.GSTR STR?11,"This is a steep metal gangway connecting Deck Eight, above, and Deck Nine, below."
.GSTR STR?12,"This is a featureless corridor leading port and starboard. A gangway leads down, and to fore is the Hyperspatial Jump Machinery Room."
.GSTR STR?43,"You pass a sign, surrounded by blinking red lights, which says "
.GSTR STR?81,"Wheeeeeee!!!"
.GSTR STR?99,"What a concept!"
.GSTR STR?103,"This was once the west wing of the castle, but the walls are now mostly rubble, allowing a view of the cliff and ocean below. Rubble blocks all exits save one, eastward to the courtyard."
.GSTR STR?105,"This is a featureless hall leading north and south. Although the hallway is old and dusty, the construction is of a much more modern style than the castle to the south. A similar hall branches off to the northeast."
.GSTR STR?106,"This is a tiny room with a large ""1"" painted on the wall. A panel contains a slot about ten centimeters wide, a beige button labelled ""2"" and a tan button labelled ""3."""
.GSTR STR?107,"This is a wide, east-west hallway. Portals lead north and south, and another corridor branches southwest."
.GSTR STR?108,"This is a very long room lined with multi-tiered bunks. Flimsy partitions between the tiers may have provided a modicum of privacy. These spartan living quarters could have once housed many hundreds, but it seems quite deserted now. There are openings at the north and south ends of the room."
.GSTR STR?109,"This must be the sanitary facility for the adjacent dormitory. The fixtures are dry and dusty, the room dead and deserted. You marvel at how little the millenia and cultural gulfs have changed toilet bowl design. The only exit is north."
.GSTR STR?110,"This must be the sanitary facility for the adjacent dormitory. The fixtures are dry and dusty, the room dead and deserted. You marvel at how little the millenia and cultural gulfs have changed toilet bowl design. The only exit is south."
.GSTR STR?111,"This is a small room obviously intended as a storage area."
.GSTR STR?116,"This is a wide, east-west hallway with openings to the north and south. To the east, the corridor stretches off into the distance. That section of the hallway is lined with a motorized walkway (no longer running) that was probably intended to transport people or cargo down that tremendously long hall."
.GSTR STR?117,"This is the food production and dispensary area for the dining hall to the north. Of particular interest is a machine near the door. You should probably examine it more closely."
.GSTR STR?120,"This section of hallway seems to have suffered some minor structural damage. The walls are cracked, and a jagged crevice crosses the floor. An opening leads east and the corridor heads north and south."
.GSTR STR?124,"This is a small room whose far wall is covered with many small cubbyholes, all empty. The left wall is covered with an enormous map, labelled ""Kalamontee Kompleks"", showing two installations connected by a long hallway. Near the upper part of this map is a red arrow saying ""Yuu ar heer."" The right wall is covered with a similar map, labelled ""Lawanda Kompleks"", showing two installations, one apparently buried deep underground."

.GSTR STR?129,"The card is embossed ""shutul akses kard."""
.GSTR STR?130,"The card is embossed ""loowur elivaatur akses kard."""
.GSTR STR?131,"This is a large, plush office. The far wall is one large picture window, scratched but unbroken, offering a view of this installation and the ocean beyond. In front of the window is a wide wooden desk. The only exit is east."
.GSTR STR?133,"The corridor ends here with doorways to the southwest, south, and southeast."
.GSTR STR?138,"This is a huge, dim room with exits in the northeast and southeast corners. The room is criss-crossed with catwalks and is filled with heavy equipment presumably intended to heat and ventilate this complex. Hardly any of the equipment is still operating."
.GSTR STR?139,"This room contains many dials and gauges for controlling a massive planetary power reactor which, according to a diagram on the wall, must be buried far below this very complex. The exit is to the west. To the east is a metal door, and next to it, a button. A dark stairway winds downward."
.GSTR STR?140,"This is an elevator with a door to the west, currently open. A control panel contains an Up button, a Down button, and a small slot."
.GSTR STR?141,"This is apparently a storage room for tools. Exits lead northeast and east."
.GSTR STR?152,"This room, with exits west and northwest, is filled with robot-like devices of every conceivable description, all in various states of disassembly."
.GSTR STR?178,"This is a tiny room with a large ""2"" painted on the wall. A panel contains a slot about ten centimeters wide, a brown button labelled ""1"" and a tan button labelled ""3."""
.GSTR STR?179,"This is a small, circular room. A sliding door leads north, and a spiral staircase heads upwards. Other exits lie to the northeast and southwest."
.GSTR STR?182,"This is a large vehicle with a lot of cargo space. A complex control panel is closed and locked. Everything is covered with a thick layer of rust. Through the windows of the vehicle you can see a wide Helipad, and beyond that, endless ocean far below. Several doors lead out to the Helipad."
.GSTR STR?187,"The chemical drips all over the silicon strip, which immediately begins to dissolve. As it does so, you plunge into the void below."
.GSTR STR?188,"This is a balcony girdling the tower. The view is breathtaking; the tower must be half a kilometer tall. From here it is clear that you are on an island. The dormitory section of the complex is visible on the other side of the island, and the rest of the complex sprawls out directly below. In the distance, about 20 kilometers to the east, you can spot another island similar to this one. The only exit is a doorway leading northeast."
.GSTR STR?189,"This is a concrete platform sparsely furnished with benches. The platform continues to the east, and to the south is a metal door."
.GSTR STR?191,"This is a hallway which forks to the northeast and southeast. To the west is the top of a long escalator."
.GSTR STR?201,"The corridor bends here, leading east and southwest. A doorway opens to the northwest, and a narrow stairway leads down to the north."
.GSTR STR?202,"This section of hallway has a doorway to the north labelled ""Planateree Deefens."" The corridor continues east and west."
.GSTR STR?204,"This is an enormous room full of environmental control equipment presumably intended to heat and ventilate the Lawanda Complex. Oddly, although the Lawanda Complex is slightly smaller than its counterpart, this plant is much larger than the one in the Kalamontee Complex. The only exit is westward."
.GSTR STR?205,"This is a carpeted room, thick with dust, with exits to the north and south. To the west, up a few steps, is a wide doorway. A small booth lies to the east."
.GSTR STR?208,"This is a tiny room with a large ""3"" painted on the wall. A panel contains a slot about ten centimeters wide, a brown button labelled ""1"" and a beige button labelled ""2."""
.GSTR STR?209,"This is a large carpeted room with a desk and many small tables. The sole exit is down a few steps to the east."
.GSTR STR?226,"""Wixin xe last fiiv senshureez, xe riiz uv xe Nuu Teknakrasee haz reeturnd sivilizaashun tuu xe levul ataand beefoor xe Hiiaatus. Sooshul histooreeunz xink xat wen xe Dizeez struk, ar raas had aceevd aa levul uv sufistikaashun eekwal tuu xe pree-Hiiaatus."""
.GSTR STR?250,"This is a curving hallway leading east and northwest. There is an opening to the west."
.GSTR STR?251,"This is another dusty sanitary facility. Unlike the ones near the dorms, this one is smaller and has no bathing fixtures."
.GSTR STR?254,"This is the main computer room for the Project. The only sign of activity is a glowing red light. The exits are north, west, and northeast. To the south is a small booth."
.GSTR STR?255,"This is a small room barely large enough for one person. Mounted on the wall is a small slot, and next to it a keyboard with numeric keys. The exit is to the north."
.GSTR STR?256,"The card is embossed ""minitcurizaashun akses kard."""
.GSTR STR?257,"This is the heart of the Project's vast laboratory complex. There are exits to the west and southwest, and heavy metal doors to the northeast and southeast. A small doorway leads south."
.GSTR STR?258,"This is a tiny room for the storage of laboratory supplies. The sole exit is to the north."
.GSTR STR?260,"The card is embossed ""teliportaashun akses kard."""
.GSTR STR?261,"This is the first half of a sterilization chamber to prevent contamination of the delicate biological experiments in the Bio Lab which lies beyond. The door to the west leads to the main lab, and the bio lock continues eastward."
.GSTR STR?263,"This is the western half of a decontamination chamber to prevent dangerous radioactive materials from leaving the Radiation Lab which lies to the east. The door leads west to the main lab."
.GSTR STR?264,"This is the eastern half of the decontamination chamber. The door to the east leads to the Radiation Lab, and the chamber continues westward. A sign on the wall reads ""WORNEENG! Raadeeaashun suuts must bee worn beeyond xis point."""
.GSTR STR?270," Unfortunately, you don't seem to be that hardy."
.GSTR STR?278,"This room is filled with unfathomable equipment and large canisters bearing radioactive warnings. Many of the canisters are split open. You can see the Bio Lab through a large crack in the south wall. Sinister-looking forms move about within the Bio Lab. Although the lights here are off, the room is suffused with a pale blue glow."
.GSTR STR?286,"This is another small booth. Unlike the Miniaturization Booth, this room has no slot or keyboard, so presumably it is intended only as a receiving station. The exit is on the northern side."
.GSTR STR?299,"somewhat warm now"
.GSTR STR?303,"somewhat warm"
.GSTR STR?324,"Lurking nearby is a vicious-looking creature with slavering fangs. Squinting in the light, it eyes you hungrily."

You are thrown against the bulkhead, head first. It seems that getting in the safety webbing would have been a good idea."
.GSTR STR?47,"...You find yourself on the bridge of the Feinstein. Ensign Blather is here, as well as Admiral Smithers. You are diligently scrubbing the control panel. Blather keeps yelling at you to scrub harder. Suddenly you hit the ship's self-destruct switch! Smithers and Blather howl at you as the ship begins exploding! You try to run, but your feet seem to be fused to the deck..."
.GSTR STR?48,"...You gulp down the last of your Ramosian Fire Nectar and ask the andro-waiter for another pitcher. This pub makes the finest Nectar on all of Ramos Two, and you and your shipmates are having a pretty rowdy time. Through the windows of the pub you can see a mighty, ancient castle, shining in the light of the three Ramosian moons. The Fire Nectar spreads through your blood and you begin to feel drowsy..."
.GSTR STR?50,"...Your vision slowly returns. You are on a wooded cliff overlooking a waterfall. A rainbow spans the falls. Blather stands above you, bellowing that the ground is filthy -- scrub harder! You throw your brush at Blather, but it passes thru him as though he were a ghost, and sails over the cliff. Blather leaps after the valuable piece of Patrol property, and both plummet into the void..."
