  You show your pass to the guard and go through.
  Platform
  The tracks, leading off into the dark tunnel, lie beyond the northern edge of the platform. Trains arrive quite frequently, once every three minutes on average, a fact not unnoticed by the section of the Hydropolis Underground Omnibus Company responsible for advertising. You can go up to ground level via the access funnel to Pickerel.
  You feel a gusting current from the tunnel as a train clatters into the station. The doors open and fish push and shove each other as they get on and off.
  
  > Go south
  The tracks, leading off into the dark tunnel, lie beyond the northern edge of the platform. Trains arrive quite frequently, once every three minutes on average, a fact not unnoticed by the section of the Hydropolis Underground Omnibus Company responsible for advertising. You can go up to ground level via the access funnel to Opah University.
  An underground train is here but looks likely to leave at any moment. Abruptly, everything starts heading towards a certain point, accompanied by a grotesque sucking noise. Before you have time to react you are surrounded by a blinding white light which rapidly expands to engulf the whole of Hydropolis. Then silence. You are nothing but a handful of minute particles floating in free space. "You blew that, didn't you?" Sir Playfair Panchax is clearly not amused. "We'll try and get you back to your bowl, but I've got some bad news. The Fins have located you. They're out for revenge. Keep your head old chap, this could be nasty. Panchax out." You are dumped back in the fishbowl. Goldfish Bowl
  A tingle runs up and down your scales here. It's definitely not your vacation bowl. True, it does have gravel, ant eggs and pondweed, but then so has every goldfish bowl. The difference is you can see out of this bowl and it doesn't have a tacky plastic castle. It looks like you're in a computer room of some kind, with terminals lining the walls.
  "You complete Halibut!" shouts Sir Playfair Panchax. He doesn't sound happy at all. "We warned you not to damage Dr. Roach's body. He was the only one who could save Hydropolis. The Fins have won and are out to get you. There is nothing we at Mission HQ can do." The good news is you've been sent back to the bowl. The bad news is that the dimensional warps have disappeared. It looks like you're in big trouble.
  
  > get the bridge
  You have now got the photon bridge.
  This is fun isn't it? You've drifted even higher now. You are finding breathing a little difficult, however, but Hydropolis is stunning from this height.

  The poster has a psychedelic picture of purple and green goldfish swimming around the Seven Deadly Fins logo. The fish form the words, "No rules. No war. No profit." Underneath is scrawled, "The Fins are in town. Place: just listen. Price: what can you afford? Anarchy: only if my mum says it's ok."
