Chapter - The PC

The description of the player is "You are [the player's full name], a good-looking space commander [if the player is masculine]dude[otherwise if the player is feminine]lady[otherwise]of indeterminate gender[end if] wearing spiffy space armor. You are [if the player is nice]a pretty swell guy.[otherwise if the player is mean]kind of an asshole.[otherwise]neither particularly nice nor particularly douchey.[end if]"

The player carries no-tea. The printed name of no-tea is "no tea". Understand "no tea" as no-tea. The description of no-tea is "A profound and distressing lack of tea.". Instead of doing anything other than examining when the noun is the no-tea, say "You can't, wise guy. It's all conceptual and stuff.".

The cup of tea is a thing. The description of the cup of tea is "A cup of tea that you got from Nolan. It smells delicious." The cup of tea can be drunk. 

Instead of drinking the cup of tea:
	say "You gulp down the tea.";
	remove the cup of tea from play;
	now the player carries the no-tea;
	rule succeeds.

Chapter - When Play Begins

When play begins: 
    say "{Please note: this is not by any means a real finished game. This is a practice/proof-of-concept for a bigger project that I am working on. I put it here to show to some specific people, and if you are not them, you probably don't want to play this.} Welcome to the starship Placeholder, Space Marine! Before we begin, we need to know a few things about you.".
    
To decide whether choosing gender:
	if the player is in Choose Your Gender, yes;
	no.

Rule for printing the banner text when choosing gender: do nothing.

Gender is a kind of value. The genders are masculine, feminine, other, and mysterious. Understand "M" as masculine. Understand "F" as feminine.  Understand "P" as other.

A person has a gender. The gender of the player is mysterious. 

There is a room called Choose Your Gender. "Type the initial letter of your choice:[paragraph break][bold type]{F}[roman type]emale[line break][bold type]{M}[roman type]ale[line break][bold type]{P}[roman type]lease, binary concepts of gender are so 21st century."

After reading a command when the gender of the player is mysterious: 
	if the player's command includes "[gender]": 
		now the gender of the player is the gender understood; 
		if the gender of the player is masculine, now the player is male; 
		if the gender of the player is feminine, now the player is female;
		if the gender of the player is other, now the player is neuter;
		say "[line break]All right then, moving on..."; 
		move the player to Choose Your Name; 
		reject the player's command;
	otherwise:
		say "Come on, just play along here, won't you? Type F, M, or P.";
		reject the player's command. 

Rule for constructing the status line when choosing gender: do nothing. 

There is a room called Choose Your Name. "Type in a first and last name."

The player's forename is an indexed text that varies. The player's full name is an indexed text that varies.  The player's surname is an indexed text that varies.

To decide whether collecting names: 
	if the player is in Choose Your Name, yes;
	no.

After reading a command when collecting names: 
	if the number of words in the player's command is greater than 2: 
		say "[line break]You're a Space Marine. You keep it simple. You only need two names."; 
		reject the player's command;
	if the number of words in the player's command is 1:
		say "[line break]You're a Space Marine, not a pop star. Two names, soldier: first and last.";
		reject the player's command;
	now the player's full name is "[the player's command in title case]"; 
	now the player's forename is word number 1 in the player's full name; 
	now the player's surname is word number 2 in the player's full name;
	say "Welcome aboard, Commander [player's surname]!";
	say "[banner text]"; 
	move the player to Lower Deck Corridor;
	reject the player's command. 

Rule for printing the banner text when collecting names: do nothing. 

Rule for constructing the status line when collecting names: do nothing. 

Chapter - Layout

The Lower Deck Corridor is a room. "This is a hallway on the lower deck of the ship. You can go south to the engine room, north to the sleeping quarters, east to the Diplomacy Chamber, or west to the cargo bay from here."

South of the Lower Deck Corridor is the Engine Room. The description of the engine room is "This is a room full of machines which are not really necessary for running a sleek modern spaceship such as the one you command, but are impressive-looking nonetheless, with lots of blinky lights and unlabelled buttons and readout panels.[paragraph break]The door back to the corridor is to the north."

West of the Lower Deck Corridor is the Cargo Bay. The description of the Cargo Bay is "This room is full of boxes. You're not really sure what's in them, since this isn't a transport vessel anyway.[paragraph break]The door back to the corridor is to the east."

The boxes are plural-named scenery in the Cargo Bay. The description of the boxes is "Very mysterious."

North of the Lower Deck Corridor is the Sleeping Quarters. The description of the sleeping quarters is "The walls of this room are lined with futuristic space bunkbeds. You can tell they're futuristic space bunkbeds and not the regular kind because they're all white and blue and silver and shiny and don't have sharp corners.[paragraph break]The door back to the corridor is to the south."

The bunkbeds are plural-named scenery in the Cargo Bay. The description of the bunkbeds is "They look very comfortable. Futuristic space comfortable."

East of the Lower Deck Corridor is the Diplomacy Chamber. The description of the Diplomacy Chamber is "This room, in contrast to the shiny slick metal-and-plastic aesthetic of the rest of the ship, is rather... plushy. The deep red carpet is so thick that small animals could probably get lost in it, and the walls are covered by richly-embroidered wine-colored draperies. A large bed dominates the middle of the room.[paragraph break]The door back to the corridor is to the west."

The bed is scenery in the Diplomacy Chamber. The description of the bed is "It's big enough for about ten people to sleep in at once and adorned with more pillows than even those ten people could possibly need. It has the kind of mattress that you could sink into and never get up again."

Chapter - People

Section - Anneli

Anneli is a woman in the Engine Room. "Anneli is here, [one of]humming to herself as she pushes buttons and turns dials in an important-looking manner[or]cheerfully tinkering with the innards of some machine[or]drumming her talons absently on the table as she frowns at some technical diagrams, deep in thought.[at random]".

The description of Anneli is "Anneli, the ship's engineer, is a small, energetic woman who never seems to quite stand still. Her greenish-brown scales are smudged with dirt, as is the old blue jumpsuit which hangs loosely on her slender form, but her slit-pupilled orange eyes gleam excitedly."

The litany of Anneli is the Table of Anneli Comments.

The greeting of Anneli is a-hello.

Before going north from the Engine Room:
	if the affection of Anneli is greater than two:
		say "Anneli waves cheerily. 'Come back soon!'";
	otherwise:
		say "'Goodbye,' Anneli says, turning back to her machines.".

Section - Rodriguez

Rodriguez is a woman in the cargo bay. "Rodriguez is here, [one of]rifling idly through one of the boxes.[or]practicing her rakish grin on no one in particular.[or]cleaning her blaster gun.[at random]". The description of Rodriguez is "The tall, dark, and handsome Peaches Rodriguez is your ship's Official Space Pirate. Every crew has to have one now--it's regulations. She is dressed rather monochromatically in black slacks, a black vest, a black gun holster, and a white shirt (the top few buttons of which are unbuttoned in a carefully careless manner). Her glossy black hair falls in waves to her shoulders, and she sports a wicked devil-may-care grin."

Understand "Peaches" as Rodriguez.

The litany of Rodriguez is the Table of Rodriguez Comments.

The greeting of Rodriguez is r-hello.

Before going east from the cargo bay:
	if the affection of Rodriguez is greater than 2:
		say "'Nice talking to you, doll,' Rodriguez says, and leans against the wall to watch you go.";
	otherwise:
		say "'Goodbye, [italic type]Commander[roman type],' Rodriguez drawls.".

r-mercenary		"'As long as you're paying me, sweetheart,' she says, 'I'm ready for anything.'"
r-stealing		"'All right, maybe I'm not,' she admits. 'But in this position, who wouldn't contemplate cutting and running with a nice share of the cargo?'"
r-gone			"Rodriguez raises an eyebrow. 'If you want me gone, Commander, just say the word. I don't stay where I'm not wanted.'"

r-rich			"'The love of money is the root of being rich,' she says. 'That's the important part, as far as I'm concerned. So you can take your moralizing and shove it.'"

Section - Nolan

Nolan is a man in the Diplomacy Chamber. "Nolan is here, [one of]lounging on the bed.[or]lighting some incense.[or]plucking idly at some odd kind of musical instrument.[at random]". The description of Nolan is "Nolan Sagarin, your diplomatic officer, catches your gaze and gives you a warm smile. He is dressed in a deep-red robe with gold trim, which both matches the decor of the room and picks up the hints of red and gold in his curly brown hair. The robe is open just enough to afford you a glimpse of his well-muscled chest.[paragraph break]Your ship as a whole is more of an ass-kicking ship than a diplomacy-having ship, but you are still representatives of the Council, and as such there are some situations which require a more delicate touch. Nolan's job is to handle those situations. To put people at their ease in an intimate one-on-one environment (or one-on-several, if that's what floats their spaceship). To give people a hands-on demonstration of your commitment to galactic peace.[paragraph break]What we're saying here is that his job is to bone people. For politics."

The litany of Nolan is the Table of Nolan Comments.

The greeting of Nolan is n-hello.

Before going west from the Diplomacy Chamber:
	if the affection of Nolan is greater than three:
		say "'Be well,'  says Nolan, lightly touching your shoulder.";
	otherwise:
		say "'Goodbye,' Nolan says, in a perfectly calm and impassive tone".

Section - Khar'ss

Khar'ss is a man in the sleeping quarters. "Khar'ss is here, [one of]sharpening his claws on one of the beds.[or]grooming himself.[or]just sort of lazing around.[at random]". The description of Khar'ss is "Khar'ss Ff'thrar mrr Rheow is the most feared assassin this side of the Virgo Supercluster. Well, okay, that's not really true. Khar'ss [italic type]would[roman type] be the most feared assassin this side of the Virgo Supercluster if anyone actually knew who he was. However, since he's good at his job, no one does.[paragraph break]He may look cute with his slight build, wide greeny-gold eyes, and general fluffiness, but he is a ruthless and efficient killer. His sharp and pointy weapons are a part of his body, unlikely to raise suspicion, impossible to confiscate. He can move so silently that the most observant bodyguard would never know he was there. He can blend effortlessly into any situation, coming and going completely unnoticed. All things considered, you're glad he's on your side. You just wish he'd stop marking everything on the ship as his property by peeing on it."

The litany of Khar'ss is the Table of Khar'ss comments.

The greeting of Khar'ss is k-hello.

Before going south from the Sleeping Quarters:
	if the affection of Khar'ss is greater than 2:
		say "Khar'ss rubs his face against your shoulder affectionately. This is just one of those things that he does that you have to put up with.";
	otherwise:
		say "Khar'ss pretends not to notice you leaving.".

k-hello			"'Oh, hello, Commander [the player's surname],' Khar'ss says, looking at you hopefully. 'Have you got any fish?'"
k-nofish			"Khar'ss looks affronted; his stubby vestigial tail twitches in annoyance. 'Why [italic type]wouldn't[roman type] you be?'"
k-getfish		"'That's all right,' he says, 'it isn't urgent. But perhaps later...?'"
k-doitself		"'Of course I can get it myself,' he says. 'It's just... oh, never mind. [italic type]You[roman type] wouldn't understand.' He gets up and stalks over to the other side of the room. Evidently your conversation is over."
k-yayfish		"'Why, thank you,' he purrs. 'You're too kind. A bit of grilled salmon would do nicely.'"
k-butfish		"'But it's fish!' Khar'ss exclaims. 'How can you not need fish?'"
k-wellok			"Khar'ss sighs. 'Well, I [italic type]suppose[roman type] that's a good enough reason. But you could still get some for me, couldn't you?'"
k-wellok2		"Khar'ss sighs. 'Well, I [italic type]suppose[roman type] that's a good enough reason. But you could still get some for me, couldn't you?'"
k-ugh			"'How rude,' Khar'ss sniffs. 'Entirely uncalled-for, really.' He begins carefully grooming a paw, no longer paying attention to you."
k-thanks		"'That's all I ask,' Khar'ss says magnanimously. 'And now you had better be off, hadn't you?'"
k-what			"'Excuse me?' Khar'ss says, his ears back and his teeth bared. 'I don't insult the disgusting food that you humans eat, do I? Like textured soy protein, or-' he shudders delicately- '[italic type]vegetables[roman type].'"
k-whatever		"'That was different,' he says. 'Entirely different. And I am quite finished dealing with your rudeness.'"
k-fine			"Khar'ss tilts his head to one side and considers what you've said for a long moment. 'I suppose I can forgive you,' he says. 'But I'm still not going to talk to you for the rest of the day. That's your punishment.'"
k-goodbye		"'Oh, well, that's fine, then. So was I. In fact, I was done with it [italic type]first[roman type].'".
