If you have one of the newer browsers you can\nget right to it by pressing the 'moonmilk.volcano.org'  URL at the bottom\nof this message series. It might be helpful for you to skim some of the\ntopics the group has already worried through. It's expanded to three units\nnow, but perhaps you need read only the latest one. Though your scenario\nisn't bad!\n\nvizcacha,\nEven I, who don't play computer games, have played one of your games right\nthrough to the end! I will always love Return to Zork for its sheer\ngoofiness, and I even bought Zork Nemesis, hoping for more of the same.\nAlas, it turned out to be all woo-woo Mysticism (plus a RAM hog), and I\ncouldn't get interested at all. Starcross sounds good. I'm impressed!\n\n(mantis,\nDoes Piaton mean \"foot-soldier?\" Like Latro? No, I guess that would be an\n\"ie\"---what does it mean in Greek?)"

I think it's just the opposite, but shows how\nthoroughly mixed Marble and Rose are, like a left brain/right brain\nthing.  Marble is saying, \"without you I would have been left alone with\nRose,\" and Rose is saying, \"without you I would have been left alone\nwith that chem.\"  It gets mixed together so she says both, and adds\n\"_We'd_ have gone mad!\"  You have to work to tease out what's a Marble\nthought from what's a Rose thought."
