Everything looks normal, except on the final monitor. It shows a gaseous cloud with a gigantic eye ball floating at its center.\n\nIt's a dangerous shapeshifting entity that has escaped! You better get down there quick smart and do something about it. Or, at the very least, inform someone who CAN do something about it.\n\n[[Teleport away!|Beam me anywhere, Scotty]]<<endif>>
<<set $wrong_choices = 0>>The door slides open with a "DING!" and you quickly make your way down the revealed hallway.\n\nYou turn a corner and literally bump into yourself. You've found the shapeshifter, and it’s taken your form! How rude!\n\n<<display 'Take action'>>
The keypad emits a loud "HONK!" and resets itself.\n\n<<display 'The keypad'>>
You wake up surrounded by darkness.\n\n[[Search for a sign of light.|Light]]
No matter the time of day, the sun will always pour light into this room due to the station's position in orbit. Luckily, the blinds are capable of blocking all incoming light.\n\nEvery time you look outside the window, you get the classic Ace of Base song "The Sign" stuck in your head, with the word "sign" replaced with "sun." It never gets old.\n\n<<display 'Room'>>
<<silently>>\n<<set $looked_at_keypad = "yes">>\n<<endsilently>>You look at the keypad, which consists of four different coloured buttons.

<<set $wrong_choices = $wrong_choices + 1>>You take a swing at the shapeshifter, only for your fist to fly right through it and you stumble to the floor! \n\nDespite its undeniably attractive appearance, it's still mostly a floating cloud of gas!\n\n<<display 'Take action'>>\n
<<silently>>\n<<set $drinks_up = "no">>\n<<set $looked_at_keypad = "no">>\n<<endsilently>>You slam your fist against the Transport button and whisk yourself away.\n\nYour vision blurs and you feel slight nausea before the world finally decides to stop spinning. You look up and find yourself in the station's restaurant.\n\nInitially configuring your teleporter to bring you here seemed like a good idea at the time, mainly because you were hungry. Now, not so much.\n\n<<display 'Restaurant'>>
Your research console is a monolithic computer device, like something out of the 1970s, except about three billion times more powerful.\n\nIt is decorated with a smorgasbord of controls.\n\n[[Fiddle with some knobs.|Working]]\n[[Tweak some dials.|Working]]\n[[Push some buttons.|Working]]
<<if $drinks_up eq "no">>The bartender is a blob-like creature with three stalks protruding from the top of... what you believe to be its head, and a single, bulbous eye sits atop each.\n\n[[Ignore the bartender.|Restaurant]]\n<<if $looked_at_keypad eq "yes">>[[Ask bartender about the keypad.|Code]]<<endif>>\n<<else>><<display 'Drinks'>><<endif>>
<<set $wrong_choices = $wrong_choices + 1>>You dive at the shapeshifter, only to fall right through it! \n\nIt may look (like an incredibly attractive) human, but it's still primarily a floating cloud of gas!\n\n<<display 'Take action'>>

Your quarters are almost embarrassingly sparse. A small [[lamp|Lamp]] sits atop a desk next to your [[bed|Bed]], though it's certainly not needed at the moment thanks to the gigantic [[window|Window]].\n\nThen, of course, is your [[research console|Consoling]], waiting patiently in a corner of the room.\n
Tables are littered all around the large room, with an all you can eat buffet to the right of you offering a variety of mostly synthetic food.\n\nTo the left is a Venusian working the [[soda bar|Soda bar]], and next to it is door, which leads to the research labs. A small [[keypad|The keypad]] is placed on the wall beside it.
You search the darkness, and eventually notice a small, flashing red button to the left of your head.\n\n[[Push the button!|View]]
A hoverspring bed, designed to simulate sleeping in zero gravity. Many people consider the feeling a luxury, but you never quite got used to it.\n\nIt also greatly enhances sexual encounters. Or so you're told. Tragically, you've been a little too busy to try it yourself.\n\n<<display 'Room'>>
Suddenly, the shapeshifter turns into a herd of elephants and tramples you to death!\n\nNow that was a crushing defeat!\n\n<html><center><h1>GAME OVER!</h1></center></html>\n\n[[Try again!|To the labs!]]
You jab the button.\n\nMechanical blinds roll up a wall, revealing a window. Light pours into the room, illuminating your quarters on Space Station Phoenix 5.\n\nBeyond the window you can see the same thing you see every morning: the surface of Venus, as seen from its orbit.\n\nThe beautiful view is one of the few things that makes life on this floating collection of metal tolerable. That, and being able to play Space Polo, the sport of Space Royalty.\n\n[[Get out of bed.|Room]]
<<set $drinks_up = "yes">>You ask the bartender about the code, but they don't understand Earthican, and you don't understand Venusian.\n\nAfter a few minutes of trying to understand each other, the bartender rolls its three eyes. They place four drinks in front of you, each appearing incredibly unsafe for human consumption. They point to the drinks, before waddling off to serve other patrons.\n\n<<display 'Drinks'>>\n
You lift the cover and look at the lamp. Inside the bulb are small, luminous fish from the massive underground lakes of Venus. These small creatures have replaced traditional lighting in most places.\n\nYou lower the cover again.\n\n<<display 'Room'>>
You grab hold of a railing and punch the airlock button! It blasts open, sucking out everything that isn't welded down. \n\nThe shapshifter frantically tries to grab onto you, but its arm drifts through your body, it betrayed by its own gaseous form as it's sucked into cold space.\n\nThe airlock reseals, and you plomp butt first onto the ground. You get up and head back to the restaurant to celebrate a job done well enough.\n\n<html><center><h1>THE END!</h1></center></html>

Hulk Handsome
The first drink is a green goop known as Slurm. It's famous for having more sugar content than any other known beverage in the galaxy.\n\nNext to it is a tall glass full of a bright blue Neptunium drink known as Blue Valhalla. It's apparently liquefied gas.\n\nThird is a bright yellow, durian flavoured Fanta. Clothes pegs are clipped to the side of a glass. It's considered common courtesy to hand these out to anyone who is near you when consuming this beverage. \n\nFinally, on the end, is a titanium mug holding what appears to be bubbling, red magma. It's popular among robots.\n\n<<display 'Restaurant'>>
