  > look around
  This is a small reception area.
  
  Paul and the Venusian stand here.
  
  A huge  metal gate leads outside, to the south.
  
  You can also see Marius here.
  
  "Oh shit! Alex, kill them!"
  "What happened to not killing indiscriminately?"
  "Shut up and kill every fucking last one of them!"
  
  The sharkmen beginning to brandish rifles, while they're running, but don't fire yet.
  
  > shoot the Sharkmen
  (with the Kerkerkruip gun)
  You shoot one of the sharkmen, but that doesn't even change their generic attack text.
  
  "Oh shit! Alex, kill them!"
  "What happened to not killing indiscriminately?"

  > Keep going
  (with the Kerkerkruip gun)
  You shoot one of the sharkmen, but that doesn't even change their generic attack text.
  
  "The leader shouts "Don't shoot while you're running! Didn't you pay attention at gun safety training, you tadpoles?" They're halfway down the corridor.
  
  > shoot yourself
  (with the Kerkerkruip gun)
  That's no way to settle any kind of argument. At least, that's what the law says.
  
  The sharkmen open fire.
  
  > concentrate
  You concentrate, and are now mildly concentrated.

  "Shut up and kill every fucking last one of them!"
  
  The sharkmen beginning to brandish rifles, while they're running, but don't fire yet.
  
  > Continue
  You concentrate, and are now quite concentrated.
  
  "The leader shouts "Don't shoot while you're running! Didn't you pay attention at gun safety training, you tadpoles?" They're halfway down the corridor.
  
  > continue
  You concentrate, and are now maximally concentrated.
  
  The first few sharkmen throw themselves to the ground and take aim at you.
  
  > shoot the Sharkmen
  (with the Kerkerkruip gun)
  Fully focused, you go into bullet time and
  PEW PEW BOOM ARGH PEW PEW BOOM ARGH ARGH PEW OH NO ARGH PEW DUCK PEW PEW PEW PEW
  Isn't text just a great medium for action scenes? Anyway, all the sharkmen are dead.
  The Venusian nods at you approvingly, then she confers with Paul in whispered tones. You try not to look jealous. "Okay", says Paul, "there is tunnel build by the Mercurian resistance (which was cut out of the game because someone ran out of time). It is behind one of those crater walls."
  The Alien Warrior points through the small window at one section of the crater wall, and you have a pretty good idea of which one she means.
  "You need to get the tank to shoot at it, dear."
  "Um, I'm on foot, and the Kerkerkruip gun is empty. Might as well throw it away" (which you do)
  "Maybe if you could find a way to repair the golf cart, we'd have a chance. Our venusian friend here is a good mechanic. Just give any repair parts to her."
  
  > Inventory
  You are carrying:
  an axle
  Can of Spray Cheese
  a winner ticket
  a lottery ticket
  
  > give the axle to Venusian
  She takes the axle with gret reverence, and Paul rubs your back lovingly.
  "Okay, now you need to distract the tank while she installs it."
  "Just one sec.... How do I distract a tank?"
  "One, you are the protagonist. Two, these sharkmen were breed from the Internet generation and white sharks. It shouldn't be to hard to distract them."
  Paul unlocks the gate.
  "Go get'em, Tiger."
  
  > Go south
  Really? You're not sure you feel "save" out there.
  
  > Go south
  (first opening Gate)
  
  You are in the region of the Crater indicated by the title. (Atmospheric description not included)
  
  A huge  metal gate leads inside, to the north.
  
  The space tank is here.
  
  Marius arrives from the north.
  
  > get on the tank
  That's not something you can enter.
  
  The laser turret fires straight at you!

  You try to outrun the tank, but have no luck.
  The laser turret fires straight at you!

  Can of Spray Cheese

  The laser turret fires straight at you!
  
  > look at the tank
  With its thick, bluish metal armor and black ugly chains, the tank looks imepenetrable. A sharkmen in a thick helmet is standing in the manhole and aiming the huge laser turret. At you, if that's of interest.
  
  The laser turret fires straight at you!

  An empty room.
  
  The sharkman's phone has fallen to the floor.
  
  Marius arrives from the south.
  
  > look at the phone
  An iPhone, specifically adapted for plump sharkmen hand. Looks like the Sharkman was playing Fruit Ninja.
  
  > take the phone
  Marius seems to be quite interested in it.
  
  Taken.
  
  > Go north
  Connecting space. West, back to the airduct. A door marked "Lab" leads north, the prison cells are to the south.
  
  Marius arrives from the south.
  
  > give the phone to Marius
  Marius is utterly captivated. He paws the screen adorably and even hits one or two fruits. Aw man! How cute. This would be a youtube hit.
  
  > Go south
  Connecting space. West, back to the airduct. A door marked "Lab" leads north, the prison cells are to the south.
  
  Marius arrives from the north.
  
  > examine Marius
  Aww, just look at it. It has pear-shaped body, with small, scrawnly leg and feet. Its thick, soft fur is mostly brown with a huge white spot on the tummy. It looks at you lovingly.

  Inside you see the body of famed adventurer Ronathan Rask.
  
  Marius arrives from the north.
  
  > Go south
  This is a small reception area.
  
  Paul and the Venusian stand here.
  
  A huge  metal gate leads outside, to the south.
  
  Marius arrives from the north.
  
  > give the phone to Marius
  The sharkmen removes his helmet and stares at the rat. "Guys, guys!" he shouts down into the tank. "Are you seeing this? That's adorable." A hollow voice answers: "I have it on the screen. Man, that's so cute! A rat playing Fruit Ninja. I could watch it all day. Or at least, until something brings my attention back to the task at hand."
  You sprint over to the golf cart, where the Venusian gives you a thumbs up. You high-five her and start the motor. Paul comes running, and he, the warrior woman and the rat pool onto the back seat. You put it into gear and hit the gas. The cart soon reaches a neck-breaking 15 mph.
  
  Upper Western Wall (in the golf cart)
  You are in the region of the Crater indicated by the title. (Atmospheric description not included)
  
  In the golf cart you can see Marius.
  
  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.
  
  The tank pursues you!
  
  > Go west
  You can't go that way.
  
  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.
  
  The turret fires - lousily. It hits the crater wall behind you.
  
  > go east
  Plain (in the golf cart)
  You are in the region of the Crater indicated by the title. (Atmospheric description not included)
  
  A huge  metal gate leads inside, to the north.
  
  In the golf cart you can see Marius.
  
  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.
  
  The tank pursues you!
  
  > Go north
  The cart won't fit. It's not a miniature golf cart, ha ha ha.
  
  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.
  
  The turret fires - lousily. It hits the crater wall behind you.
  
  > go east
  Upper Eastern Wall (in the golf cart)
  This is the place the Venusian indicated earlier! There is a crumbling crack in the wall, too.
  
  In the golf cart you can see Marius.
  
  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.
  
  The tank pursues you!
  
  > examine the crack
  Behind it lies your path to freedom.
  
  The turret fires - lousily. It hits the crumbling wall behind you, which reveals a tunnel.
  "Hooray!" says Paul, and even Marius squeals happily. "Now we only need to get rid of the tank and escape a planet 138 million miles from Earth."
  "And that's only when they furthest apart!" you add, helpfully.
  
  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.
  
  > Go north
  Tunnel (in the golf cart)
  You are in the ancient resistence tunnel. Spiderwebs indicate it hasn't been used in a while, or that the resistance are all arachnophobic. Or not very clean. Maybe spider webs don't indicate that much. The way south leads back to the crater, while there seems to be some sort of bridge to the north.
  
  In the golf cart you can see Marius.
  
  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.
  
  > go north
  The Venusian graps Paul's arm and whispers to him urgently, while you take point and step onto the bridge. It's small, and amateurishly carved out of the stone. To either side, the cave drops down into lightless depths. Phosphopho..phospher....phospos...glowing stones in the walls provide a dim light.
  "Seems safe eno..."
  Then something steps out of the shadows at the other end of the bridge, something huge and horrible. The kind of creature that would have Lovecraft scramble for his dictionary. Slavering fangs, razor-sharp claws and horrible gurgling noises ... You turn around to warn the others, but then the grue is already upon you, and swipes you off the bridge with her razor-sharp claws. With a bloodied and mangled face, you hurtle screaming into the dark.
  
  ***You have died.***
  
  To either side, the cave drops down into lightless depths. Phosphopho..phospher....phospos...glowing stones in the walls provide a dim light.
  
  A slobbering monstrosity ... razor sharp fangs ... small, black eyes ... the kind of ancient evil that demands ellipsis...
  
  Oh no! The love of your life has fallen beyond time and memory :-(
  
  > go to the south
  Middle Eastern Wall (in the golf cart)
  You are in the region of the Crater indicated by the title. (Atmospheric description not included)
  
  In the golf cart you can see Marius.

  You are in the region of the Crater indicated by the title. (Atmospheric description not included)
  
  In the golf cart you can see Marius.
  
  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.
  
  The tank pursues you!
  
  > go west
  Lower Western Wall (in the golf cart)
  An overhang of rock towers here into the crater.
  
  In the golf cart you can see Marius.
  
  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.
  
  The tank pursues you!
  
  > Go north
  Middle Western Wall (in the golf cart)
  You are in the region of the Crater indicated by the title. (Atmospheric description not included)
  
  In the golf cart you can see Marius.
  
  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.

  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.
  
  The tank pursues you!
  
  > enter the overhang
  That's not something you can enter.
  
  The turret fires - lousily. It hits the overhang behind you. "Oh sh-" says Paul before the whole cart is engulfed in a dust cloud. You steer this way and that, just hoping you don't hit any walls and emerge to the north of the cloud. Marius covers his nose and sneezes. The Venusian clears dust from her face with a dignified wipe of her hand. Unfortunaley, the overhang has missed the tank. The dust covering the gunner makes him look even more like a white shark.
  
  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.
  
  > Go west
  Lower Western Wall (in the golf cart)
  The overhang has fallen to the crater floor. Looks suspiciously like a ramp.
  
  In the golf cart you can see Marius.
  
  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.
  
  The tank pursues you!
  
  > go upwards
  You can't go that way.
  
  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.
  
  > enter the overhang
  That's not something you can enter.
  
  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.
  
  The laser turret fires straight at you!
  
  > jump
  You jump on the spot, fruitlessly.
  
  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.
  
  The laser turret fires straight at you!
  
  > Go west
  You can't go that way.
  
  Paul and the Venusian sit on the backseat, Paul with Marius on his lap.
  
  The laser turret fires straight at you!
  
  > drive over the overhang
  With a screeching handbrake turn, you line up the cart, the ramp and the tank. "What are you doing?" shouts Paul and grabs the seat in front of him. "I'm going Mario on these suckers!"
  You hit the pedal, and the golf cart accelerates, up the makeshift ramp.
  For a second, it's all frozen, the cart in the air, the sharkman gaping up open mouthed- then he screams "Three days from retirement!" before the cart crashes down on him. And catches fire. Quickly.
  "To the tunnel!" you shout and grab Paul's hand.
  As the four of you reach the tunnel, tank and cart explode behind you. "The owner of that golf club must really, really hate you by now"
  says Paul, giggling.
  You hold him for a moment and ruffle his hair.
  The Venusian says something, and Paul frowns, not comprehending. "She asked if we have source of darkness."
  "Must be poetic Venusian language for something. We'll worry about it later."You grab Paul's hand and together you go north, into the tunnel. Marius hopples behind you.
