Derek:Find the large platform thing. Put carved dowel on the stand.
As you put the totem on the ALCHEMITER, you asre blinded by a sudden flash of light.
After rubbing your eyes, you notice that, even though the platform was empty before, it is now occupied by a green, moving statue.
You can't help but think that it looks like this: C.
You are now in STRIFE with the green IRON COLOSSUS.
You also lack tiny furry mammals to throw at it.
It's hopeless.
You can't win.
Run.

Stephen:>Pick up the robot and chuck it into the seizure kernel or whatever. There's no way that's Richard's sis, right? Right. There is no possible way this could go wrong.
Unbeknownst to you, or anybody else, that robot is indeed not his SIS.
It is, in fact, a doppelgänger built by her, left behind to watch over Richard while SIS has other business to attend to.
But nobody knows that either, so you just dunp the bot into the KERNEL.
Richard:>Leave. Go back to my room.
You decide that some RidiculouslyHumanRobot is not worthy of your attention.
You have, after all, a game to play!
Since you can't go through the hole you came in, you have to take the long path up the stairs.
As you arrive in your room, you notice that a) the robot somehow got there first, and b) also now is an orange, glowing circle.

Matt:>Search Recreation Room for anything interesting.
You dismiss the platform as not interesting (or "not interested?").
Instead you start reading one of the random books that are stored in the shelves.
It's a book about gravity and dynamics.
You remember buying that one when you first tried to build a rocket.
Fun times.
>After finding something interesting, inventory something seemingly useless.
Yup, more books never fail to be dead weight.
You CAPTCHALOGUE the PHYSICS BOOK ((11+19+2+8+18+24+8+25+12+12+16) mod 10 = 5)
Unfortunately that card is already occupied by your other BOOK, which then gets flinged out of your SYLLADEX.
[4] It knocks down some stuff, but fortunately nothing breaks.
Mick:>Mick. Deliver a final kick, then go find a laptop or something.
[5] Bam! Suddenly the computer works again.
You're the best, you think!
Enrique:>Put the Totem on the Alchemeter!
You put the totem on the ALCHEMITER.
ZAP!
A red CHEST appears out of fucking nowhere.
Upon examination, you notice that it doesn't have a lock.
However, it is locked by some sort of sliding puzzle.
