Do you want the viewpoint of the traveler or the spy? >T

Do you want the short variation or the long one? >SHORT

Then let the story begin!
With your business deal behind you, you want only to get out of this bleak
corner of Eastern Europe. The frontier is now only a few hours away, and from
there it's not far to Vienna, and civilization....

The ride seems endless, and you're dozing off again. The wheels of the train
are ticking like a clock, ticking off the segments of track you're passing, and
the compartment is rocking you back and forth, back and forth, making your
eyelids slowly close.

Your slumber is cut short as a man staggers into your compartment, panting
strangely. From his demeanor, you guess that he has drunk too much. But before
you can dismiss him, you notice that he's grasping a bright red spot on his
shirt. He speaks quietly, but in a hurry.

"I've got only a moment, so listen carefully! Since you were reading the
International Herald over lunch, I assume you're an American. I am an agent of
our government, and I've been sent to deliver a document to our special agent
in Gola. An enemy agent spotted me on the train, and I only barely managed to
escape." He groans softly, examining his wound.

"The best I can do now is throw the enemy off the scent, but I need you, and
your country needs you, to carry out my assignment." You start to interrupt, a
thousand questions racing through your mind. "There's no time! Here! Take my
briefcase, but be careful with it! Our enemies are all around us! My contact in
Gola is an old woman, and I was to display a pen, then use the words 'red
handkerchief' ...." Then he stops and listens. Before you can say anything, he
checks the corridor and races out.

(third compartment)
This is a once-luxurious first-class compartment on the Znuk-Potrzebie Express.
The plush red upholstery on the two facing seats, shiny and worn in spots, and
the greasy lace on the headrests, give the car an air of faded elegance. A red
handle is hanging by a short length of cord from the ceiling, swinging in time
to the train's rocking motion. The corridor is outside, past a window with a
red curtain on it.
The train is rocketing along a barren stubble-plain.
A thin man and an old man are just outside.
Sitting on the train seat is a briefcase.


Okay, what do you want to do now?
>OPEN THE CASE

The train lurches a bit.
The latch is closed.
You hear some kind of noise from the roof of the train.

What next?
>OPEN IT

(I assume you mean: the briefcase latch.)
The metal latch snaps open.

What next?
>OPEN CASE

Opening it reveals a document, a miniature camera, a cassette of film, a
magnifying glass, and a scrap of newsprint.
Something outside the window catches your eye. It looks like the stranger
falling off the roof of the train.

What next?
>EXAMINE DOCUMENT

The train lurches a bit.
It's not a very handsome document, scrawled in a hurry by a hand that wouldn't
win any prizes under the best of conditions. But it seems to contain crucial
information -- times, places, a crude map, even code words -- about a plan to
kidnap some high-ranking official. Were the plan to succeed, several
governments would be embarrassed, if not in mortal danger, and the balance of
power would become precarious.

What next?
>PICK UP CAMERA AND FILM

miniature camera: You are now holding it.
cassette of film: You are now holding it.

What next?
>EXAMINE CAMERA

Ah! Is this the masterwork of some paranoid genius in "Q" Section? A product of
years of technological innovation, bordering on magic? Nah, it's just an
ordinary miniature camera -- no weapons, no motors, nothing to break down. And
it's closed.

What next?
>OPEN IT

(I assume you mean: the miniature camera.)
Okay, it is now open.

What next?
>PUT FILM IN IT

(I assume you mean: the miniature camera.)
Okay.

(You won't see "What next?" any more.)

>CLOSE IT

(I assume you mean: the cassette of film.)
(You can't close it.)

>CLOSE CAMERA

Okay, it is now closed.

>TAKE PICTURE OF DOCUMENT

You push the button, but it won't move.

>EXAMINE CAMERA

It looks as if it needs to be cocked.

>COCK IT

(I assume you mean: the miniature camera.)
Okay.

>TAKE PICTURE OF DOCUMENT

"Click!"
Just outside an old couple appear from the rear middle.

>CLOSE THE CASE

Closed.
The old couple, just outside, disappear to the front.
Just outside a fat man appears from the rear middle.
Just outside an attractive man appears from the forward middle.

>SEARCH THE ROOM

(You stand up first.)
(It's better to examine or search one thing at a time. It would take a long
time to search a whole room or area thoroughly. A brief search would take 3
minutes, and it might not reveal much. Would you like to do it anyway?) >YES

The fat man enters, looks around, and sits down.
Then he notices the briefcase and takes it.
The attractive man, just outside, disappears to the rear.
Do you want to continue what you were doing? >NO

Your brief search reveals nothing exciting.

>TAKE CASE

The fat man holds it more tightly and looks at you defiantly.
Just outside the conductor appears from the forward middle.
The conductor, just outside, stops to punch tickets.
The fat man, carrying it, opens the compartment door for a moment and leaves.

>FIND MY TICKET

You have it.
The conductor punches the fat man's ticket.
The fat man, just outside, disappears to the rear.

>INVENTORY

(Sorry, but the word "inventory" is not in the vocabulary that you can use.)

>INVENT

You're holding a miniature camera.
And there's something in your pocket.
The conductor punches the thin man's ticket.

>LOOK IN MY POCKET

Your pocket contains your ticket, a timetable, a traveler's check, and your
passport.
And some money.
The conductor punches the old man's ticket.

>LOOK AT TICKET

The train lurches a bit.
All you can make out is the destination: Gola.

The conductor appears and makes a gesture, asking for your ticket.

>GIVE HIM IT

(I assume you mean: your ticket.)
(I assume you mean: the conductor.)
The conductor punches your ticket and then gives it back to you.
He touches a finger to his cap and opens the compartment door for a moment and
leaves.
He disappears to the rear.

>SEARCH THE ROOM

(It's better to examine or search one thing at a time. It would take a long
time to search a whole room or area thoroughly. A brief search would take 3
minutes, and it might not reveal much. Would you like to do it anyway?) >Y

Your brief search reveals nothing exciting.

>EXAMINE FLOOR

The train lurches a bit.
Something catches your eye: it's a spot of blood.

>EXAMINE CEILING

(Sorry, but this story doesn't recognize the word "ceiling".)

>LOOK UP

The ceiling has seen better years, but a little soot removal would do wonders.

>PUT ALL IN POCKET

your ticket: Okay.
miniature camera: Okay.

>LEAVE

(You open the compartment door and close it again.)
(middle)
[You're facing to the right side of the train.]
This is the middle of the corridor. The floor and walls are covered with
cream-colored linoleum, worn away in spots to reveal the original hardwood
finish. A long series of windows, still framed by wood, runs along the corridor
on the right-hand side of the train.
A girl is off to the rear.
A regal woman is off to the front.
The thin man is here, smoking a cigarette.
The old man is here, reading a newspaper.

windowed door, lies the fifth compartment.
A young woman is in the fifth compartment.

She is dressed for a long trip, in shades of blue, with a strange odor. 

>REAR

(You open the swinging door and close it again.)
(rear vestibule)
This is a small vestibule at the rear end of the car. There's a short flight of
metal steps on the left side of the train leading down off the train, and a
narrow metal ladder leading up to the roof. A small door leads to a restroom,
and a big window is open to the outside. A red handle is hanging by a short
length of cord from the ceiling, swinging in time to the train's rocking
motion. The train is speeding along a barren stubble-plain.
The clatter of the wheels on the track is almost deafening.

>R

[Debugging info: you are entering car #3.]
(forward vestibule)
This is a small vestibule at the forward end of the car. It's just like the

first booth.

>ENTER

(first booth)
[You're facing to the left side of the train.]
This is a diner booth on the Znuk-Potrzebie Express. In fact, it looks as if
the railway company just converted a first-class coach into a diner by removing
the door and adding a table to each compartment.
The train is speeding along a barren stubble-plain.

>FIND A MENU

The train lurches a bit.
It's right here.
The train is now speeding past a dark, violent river.

>READ IT

(I assume you mean: the menu.)
A sign on the wall has a long list of mysterious Frotzian phrases, printed in
ornate letters. All you can decipher is unpleasant things like fish heads and
lice, or rumpled stilt's skin. Wait! There's an American phrase: Eggs McGuffin!

>COUNT MONEY

You are carrying *49.

>EXAMINE THE CHECK

It's your last $10 Mariners' Trust traveler's check, "accepted and even revered
the world over."
A waiter enters, ready to take your order.

(I assume you mean: the waiter.)
"E davnisnap qwamrk?"

>SHOW HIM THE CHECK

(I assume you mean: the waiter.)
He nods and displays a pen.

The train lurches a bit.

dark current carries bits of foam swiftly along.

>GO TO KITCHEN

(galley)
The galley is crowded with supplies and equipment. The locked cabinets are
probably filled with food, kettles, and kitchen tools. There's a crowded
counter for preparing food. If you want to find something, you'll have to
search for it.
There's a cook here, cooking.
He makes a pushing motion with one hand and points forward with the other. He
seems angry that you're invading his space.

>SAY "HELLO"

(I assume you mean: say to the cook.)
He makes a pushing motion with one hand and points forward with the other. He
seems angry that you're invading his space.

You're not in here!

>LEAVE

(You stand up first.)

(rear vestibule)
A middle-aged couple are off to the rear.
A cigarette machine stands in one corner, waiting to be either used or
discarded -- it's hard to say which.

The conductor cries, "Grnz," and the train glides to a halt in the station.

>LEAVE THE TRAIN

You notice a pair of customs inspectors boarding the train to search it.
(platform)
You are standing on the concrete platform of the Grnz railway station. A
cantilevered roof looms overhead, with occasional drops of rain water falling
from its edge. To the west is the entrance to the station house. To the east is
a passenger train, the Znuk-Potrzebie Express, hissing and blowing off steam.
The place is crowded with people milling about, searching for a certain
passenger or the right car, or simply waiting.
A customs agent is off to the north.
The conductor is here, walking to the front of the train. He heads off to the
north.

implications. But be assured that you deserve the thanks of the whole world."
