Inspect the cave, and turn on your built in lights.

You dont have a mouth, you are a brain in a jar.

*headsmack* It's a robot.
I have a better idea. SELL the CRAB MEAT to the TRADESTAR, and buy a RIFLE.

>jet into the air and survey your surroundings

You set the CRAB MEAT on the LANDING PAD, and call down a dropship to pick it up. Since ARMORED CRAB MEAT is quite rare, even mutilated ARMORED CRAB goes for somewhere around 5 oz/unit.

+500 GOLD


Unfortunately, only the MKIV BRAINBOT has built in lights. You venture forth.

At the end of the cave, the GOLDERATOR 9000 begins vibrating. You consult it and it tells you that it has discovered an AIR POCKET. What could this be? You begin digging...


...And fall face-first onto a metal floor. Luckily, the fall wasn't tall enough to hu-Oh, it's a SMALL CRAB! It stares at you expectantly.

STAND UP and DROP DOWN to where the CRAB is, and WAIT for it to do something. If it's looking at you expectantly, it must be intelligent.

>help it because its obviously broken some legs

You jump down and retrieve the CRAB. It seems to be very happy that you've picked it up.
You pass your hand over the CRAB's hard shell, petting it as one would a CAT. Whatever that is.

+1 CRAB

On a whim, you decide to go through the DOOR on your left. Someone left it unlocked. Sloppy, sloppy.

To your left is a COMPUTER. It appears to be fully functional. To your RIGHT is the door you just came through. You're yearning to jump into that tube-to-nowhere, but you also want to check out the awesome computer. You have two choices, and it comes down to a vote.

Inspect the COMPUTER. TURN IT ON if possible.
Buy a cool chair with a gigantic back and pet your pet crab whilst making plans of world domination.

>Start playing you're favorite game on the computer, Cortex Command!
And if it isn't there, download it!

You search around for a bit and find the ON button for the computer. It immediately boots it's core programming --- a strange GAME called CORTEX COMMAND. You play as a BRAIN BOT shooting at ZOMBIES with a PISTOL. Of course, the GAME is fake, as everyone knows ZOMBIES are not real.





When you finally lose, you emit a mental scream of rage, and go careening around the room like a MONKEY on CRACK.
You turn the COMPUTER off.

Then, you decide that your only other option is to go down the tubes. So, you make a HEROIC LEAP into the chute, only to ruin it by bashing your BRAIN CASE against a solid WALL, joggling your brain enough to make you fall unconcious. As darkness surrounds you, you hear strange voices....


Notice: It will be continued tomorrow.

Awhhh, it'd have been so cool if you'd have stopped for more input at the beginning of the zombie cave, a game within a game. No matter. I hope I don't miss the next adventure - this one was over so quick!

Enter epic war Tomorrow.

>Find that at the bottom of the tube is dirt.
*pat pat pat* IT WILL HAVE TO COME OUT!
Let's see if you where that's from.

As undertech said, this is supposed to be an interactive story, while at some point you kinda took ten decisions yourself and ended the story. Well, no matter. It was still fun to read!
