Eclipse
By Gianluca Girelli
For Z-code interpreters
Solution by Garry Francis
----------------------------------------
This is a minimal solution. You'll need to EXAMINE lots of things for this solution to make
sense. Some optional (but significant) commands are shown in parentheses. These can be omitted once
you know what to do.
X ME (you are citizen 7768 of class NDN, take note of this, as you'll need it)
(I) (you're empty handed)
(X PICTURE) (it's a picture of you, your father and Markus taken 15 years ago)
(X FATHER) (you should try talking to him)
(S) (you should talk to your father first)
TALK TO FATHER (eclipse is about to start)
(ASK FATHER ABOUT ESCAPE, MARKUS, PICTURE, POD, SPACESHIP) (or synonyms)
S
(S) (you might want to talk to your father one more time)
TALK TO FATHER (he gives you some important info about the spaceship)
S
(TALK TO FATHER) (enough talking, time to take off)
ENTER SPACESHIP (father is killed by troopers as you take off, spaceship is torn apart as you exit
wormhole, you escape in escape pod)
(EXIT POD) (you can't, the pod is hermetically sealed)
(I) (you're carrying a remote control)
(X REMOTE CONTROL) (it has a single button)
PRESS BUTTON (canopy is jettisoned)
EXIT POD

S
(X LOCKER) (it has a keypad)
(TYPE 7768 on keypad) (that code has expired)
TYPE NDN ON KEYPAD (locker pops open, keypad is zapped)
(X LOCKER) (it contains pressure suit, pressure helmet and RIM)
GET SUIT
WEAR IT
GET HELMET
WEAR IT (can also get radiation intensity meter (RIM), but don't really need it)
N

W
X COCKPIT (it's ruined, but it might be worth searching it)
SEARCH COCKPIT (you find your photon rifle)
GET RIFLE
(X IT) (it's not loaded)
S
(X REMAINS) (it's now a heap of junk)
(X JUNK) (it might be worth searching it)
SEARCH JUNK (you find a solium rod and a metal tube)
GET ALL (solium rod and a metal pole taken)
(X POLE) (you don't know what it's for)
(X ROD) (it powers a photon rifle)
LOAD RIFLE WITH ROD
(X RIFLE) (it's now fully charged)

(X HOLE) (it's big enough for you to enter)
ENTER HOLE
(X CRYSTALS) (they are xelon, used as propulsion for warp engines)
(GET THEM) (they're heavier than they look)
W
SHOOT ALIENS WITH RIFLE
GET EXOSKELETON (you slip into it and secure it to your suit)
(X IT) (it boosts your physical strength)
E
GET CRYSTALS (you can now take them thanks to the exoskeleton)

(X MAN) (it's Markus, you father's best friend, who was lost 15 years ago)
TALK TO MARKUS
(ASK MARKUS ABOUT ALCHEMISTS, ALIENS, ATMOSPHERE, BRIDGE, COLONY/SETTLERS, EARTH, ECLIPSE,
EXPERIMENTS, FATHER, FHENOR/DARKSCEPTER, FUEL, HIMSELF, ISLAND, MACHINE, ME, MONSTER, PLANET,
PREDATORS, SOLIUM, TASKS, THALOS) (or synonyms)
(ASK MARKUS ABOUT ESCAPE) (he needs xelon crystals)
(SHOW XELON TO MARKUS) (his eyes widen in awe)
(GIVE XELON TO MARKUS) (ask him about his spaceship first)
ASK MARKUS ABOUT SPACESHIP (he tells you about it and heads south)
S
GIVE XELON TO MARKUS
***THE END***
