The teleportation booths activate Floyd (by design?)

Opened this issue · 0 comments

>EAST
Booth 3
This is a tiny room with a large "3" painted on the wall. A panel contains a
slot about ten centimeters wide, a brown button labelled "1" and a beige button
labelled "2."

Floyd scampers into the booth. "Oooo, this is a tiny room," he remarks.

>TURN OFF FLOYD
Floyd, shocked by this betrayal from his new-found friend, whimpers and keels
over.

>SLIDE TELEPORTATION ACCESS CARD THROUGH SLOT
Nothing happens for a moment. Then a light flashes "Redee."

>PUSH 1
You experience a strange feeling in the pit of your stomach.
Floyd gives a terrified squeal, and clutches at his guidance mechanism.

Floyd jumps to his feet, hopping mad. "Why you turn Floyd off?" he asks
accusingly.

Floyd reactivating is handled by TELEPORT. Maybe it's so that he'll follow you through teleportation, but it does seem a bit odd...
