Can we just... look around to see where we are?

 

All you have is this terminal and the commands that are enabled. It's almost as though there's a command list you can look at...

Anyway way to track the origin of the transmission?

 

You see two commands that might help - Find Location and Find Coordinates.

 

>Find Location<

 

> Find Location <

Invalid syntax:
[ Find Location {CoordX, CoordY, CoordZ} ]
[ Find Location {CoordX, CoordY, CoordZ, CoordT} ] - LOCKED​

 

Follow with Find Coordinates just in case

 

Spill coffee on the system

 

Press the red button twice, press the command 312213 and destroy the world

 

While you do that, I'll attempt to send back a message.

Cute

 

> Find Coordinates <

Invalid syntax:
[ Find Coordinates {Location Name} ]
[ Find Coordinates {Location Name, CoordT} ]
​

You... spill coffee on the terminal. It seems to malfunction, and lock the Energy Production Systems from further use, until you enter the correct passcode.​

You press the red button once, nothing happens.
You press it a second time, nothing happens.
As soon as you press the number 2, the terminal explodes and kills you all.
As everything goes black, you see some floating text that says "Game Over: Loading Previous Save."
Suddenly everything reverses to before you pressed the button.
​

You try looking at the send message command, which has the options to send a message to certain coordinates or just out to whoever receives it. It appears there's no way to directly trace the message yet, not until you unlock some more features.​

 

Access Energy Usage with the password: "Energy Use"

 

Just gonna sit in the corner with me iPad while checking a thread called "Into The Unknown"
