Scryglass of X'tpylix and aura monitor the desktop, just to be sure?
Something is definitely not right with your desktop right now. Better investigate a little more closely.
Charles: ScryWell... it doesn't seem aggressive, at least? Probably just trying to steal your
soul credit card info.
Have a quick look at the expanded desktop, just in case something has been growing up there...
Good idea!
Seems pretty calm at the moment, but you should probably keep an eye on... whatever that void is... in the future.
Ugh, Internet Explorer has been nothing but trouble, can you move it and its shrotcuts to a quarantine subdirectory?
That thing probably counts as undead, but it could be a friendly virus? The noble bird shall guide us to the truth...
You can never be too careful around obsolete browsers with security vulnerabilities and affinity for unholy malware. As for the virus itself... it seems annoying at worst right now, but that could change.
Fire is probably a counter to green, so do stab the green cursor with the flaming pitchfork if you get the chance.
Can this pitchfork cursor that somehow survived shift-delete be dragged into Windows/Cursors? Does it show a filename? Better see if there are hints there before using it.
The cursor doesn't seem to have a filename, but you did see a word when you hovered over it with the Scryglass. Looks like sanskrit or something.
Search "bay12 forums" on the heironet.
NO. You're not going anywhere near whatever the Hieronet's equivalent of Dwarf Fortress is.
Also, check the wiring at the back of the computer. Look for weird dongles or cables.
No dongles, but there were a few
weird ports on the back that you noticed before. Not really anything you can do about it at the moment, since you don't have the cables required to interact with them.
Maybe tux-daemon should go in the treasure-chest? Sealing Evil away never goes wrong! You could put the key at the end of a series of tasks of steadily-progressing difficulty!
Try to check of Linniks is safe now. Perhaps there was only the one Tux?
You get the feeling that this adventure is going to end with you sealing away an ancient evil and leaving a strongly-worded warning on the box, but for now you should probably keep Tux around. The ElderScript file is inert now, but hopefully the Beast of Seeking will be back with the required module soon!
Also, examine the joist angles/linear dimensions of the walls, floor and ceiling of the room.... For reasons.
A tape measure would help.
Yeah, we torrented the necronomicon on the laptop. we got the .torrent from the heironet, but downloaded the actual data from the internet.
Check what software we have available that can compress and/or split files. Particularly WinRar
No, nothing like that. BUT the Hieronet seems to establish a connection outside of the normal time stream. Given this fact, a compression algorithm that utilized the Hieronet's asynchronous timeline access could have perfect foreknowledge of the contents of a file, via a stable time loop. Thus, you could theoretically achieve zero-
entropy lossless "compression", and transfer a file instantaneously!
Anyway...
. . . I'm still stuck on the idea of extracting a healing elixir and putting it on the clipboard. Also, good to know that "expel to" is this thing's version of "unzip," that is, do not do this. Instead, squint eyes to narrow slits to protect from visions of horror and select "Auctoritas."
Woah, a lot going on here. First, we have a list of users with Admin privileges. Right now it seems to be split between... three users? You can assume the third item in the list is that Toad that stole two-thirds of your Administrator's Stone, but... who's the first administrator in the list?
Second, you have a console and a starmap display. A user that ISN'T YOU has been typing commands in the console for some time now. You don't seem to have the ability to type in the console yourself.
Unneeded documents are now being deleted.

Hail Qalzsx'wa,
Just shootin' ya an electronic mail, wondering how the whole Y2K project's coming along on your end. It's been a little difficult getting these messages across without the Hieronet router set up, so I was wondering if you heard back from the support team at Hells-Deathwell. See, we have to sacrifice a goat in the conference room every time we send one of these emails without a persistent Outer Realm connection, and the whole logistical side of shipping live animals to the office is getting a little tough to manage. So if you could get in touch with them that would be greeaat.
Thanks a bunch,
Michael

Hey Qalz,
This is Sam from IT, over here at Baldr. We have been, uh...
installing some of the software you provided us with, and we
would like to request a couple of user's manuals, if you have
any idea what those are. This software is a little more "high
stakes" than what we're used to, if you know what I mean. While
you're at it, could we have some explanation of the "FORBIDDEN
KEYPAD" on the underside of these keyboards you sent? I don't
know what any of these symbols mean, and it looks dangerous.
That's all,
Sam
Hey there, just a couple of notes before you dig in to the Necronomicon Ex-Mortis.
First, certain parts of the .pdf file seem to shift around at random. This is normal,
and there isn't anything I can do about it. Sorry.
Second, most of the pages in this book WILL cause you to go insane if you look at
them long enough. I do NOT recommend looking at pages unless you know they
are safe. I don't know of many pages that are safe to look at, but you can start with
pages 33, 98, and 422.
Finally, some of the pages in here seem to refer to Hieronet URLs. If you see the
Hieronet icon in the corner, that's what it is. Have fun!
