I stand in the dark, it surrounds me completely.
I can see nothing but a black void stretching in every direction.
The light has been stolen, sucked away.
Without it I am lost.
I need to get the light back!

I cannot see in the darkness, but I know where I stand. The rough stone presses against my feet. It is cold. Ever since my light was stolen, a chill has settled in the air.

you need a direction, let's try left.

Ok Left. I feel my way through the dark, the floor feels wierd over here...and what's this...

It seems to be a wall, there is some sort of opening in it.

(Note, This time I moved Marianne to HER left. As I think this might be confusing in the future I think Ill move her based on the viewpoint of the player from now on)

what's on the floor? follow it, but not trough the opening.

Hmm, and something above this angular entrance seems to be radiating heat, I don't think I want to get too close.

I could probably squeeze through the opening if I wanted to. It's pretty tight though, and there is more of this strange dry powdery coating travelling down the passage.
>>510430
I follow the powdery substance further along the floor, it seems to travel parallel to a wall. At the end of a trail is another wall.

It seems A message has been left for me?

The next room feels...odd, cavernous might be a good way of describing it.

A hollow ticking noise seems to be coming from the right side of the room.

There is more of that strange powdery substance leading further into the room.

Follow the ticking to its source.

The ticking seems to be echoing from a metal grate low down on the wall.

there seems to be some sort of console embedded in the wall here as well. There is some sort of thin slot along one side. Since all light has been stolen I cannot see the screen. Maybe I have something in my pockets that can help?

As i get closer I notice the ticking isn't uniform. Sometimes it repeats rapidly, and sometimes it just stops. Occasionaly an odd click or clank echoes up from the vent.

follow the right wall.

I travel along the right wall until I reach the end.

I stub my toe on some sort of pedastal. Its surface is some sort of stone like the wall. The top contains a circle of a cold metalic material. There seems to be another one diectly above it but I can't quite reach...

There is a damaged portion of the pillar. It crumbles a bit under my touch and it smells like smoke.

Backtrack along your path. There seems to be something written on the floor on the approach to the monitor you missed.

I backtrack to the strnage powdery substance on the floor.

If it spells anything It must be in another language because it just feels like splatter marks to me.

I follow the trail until it mysteriously stops beneath the wall. I feel further up along the wall but cannot find any further sign of the substance. I do however find some interesting engravings upon the wall.

I examine the engravings further. they apear to be some sort of spiralling pattern and a strange twisting symbol.

Whats that above your head and to the left?

I drag the table (Curse its name) over to the north wall. It feels pretty stable, I stand on top of it and feel at the engraving above me.

Most of it is covered by some sort of paint, it is very hard to make anything out. Its some sort of...eye?...symbol in the center a thick oval of stone.

I can sense the curve of the cieling just out of my reach.

You return to the other room through through the tight crevice. The table is a bit unwieldly but you get it through and set it at your feet.

God you hope everything in here is as you left it...

I carefully feel around the dark room.

The east wall is covered in little cracks, and the crevice. The hot round thing above the crevice is spherical. I believe it must have been a lightbulb before all the light was taken away.

The north wall is covered in engravings. I can make niether head nor tales of them, but one part looks like a little sun? It gives me hope.
MIRANDA is written on the bottom left of the wall. I think I vaguely remember someone named Miranda...She was a hyperactive little kid, always laughing and jumping around. God she annoyed me.
There is a button high up on the wall. I haven't pressed it yet, I have no idea what it might do.

along the west wall I found a lanyard with a little card attatched. The engraving on the wall next to it says For U and is surrounded by hearts...
There is also an odd splatter of something I can't quite identify, it's not paint...but it smells terrible.

The south wall is fairly unremarkable.

While I was looking around there were some strange sounds in the other room. Im not sure what they were, they were pretty faint. I am fairly sure I heard metal hitting stone at one point though...

I leaned the table against the corner when I was done with it so it wouldn't get in the way.

Take the lanyard and card and wear it. Can you read what's written on it?

the button is the only thing to interact with so do so.

Maybe, but there are some things to consider.

All the light was stolen away. No light means no sight. Mostly I've been picturing the world through feeling about.

I could see the monster. Even though most of the time it was just a fuzzy blob I could SEE IT. Unless the place Im in makes very odd security devices...

Ugh, I just hope there aren't any more of them.

I just put the ID card into the computer. It seemed to work fine, don't know why it would activate a security device, not sure what it would activate at all. It really sounded like a starting screen, I haven't heard of the ID cards being used to store programs or functions, but I never did pay attention when my dad was working.

The new thing...Im not sure about it. I remember it got really loud when the creature was closing in that first time. I ignored it then because I was about to get eaten...but...Im not sure if it's connected to the computer. I'd have to examine it to find out.

Wait. There's no light. But the miniature Ur-quan thing you killed was luminescent? Are the remains still glowing? If so, you could use the corpse as a light source! At least to read the computer or something.

As a general rule, If it's glowing it's something felt beyond just touch.

Is that? Dad?

Well....that was interesting. That sounded alot like Dad, but it didn't seem to come from the computer...or anywhere really. It was like I was hearing his voice in my head.

What did he say again...something about sealing the chambers?

A thorough examination of the console looks like this.

push the botton on the bottom right?

Turn both dials to the left

I assume you mean this one. The lower controls are dials.
