  > describe your surroundings
  The university disco is open all day and every day during rag week. The students are having a wild and wacky sponsored bop-til-you-drop competition. They're having a whale of a time, pretending they're robots when the stroboscopic light is on and performing mindless synchronised dances to songs they'd normally only dance to if they were on holiday where no-one would remember them. You know it's all done for charity, but they look suspiciously like they're enjoying themselves. Some disco dancers are here.
  
  > Inventory
  You are carrying a fishofax, a tatty card, a travel pass, a hyperdriver, a film and a bag.
  You are wearing a watch, some dark glasses and some ear-plugs.
  
  > Go south
  If things want learning in Hydropolis, then Opah University is where they get learned. The university disco to the north is in the middle of a bop-til-you-drop rag week stunt with schools of tired students swimming in and out to the heavy four-four beat. An expensive restaurant lies to the south. Have you made a reservation? No? Too bad. It's very popular. An impressive archway leads east into the university itself. You can return to Opah tube station by going west.
  A statue of the university founder is in the middle of the quad.
  
  > examine the statue
  The statue has the University motto, 'Scientia est bona' engraved underneath.
  
  > Go east
  Windows line the north wall of this corridor which continues east and west. They look out onto the quad, and stream light on to an archway which leads south to the library.
  As you arrive Bertie Bream greets you cheerfully.
  
  > go south
  "The principal's not available at the moment, Dr. Roach," her secretary informs you, "I'll tell her you called." She shows you out to the foyer.
  University Foyer
  The foyer is lined with ancient busts of important looking fish from the university's past, an ugly bunch of egg-headed reprobates if ever you saw some. West, an impressive arch will take you out of the university. A corridor continues east, and a metal door blocks any access to the north. The principal's office is to the south.
  
  > put tatty card in the slot
  The card fits neatly into the slot. After a few reassuring buzzes the door slides open smoothly and the card is returned to your waiting hand.
  Abruptly, everything starts heading towards a certain point, accompanied by a grotesque sucking noise. Before you have time to react you are surrounded by a blinding white light which rapidly expands to engulf the whole of Hydropolis. Then silence. You are nothing but a handful of minute particles floating in free space. "You blew that, didn't you?" Sir Playfair Panchax is clearly not amused. "We'll try and get you back to your bowl, but I've got some bad news. The Fins have located you. They're out for revenge. Keep your head old chap, this could be nasty. Panchax out." You are dumped back in the fishbowl. Goldfish Bowl
  A tingle runs up and down your scales here. It's definitely not your vacation bowl. True, it does have gravel, ant eggs and pondweed, but then so has every goldfish bowl. The difference is you can see out of this bowl and it doesn't have a tacky plastic castle. It looks like you're in a computer room of some kind, with terminals lining the walls.
  "You complete Halibut!" shouts Sir Playfair Panchax. He doesn't sound happy at all. "We warned you not to damage Dr. Roach's body. He was the only one who could save Hydropolis. The Fins have won and are out to get you. There is nothing we at Mission HQ can do." The good news is you've been sent back to the bowl. The bad news is that the dimensional warps have disappeared. It looks like you're in big trouble.
  
  > go north
  Some would call this apartment small and pretentious, but with house prices in Hydropolis the way they are, small and pretentious was all Dr. Roach could afford. Anyway, he managed to get a view of Hydropolis - not many places have even that. The room is decorated in a minimalist style but, as Dr. Roach would say if he weren't under your control, "I am a man of minimal needs." The only excesses he has allowed himself are a painting, a trendy black shelf, a switch to control the lights and, most important, a door to get out.
  There is a fishton here.
  
  > Go north
  With no security guard, no intercom and no doors, any old eel could slip in here and break into every apartment in the block. It's a wonder it hasn't happened yet! Mind you, it wouldn't be all bad. At least Dr. Roach could get some new furniture with the insurance money. The exit out to Paddlington is to the south and the access shaft leads up to the landing.
  As you arrive Simon Tench greets you cheerfully.
  
  > Go south
  This is the up and coming place to live in Hydropolis. It's also one of the busiest, teaming with guppies. Your apartment block is to the north and the entrance to the underground station bearing the logo of the Hydropolis Underground Omnibus Company stands to the east.
  A group of students swim by with what looks like the principal.
  
  > Go south
  The tracks, leading off into the dark tunnel, lie beyond the northern edge of the platform. Trains arrive quite frequently, once every three minutes on average, a fact not unnoticed by the section of the Hydropolis Underground Omnibus Company responsible for advertising. You can go up to ground level via the access funnel to Opah University.
  An underground train is here but looks likely to leave at any moment. "All aboard," shouts the guard. Some dolphins rush in where angelfish fear to tread. The doors close and the train accelerates out of the station.
  
  > Go south
  "Good morning Dr. Roach," says the principal's secretary, "have a seat. She won't be long." She finally arrives at ten minutes to ten. "Good morning Doctor," says the principal as she closes the door and takes a seat, "I'm sorry if this is inconvenient, but it is an emergency. It seems this talk about parasiting may not be speculation. We've received information that a junior member of your team has been 'taken over' and has sabotaged The Project. You don't need me to tell you that this could be disastrous for Hydropolis. Naturally, I've suspended everyone until further notice. You're the only one I can trust; I want you to investigate. I'm going to the government to inform them of the danger. I'm not evacuating, so don't worry. I'll be back tomorrow." She gets up. "Now please hurry doctor. There's not a second to lose." You walk back to the foyer together then go your separate ways.
