DOOMSDAY
by Graham Burtenshaw
(C) 1991 Relion Software

This adventure is set in the not too distant future, where the human society is corrupt. Your
(self-destructive) task is to speed up the course of destiny. There are seven major actions which
you must carry out:
1) Contaminate the country's vital blood supply
2) Increase the rat population by releasing a breeding pair into the sewers
3) Poison the country by incorporating the deadly Daricken Salts into the nation's food
4) Replace a relatively harmless chemical weapon with a substance which is able to kill millions
5) Kill the Minister of Ministers in order to throw the country into chaos with an only 9 year old
successor
6) Destroy vital housing documents causing thousands to go homeless
7) Send the Minister's letter to the King of Asia which will use his nuclear bombs to finally
wipe out the    
   human race

Notes:
- the transporter to WochWays leaves at 13:00, not at 13:30 as indicated on the transportation
coupon.
- the "" marks in some commands are essential!
- if you have to wait, use the R command (for redescribe), because it enables better timing (2
minutes a move); 
  the WAIT command takes 1 hour and the SLEEP command 4 hours
- at 19:00 on the first day the message 'You're getting very hungry...' will appear -
then EAT APPLE
- there are some random elements, so you have to be careful with the use of the R command (see the
remarks in 
  the solution) 
- there's a special random element concerning the behaviour of Human Jonson, who will appear at
the beginning  
  of the game in the Vivisection Centre area and keep staying there; his movement between the
locations is 
  incalculable, hence it's impossible to give a step-by-step solution in this part
- the Vivisection Centre consists of the following rooms:

         The 'laboratory'  __________  The Pharmacy
                |                            |
                |                            |
    The main dissection room ______ The passage of the ________   Half way along        
        (you start here)            Vivisection Centre           the main passage
                |                            |                           |
                |                            |                           |
    The stacks of cages con- ______ The animals' area _________  Section of the store
    tinue up to the far wall                                    room with human babies
