  > Look around
  The reactor! I'm never quite so at home as I am within a nuclear reactor? The great expanse of metal beneath me, the turbines, the invigorating ATOMIC FIZZ of radioactive isotopes tingling on my skin? Ah, how I love it!
  
  There is a passage fore leading deeper into the reactor, as well as a much less inviting exit starboard.
  
  I can see a sludge deposit, a bloodstain, a vacuum flask (which is closed), and a mace here.
  
  > Line 1
  You switch back to Amelia on line 1.
  
  I've found my way into Captain Dashing's bedroom. I suppose that's the dream of many a foolish young lady, isn't it?
  
  The ceiling is reflective, if you can believe such a thing, and the walls are done in the most tasteless mishmash of gilt Romanesque columns, gothic candelabras, and red velvet wallpaper you can possibly imagine. There are mirrors everywhere, and rather a grandiose portrait of the Captain himself hanging on one of the walls. The entire habitat is clearly calculated to overwhelm one's good sense until one cannot help but swoon onto the absurd contraption passing for a bed. An exit west leads back to the main deck of the airship.
  
  > go west
  Motionless robots litter the deck. Even deactivated, they're still imposing.
  
  I can also see an orange striped lever here.
  
  > Line 2
  You switch back to Dirk on line 2.
  
  The reactor! I'm never quite so at home as I am within a nuclear reactor? The great expanse of metal beneath me, the turbines, the invigorating ATOMIC FIZZ of radioactive isotopes tingling on my skin? Ah, how I love it!

  > Go north
  I'm perched at the edge of the reactor pool, which bubbles encouragingly as ATOMIC POWER courses through it. It will be a shame to destroy something so beautiful, but nothing will stand between me and my revenge on Dashing. The pool could use a good scrub, but at least the control rods are still intact. The exit from the reactor is aft, and there is a rusted wheel mounted on the wall beside it.
  
  I can see a reactor pool (which contains some control rods) here.
  
  > go south
  I can see a sludge deposit, a bloodstain, a vacuum flask (which is closed), and a mace here.
  
  > pull the lever
  The lever doesn't budge. It can only be used in an EMERGENCY---a nuclear meltdown, for example.
  
  You hear a loud bell and a mechanized voice over the line: Danger! Danger! Meltdown imminent! Evacuate immediately! Danger!
  
  > Continue
  The emergency ladder springs up, allowing me to access the upper balloon.
  
  You hear a loud bell and a mechanized voice over the line: Danger! Danger! Meltdown imminent! Evacuate immediately! Danger!
  
  > go north
  I can see a silver punch card here.

  I can also see a vacuum flask (which is open and contains a lead box) and an orange striped lever here.

  > take the box
  Taken.

  > examine the harpoon
  One of Dashing's toys. This one is a harpoon with a sharp tip.
  
  > look at the slime
  It's a disgusting slime residue.
  
  > take it
  Dealing with the monster was demeaning enough. I'm not about to waste my time dealing with its by-products.
  
  > go to the north
  I can see a silver punch card here.

  I'm having trouble moving about in here, Owl. My entire body is unnaturally warm, and I feel ill. I'm not sure this place is safe.
  
  > eat the slime
  Must I really eat that? Let me hold my nose a bit first...
  
  Urgh, that was certainly foul. My skin has become more blubbery and tough, like vulcanized rubber. It's a bit tricky to walk, but I think I can take quite a bit more of a punch now.
  
  I'm sorry, Owl, but I'm not feeling up to continuing. I feel hot all over, and my stomach...I need to sit down for just a moment and...rest...
  
  > eat the blood
  Yuck! The depths to which I must stoop in pursuit of my goals. I hope you're know what you're doing...
  
  I have, under protest, tasted a bit of the blood. The world seems to have become darker and colder, as if light and heat were simply passing through me.
  
  > Line 2
  You switch back to Dirk on line 2.
  
  I'm in the robot command area of the ship, its innermost cortex from which Dashing directs MY automata. Pfaugh! The lout! The electromechanical computation engine seems to be in recent repair, fortunately. Ah, and there's the bookshelf, where the technical manuals and programmer's notes are meant to be stored. The aft exit leads back to the main deck.
