  > Look around
  The cell walls are of gray stone and a small barred window leads outside to freedom. A silvery air vent runs right above the window. The light bulb illuminates the cell.
  
  There's an open trapdoor on the floor.
  
  The creature wags its tail slowly from side to side.
  
  On the floor are your adventuring clothes, a photograph, a dinner plate, some iron bars, a makeshift flashlight, an article, and a flux capacitor.
  
  > ask the hr about the citation needed
  "Dunno about that," H.R. says.
  
  > show the article to the hr
  (first taking the article)
  "Thanks, but you should keep it," H.R. says.
  
  > ask the hr about the citation
  H.R. seems to have been distracted and missed your question.
  
  > show the wire to the hr
  (first trying to take electrical wire)
  You pull the wire out from the keyhole.
  
  H.R. digs a paper tissue from its bag and tries to wipe some spit from around its mouth. The tissue sizzles and melts away leaving just a faint trace of smoke.
  
  > show wire to the hr
  (first trying to take electrical wire)
  It won't come out any further.
  
  > Lick wire
  Wondering if the wire has any power, you touch it with your tongue.
  
  *kZAP*
  
  "Ih HOEH hae oheh!" you discover. "The lamp's on, but nobody's in the lighthouse, is there?" H.R. wonders.
  
  > touch the hr with the wire
  *kZAP*
  
  H.R. spasms and blinks white light for a while. Trails of smoke rise from its body.
  
  "Careful with that!
  " it says.
  
  > Scream
  The rectangle on the cell door slides open and a pair of beady eyes appear behind it. "WHAT is all this RACKET?" a loud voice behind the door says. After a short pause the voice goes: "Why you... ARE YOU STILL NAKED?"
  
  > touch the guard with the wire
  "Stop WAVING THAT THING in front of me!" the guard screams.
  
  > touch the guard with the wire
  "Stop WAVING THAT THING in front of me!" the guard screams.
  
  The guard grunts and closes the eyehole.
  
  > Lick wire
  Wondering if the wire still has any power, you touch it with your tongue.
  
  *kZAP*
  
  "Ih HOEH hae oheh!" you discover. "The elevator doesn't go all the way up, does it?" H.R. wonders.
  
  > show the capacitor to the hr
  (first taking the flux capacitor)
  You decide to hold on to it for a bit longer. It might still come useful.
  
  The numbness on your tongue subsides and some sense returns to it. "Too bad that doesn't apply to the rest of your head," H.R. quips.
  
  > Lick wire
  Wondering if the wire still has any power, you touch it with your tongue.
  
  *kZAP*
  
  "Ih HOEH hae oheh!" you discover. "You're not the brightest lamp of the Christmas lights, are you?" H.R. wonders.
  
  > Lick plate
  (the dinner plate)
  You have eaten a lot of strange stuff, but the dinner plate is not something you want to put in your mouth.
  
  > take the foil
  (first dropping the flux capacitor to make room)
  Taken.
  
  > Lick puddle
  That would just be too disgusting.
  
  > put the acid in the glass
  (the drinking glass)
  (first trying to take the puddle of saliva)
  You scoop some of the spit from the floor into the glass.
  
  > pour the acid on plate
  (the acidic spit on the dinner plate)
  (first taking the acidic spit)
  You pour a few drops of the spit on the dinner plate. The spit sizzles away in trails of smoke, leaving brown spots where it landed.
  
  > Lick hr
  "Would you mind if I licked you a bit?"
  
  "Yes. Yes I very much would," H.R. objects.
  
  The numbness on your tongue subsides and some sense returns to it.
  
  > Lick wire
  Wondering if the wire still has any power, you touch it with your tongue.
  
  *kZAP*
  
  "Ih HOEH hae oheh!" you discover. "There's no battery in your remote, is there?" H.R. wonders.
  
  > Lick wire
  Wondering if the wire still has any power, you touch it with your tongue.
  
  *kZAP*
  
  "Ih HOEH hae oheh!" you discover. "The elevator doesn't go all the way up, does it?" H.R. wonders.
  
  > put the wire on the flux capacitor
  (first trying to take electrical wire)
  It won't come out any further.
  
  > Break plate
  (the dinner plate)
  You would possibly hurt yourself more than the dinner plate.
  
  > attach the plate to the flux
  (the dinner plate to the flux capacitor)
  You can't attach them together.
  
  > put the capacitor on the wire
  (first taking the flux capacitor)
  Putting things on electrical wire would probably not get you any closer to escaping.
  
  > attach the capacitor to the wire
  You can't attach them together.
  
  The numbness on your tongue subsides and some sense returns to it.
  
  > throw plate
  (the dinner plate)
  The dinner plate is already here.
  
  > look at the trapdoor
  (the dinner plate in the trapdoor)
  (first taking the dinner plate)
  (first dropping the flux capacitor to make room)
  The dinner plate falls down the trapdoor and lands back in front of you.
  
  > attach the wire to the barsa
  It's a wooden trapdoor set in the floor. Looking closely you can see a small switch on the side of it.
  
  There's no such thing here now.
  
  > attach the wire to the bars
  You can't attach them together.
  
  H.R. burps and covers its mouth with its hand. "Sorry. Had Mexicans for lunch."
  
  > examine the switch
  The small switch on the trapdoor has been pushed to one side.
  
  > pull the switch
  You flip the switch and the trapdoor slides effortlessly to the middle of the room. Where it used to be only solid stone floor remains.
  
  "How curious," you muse. H.R. raises the spot above its eye where people usually have eyebrows.
  
  > pull the switch
  The trapdoor slides to the right side of the room.
  
  > examine the power
  The power dial goes from zero to 1.21 gigawatts. It's currently pointing at the maximum.
  
  > put capacitor in trapdoor
  (first taking the flux capacitor)
  The flux capacitor falls down the trapdoor and lands back in front of you.
  
  > examine the ceiling
  The ceiling is far above the ground. The trapdoor hangs open in the ceiling on the opposite side of itself. Which is a bit strange, but hey.
  
  > look at the ceiling trapdoor
  That command is too complex; you might want to try to just examine the ceiling.
  
  > pull the switch
  The trapdoor slides to the middle of the room.
  
  > pull the switch
  The trapdoor slides to the right side of the room.
