The Hatch is a room. "A ladder leads up to the locked hatch. Opening the hatch wouldn’t be a good idea. Who knows what creatures lay in the deep depths of the oceans? The room feels suffocating and damp. You should get out before you acquire claustrophobia. [if unvisited] You've just got onto the Sottomarin, an aquatic vehicle meant to explore the lost planet of Atlantis. To beat the game you'll have to complete all the tasks and examine the fixed objects. The Airlock is to the South, but you will have to open the gate first.[otherwise] The gate is still open. You would try to fix the problem, but you aren't getting paid enough for that. The Airlock is to the South."

The identity card is in The Hatch. "A laminated, white, plastic card is on the floor in contrast to the black, dank floor. You must have dropped yours on the way down the ladder."

The ladder is fixed in place in The Hatch. 
The description of the ladder is "An iron ladder made to stand the test of time. The rust on it is proof that it's a fraud. Stainless steel would have been a better material. It leads up to the very top of The Hatch, which isn't very high in the first place."

The description of the identity card is "A card with a picture of you, your personal identity, your mother's maiden name, and the three numbers on the back of your credit card."

The gate is a closed, locked door. The gate is north of the Airlock and south of the Hatch. The description of the door is "An automatic, waterproof, fireproof, earthproof, and airproof door that's quite sturdy. Unfortunately, 3/4 of the functions are unneeded. Why did we spend 200,000 dollars for this door anyway? You'll need to scan a card in order to open it, first."

The Identity Card unlocks the gate.

The Airlock is a room. "A cramped room that can quickly dispose of any kind of water. It also has an alternate exit that activates when you need to escape from an emergency. You're pretty sure the budget spent on the gates leaves none for the escape pod, so you'd better stay away from it for now. Did they run out of budget to make another room as a connection to the other hallways? The Hatch is to the North, Contamination is to the South, and the Crew Quarters are to the SouthEast."

The Wrench is in The Airlock. "A wrench lies on the ground, and it's definitely not supposed to be here."

The description of the Wrench is "A magical Wrench that your nation spent a few decades working on. Hitting something with it allows you to fix it, or find what's wrong with it, at least." 

The Contamination is a room. "The white room is a great contrast to the rest of the submarine. This room wouldn’t be very comforting to the average seaman, but you aren’t a seaman. The room smells both mysterious and nostalgic to you. Lab training has always taught you to sterilize yourself, and you aren’t stopping that anytime soon. The Airlock is to your north, and the Research Lab is to the south."

The decontamination lock is a closed, locked door. The decontamination lock is south of the Airlock and north of the Contamination. The description of the door is "An automatic, waterproof, fireproof, earthproof, and airproof door that's quite sturdy. Unfortunately, 3/4 of the functions are unneeded. Why did we spend 200,000 dollars for this door anyway? You'll need to scan a card in order to open it, first."

The identity card unlocks the lock.

The Research Lab is a room. "Various test tubes line the shelves on the walls. There are tables scattered around, with various specimens of the aquatic life on this planet. There’s a desk with files and lab reports spread out, while there’s a monitor with a concerning number of tabs opened. This room looks familiar to a researcher like you… It’s probably the white tiles on the floor. The Contamination is to the North."
The Research Lab is south of the Contamination.

The Vent is an object in the Research Lab. The description of the Vent is "A completely unsuspicious vent".

The test tubes are in the Research Lab. The description of the test tubes is "Small vials of multiple substances. Cyanide, hydrogen peroxide, ketamine, THE SOULS OF THE VENGEFUL, and Fanta."

The specimen is fixed in place.

The Researcher is a person in the Research Lab.  
The description of the Researcher is "Looks like that's the other researcher aboard. Dressed in a clean lab coat, safety goggles, and other PPEs and following every rule, you can see that they could be a model in a lab training video. There is something off putting about him though..."
Every turn when the player can see the Researcher:
	say "The Researcher [one of]rubs his hands while grinning[or]is thinking heavily[or]eyes the vent mischievously[as decreasingly likely outcomes]."

The description of the Red Button is "Pushing this button will send all the bombs and nuclear weapons at the planet, destroying the environment and probably yourself as well. [line break]
Weapons Expert: While I would LOVE to press that butty wutty big red button that launches the big bad bombs, I don't think it would be a very berry good idea since we're also on this planet and would also DIE!! Very sad, I know :<"

Instead of pushing the Red Button: say "After pushing the button nothing happens, and thinking you're safe you continue your day. Hours pass and still nothing until you start to hear a faint rumbling. It grows louder and louder until, BOOOOOM!!! You hear a massive explosion and as you look outside you see a wave of colour traveling through the sea. You have a minute until it hits you and any and all traces of your existence are wiped clean. You spend your last minute thinking about all the mistakes you made in life, and how you failed your crew member. As the emergency alarms start, you know you have Ten seconds to live. NINE. You imagine what could have been. EIGHT. SEVEN. You realize you won't see your daughter again. SIX. FIVE. You think about the lives of everyone else on the ship. FOUR. You remember all the mistakes you made when you were young. THREE. TWO. ONE. and it all fades away...  - but in your last seconds, you can hear a faint voice. Yes, very faint, saying 'WHY THE HELL DID YOU PRESS THAT BUTTON"; end the game in death.

The Electricity Room is a Room.  
"You enter the electrical room, the heart of the ship. This is where all the power gets distributed, and is what keeps everyone alive. If something bad were to happen in this room things could get really bad, really quick. For some reason the Electrician is missing, I wonder why that is. The Crew Quarters is to the east, the Ballast Tanks are to the south and the Storage Area is to the west. [if unvisited] As you look around you notice someone broke the heat generator. You should go fix it."


The Broken Heat Generator is a fixed in place object in the Electricity Room. The description of the Broken Heat Generator is "An absurdly old generator supplying heat to the ship.

With crewmates having to walk back and forth alone between rooms to do their tasks, they become easy picking. The first crewmate dies within three days. The next one is killed a week later.

if score is 110
begin; say "How odd... The Engineer's body was in the Nuclear Reactor, but there's no way to enter the Reactor without the key! And we know the key could not have been in The Engineer's possession! This means that somebody moved them to the Reactor without their consent! We know that everyone has an alibi, but the security system doesn't detect anyone if they don't pass the door! How would the killer had moved locations? Well, they used the ventilation system to move to the Electrical Room and moved The Engineer's body to the Nuclear Reactor! If we look at this ventilation map, the only vents that connect to the Electrical Room are in the Research Lab and Communications Room! YOU USED THE VENTS TO SABOTAGE THE COMMUNICATIONS THEN WENT BACK TO THE RESEARCH ROOM, RESEARCHER 2! [line break] Researcher 2: NOOOOOOOO!!!! DAMN YOU, DASTARD!!!!! [line break] Kick him out, it's the only way to protect us![line break] Bye, bye Researcher 2! Researcher 2: YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET THIS!!!"; end the game in victory;
