A welcome mat is screwed to the floor at your feet:

The capsule you have docked at is in disarray and artificial gravity is offline.

You take a good look around to assess its contents. You come to the conclusion that the following options are open to you:


πŸ§‘ gain knowledge about the pilot

The pilot sits at her station, unmoving, unblinking, clutching her chair so as not to fly away, awaiting your query.


πŸ“• read gemlog

A notebook is flying through the capsule. You can make out the word "gemlog" on its cover.


πŸ—„οΈ open a drawer

A little commode is welded into the floor. It contains curious documents.


πŸ–ΌοΈ visit the gallery

A room divider stands in the corner. A sign made from an old pizza box says "Gallery". (some letters are facing the wrong direction)


🎧 listen

There is a small toy radio that is modelled after a record player but it's hardly convincing


πŸ’€ dream

"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" quoths a tiny metal worm, so gently that you could barely hear. To find out what he knows you may put him in your ear.


πŸ’­ read the pilot's thoughts

There's a rock flying through the room. It looks like a normal rock except someone drove a nail into it which holds a tag that says "telepathic rock (makes you telepathic)"


πŸ›ΈοΈ enter the out of place police box

The concept of a police box has never been quite clear to you, but the concept of one inside a chaotic space capsule thousands of kilometers from the next British policeman is even harder for you to grasp.


πŸͺŸ look out of the window

The window is small but it contains endless space.


After finishing your assessment you are startled by a noise. You don't have to search long to recognize the source is a black and silver Nokia 7360 flying to your left.

You examine the phone and see that it has recieved an SMS. The message reads:
