"Pathway to Destruction" by Richard Otter

The story genre is "Mystery". The release number is 2. The story headline is "An Interactive Fiction". The story description is "You have worked at the Institute of Transportation for nearly five years. As one of the engineering team in the Research and Development section, it is considered a highly respected position and is particularly well paid. In recent years it has become even more important, as with a growing population the global transport system is struggling to cope. A complete collapse has been predicted in a little under five years' time.

You are currently working on the Pathway project which is a new developmental Rapid Transit System (RTS).  This holds out the promise of fast, efficient and cheap travel.  You do not fully understand the science behind it but it has something to do with particles, magnetism and time travel. Basically, you arrive at your destination the exact same moment you leave your starting point.

The initial trials have been extremely promising and the first long distance test is now underway. The intent was for you to be 'particled' (as it is called) from one side of the planet to the other and then back again. They strapped you into a chair situated in the centre of the testing chamber and the senior technician on the project gave you the thumbs up sign from the control room.  First your hands and feet started to tingle, then your vision blurred, then... nothing." The story creation year is 2008. The story author is "Richard Otter".

This holds out the promise of fast, efficient and cheap travel.  You do not fully understand the science behind it but it has something to do with particles, magnetism and time travel. Basically, you arrive at your destination the exact same moment you leave your starting point.[paragraph break]The initial trials have been extremely promising and the first long distance test is now underway. The intent was for you to be 'particled' (as it is called) from one side of the planet to the other and then back again. They strapped you into a chair situated in the centre of the testing chamber and the senior technician on the project gave you the thumbs up sign from the control room.

Chapter 2 - Tables

Table of News Stories
news	used 
"On the day of the Pathway project long distance test, the news appears to be pretty normal. It consists of the news, sports, weather, man eaten by killer hamster. The usual sort of stuff. It is the reports on the day following the test that you found particularly interesting. Stories started coming in from all over the city about large parts of the population who had simply vanished into thin air. Later in the day the 'problem' seemed to be spreading as cities all over the planet had reported mass disappearances.

Looking at the reports on the second day after the test, it seemed that nearly half the population of the planet was missing. This was not just limited to the human population, but any carbon-based life. The skies, seas and land had also emptied of animals and birds." 	a number
"On the third day, the location of the problem had been identified - it was the testing chamber. Something must have gone terribly wrong with the test, but no one in the Research and Development section could be contacted. The military decided to take drastic action and made three attempts to destroy the testing chamber. With the disappearances continuing, soon not enough airmen were left to carry out the air strikes.[paragraph break]The last reports are about civil disturbances breaking out all over the planet. The populace started blaming science and technology for the catastrophe; centres of knowledge and learning were attacked and destroyed. Law and order had suffered a complete breakdown and the very last story is about a force of the local volunteer army being sent to 'restore' order at the temple.[paragraph break]For a long time you can do nothing; you just stand unable to take it all in. How could this have happened? What could have gone wrong with the test? Well, the answer must lie in the test chamber under the Research and Development building."
"It is the day of the test and you can see yourself being strapped into the chair in the test chamber. [if player is male]Colin[otherwise]Clare[end if] gives you a thumbs up from the Control Room and the ignition lights come on; the test begins.

You can tell immediately that something is wrong, the technicians in the control room look worried. The beam which was locked onto Alpha City on the Europa Continent (the other side of the planet) has moved, but they cannot tell where. The system starts to draw more and more power as it automatically tries to lock on. In the Contol Room [if player is male]Colin[otherwise]Clare[end if] can be heard saying, 'I think [if player is male]he[otherwise]she[end if] has particled but we are not getting a confirmation signal. We must try to get [if player is male]him[otherwise]her[end if] back.' Someone off camera says, 'I can't get the beam to lock, we can't get  [if player is male]him[otherwise]her[end if] back.'[paragraph break]Some how it threw you into the future, so no wonder they could not lock on. That is why you are still in the chair, the system does not know that you arrived. As a safety measure, if no confirmation is received, the system holds onto the person assuming they have not been particled.[paragraph break]Your attention is drawn back to the screen. Suddenly warning signals start to flash and it appears that the technicians are losing control of the beam. You hear one of them say, 'We are losing confinement. My God! It is starting to scatter! Shut off the power! Shut off the power!' With no warning [if player is male]Colin[otherwise]Clare[end if] and all the other technicians vanish.[paragraph break]You shudder as if someone has just worked over your grave. With the system drawing that much power as they tried in vain to lock on the beam; if that beam scattered what would happen when it came into contact with people?"
"Over the next hour you watch the whole of the disc, several times. You now know that the staff at the testing centre tried, in vain, to shutdown the system. The very safety measures designed to protect had destroyed. The automatic systems would not let the test be stopped because it was still particling the test subject, i.e. you.[paragraph break]You now have a very good idea of what has happened to the population of the planet; they have been particled into the past, the future, who knows.[paragraph break]With the test still running and the beam scattered over the planet any person it came into contact with would be beamed away. You have a working theory that the reason you are unaffected now is that you are still 'technically' being particled.[paragraph break]It is now very clear that you need close down the test. You have no idea what this will do to you, both the one in the chair and this version of you, but the test must be stopped. You need to find a way of shutting off the power[if read-new-journal is 0]. Pausing for a moment, you remember that your journal should mention something about the power supply[otherwise]. Pausing for a moment, you remember that your journal has some notes about the power supply[end if]."

	say "It is smooth to the touch."

The old journal is a thing.  Understand "notebook" and "notepad" and "leather-bound item" and "leather-bound journal" as old journal.

[if player is male]Colin[otherwise]Clare[end if] bought this leather-bound journal for your last birthway, six months ago.  Now it is just an ancient item, dusty with the passing years. It feels almost too fragile to touch without damaging in some way.";
	otherwise;
		say "Your journal seems to be just an ancient leather-bound item, dusty with the passing years. It feels almost too fragile to touch without damaging in some way.";
	end if.

Instead of dropping the old journal:
	say "You drop the journal, which disintegrates anyway to nothing.";
	remove old journal from play.	

The gold chain is wearable.  The description is "The gold chain was a present from your father, on your graduation from engineering college (second in your class).  It is heavy gold with an over polished finish and is a little too long for your taste."

The gold necklace is wearable.  The description is "The gold necklace was a present from your mother, on your graduation from engineering college (top of your class).  It is a fine gold necklace fashioned as a serpent.".  Understand "serpent" and "gold serpent" as gold necklace.

The player wears the overalls and the ring.
