  > Descend
  As you climb down the stairs, the entire staircase shoots down, landing in the huge machine room you came from.
  
  Machine Room: West (as Ross)
  Complicated machinery is everywhere, clunking and scraping and turning and chugging away at the task of destroying the planet. At the north end of the room is a single stake, standing upright, and just beyond it is a gap in the floor, so that you can see through to the void of space below. A set of stairs leads up, and the machine room itself extends eastward.
  
  > Up
  You climb the stairs, and the stairs themselves fly upwards, so that with each footfall you're much higher up. Eventually the staircase halts, and you step off onto a platform.
  
  Beneath the Pipe (as Ross)
  You're standing on a small platform, watching severed parts of Earth shoot past through the pipe just above you that leads to the beast. By this point in their processing, things are barely recognisable as belonging to Nature - there are some earthy colours and familiar shapes, but it's mostly just a kind of tangled mush. Bits of it escape the flow and trickle onto the floor, creating a pungent deathly odour. A tiny ladder will take you right into the flow.
  
  A burnt body shoots through the flow of material in the tube above you.
  
  > About yourself
  Can you honestly say you're above all this? Ross, you're an idiot.
  
  > remember
  Remember? Was there a past?
  
  > be helen
  Carriage (as Helen)
  It's a grey, metal carriage, only slightly longer than it is wide. There's no window, so the only light is from a slim fluorescent lamp in the ceiling that flickers every so often, periodically plunging you into darkness.The floor is littered with dead wasps, but they're not you're only company: a man, probably in his early twenties, is in the same state, leaning against the opposite wall.
  
  > Sleep
  You're feeling surprisingly tired, so even though you'd rather not be off your guard in a situation like this, you can't be bothered to worry about it. You fall down onto your side, shut your eyes, and try to let the train's steady movement send you off.
  You're walking up the mountain along with all the other dead people, heading for judgement at the summit. Grimy fear and sweat-soaked resignation are trooping up with you. The dust sweeps around your head and blinds you every now and then until you blink. Suddenly, you're at the top. There are countless books open on the table. A bony hand is holding your book in front of your eyes.
  
  "NO!" the judge shrieks, and you're thrown forwards, and the book is flying with you. As you soar through the air, you can see its pages fluttering down over the rocky landscape. You manage to snatch one from the air just before you crash into the mountainside and roll over and over, and stop yourself before you shoot over into the pit of fire below.
  
  Mountainside (as Helen)
  You're looking out upon the enormous pit of fire surrounding the mountain. Rocks of various sizes litter the ground, and an acrid dust suffuses your senses. It looks like you could probably scramble down to the south without much injury. Up above, the judgement continues.
  
  You hear a noise from up the mountain, and see a colourful glass sphere tumbling down towards you. The sphere instantly smashes into a million shards, which disappear in the dust.
  
  > About yourself
  You look at yourself and immediately look away. You don't want to be reminded of what an ugly thing you are. You're wearing shitty clothes as usual and are taking up too much of the universe's precious space with your good-for-nothing body.
  
  You don't know why, but something's telling you that you want your book back. You want to see your life, work out where you went wrong.
  
  > check your inventory
  You are carrying:
  a page
  
  > look at the page
  A page from your book, a piece of you. But the words are blurred and you can't read them properly. Maybe if you were awake you'd be able to concentrate on it?
  
  > wake
  Suddenly you're awake, and you struggle back into a sitting position, but it feels like you've just come from one nightmare to another. Images and memories from your dreams are parading through your mind, as if you didn't have enough torment. [ Use the REMEMBER command,
  with or without a memory. ]

  > examine the rock
  The whole landscape is strewn with dusty rocks.
  
  > get the rock
  You touch one, and find that it's too hot to handle.
  
  > Go south
  Foot of the Mountain: South (as Helen)
  Down here, the pit of fire attacks all your senses at once, your eyes with its intense colour, your ears with the sound of its bubbling and popping, your skin with its searing heat. Just a short distance away over the fire is a small island with a small church on it, and indeed no room for anything else. You can reach it by a wooden bridge to the southeast, which is held up by two anchoring poles lodged into the ground. There are also paths around the base of the mountain to the west and east, and a way back up to the north.
  
  > examine pole
  The bridge is connected to two anchors on this side and two on the other side. The stakes are lodged into recesses in the ground.
  
  > get the pole
  You pull out one of the stakes, and the bridge to the southeast burns up, disappearing in an instant.
