As an agent of the Bureau of Strange Happenings (BOSH), it is Agent Larch Faraji's job to investigate unexplained phenomena throughout the United States and its territories. Recently, however, business hasn't been good. Once a bustling office with a dozen Agents, the Bureau's been reduced to just three: Faraji, Moira Zin, and Chief Huffton Klimp. The Bureau's expansive and well-appointed office suite was taken over by the State Department Book Club, and now the agents have been consigned to a tiny suite in a strip mall in the remote D.C. suburb of Swamp Park, Maryland. Today is move-in day at the bureau.
 
We open on a decrepit strip mall just as an aging Hyundai pulls into the potholed parking lot. Agent Faraji steps out of the car. They survey the area and wrinkle their nose.

Agent Faraji is at the south end of the strip mall parking lot. From here one can see just how humble BOSH's state has become: the office is to the west, between a pawn shop (to the southwest) and a run-down laundromat (to the northwest) and across from an automatic car wash (to the east). To the south is a swampy area separating the lot from the interstate. The parking lot continues north.

>help
Suddenly Agent Faraji is surrounded by a white vapor. When it clears, they find themself somewhere else...
 
Agent Faraji is in the Bureau of Special Help. It is bare save for a bookshelf and a button on the wall marked "Exit". Faraji can go east from here. There is also a closed door to the north.
 
You can type EXAMINE BOOKSHELF to see what's on the shelf, or PUSH BUTTON to leave help. You can also type a direction (like EAST) to move around. Type LOOK to repeat the description of the room.
 
>x bookshelf
The shelf is full of books, each with a title that seems to promise help with some problem or other. Faraji may READ any of them to get some help.
 
On the Help Shelf are IF Basics, Commands Volume 1, Commands Volume 2, Commands Volume 3, Strategies of Adventuring, Grammar of IF, and BOSH Game Book.
 
>e
Agent Faraji is in the Observation Room. This small white room seems like a museum gallery, but with a window instead of art. Through the window you can see a lake at night, pelted by rain. Nothing can be seen through the storm-darkened waters.
 
A comfortable-looking viewing couch dominates the center of the observation room. Exits lead north and west.
 
Someone has left an umbrella on the couch.
 
You can type LOOK to repeat the description of the room. You can also EXAMINE an object to get a closer look at it. Or you can SIT ON THE COUCH.
 
>x umbrella
A sturdy black umbrella. It is closed.
 
You can type TAKE UMBRELLA to pick it up. Or you can OPEN UMBRELLA to open it.
 
>take umbrella
Taken. Try taking INVENTORY to see what you picked up.
 
The view through the window changes.
 
Through the window one can see a creepy looking place. It looks like the parlor of an old house, maybe Colonial era. There is a table with some chairs, with a book on the table. On the periphery of the window something insect-like flutters, largely out of view.
 
>i
Faraji is carrying:
  an umbrella (closed)
 
>open umbrella
Oh no, it's bad luck to open an umbrella indoors! Faraji should close it quickly!
 
>close umbrella
Faraji closes the umbrella. Phew!
 
You can see the Bad Luck Counter in the status line (up at the top of the screen). When it reaches 0, Faraji will be safe from bad luck.
 
Oops! Faraji drops the umbrella.
 
>wait
Faraji stands around and waits.
 
Faraji loses their balance.
 
The view through the window changes.
 
Through the window one can see a blinding white space with impossible geometry. What looks like a structure of some kind is visible in the distance, but it's hard to make out the details.

Faraji gets a cramp in their leg.
 
Faraji can feel the bad luck finally dissipate. Thank goodness.
 
The view through the window changes.
 
Through the window one can see a steeple in a small town. The steeple is old and weathered, and the town looks deserted. There is a telescope on a tripod, pointed at the town.

Faraji presses the button and finds themself back in the real world.
 
Agent Faraji is at the south end of the strip mall parking lot. From here one can see just how humble BOSH's state has become: the office is to the west, between a pawn shop (to the southwest) and a run-down laundromat (to the northwest) and across from an automatic car wash (to the east). To the south is a swampy area separating the lot from the interstate. The parking lot continues north.
 
Their bright red Hyundai Accent is parked nearby.
 
>w
Just like in the store this once was, the door chimes as Faraji walks in.
 
Agent Faraji is in the front office. It's really a small storefront done up to resemble an office. A store sales counter functions as the BOSH front desk, behind which are located shelves of office supplies and a row of drawers. There are also a couch and coffee table here creating a makeshift seating area. An old department store clothing rack serves as a coat rack. Bureau photos on the walls picture the Bureau in better days. A stack of used and empty cardboard boxes sits in one corner.
 
The exit is to the east, while the office continues via a hallway to the west.
 
The Bureau's latest office manager, Margaret is bustling around with unrestrained enthusiasm, unpacking boxes and assembling an approximation of a respectable front office, all as if the Bureau isn't going to be shut down before the year is out. She sees Faraji and practically squeals. "Agent Faraji! I'm sorry -- Larch! How are you? I hope you don't mind -- I took the liberty of putting your desk together. I just love hex wrenches, don't you? Also, your new phone is here. I put it in your desk. Now I just need you to give me your old phone so I can deactivate it."
 
"Oh, good", Faraji says. "Our phone downgrades have arrived from our bureaucratic betters."
 
Faraji hands Margaret their old phone. Margaret taps a few keys on her computer and says "There! All settled."
 
A phone is ringing somewhere to the west.
 
Faraji can ask about the phone exchange, ask where Klimp is, or ask where Moira is.
 
>w
Faraji extricates themself from Margaret's clutches.
 
Agent Faraji is in the hallway. Their office is to the south, Klimp's is to the west, and Moira's is to the north. The front office is east. Faraji's door is open; Klimp's door and Moira's door are closed.
 
A phone is ringing to the south, in Faraji's office.
 
>s
Faraji enters their new office full of... is it anticipation or dread?
 
Agent Faraji is in their office. They pause and survey the scene. It's not much -- four white walls, grey industrial carpet. Margaret has helpfully assembled Faraji's desk and chair, though how sturdily is an open question. She also took the time to put up some of Agent Faraji's office decor -- their degree in Nonstandard Investigative Techniques, an original pencil drawing of the Pitfall snake by semi-acclaimed Washington DC artist Darius 5200, and a photo of their soccer team. At the very least the wall coverings help compensate for the lack of windows. The office door is to the north, and there's a white metal door to the west.
 
Faraji mutters, "Where's my computer?"
 
A phone is ringing inside Faraji's desk.
 
>answer phone
There's nothing like that nearby.
 
>open drawer
Faraji tries to open the desk to answer the phone, but it seems to be locked. They sigh. "Margaret must have the key."
 
A phone is ringing inside Faraji's desk.

Agent Faraji is in the hallway. Their office is to the south, Klimp's is to the west, and Moira's is to the north. The front office is east. Faraji's door is open; Klimp's door and Moira's door are closed.

With trepidation, Faraji ventures once more into Margaret's domain.

Faraji can ask about the desk key, ask about the status of the computer, ask about the phone exchange, ask where Klimp is, or ask where Moira is.
 
>ask margaret for desk key
They say, "Hey Margaret, do you know anything about my desk key?"
 
"Sure I do -- I put it in your desk." She furrows her brow. "What's the matter?"
 
[You can "RECAP Margaret" at any time to review what you've discussed with Margaret.]
 
Margaret sighs and says, "So many boxes..." She picks up some and flattens them.
 
* Margaret goes west.

Margaret is here, carrying a couple of flattened boxes.
 
* Margaret goes south.
 
A phone is ringing to the south, in Faraji's office.
 
>s
Agent Faraji is in their office. It's basically four white walls and grey carpet. There's a cheap desk and chair. In lieu of windows, there are a few things on the wall: their degree in Nonstandard Investigative Techniques, a pencil drawing of the Pitfall snake, and a photo of their soccer team. The office door is to the north, and there's a white metal door to the west.
 
Margaret is here, carrying a couple of flattened boxes.
 
Margaret unlocks the BOSH back door.
 
A phone is ringing inside Faraji's desk.
 
Faraji can ask about the status of the computer, ask about the phone exchange, ask about the locked desk, ask where Klimp is, or ask where Moira is.

The desk is a cheap DIY piece held together with hex screws. It has a single drawer which is closed.
 
Margaret opens the BOSH back door.
 
* Margaret goes west.
 
A phone is ringing inside Faraji's desk.
 
>w
The scent of asphalt and old cigarette butts greets Faraji as they leave the office.
 
Agent Faraji is in the back lot. This is a small area of asphalt between the building and a chain link fence looking in on an industrial property. A door to east leads into the BOSH offices, and one to the north enters the laundromat. There is a blue dumpster here.
 
Margaret is here, carrying a couple of flattened boxes.
 
Margaret tosses the flattened boxes over the edge of the dumpster.
 
A phone is ringing to the east, in Faraji's office.
 
Faraji can ask about the status of the computer, ask for the hex wrench, ask about the phone exchange, ask about the locked desk, ask where Klimp is, or ask where Moira is.
 
>ask margaret for hex wrench
They say, "Do you happen to have the hex wrench from putting together my desk?"
 
"Well, I did, but I dropped it down a heating vent behind my desk."
 
* Margaret goes east.
 
A phone is ringing to the east, in Faraji's office.

A typical air register with a grill which one would hope would stop things like, say, a hex wrench from falling through. It's set in the floor behind the front desk. The vent is held closed by four screws.
 
In the heating vent is a hex wrench.
 
A phone is ringing somewhere to the west.
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver, ask about the phone exchange, ask about the locked desk, ask where Klimp is, or ask where Moira is.

Faraji can ask for a screwdriver, ask about the phone exchange, ask about the locked desk, ask where Klimp is, or ask where Moira is.

They ask, "Margaret, where's the screwdriver?"
 
"Umm... I think it was in a box we had to leave behind." Margaret looks embarrassed. "What? I never thought we'd need it. This isn't a construction site after all. Maybe if Klimp had paid for the bigger UHaul..." She stares past Faraji awkwardly.
 
A phone is ringing somewhere to the west.
 
Faraji can ask about the phone exchange, ask about the locked desk, ask where Klimp is, or ask where Moira is.

Faraji can ask about the phone exchange or ask about the locked desk.
 
>outside
Faraji steps out of the office into the parking lot.
 
Agent Faraji is at the south end of the strip mall parking lot. From here one can see just how humble BOSH's state has become: the office is to the west, between a pawn shop (to the southwest) and a run-down laundromat (to the northwest) and across from an automatic car wash (to the east). To the south is a swampy area separating the lot from the interstate. The parking lot continues north.
 
Their bright red Hyundai Accent is parked nearby.
 
>sw
(first opening the pawn shop door)
"Cha-ching!" rings the electronic chime as Faraji steps into the store.
 
Agent Faraji is in Dave's pawn shop. This is more the seedy, gloomy stereotype of a pawn shop than the glitzy, sanitized version of TV reality shows. The blinds in the windows are closed to only allow the barest slant of sunlight in, leaving the sickly fluorescent lights to illuminate the room. There is the distinct smell of cigar smoke. The glass counter is filled with a large collection of possibly valuable items. Behind it is an impressive array of firearms.
 
The exit is northeast.
 
A man, presumably Dave, stands behind the main counter eyeing Faraji.
 
Faraji gives the pawn shop owner a curt nod.
 
"Hey," Dave says.
 
The pawn shop door closes.
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver.
 
>ask dave for screwdriver
They lean on the counter and ask, "Do you happen to have a screwdriver I could borrow for a few minutes? I'm from the Bureau office next door."
 
The man shakes his head and says, "Sorry. I had one, but the guy who runs the laundromat borrowed it and didn't bring it back."
 
Faraji can ask about the laundromat owner.
 
>ask dave about laundromat owner
They say, "How do you suppose I might get in touch with this man who runs the laundromat? I really could use a screwdriver."
 
"Well, that's a tricky one. Laundromat's been closed for almost two weeks now, since the owner just split for some reason he didn't bother to share. Not likely to get ahold of him. If you're not averse to a little trespassing, though, see if you come across a watch. Another thing he borrowed."
 
The sound of a car door slamming outside catches Faraji's attention.
 
Faraji can ask about the watch.
 
>ask dave about watch
They ask, "What's so special about this watch?"
 
"It's a family heirloom. I'd like to get it back."
 
>outside
Once again -- "Cha-ching!" -- as Faraji leaves the store.

Faraji trudges to the other end of the parking lot. It's much like where they left.
 
Agent Faraji is at the north end of the strip mall parking lot. This end is no more auspicious than the other. A convenience store lies to the east. To the west is a military recruitment center. North of here the parking lot exits onto a busy road. There is a rusty sign by the road naming the shopping center: Park Place. South is BOSH headquarters, among other things.
 
>e
Faraji is greeted by a blast of music as they enter the store.
 
Agent Faraji is in the Li'l Nectarine Convenience Store. Li'l Nectarine offers great service and low prices, or so they say. This one's cluttered aisles and sparse shelves could make one wonder if that's true. Behind the counter is the typical array of cigarettes and lottery tickets. Under the counter is a glass case containing various useful items.
 
The clerk, a scruffy man in his mid-twenties, is leaning against the counter, looking bored.
 
As you enter the store, you catch a glimpse of a red screwdriver in the glass case under the counter.
 
"Good morning," Faraji says.
 
"Yeah," replies the clerk.
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver.
 
>ask clerk about screwdriver
They ask, "Would you happen to have a screwdriver I could borrow?"
 
"Got one to buy, not one to borrow."
 
>buy screwdriver
(with the store clerk)
The store clerk is not legal currency.
 
>ask clerk about screwdriver price
That doesn't seem to be a topic of conversation at the moment.

Faraji exits the store into the relative quiet of the nearby traffic.

A store sales counter functions as the BOSH front desk, behind which are located shelves of office supplies and a row of drawers. There are also a couch and coffee table here creating a makeshift seating area. An old department store clothing rack serves as a coat rack. Bureau photos on the walls picture the Bureau in better days. A stack of used and empty cardboard boxes sits in one corner.

>w
Faraji takes a deep breath and enters the office of the Chief of BOSH.
 
Agent Faraji is in the BOSH chief's office. Looks like the Chief has already moved in.
 
Chief Klimp's office is full of character. Shelves strewn with knick-knacks abut a cozy armchair and a mahogany side table supporting a large globe. A bookcase on the north wall is packed with books on paranormal happenings. Garish prints adorn the remaining wall space.  Under one of these is a modernistic desk of glass and chrome, behind which is a very nice black leather swivel chair. There is a computer on the desk, and to its side is an antique wooden file cabinet. To tell the truth, it's all a bit much, but it matches Klimp's personality perfectly. There is an exit to the east.
 
Chief Klimp sits behind the desk, his feet up.
 
Chief Klimp barks, "What's with that ringing? Someone answer it!"
 
He turns to Faraji and grins. "Larch! Good to see you. What do you think of the new digs? I know, I know, it's a lousy office, I could barely fit all my stuff in here."
 
Faraji starts to answer, but Klimp interrupts. "Say, you ever read Petrus Catadesmicus? Here, take his book. Liber Animarum. Read it. Throw it away. I don't care."
 
A phone is ringing somewhere to the east.
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver.

Huffton Klimp, or simply "The Chief", who by his name and title should rightly be big and gruff, is a wiry guy with a thinning shock of red hair on top. Once the youngest and most devoted recruit in the Bureau, the years and his promotion to Bureau Head have not dulled his enthusiasm and idealism. He's a true believer in the existence of aliens, and he's convinced that the Bureau is the only thing standing between humanity and the alien menace. He's also convinced that the Bureau is the only thing standing between him and a comfortable retirement. He's a good guy, but he's a bit of a pain.

From here one can see just how humble BOSH's state has become: the office is to the west, between a pawn shop (to the southwest) and a run-down laundromat (to the northwest) and across from an automatic car wash (to the east). To the south is a swampy area separating the lot from the interstate. The parking lot continues north.
 
Klimp's Porsche takes up two spots.
 
Their bright red Hyundai Accent is parked nearby.
 
The laundromat front door closes.

(first opening the laundromat front door)
Agent Faraji is in the laundromat. The deserted laundromat is lit by a flickering fluorescent light. The machines are old and worn, but still seemingly functional. An opening leads west to the back room, and the exit is to the southeast.
 
Also here is a handtruck.
 
The laundromat front door closes.
 
>x handtruck
It's a handtruck, two wheels and a platform, used for moving heavy things.
 
>move out of order machine with handtruck
There's nothing like that nearby.
 
>move machine with handtruck
That isn't very helpful.
 
>w
Faraji steps back into the shadow of the back room.
 
Agent Faraji is in the laundromat back room. A desk sits in the corner covered with papers. An opening leads east to the laundromat proper, while a steep set of stairs leads down. The back door is to the south.
 
>move desk
Faraji moves it a little bit, but it doesn't reveal any secrets.

>take handtruck
The handtruck is a bit unwieldy to carry. Better push it instead.
 
>push handtruck
Try pushing it in a direction: PUSH HANDTRUCK WEST, for example.
 
>push handtruck west
Faraji pushes the handtruck along with them.

Faraji carefully navigates the narrow stairs to the basement.
 
Agent Faraji is in the laundromat basement. A few boxes of supplies sit here and there in the otherwise empty space. Stairs lead up, while a doorway leads south.
 
>x boxes
The boxes are completely uninteresting. Unless you really like detergent.
 
>wear glasses
Faraji tries to put on the astral lenses, but the fluorescent light is blinding. They take them off again.
 
>turn off light
There's nothing like that nearby.
 
>s
Faraji forges onward, deeper into the bowels of the laundromat.
 
Agent Faraji is in the back basement. The basement ends here. There is a switch on the wall, currently on. A doorway leads north.
 
A strange blue-white glow emanates from behind some stacks of large crates.

The crates are stacked high and deep, making it difficult to see what's behind them.

The glow is blue-white and flickering.
 
>flip switch
Faraji switches the light switch off.
 
It is now pitch dark in here!
 
They can still see a little bit, though, thanks to the glow-in-the-dark light switch on the wall. There is also a strange blue-white glow emanating from behind some large dark objects.

Faraji puts on the pair of astral lenses.

A stark white hyperspatial tunnel leads in the direction of "forth".
 
>forth
Faraji steps into the astral tunnel.
 
Agent Faraji is in the astral tunnel. It is featureless white, or what passes for white here. It leads "back" at one end and "forthnorth" at the other.
 
>forthnorth
Faraji exits the astral tunnel into the front room of the laundromat.
 
Agent Faraji is in the laundromat. The deserted laundromat is lit dimly by the light filtering in from outside. The machines are old and worn, but still seemingly functional. An opening leads west to the back room, and the exit is to the southeast.

There is a flash of light and Faraji finds themself somewhere else...
 
Agent Faraji is on a featureless hyperplane. They rub their eyes as they try to take in their surroundings. In addition to the usual directions of north and south and east and west, two new directions exist here: back and forth. As a result, the "surface" they're standing on is in fact a three-dimensional hyperplane. Up and down still exist, and there is gravity, apparently.
 
As far as one can see, the hyperplane extends infinitely in all six directions.
 
In the middle distance is some kind of structure, roughly to the forthnorth.
 
Wearing the astral lenses is overwhelming here, so Faraji takes them off.
 
>forthnorth
Faraji trudges across the trackless hyperplane, and ends up somewhere else, yet exactly the same.
 
Faraji treks across the blank landscape, seemingly going nowhere.

There is an Ethereal Pillar here. A message carved into the pillar says "All you need is love : love : love -Doris"
 
Under that is a line of five ethereal symbols: o p q d b

Agent Faraji is on a featureless hyperplane. In addition to the usual directions of north and south and east and west, two new directions exist here: back and forth. As a result, the "surface" they're standing on is in fact a three-dimensional hyperplane. Up and down still exist, and there is gravity, apparently.
 
As far as one can see, the hyperplane extends infinitely in all six directions.

Agent Faraji is on a featureless hyperplane. In addition to the usual directions of north and south and east and west, two new directions exist here: back and forth. As a result, the "surface" they're standing on is in fact a three-dimensional hyperplane. Up and down still exist, and there is gravity, apparently.
 
As far as one can see, the hyperplane extends infinitely in all six directions.

Agent Faraji is on a featureless hyperplane. In addition to the usual directions of north and south and east and west, two new directions exist here: back and forth. As a result, the "surface" they're standing on is in fact a three-dimensional hyperplane. Up and down still exist, and there is gravity, apparently.
 
As far as one can see, the hyperplane extends infinitely in all six directions.

Faraji descends the stairs and discovers... an office?
 
Agent Faraji is at field office reception. It is a small, white (like everything else) room with a desk against one wall. An office directory is on the wall. A hallway leads west and a stairway goes up to the infinite hyperplane.
 
A young woman is sitting at the desk. Apparently doing nothing, she looks up from her desk and smiles at Faraji. "Hello, I'm Maggie," she says. "Welcome to the BOSH Hyperspace Field Office, Agent Faraji. Did you have a nice time getting here? I hope so. I helped design the lobby." She resumes staring at the opposite wall.
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver or ask how to get home.
 
>ask maggie about screwdriver
Faraji asks, "Would you happen to have a screwdriver I could borrow?"
 
"Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have a screwdriver. Do you?"
 
Faraji can ask how to get home.
 
>ask maggie how to get home
Faraji asks, "How can I get home from here?"
 
Maggie snaps out of her reverie. "Oh, you're ready to go? I'll activate the auxiliary portal for you" She types rapidly on her control panel, then says "It's all ready -- go west down the hallway and turn to the back into Portal Room 2."
 
>x maggie
Maggie seems a little vacant. She's staring at nothing in particular.

Agent Faraji is at field office reception. It is a small, white (like everything else) room with a desk against one wall. An office directory is on the wall. A hallway leads west and a stairway goes up to the infinite hyperplane.

The directory reads:

Faraji leaves Maggie's relentless stare behind.
 
Agent Faraji is in the field office hallway. The hallway is white and gleaming. Doorways lead north to Minerva's office, south to Christy's office, east to the front office, west to Doris's office, forth to the portal to the past, and back to the auxiliary portal.

Faraji enters an open office door.
 
Agent Faraji is in Minerva's office. The office is white and gleaming. A mahogany desk is in the middle of the room. A coffee maker sits on the desk. The way out is to the south.
 
Minerva, a field agent, is sitting at her desk, typing away on her computer. She is dressed very professionally in a white blouse and black slacks.
 
Faraji can ask for a cup of coffee or ask for a screwdriver.

Faraji enters an open office door.
 
Agent Faraji is in Christy's office. Christy has taken the initiative to paint their office a bright, cheerful orange. A large desk is in the middle of the room.
 
Christy, the field office researcher, is sitting at the desk, drawing in a sketchbook.
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver.
 
>ask christy about drawing
"What's in your sketchbook?"
 
"Drawings. Of things. I'm not going to show you."
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver.

Faraji enters the domain of the chief of the field office.
 
Agent Faraji is in the field office chief's office. Doris's office is a riot of color -- he's covered the white walls with posters, maps, and charts. A large desk is in the middle of the room, behind which sits Doris. The exit is east.
 
Doris is sitting cross-legged in a chair, tapping his foot lazily on the desk.
 
"Ah, Larch," Doris exclaims, standing up to shake their hand. "I've been waiting for you to pay us a visit. Did you bring the thumb drive?"
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver, ask who he is, ask where we are, ask how to get home, or show him the thumb drive.
 
>show doris the thumb drive
Faraji answers, "Yes, I have it."
 
"Fantastic! Hand it here."
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver, ask who he is, ask where we are, ask how to get home, or hand over the thumb drive.
 
>give thumb drive to doris
Faraji gives the thumb drive to Doris.
 
"Great, great." He peruses the drive. "We lost one of our New York agents -- a guy named Daniels -- to a slingshot effect that threw him far back in time. We're always monitoring for artifacts that are out of place or anachronistic to lead us to lost agents.
 
He continues, "The scratch marks here say, 'They found me out and sent me back. 14th century. Old Onondaga holy place. Savra is going to move on the Dragon.'"
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver, ask who he is, ask where we are, ask how to get home, ask about Savra, ask about the Dragon, or ask about time travel.
 
>ask about dragon
Faraji raises an eyebrow. "Who is this 'Dragon'?"
 
Doris brings his finger to his lips. "Classified. Need to know only. But we should be talking about the mission instead."
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver, ask who he is, ask where we are, ask how to get home, ask about Savra, ask about the mission, or ask about time travel.

Faraji can ask for a screwdriver, ask who he is, ask where we are, ask how to get home, ask about Savra, ask about the mission, or ask about time travel.
 
>ask about savra
"Senator Savra? What does he have to with anything?" Faraji asks.
 
Doris says, "Tell me, Agent. Do you believe in aliens? That alien species have visited Earth?"
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver, ask who he is, ask where we are, ask how to get home, tell Doris they don't believe in alien visitation, tell Doris they do believe in alien visitation, ask about the mission, or ask about time travel.
 
>tell doris they don't believe in alien visitation
"No. The Chief might, but I prefer hard evidence," says Faraji.
 
Doris nods. "Good, because they haven't. The whole idea is ridiculous. Senator Savra is not an alien." He looks at Faraji significantly.
 
They look at him unbelievingly. "What are you talking about?"
 
Doris shakes his head. "I thought you would know. He's a member of a race of Earth beings more ancient than our own. Agent Faraji, Senator Savra is a lizard person."
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver, ask who he is, ask where we are, ask how to get home, ask what is a lizard person, ask about the mission, or ask about time travel.
 
>ask about lizard people
That doesn't seem to be a topic of conversation at the moment.
 
Doris twiddles his thumbs. "Have you ever been to Budapest? I haven't either. I hear it's full of Hungarians."
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver, ask who he is, ask where we are, ask how to get home, ask what is a lizard person, ask about the mission, or ask about time travel.
 
>ask what is a lizard person
Faraji looks incredulous. "And just what is a lizard person?"
 
"Just what it sounds like. It's a bipedal, intelligent reptilian creature. Strange people. Deathly allergic to rutabagas."
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver, ask who he is, ask where we are, ask how to get home, tell Doris Savra's not reptilian, ask about the mission, or ask about time travel.
 
>ask about time travel
Disbelievingly, Faraji asks, "Time travel? For real?"
 
"Yes, yes," Doris responds. "Don't get too worked up over it. It gets old fast. But now we need to talk about the mission."
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver, ask who he is, ask where we are, ask how to get home, tell Doris Savra's not reptilian, or ask about the mission.
 
>ask about mission
Faraji says, "What's the mission?"
 
Doris leans back in his chair. "I believe we still have a chance to retrieve our lost agent -- the one that left the thumb drive. He says he was at an Onondaga holy place in the 14th century. Now we need to find out where that is. Fortunately, there's a book that can help. Unfortunately, I don't have it. Fortunately, you're here to go find it. Unfortunately, the name's gotten a bit jumbled in my head. I think it was something like New Bikers of Troy. Or something. I'm bad with things like titles and letters and keeping things the right way 'round. But you'll find it. I know you will. Come back here when you have."
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver, ask who he is, ask where we are, ask how to get home, or tell Doris Savra's not reptilian.
 
>tribes of new york

Faraji couldn't be happier to get away from Doris's incessant chatter.
 
Agent Faraji is in the field office hallway. The hallway is white and gleaming. Doorways lead north to Minerva's office, south to Christy's office, east to the front office, west to Doris's office, forth to the portal to the past, and back to the auxiliary portal.
 
>forth
Faraji takes a strange turn into a room labeled "Portal Room 1".
 
Agent Faraji is in Portal Room 1. The room is full of humming, glowing machinery, all of it attached to a large, arch-shaped portal in the middle of the room. The exit is back.
 
The portal, made of the same astral stuff this whole dimension is made of, looms over the rest of the room. The portal is dark and inactive. On the right post is a control panel. A label on the top of the arch reads "Portal to the Past."
 
>x control panel
A control panel is attached to the portal. It has an LED display and a keypad. The display is dark. A large red button underneath says "RESET".

After a few seconds, someone inserts a key in the lock and opens the door. It's Faraji's colleague Moira Zin. "How'd you get in there, Larch?"
 
You exit the closet.
 
Agent Faraji is in Moira's office. It is, like Moira herself, neat and orderly. She's clearly made the most of the meager funds she had for furnishing her office. Behind a modest yet functional desk is a modest yet functional office chair. Her bookshelves are filled with titles relating to investigative techniques, law, and skepticism. In the east wall is a closet door. The exit is to the south.

Agent Faraji is in the hallway. Their office is to the south, Klimp's is to the west, and Moira's is to the north. The front office is east. All of the doors are open.
 
A phone is ringing to the south, in Faraji's office.
 
>e
Agent Faraji is in the front office. It's really a small storefront done up to resemble an office. A store sales counter functions as the BOSH front desk, behind which are located shelves of office supplies and a row of drawers. There are also a couch and coffee table here creating a makeshift seating area. An old department store clothing rack serves as a coat rack. Bureau photos on the walls picture the Bureau in better days. A stack of used and empty cardboard boxes sits in one corner.
 
The exit is to the east, while the office continues via a hallway to the west.
 
The Bureau's latest office manager, Margaret is bustling around with unrestrained enthusiasm.
 
Also here is Faraji's computer.
 
A phone is ringing somewhere to the west.

Agent Faraji is at the south end of the strip mall parking lot. From here one can see just how humble BOSH's state has become: the office is to the west, between a pawn shop (to the southwest) and a run-down laundromat (to the northwest) and across from an automatic car wash (to the east). To the south is a swampy area separating the lot from the interstate. The parking lot continues north.
 
Klimp's Porsche takes up two spots.
 
Their bright red Hyundai Accent is parked nearby.

Agent Faraji is in the laundromat. The deserted laundromat is lit dimly by the light filtering in from outside. The machines are old and worn, but still seemingly functional. An opening leads west to the back room, and the exit is to the southeast.
 
The laundromat front door closes.
 
>x book
Which do you mean, Tribes of New York or Liber Animarum?
 
>x tribes of new york
A look at the various Native American tribes of New York state, from the pre-Columbian era to the present day. The chapter on the Onondaga tribe reads:
 
The Onondaga tribe is one of the original five tribes of the Iroquois Confederacy. They are known for their longhouses, which can be up to 200 feet long, and for their traditional government, which is based on a system of clans. The Onondaga are also known for their traditional arts and crafts, such as beadwork, pottery, and basketry. There is no truth to the rumors that the ancient Onondaga consorted with lizard people.
 
>x liber animarum
This is a cryptic tome written by someone named Petrus Catadesmicus:
 
"...what these near-sighted Fools took as Rituals of Cursing are in truth Rituals of Binding, the true Congelation of the Soul, the Chaining of the immaterial Soul to a material Anchor, by piercing with a Spike the written true Name of the subject, thus transfixing the Soul and holding it fast, should the Environment be appropriately Consecrated, and appropriately Deep within the Earth..."

There is a glow-in-the-dark light switch on the wall here, currently off.
 
A washing machine is revealed in the darkness by the glow emanating from its drum. The door is open.
 
>enter washing machine
(the broken washing machine)
There is a flash of light and Faraji finds themself somewhere else...
 
Agent Faraji is at the top of a descending stair. It is made of the same stark white, questionably real stuff as the ground, the pillar, and the mystic compass. Faraji can't see past the first turn of the stairs, unfortunately.
 
On the readout of the mystic compass floats a set of ethereal symbols: o : o : o
 
In the middle distance is some kind of structure, roughly to the forthnorth.
 
>down
Agent Faraji is at field office reception. It is a small, white (like everything else) room with a desk against one wall. An office directory is on the wall. A hallway leads west and a stairway goes up to the infinite hyperplane.
 
Maggie is sitting at the desk, doing nothing Faraji can discern.
 
Maggie twirls a lock of hair around her finger. "A lot of people travel in time and don't even know it. They think they're just going to the store or to work. But they're not. They're going to the past or the future."

Agent Faraji is in the field office hallway. The hallway is white and gleaming. Doorways lead north to Minerva's office, south to Christy's office, east to the front office, west to Doris's office, forth to the portal to the past, and back to the auxiliary portal.

Agent Faraji is in the field office chief's office. Doris's office is a riot of color -- he's covered the white walls with posters, maps, and charts. A large desk is in the middle of the room, behind which sits Doris. The exit is east.
 
Doris is sitting cross-legged in a chair, tapping his foot lazily on the desk.
 
Faraji can ask for a screwdriver, ask who he is, ask where we are, ask how to get home, or tell Doris Savra's not reptilian.
 
>show tribes of new york to doris
"Ah, Agent Faraji, you've found it! I knew you would. Now we can find out where Daniels is. Actually, Christy can help you with that. Go see her and give her this." He scribbles a note and hands it to you with the book. "She'll know what to do."

Christy reads the note and says, "Oh, I see. I'll get right on it. And give me the book too, thanks. So, this might take me a while -- actually, could you get me a cup of coffee?"

Christy suddenly hoots behind Faraji. "Stop! I have it. Sorry it took so long. Here, take this note to Doris." They scribble something on a piece of paper and hand it to Faraji. Christy thinks for a moment and says "Oh yes, take the book too." They hand Faraji Tribes of New York.

He reads the note and grins. "I knew Christy could figure it out. Enigma Lake. Makes sense. There is a prominent intersection of leylines in the middle of the lake. Before you say it, yes it's a problem, or would be, if that intersection had always been underwater. But Enigma Lake is an artificial reservoir. The town of Enigma Lake was flooded when the reservoir was created, and that's where the intersection is!" Doris concludes with a look of satisfaction.
 
"So..." Faraji says.
 
"So. I'm sending you back to 1954, right before the flooding of Enigma Lake, and you'll find whatever Daniels left for us to find. Maybe we can stage a rescue. Why 1954? I'd rather not risk a longer temporal jaunt before we know what we're dealing with."

It's a large key, probably for a door.
 
>take key

>take backpack
Taken.
 
>look
Agent Faraji is in the Enigma Lake town hall. The building has been cleared of furniture and other items ahead of the imminent flooding. A permanent fixture, the information desk sits near the front entrance (to the south). Taped to it is what looks to be a work schedule. There is also a back entrance onto the park to the north.
 
>back
That direction only exists in hyperspace.
 
>n
Faraji pushes through the back door into the cool night.
 
The drizzle picks up a bit, and the air grows colder.
 
Agent Faraji is in Enigma Park. It's probably beautiful during the day, but tonight the deep shadows among the trees seem ominous. Faraji is watchful and tense as they explore the park.
 
The central focus of the park is a large obelisk inscribed with the names of the town's citizens lost in the Great War. Firs and maples line the paths. The town hall is to the south, and other exits are to the north, west, and east. Other egress is blocked by iron fences.
 
>x obelisk
Its faux Egyptian design is incongruous adjacent to the adamantly traditional town hall. Faraji can just make out a small crystal adornment rising from the top.
 
>x crystal
From what Faraji can make out, it's a clear crystal held aloft by some kind of metal fitting.
 
>w
Faraji leaves the park.
 
Agent Faraji is walking on Solvay Road leading out of town. Solvay Road bends here, leading northwest out of town and south back into town. East is the park, and to the west is Horton House. One can walk down to the lake shore to the north.
 
The sad drizzle soaks them.

Faraji heads south toward the town center.
 
Agent Faraji is walking on Solvay Road 100 block. Solvay heads north and south. To the west is the fire station, while to the east is the side of the town hall.

The garage door is too large and heavy to open unaided.
 
To the north, some shadowy figures come into view from the northwest, walking on the road leading out of town.
 
The drizzle falls steadily, chilling the air.

Faraji leaves the park for a walk along the lake shore.
 
Agent Faraji is on the lake shore north of the park. The rain falls steadily on the lake, creating ripples on the surface. The park is to the south, while the lake stretches off to the north, and the shore goes west. A workshed is to the southeast. A road can be seen to the east.

Agent Faraji is walking on Solvay Road by the lake. Solvay Road runs by the lake shore here. It continues out of town to the northwest, while to the southeast it leads back into town. A dirty shack stands opposite the lake to the west. A path along the shore leads to the east.
 
Three humanoid figures are here, each with a long, scaly tail and a head that looks like a lizard's. They are dressed in smart grey suits. They are hissing loudly in what seems to be intelligent communication. One is carrying some kind of shiny metal object.
 
They notice you and stop talking. One of them steps forward and says in a guttural hiss, "No one will be allowed to interfere with our plans. Begone!"
 
>ask reptilians for help
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. I might just not recognize the words you're using.
 
>x shiny metal object
You can't see much while the lizard person is holding it.
 
The lizard people hiss, creating a strange cloud of thick vapor. Faraji feels light-headed and disoriented. When the vapor clears, they are somewhere else...
 
Agent Faraji is on the corner of Main and Solvay. Main Street runs east from here, while Solvay Road heads north. South of here, Henry's Hot Skillet promises all of the comforts of the mid-twentieth-century diner. A bookstore named The Reading Room lies to the west, while Fresnel's Music is southwest.
 
>w
Faraji, hankering for a good book, heads into the bookstore.
 
Agent Faraji is in the Reading Room. The reading room is a small, cozy space, with a number of comfortable chairs and a few tables. A sales counter is at the back of the room. Bookshelves lead back into the depths of the store. A narrow staircase leads down and the front door is east.
 
A brown book titled Astral Secrets lies on the sales counter.
 
Wearing the astral lenses in fluorescent light is blinding. They quickly remove the glasses.
 
>read astral secrets
A book with a plain brown cover, titled "Astral Secrets". The author is listed as Jeremiah Horton.
 
Flipping through the book, Faraji finds a dog-eared page. The page shows a diagram of a small, metallic, cylindrical object, which is labeled "astral resonator". The text describes the resonator as a device for opening a portal through the astral plane. It goes on to describe the components of the device: a source of resonance, a source of light, and an "astral lens", which it declines to describe further. The text also mentions that the resonator is powered by a source of electricity.

Faraji heads down the stairs into the basement.
 
Agent Faraji is in the Bookstore Basement. The basement is dark and musty, with a number of shelves and boxes of books. The walls are made of old, crumbling brick. There is a faint breeze. A narrow staircase leads up.
 
An extension cord lies on the floor.
 
A book with a green cover titled The Ecology of Root Vegetables lies on the floor here.
 
>read ecology of root vegetables
A book with a green cover, titled "The Ecology of Root Vegetables". The author is listed as Dr. A. Zilman. The book is a comprehensive study of root vegetables. There is a whole chapter on the rutabaga, including its history, cultivation, and uses in various cultures. One passage mentions its potential use as a weapon against "evil earth demons".

Faraji puts on the pair of astral lenses.
 
Agent Faraji is in the church basement. The basement is a shock to behold after the simple church above. It's a large, open space, with walls painted with scenes of humans and lizard people in battle, with aliens and platypuses looking on in horror. There is an ornate altar at the far end of the room. The exit is up.
 
It looks like the fluorescent tubes in the ceiling are burned out.
 
>x altar
The altar is a strange, ornate thing, more like a pagan idol than a Utilitarian altar.
 
On the basement altar is The Book of Utilitarianism.
 
>read book of utilitarianism
Looking at the Book of Utilitarianism through the astral lenses is unbearable. The text is a jumble of letters and colors, and the words seem to twist and writhe on the page.

Three humanoid figures are here, each with a long, scaly tail and a head that looks like a lizard's. They are dressed in smart grey suits. They are hissing loudly in what seems to be intelligent communication. One is carrying some kind of shiny metal object.
 
They notice you and stop talking. One of them steps forward and says in a guttural hiss, "Surface vermin! You will not stop us!"
