h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

[Klin turns back into a duplicate of Link]

[Klin] Huh -- huh -- huh --- uh-oh.

[Link] Thanks, Affy.

[Exeunt]

[Mackenzie goes into the forum entitled, "Affy, there's something I'd like to talk to you about..."]

I'll be there, along with being here, thanks to cross-forum continuity.

is there actually a map of this place?

Yes, there is. Go here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A304354
Then click on the link for the "offsite Atelier". The floor plan shown on that page is of the Atelier, which occupies the second floor of CLI. From that page, click on the CLI logo to go to a page showing the floorplan of CLI and some drawings of our bots.



YK - that blob in the middle that you asked about is the foundation for the fireplace in the Atelier above.

*CC completely dissapears. Moments later Arl comes unfrozen.*

Arl: Wow. That was refreshing.

*He turns gun round the right way*

Now, off to catch bad guys.

*Arl runs into room where the bad guys were, but they have gone.*

DRAT!

couple questions, where are the towers on the map? where is the rec room and indeed the rest of the rooms? and I only see one elevator shaft anywere, not 4 for the towers

I remember the rec room being clearly marked on the map. Are you looking at the map of Lil's or of CLI?

[OOC] both, I don't see it, where is it? I must be blind or somthing

[OOC] You aren't blind, I've got false memories. There is not a marked rec room on the CLI map, however there are two rooms near the security room that are unmarked. Perhaps one of these is the rec room. I don't see the elevators or the towers, either, I assume that they were added since the map was made. I think Affy was trying to make the best of a situation where nobody seemed to be looking at the map, so he created extra space to accomadate the action that was taking place.

[OOC] Ok that works, I'll just wait for affy to tell me where these towers are and indeed the rest of rooms are before I continue going on a wild goose chase

*Time passes*

Actually, the map of CLI is only the lower floor of the main part of the primary building in our complex. For instance, it doesn't show the Dungeon levels below, even though they clearly existed before the map does (if it ever comes back, check my first post in the "Minerva Makeover" conversation). However, the towers were added on later as a way to promote my own ideas for CLI's apparent all-encompassing regime of scientific knowledge. The towers and dungeons are there to accomodate the Frankenstienish experiments, and are presumably where other minor lab locations are. The towers are in the four corners of this building, even though the building isn't technically a rectangle.

can you tell us where the important rooms are? and how far it is to the top of the crater from the complex?

Those are constantly changing as the lab grows and develops to accomodate newer and better technologies, while still storing the older ones. Sorry. Just give yourself about thirteen floors to the top of the tower for now, I guess.

Could you tell me what's on this floor at this present time?

GL, if you see this, could you check out the "help I'm incredibly lost" forum? We haven't been posting there so that you could get your ingredients ready. We're only a few posts away from "Death".

Oh, I'll have some fun. For the time being, Level 7 can be one of my many unnecessary references to Zork, and it will bear an uncanny resemblance to the Asylum from Zork Nemesis. In other words, this is where we study dead stuff, and mental conditions (a branch of our medicine department).

Um... Keep me off of level seven, okay guys?

Don't know why not. After all, unless you count the electrode-animation chambers with the living dismembered body parts, the electrical synapses from the security pad, the decapitation machine, and the "looking-glass" chair, there's nothing dangerous there at all. Now, for danger, go to pretty much any other location (except for the Conservatory, that only has the danger of drowning in the boiler room's basement.)

Why do you have a decapitation machine?
