They said you would sleep for half a millennium - not an unreasonable length of time, considering you'd be in limited cryogenic suspension. Your body would rest at the planet's nerve center, an underground complex 20 miles beneath the surface. Your brain, they told you, would be wired to a network of computers; your mind would continue to operate at a minimal level, overseeing maintenance of surface-side equilibrium. And you would not awake, so they promised, until your 500 years had elapsed - barring, of course, the most dire emergency. Then, and only then, you would be awakened to save your planet by strategically manipulating six robots, each of whom perceives the world differently. But such a catastrophe, you have been assured, could not possibly occur. Good morning.

You kill yourself
I'll open the sweet home and see what I can do.
Okey Dokey. Man, you look like death warmed over!
As the door swings open you are blinded by intense light and incredible pain. Just before everything overloads and you fade from existence, you can make out a shape outside, holding onto the door of the cylinder, and then everything goes dark.

A red IC sits in the red socket, and a yellow IC sits in the yellow socket. A small glass fuse it sits in the panel. On the front panel is a series of eight circles. The orange button is flashing.

Waldo has a lot of extensions for manipulating objects and is about one meter in height. He is primarily a building and repair robot. He's also rather cute and appeals to my visual circuits.

Sensory mechanisms detect the disquieting flow of electricity within this tube. The flow is concentrated within the small cables which line a groove in the floor. There is a small hole in the wall of the tube awaiting a plug, while slightly higher up rests a sign.
In the room with me is Whiz.
Whiz is carrying a transmitter.

Sensors indicate I'm holding...
A fourteen-inch cable
A seized device
A ruined device
You replace twelve-inch with fourteen-inch
I can't. My extensions are full.
You go north
Sensory mechanisms detect the disquieting flow of electricity within this tube. The flow is concentrated within the small cables which line the floor. There is a small hole in the wall of the tube awaiting a plug. Above this hole is a sign.
In the room with me is Waldo.
Waldo is carrying a nine-inch cable, a metal tool, a scanning device, a micro extension, and a sixteen-inch cable.
You replace four-inch with twelve-inch
Okay. It's done.

FC INTERRUPT: Approaching balance between all three units. Attempting internal stabilization. Reset codes may be entered now for planetside stabilization.
You wait for a while
FC: Time passes...

SENSA: Sensory mechanisms match goal directive. I am at the Main Supply Room.
You ask Iris,  to look around
FC: Cryolink established to Iris.
IRIS: Internal map reference -- Main Supply Room
I'm in the northernmost portion of a large, messy area where debris is scattered about as if something had shaken it loose from the walls. Sitting near the wall is a machine which has a little orange button on its face. Beside the button are two small sockets, one red and one yellow. The red socket is empty, but a yellow IC sits in the yellow socket. On the front panel is a series of eight circles.
In the room with me is Sensa.
Sensa is carrying a red four-inch cable, and a burned chip.
There is a little wire basket here.
The little wire basket contains...
A plaid IC
A green IC
You put red IC in the red socket
FC: Cryolink established to Sensa.
SENSA: I don't have the polarized object.
Inventory
Sensors indicate I'm holding...
A four-inch cable
A ruined device
You look around
Sensory mechanisms detect a tremendous channeling and flow of electrical and data energy into an object surrounding me. Sensors detect a similar channeling to an object to the south.

Press ble
Nothing is happening. I don't think it's working anymore.
You point the camera at the sign
FC: Cryolink established to Whiz.
WHIZ: The TV1 has been pointed at the ACS.

IRIS INTERRUPT: The little sign presents me with the access code the machine in the Main Supply Room needs to reset the Filtering Computers. It says CONBLE.
You push con
FC: Cryolink established to Iris.
FC: First access code accepted. Enter second access code now.

FC INTERRUPT:

All systems returning to normal.
Weather systems slowly approaching balance.
Hydroponic systems working at full capacity.
Surface life in recovery mode.

Extrapolation based on current weather systems and food supplies:
Total recovery in 45 cycles.
Current surface casualties: 5,632,000
Projected casualties during recovery: 865,000
Original population: 30,172,000
Total possible survivors: 23,675,000

This score gives you the possibility of being considered for being burned in effigy. On a scale of 1 (the best) to 7 (the worst), your ranking was 7.

You successfully completed your task, bringing the Filtering Computers back into balance, in 220 cycles.
Open cylinder
FC: Cryolink established to Sensa.
SENSA: Sensory inputs cannot detect any cylinder here.
Look around
All around me charges flow, shaped by the very nature of this room. The electrons are being channeled into an electrical column, central to this environment.
In the room with me is Poet.
You open column
Sensory mechanisms indicate the door has been opened.
WARNING! Biochemical electrical activity dropping!
As the door swings open you are blinded by intense light and incredible pain. Just before everything overloads and you fade from existence, you can make out a shape outside, holding onto the door of the cylinder, and then everything goes dark.
