The Celina Solution — 26 of 40

Section 4 Alien Ruins

Alien Ruins is northwest of Fungal Forest. "At some point in the distant past, the decrepit buildings here may have once been a city. Now, they are all that remains of a dead civilization. You can go southeast."

After going to Alien Ruins:

if the player is in Alien Ruins for the first time and Celina is neutral:

say "'These buildings are thousands of years old. They were made by an ancient civilization, long since dead,' Celina notes. ";

if the player is in Alien Ruins for the first time and Celina is angry:

say "Celina says, 'I want to know what wiped these aliens out so I could use it on you.'";

if the player is in Alien Ruins for the first time and Celina is upset:

say "Celina cries, 'It's so depressing to see all these empty buildings. Is that all we are? Just ruins?' ";

continue the action.

Instead of going north in Alien Ruins:

say "You don't want to get lost in there."

Instead of taking a personality module in Alien Ruins:

if the insectoid is in Alien Ruins:

say "The insectoid buzzes at you nastily, blocking you from the module.";

otherwise:

continue the action.

Instead of CAIN attacking the Insectoid:

say "Cain fires its plasma cannon at the alien creature, causing it to flee. It chases the alien deeper into the ruins.";

remove the Insectoid from play;

move Cain to Deeper in the Ruins;

now Cain is not shadowing the player;

rule succeeds.

Buildings are scenery in Alien Ruins. The description of buildings is "These structures look like they are made out of some kind of resin or secretion. Inside of one building you spot steps leadings down..." Understand "building" as buildings.

The alien nest is a container in alien ruins. "You see a small alien nest on top of a low wall." The description of alien nest is "Made from bits of fungus, this is where the alien creature sleeps." The sadness module is in the nest.

Insectoid is a person in Alien Ruins. "The hostile dog sized insectoid alien buzzes around its nest. It doesn't look too happy to see you."

Understand "dog/alien/insect" as the insectoid. The description of the insectoid is "A nasty creature that hovers off the ground on incredibly fast moving wings."

Deeper in the Ruins is north of Alien Ruins.
