You examine the PRE-PUNCHED CARD. What's this a picture of? Some kind of teal HAT? You have no idea how the game chooses these things.

The KERNELSPRITE continues to spew gibberish at you. It is presently starting to get VERY ANNOYING. As you pace over to the TOTEM LATHE, you pause for a moment to grab something you left leaning against a wall earlier in preparation for this very moment and tuck it under your arm.


Yes, yes, that will do, I should think...

You pause a moment before inserting the PRE-PUNCHED CARD into the TOTEM LATHE. Not for the first time, you feel that CREEPING SENSE OF INEVITABILITY that you find REALLY, REALLY UNSETTLING. But it's this or die like so many of your other teammates, so into the breach it is.

You smile mirthlessly and then toss the rolled-up PROPAGANDIC WALL ADORNMENT that you previously held under your arm at the KERNELSPRITE. It disappears in a flash of TYRIAN PINK. You hope you haven't made the wrong choice. (Or ANY wrong choices, really. You've had the opportunity to make many today.)

But what's done is done. And with that, you insert the PRE-PUNCHED CARD into the TOTEM LATHE.


Well, there's no going back now.
Although the time for regrets is probably long past in any case.
