  > look at your surroundings
  Now it looks as though there is a completely different room within the bounds of the faraday cage, or actually beyond its bounds as you can see the translucent outlines of its inner walls where there ought to be solid normal walls. It looks far more pleasant than the boiler room.
  
  In the overlaid space you can see a marble end table.
  
  > Go outside
  You feel transiently disoriented as you exit out of the weird overlaid space within the faraday cage.
  
  Boiler Room (Eric W. Brown)
  The western side of this windowless brick room is dominated by a huge boiler connected to a confusing network of pipes that eventually delivers heat to the rest of the manor. Between the unpleasant humming, the smell of fuel oil, and the heat leaking out, the boiler is leaving you feeling a little lightheaded.
  
  As noticeable as it is, the boiler is hardly the only item of interest. Crammed around it are many devices, at least four of which are clearly bigger and heavier than you. Next to the open doorway leading north there is a keypunch. There's a support column in the middle of the room with a system diagram on it, and lashed to the column there is a faraday cage with a window on its door looking inside. Next to it is a an overlay engine, and behind it a a dimensional stabilizer. Beyond a heavy-duty table near the southwest corner there is a rough hole in the floor, and the surface of the table is dominated by the control panel for the whole system. There is a small steel shelf high on the wall way above the table, and a fluorescent work light above that. On the wall opposite the faraday cage there is a sign hanging from a chain.
  
  It looks like the room has hardly been disturbed in decades, and your presence has kicked up a sizable amount of dust. Although there are some cobwebs, you don't see any spiders. Maybe they got fed up with some combination of the loud noises, bad smells, choking dust, and miserable heat and went someplace nicer.
  
  > look at the coffee
  The clouds in your cup form a gentle ripple. Lack of a symbolic image means that you have accomplished everything you must in your current environment and should move on to find new challenges in order to grow as a person.
  
  A faint smell of mildew emanates from it.
  
  > destroy the overlay
  (the overlay engine)
  Violence isn't the answer to this one.
  
  > turn off the stabilizer
  (the dimensional stabilizer)
  You switch the dimensional stabilizer off.

  I write this journal in part for you, brother, for although we have our Differences and disagree on methods, you are likely the only one to fully appreciate my Work and correspondingly the only one to further it should I perish in my efforts.
  
  We both need to face Dangers and make sacrifices to seek the Truth. It is only through this Truth that the name of Cragne may be restored to its rightful glory and our proper place be returned.
  
  As it has become clear that we are at War, the stakes have grown higher. While I can respect your conservatism during peacetime, it has no place now. Your restrictions to using livestock for experimentation are causing unacceptable delays in your progress, and make no mistake, if one of the farmers ever catches you making your parts collections or leaving behind the lifeless remains, they will look upon you no more kindly than they would look upon me for making use of vagrants that none shall miss. Your squeamishness serves no purpose and offers no advantage. It is time to be strong.
  
  But I have made progress, even where you have stalled! The things I have seen! Mind-twisting realities you can only imagine! My System here works for a wide range of alien environments. I have successfully overlaid these other realities with our own in a controlled manner, and have freely entered many to make observations, collect samples, and even interact with natives. I have gazed upon the ancient city of Kadath across the plains of Leng; conversed with the fungi of Yuggoth; and found riches in dark Swamps heretofore unknown to any sentient life.
  
  I have left a System Diagram showing how the system may be properly connected, and a Safety Checklist. I have also included brief descriptions of each component in this journal to get you started should you find me dead (or not find me at all). In addition, this volume contains a record of my travels and philosophy as described above, and it would behoove you to consult it.
  
  (Be aware that anything left in the Faraday cage when a new reality is overlaid will appear in my junkroom [FFFFFFFF]. For reasons I have yet to determine, most objects maintain their molecular structure when so transported, but punch cards lose their holes and return to virgin status. As strange as this is, I must admit it's quite convenient.)
  
  Finally, I have been seeking other like-minded Men of Power to assist us in our Work. There are others who have goals close enough to our own that we may profitably work together to make the most of this War and grant us all that which we deserve.
  
  You can feel the sweat dripping off you.
  
  > consult Edwin about the kadath
  The hex code of 59D8FE74 takes one to the plains of Leng at a point where Kadath may be safely observed.
  
  > consult Edwin about the elder gods
  You don't find any reference to "elder gods" in the Journal of
  Edwin Cragne.
  
  > consult Edwin about Cthulhu
  I have located sunken R'lyeh where Cthulhu lies dreaming. It is not safe to enter there, but it may be observed using a hex code of 880A5D23.
  
  > consult Edwin about the ialdabaoloth
  You don't find any reference to "ialdabaoloth" in the Journal of
  Edwin Cragne.
  
  > consult Edwin about Vaadignephod
  You don't find any reference to "vaadignephod" in the Journal of
  Edwin Cragne.
