The Unbuttoned Elevator Affair
Example 9
★This is very simple. The interior of the elevator is a single room, but which is mapped east of both of its termini. The reverse map connection, west from the elevator, can only go to a single room, and that's what determines which floor the elevator is on.
"The Unbuttoned Elevator Affair"
UNCLE Headquarters is a room. "The steel nerve-center of the free world's battle against the Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity. Being against technology, we have only a very simple elevator to the east."
Del Floria's Tailor Shop is a room. "Only trained anti-THRUSH agents recognise the booth in the east wall as a secret elevator."
The Secret Elevator is east of UNCLE Headquarters. The Secret Elevator is east of Del Floria's Tailor Shop.
After going to the Secret Elevator:
say "The doors automatically close, there is a rush of motion, and they open again.";
if UNCLE Headquarters is mapped west of the Secret Elevator, now Del Floria's Tailor Shop is mapped west of the Secret Elevator;
otherwise now UNCLE Headquarters is mapped west of the Secret Elevator;
continue the action.
Test me with "east / west / east / west".
Test me with "east / west / east / west".
