  It's in pieces all over the lab.
  
  > Go west
  You're at the east end of a long hallway. To the east is an open
  door. Next to the door is a slot; a small red light is above the slot. The hall continues back to the west.
  
  The door slides shut.
  
  > Go west
  You're in a hallway that leads east and west. All along the south
  wall are closely-spaced doors; all of the doors are closed, except for one. The hall continues to the east.
  
  > Go east
  There's a large jackrabbit hopping around, foraging for food.
  
  The rabbit hops around the field.
  
  > enter the shield
  You'll have to drop it first.You'll have to drop the heat shield first!
  
  > enter the river
  The searing heat of the lava shoots through your body, making you try desperately to escape the river. As you flail around, though, you start to realize that the lava isn't harming you, despite the intense pain. As you start to get used to the blistering heat, you notice that you're being swept rapidly downstream...
  
  The lava flow starts to carry you downstream.
  
  > put the shield in the river
  You'll have to get off of the heat shield first.
  
  > go outside
  You see a heat shield here.
  
  > put the shield in the river
  You put the heat shield in the lava -- it floats on the flowing lava, and seems easily able to withstand the heat. You hold onto it so it doesn't float away.
  
  > enter the shield
  Okay, you're now in the heat shield.
  
  The lava flow starts to carry you downstream.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes...
  
  The swift river of lava sweeps you downstream to the east.
  
  Bend in River, in the heat shield
  The river of lava turns from east to south here.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes...
  
  You're carried rapidly to the south by the flowing lava.
  
  River of Lava, in the heat shield
  The river of lava is flowing through the cave swiftly to the south.
  To the west is a shore that appears to open into a cave. The cave has many stalagmites sticking up from its floor; one particularly large stalagmite right on the shore -- only about ten feet away from you -- is at least three feet tall.
  There's a faint light downstream, and you hear a loud rushing noise from the south.
  
  > throw the rope at stalagmite
  You throw the rope at the stalagmite, but your aim isn't good enough; the rope falls short. You obviously could use some practice.
  
  The lava sweeps you along to the south.
  
  Top of Lavafall, in the heat shield
  The cave abruptly opens into the night sky, and you realize that
  you're at the top of a cliff. The lava is pouring over the edge of the cliff and falling hundreds of feet down the side of the mountain below.
  
  > jump
  Wheeee!
  
  Before you can do anything, the river carries you over the edge of the lavafall. You fall and fall, tumbling and flailing your arms and legs, catching a glimpse of the bottom of the lavafall lost in the rocks far below. Suddenly, you hit something, and your fall stops abruptly.
  
  You're on a ledge just west of, and halfway up, a huge lavafall.
  The lava pours down with a deafening rumbling sound. The narrow ledge seems to continue to the northwest.
  You see a heat shield here.
  
  > go to the north-west
  You walk carefully along the ledge, but you suddenly hit a loose spot. You try to maintain your footing, but the rock crumbles under you, and you go sliding down the mountainside. You finally stop falling, and you find yourself on a rocky hillside you've seen before.
  
  You're on a gently sloping, rocky hillside at the base of a tall mountain. The granite surface of the hillside hosts no vegetation. Looming high above to the east is the steep cone of a volcano; clouds of dark smoke rise steadily above the cone. You can climb into the mountains to the east, and you can also go north, back to the road.
  
  > go east
  You're fairly high up on the side of the mountain -- you'd guess
  that you're around two thousand feet up. (Have you noticed that they use the English system of measurements in Hell? What else would you expect?)  You can go down the mountain to the west, and the volcano's cone looms above to the east. A small opening appears to lead into a cave to the south. You can also travel along a path to the north, and a narrow passage to the southeast.
  You have an excellent view of Hell from here. The tall buildings downtown all seem tiny from this distance and altitude, except for the Tower -- even from here, you can't see the top. The Tower looks like a thin, gleaming string stretching from the ground up into the dark sky. As your eyes follow the Tower up into the sky, you realize that you're high enough above the surface now that you can see stars above -- so many stars, all so bright, that it's quite well lit here.
  
  > examine Tower
  From here, the tower looks like a silver thread against the black night sky. Even from this distance, you can't see how high the tower is -- it goes up into the sky as far as you can see.
  
  > Go south
  You're in a large, cylindrical cave with smooth, black walls.
  Running through the south end of the cave is a wide, swiftly-flowing river of lava, which flows downhill to the east. The lava pours in through an orifice in the western wall. An exit leads back outside to the north.
  
  > put the shield in the River
  You put the heat shield in the lava -- it floats on the flowing lava, and seems easily able to withstand the heat. You hold onto it so it doesn't float away.
  
  > enter the shield
  Okay, you're now in the heat shield.

  > wait awhile
  Time passes...
  
  Before you can do anything, the river carries you over the edge of the lavafall. You fall and fall, tumbling and flailing your arms and legs, catching a glimpse of the bottom of the lavafall lost in the rocks far below. Suddenly, you hit something, and your fall stops abruptly.
