  > Go downward
  You are in a tall, round cave, like the bottom of a well. A pipe runs from the passage to the west and through an iron grating to the east. There's a faint light from above. A ladder leads upwards.
  
  You can see a trailing network cable here. The cable runs up and west from here.
  
  > go west
  You stand on a muddy beach on the south side of an underground lake. The lake occupies almost all of the cave, leaving only this beach and a path to the west. The lake is bridged by a pipe here - it comes from a passage to the east, and then runs across the lake to the north. The cave is filled with the sound of a waterfall.
  
  You can see a trailing network cable here. The cable runs east and west from here.
  
  > Go southwest
  You can't go that way. Exits lead:
  north to the Damp Cavern.
  east to the Fork.
  west to the Crawl Tunnel.
  
  > go southeast
  You're standing on a path on the north side of an underground river which flows through the cave here. The river level is too high to allow passage in any direction except through a narrow passage to the northwest.
  
  A network cable runs out of the narrow passage and disappears into the river.
  
  You can also see a satellite uplink kit here.
  
  > drop all
  satellite uplink kit: Dropped.
  plastic float: Dropped.
  toolbag: Dropped.
  black box: The black box contains your mind. If you disconnect it, you die.
  
  > go to the south
  You start to cross the lake by walking along the pipe, and you nearly lose your balance on several occasions, but luckily you make it to the other side...
  
  You stand on a muddy beach on the south side of an underground lake. The lake occupies almost all of the cave, leaving only this beach and a path to the west. The lake is bridged by a pipe here - it comes from a passage to the east, and then runs across the lake to the north. The cave is filled with the sound of a waterfall.
  
  You can see a trailing network cable here. The cable runs east and west from here.
  
  > Go north
  You cautiously cross the lake by walking along the pipe...
  
  You're standing on a rocky outcrop on the north side of an underground lake. The lake is bridged by a large metal pipe, which crosses the water to a small muddy beach on the far side. You hear a waterfall to the west. A passage leads northwest.
  
  You can see a plastic float here.
  
  You can also see a toolbag (in which are a screwdriver, an instruction book and a cable joining tool) here.
  
  > take all
  toolbag: Taken.
  plastic float: Taken.
  metal pipe: That's hardly portable.
  underground lake: That's hardly portable.
  
  > go to the south

  You can also see a satellite uplink kit here.
  
  > Go upwards
  You're standing in the ruins of a farmhouse. The roof is gone, and some of the walls have collapsed. Thick brambles surround the ruin, blocking passage in all directions. It is early morning, and the remains of the building look beautiful in the dawn light. The air is filled with birdsong. A manhole leads down into the caves.
  
  You can see a trailing network cable here. The cable runs down from here.
  
  > open it
  The uplink kit automatically unfolds a small satellite dish and locks on to a satellite.
  
  > look at the dish
  The satellite uplink kit is housed in a heavy case (which is open). Within it, you see a small satellite dish and a network socket. It provides emergency network access via satellite. The status panel on the uplink kit shows that satellite communications are working, but there is no data link yet.
  
  > plug the cable to the Socket
  (first taking the trailing network cable)
  The status panel on the uplink kit lights up as the connection is established! The trailing network cable is now plugged into the uplink socket.
  
  > Inventory
  You are carrying:
  a trailing network cable (plugged into the uplink socket and runs
  down from here)
  a plastic float
  a toolbag (which is open)
  a screwdriver
  an instruction book
  a cable joining tool
  a black box
  
  > go to the north
  As you step into the charging station, your robotic form shuts down...
  
  Sunshine streams through the windows of the lobby. The Central Administrator and a few other senior staff are waiting to congratulate you. You have passed your final exam. There is a brief round of hand-shaking and back-patting.
  
  'I am sorry it was a little unorthodox,' the Central
  Administrator begins. 'It's normally just a three-hour viva. But I think we can skip that, under the circumstances.
  
  'Let me introduce you to the new Security Administrator. I had
  thought that the attack came from outside, but it turns out to have been something of a palace coup. There's been a reshuffle.
  
  'The guilty party deserves a second chance, I think, but will not
  be returning to a position of any responsibility.
  
  'But, the good news: I've found you a job in Simulation. It will be ideally suited to the skills and capabilities you ably demonstrated today.'
  
  The new Security Administrator leads you up the stairs to introduce you to your new co-workers.
  
  Your life as an Administrator has begun.
