of the tunnel. There is no other way than going back. I suppose this is the result of a bad mistake from the early stages of the ship's design"
Low_corr_SE	"The ledge attached to the other side of the tunnel was built by some of the passengers after a meteorite pierced the hull on year three of the stranding of the [bold type]Arcadia[roman type]. It's hard to tell why they decided to make it retractile; it's clear, though, that no living being could jump the gap when the ledge is closed"
Reliquary	"This is your [bold type]vessel[roman type], Ektor Mastiff. This is the only way you have out of this galaxy.'[paragraph break]But you don't listen. There's a voice in your head whispering deathly words.[paragraph break]'What for,' you ask yourself. 'This is just... just...'[paragraph break]LOGAN://'Unfortunately, it seems that the [bold type]corruption[roman type] has done too much damage to the ship. The object you call the [bold type]Hyerotrope[roman type] has sunk into the floor"
Radio	"It seems that the object that has pierced the hull in this section of the ship has done its share of damage to the radioactive bars of the self-destruction engine. It seems you have to find an adequate substitute to power the sequence"
Freezing Chamber	"This is a warehouse. In here, specimens are kept under cryogenic environment. The large container holds Specimen 6,725"
LabTwo	"This laboratory was used to inspect dead specimens. It was forbidden to kill a creature or to perform pervasive tests on them that could cause injury or pain. I made sure it never happened"
Clogged Railway	"This was another departing route for other sections of the ship. The damage rendered the place unusable"
Observatory Room	"Look at the stars, Ektor Mastiff. That enormous flare is the omega [bold type]supernova[roman type]. It is about to reach our ship. It's sad that the most impressive force of nature is also so dangerous to all life species able to see it"
Mixer	"I sense you already have been playing with the commands, Ektor Mastiff. Nice job, on your behalf"
Worst Tunnels	"This was part of the main recycling area of the Arcadia. Through here, waste was taken to the disposing facilities and converted into edibles or other organic forms. As part of the ship has been destroyed by objects piercing its hull, the waste factory is now out of reach"
Central Processing Unit	"This is where LOGAN is really stored. The interface you activated earlier is just one of the 300 terminals scattered throughout the ship. The [bold type]hovering[roman type] cube in front of you is where my CPU resides"

Table of Shows
Object	Analisys
consoles	"The terminals were used by the crew to command the ship.

I can direct you to any important device on the bridge, if you need it -- and know what you are doing"
lounge chairs	"These are the chairs for accommodating the crew in the main bridge"
[translucid bar	"The bar you are holding is depleted. You need to [bold type]charge[roman type] it to use it here"]
Voyager II	"My sensors reveal this to be a probe. It is quite old, maybe more than 4,000 years. The disc that came from it has given me much information about your origin. Your race is not aboriginal to Andromeda, I understand"

large container	"This freezing cell is still functioning. Actually, it may be one of the only energy-draining systems still active. It contains a life form, thus I cannot -- by the protocols -- shut it down"
frozen creature	"Specimen 6,725 is still alive in cryogenic life support. It is to be considered extremely dangerous and to be kept captive at any cost"
glass dome	"The dome was one of the most used sources of amusement on the Arcadia. Until the ship got [bold type]stranded[roman type], I mean"
expanding supernova	"That is the omega [bold type]supernova[roman type]. It will be here soon. The ship shields wouldn't have protected us even if they were still functioning"
central console	"This is the remote control for a lot of mechanisms inside the ship"

big screen	"[if the big screen is charged]The Arcadia is quite a [bold type]big[roman type] ship. The mother of all ships, they said[else]The screen was used to show blueprints or actual camera takes of the ship's exteriors"
bars gate	"You can ask me to open the [bold type]gate[roman type], if you want"
vessel	"This is the object you call the Hyerotrope. Another, smaller one is resting broken on port side of level 22, where you collided with the ship. This specimen is indeed alive and awake. You can see its tentacular self violate the ship's structure"
thousand luminescent tentacles	"This is the way in which the Hyerotrope changes the surroundings to gather energy and nourishment. And I think there is more: It is like the Hyerotrope expands into its vicinity beyond its free will, as if forced by its nature, more than self-indulgence"
dots	"The dots are all lit. It has been like these for about two-hundred-thousand years"
bars holder	"You can put a size-equivalent object in the place of the disintegrated fuel bars missing"
trashed content	"Many years of violence from outer space rendered this place to pieces. It's a fortunate instance that so much is still afoot"

cpu_real	"That is my mainframe. If you disconnect that, I... die, if you allow me the term"
cpu_backup	"That is just a backup of my Operating System. The backup is due in two hours from now. The last one has been archived forty-five minutes ago. Quite fresh, I may say"

Part 6 - The Afterwords

Table of Final Question Options (continued)
final question wording	only if victorious	topic	final response rule	final response activity
"check your SCORE"	false	"score"	achievements rule	--
["find what's WRONG with the technical stuff"	true	"wrong"	ancestors rule	--
"read some AFTERWORDS from the author"	true	"afterwords"	afterwords rule	--]

[This is the afterwords rule:
	say "I was in my car, early summer of 2011, driving my wife to our mountain resort, when I started teasing her with some scientific trivia about the galaxy of Andromeda. Kid was in the backseat, already dozed off, the sun did shine and the birds were singing. I begun flapping my never-stopping mouth about distances, dimensions, the sheer number of stars involved, when she begun yawning. I got the message and shut up.[paragraph break]But didn't shut up on the [italic type]inside[roman type].[paragraph break]That is how my first IF story had birth. I run to the house, turned on my Macbook Air (freshly acquired, and just a week before the release of the new one, ouch) and begun coding again, never fully realizing I was going to complete the task, for the first time ever.[paragraph break]I've first played and then tried to write IF in the mid-Eighties. I was nearly a teen, the world was splendid and everything quite worked for the best. The amount of time I could devote to my hobbies was impressive. [italic type]The Hobbit[roman type] was always running and I was struggling a lot trying to understand english and what to do with that singing bastard Thorin the dwarf. More that a quarter of century has passed, and I'm still here, messing with trolls and an english parser. Meanwhile, almost ten -- or twenty, who can tell? -- adventure games have danced on my screen waiting to be designed and coded. I never got much beyond the few introductory rooms.";
	say "The occasion came when I stumbled upon the [italic type]IFComp[roman type]. Edition 2011 was about to open and I had a game halfway to being finished that could maybe, and just maybe, fit in. All I had to do was deciding how the world of Monarch was going to be saved and how I could code that damn soap-over-metal puzzle.[paragraph break]Summer passed by in a whoosh, and by the end of September the game was ready.[paragraph break]Or so I thought.[paragraph break]---[paragraph break]Coding a kind of game which is by far the most similar thing to a novel that could exist in a language that is not one's own is a rather terrific experience. Although I'm quite fluent in English and have classes listening to me from all around the globe -- I'm a graphic designer and expert on editorial design, which I teach in what you'd call a Master School for Gifted Youngsters -- I soon discovered that the river which spans between the speech and the writing is a very wide and turbulent one. Fortunately, my first proofreaders did an awesome job in putting straight my bulky texts (yeah: if you'd seen [italic type]Andromeda[roman type] before their intervention, you'd think this one was, like, Hemingway).";
	say "So, I entered the Comp. For one and a half months, I've been in awe. I don't think I was exactly [italic type]aware[roman type] about what I've stepped into. I'm willing to believe that, if I'd known, I'd rather go around naked downtown than publish a game in so a renowned competition.[paragraph break]And that was nice, [']cause I had the opportunity, otherwise precluded, to step into a new, fascinating world. I had an audience. I had critics. I had a [italic type]chance[roman type].[paragraph break]I wanted to be a writer all my life. Since when ten years old, I filled notebooks with short tales and novels-wannabe. I actually did write a novel, one that is trying to find a place in the horrible italian fiction maelstrom, but I never had someone other than my wife or friends read anything that's mine. Now it seems, looking at the number in the online transcript of the first release of this game, more than 600 people have tried my game. On IFDB (at the time this is being written), [italic type]Andromeda[roman type] averages on 3 stars, with the German scene gifting me with 4.";
	say "I don't really know how this second release will fare, out there. What I know is that one of my strongest desires, the one I keep asking the sky to make real whenever I see a falling star, has become solid truth. And that's more than what one would sell his soul to hell for, believe me.[paragraph break]Now, only time will tell if I will be a writer or have to stick with graphics. But if I die tomorrow, at least I won't go away saying 'nobody has ever read my work'. Thank you all who participated. This was a blast.[paragraph break]--Marco Innocenti, Firenze (Italy), January 8, 2012.".]
	
This is the achievements rule:
	say "[Achievements_list]". 
	
[This is the ancestors rule:
	say "This game was not intended as a maniacally perfect scientific resource for space travel. That said, the author put so much effort in trying to make everything realistic. Apart from the obvious things that couldn't be (i.e. a train falling for a kilometer doesn't only crumple: it disintegrates) there is one which stood hidden until much too late.[paragraph break]The [']beacon['] has been pulled through space by the Hyerotropes. They made it fly at 6k times light-speed. If that's so... what about the humans? How could the First Colonists reach Andromeda WITHOUT such power and knowledge?[paragraph break]Well, they couldn't.[paragraph break]Given there is no Earth date in the game, one could argue that the voyage took a really huge amount of time and that the Colony indeed reached through space around -- what do you think? 10.000 a.D.? 100.000? Well, nope: Andromeda is 2.5 MILLIONS lightyears from Earth. At the speeds we can reach nowadays, the trip would have lasted around 90 BILLIONS years.[paragraph break]The one solution can be the use of a wormhole, a rip in the fabrics of reality that creates a passage to distant places... but we all know that would have been a deus ex machina. That's why it is not mentioned ingame.".]


Part 7 - The Music

figure of titlepage is the file "and602.jpg".

sound of titlemusic is the file "black_giant.ogg".
[sound of titlemusic is the file "uhmm.ogg".]

faderflag is a number variable. [global]



[Instead of jumping:
	present the title page.]



['present the title page ' clears the screen, shows title art and plays music if possible, asks for a keypress, then fades music (if it's still playing) before clearing screen and continuing game.]

To present the title page:
	clear the screen;
	if glulx graphics is supported:
		display the figure of titlepage;
	show the current quotation;
	if glulx sound is supported:
		set the foreground volume to 5;
		play sound of titlemusic in foreground;
		if glulx timekeeping is supported:
			now faderflag is 1;
			start a 217000 millisecond timer;
	deepen the status line to 0 rows;
	say "Please press SPACE to continue.";
	wait for the SPACE key;
	if glulx sound is supported:
		if glulx timekeeping is supported and faderflag is 1:
			stop the timer;
			fade out the foreground sound;
			now faderflag is 0;
		stop the foreground sound;
	clear the screen.

To present the end titles:
	clear the screen;
	if glulx sound is supported:
		set the foreground volume to 5;
		play sound of titlemusic in foreground;
		if glulx timekeeping is supported:
			now faderflag is 1;
			start a 217000 millisecond timer;
	clear the screen.

A glulx timed activity rule (this is the NEW redirect from timer rule): [overwrites what's in extension]
	now the waiting flag is false;
	stop the timer;
	now faderflag is 0.

The NEW redirect from timer rule is listed instead of the redirect from timer rule in the glulx timed activity rules.



To fade out the foreground sound:
	say run paragraph on; [necessary to prevent linebumping in Gargoyle interpreter]
	let CV be 66535;
	repeat with N running from 1 to 500:
		if CV is less than 1500, break;
		if CV is greater than 1500, now CV is CV minus 1000;
		if CV is greater than 5121, now CV is CV minus 2000;
		if CV is greater than 10241, now CV is CV minus 5000;
		if CV is greater than 20481, now CV is CV minus 7000;
		if CV is greater than 40961, now CV is CV minus 15000;
		set the raw foreground volume to CV;
		wait 110 milliseconds before continuing, strictly. [author of damusix recommends a delay time of around 100 ms for good fades - he says definitely never below 100ms]
