.GSTR STR?257,"north"
.GSTR STR?258,"west"
.GSTR STR?259,"This tiny dock, partly buried by drifting sand, extends south into the canal. A break in the sand forms a trail to the north."
.GSTR STR?260,"You are in a tiny basin, protected by dunes from the fierce Martian winds. The dunes are impassable, except to the south."
.GSTR STR?261,"sick of lip balm"
.GSTR STR?262,"The alien may have died of acute chapped lips (a perennial problem in the arid Martian climate). If so, it was a sudden death, for the lip balm near the body is completely unused."
.GSTR STR?263,"Lying next to the body, partially buried in the sand, is a strange coded message."
.GSTR STR?264,"A strange alien, probably a member of one of the ancient warrior races of Mars, lies dead at the base of a dune."
.GSTR STR?265,"This dock, on the south shore of the canal, is named after Don Donald, the first resident of Mars. There are no paths leading inland, but a tall dune to the south is less steep than the others."
.GSTR STR?266,"From this vantage, you can see the canal curving south, a bit downstream from here. Just after this bend, two docks flank the canal: an opulent dock on the east bank, and a dilapidated one on the closer shore.
You could slide down the dune to the north or the east."
.GSTR STR?267,"East or north?"
.GSTR STR?268,"This dock is in remarkably good shape, considering that it hasn't been painted in fifteen thousand years. A wide canal, flowing south, lies to the east, and an opening between the dunes leads west."
.GSTR STR?269,"As with all Martian civilization, this once-fashionable shopping center has fallen upon hard times; the only store to have endured the fifteen-millenia recession lies to the south. The canal is still as visible as it was when scheming marketeers misnamed the mall generations ago -- in other words, not at all. A path leads east, and a dune to the west seems mountable."
.GSTR STR?270,"This store is in good shape only relative to the other shops in the mall; for example, the last time it was vacuumed, humans were just inventing writing. The dust nearly covers the proprietor, who sits forlornly in the corner beneath a faded sign. An exit is barely visible through the dust to the north."
.GSTR STR?271,"ube"
.GSTR STR?272,"Now THIS Is My Kind of Dock"
.GSTR STR?273,"If I owned a pier on a major Martian canal, I'd want it to look just like this one -- handsome, well-proportioned, and amply endowed with jade and ivory. I could probably live without the alabaster stair which leads up at the end of the dock, to the east."
.GSTR STR?274,"A shaft of sunlight penetrates the stained glass windows and glistens off a large reflecting pool, filling this huge entry hall with a seductive pattern of tantalizing colors. Gleaming marble pillars rise majestically from the pool to support a towering, arched roof. You are on a branching pathway suspended above the pool, leading toward shadowy archways in every direction."
.GSTR STR?275,"As you approach, you realize that the archway in this direction is merely a design on a solid wall."
.GSTR STR?276,"clohes pin"
.GSTR STR?277,"Today must be drying day at the laundry, since there's only one clothes pin left."
.GSTR STR?278,"These twisted trees and elegant footbridges are even more beautiful than the gardens of the most lavish Fu Manchu films. Paths from the north, southeast, and west meet at a large well of hand-carved stone in the center of the garden."
.GSTR STR?279,"A slender tower protrudes magnificently above the palace grounds. A stair winds up into the tower and an oriental garden spreads out to the northwest."
.GSTR STR?280,"By standing erect at the parapet of this mighty tower, you command an exciting view. Below, gardens and courtyards intermingle with the palace buildings, forming a fertile oasis in the Martian desert. Off to the west, docks straddle a deep canal. On the far shore, sand dunes lap at crumbling buildings. On the top step of a winding stair is a black circle."
.GSTR STR?281,"A guard stands by the entrance to the harem, apparently waiting for a response from you."
.GSTR STR?282,"Oops, deceased"
.GSTR STR?283,"Vacationing on Ceres"
.GSTR STR?284,"Bad case of harem fever"

.GSTR STR?291,"any situation not covered by the rules occurs"
.GSTR STR?292,"You never actually notice where the tiger comes from, only that it seems very very very very ferocious."
.GSTR STR?293,"if you just said SAY or ANSWER with nothing after"
.GSTR STR?294," forewarned, the guards reduce you to three dots."
.GSTR STR?295,"the latest sounds in jazz."
.GSTR STR?296,"a new radio serial."

.GSTR STR?303,"secre map"
.GSTR STR?304,"secret catacombs map"
.GSTR STR?305,"You stumble into the dark, hit a wall, knock yourself unconscious, fall into a foot of water, drown, and are devoured by Martian beetles."
.GSTR STR?306,"No living creature can even guess how long this storehouse has sat amidst the catacombs, undisturbed by man or by time, untouched by wars and weather, a silent witness to the passing eons, the rise and fall of empires, the births and deaths of countless billions, its only visitor the dark waters of a Martian canal."
.GSTR STR?307,"Sitting in one corner is a Cleveland telephone directory."
.GSTR STR?308,"Damp walls of brick rise to a point of light far above. A black circle is visible just below the surface of the water."
.GSTR STR?309,"The well has no handholds."
.GSTR STR?310,"This spot is much like the rest of the catacombs, except that a ladder leads up into the darkness."
.GSTR STR?311,"Generations of Sultans and Sultanesses are entombed here, along with their vast wealth, their favorite servants, and some form of transportation to the next world. For example, one Sultan lies amidst mountains of rubies, surrounded by a fleet of dirigibles."
.GSTR STR?312,"raft"

.GSTR STR?318,"crab"
.GSTR STR?319," A Martian alligator, large enough to blend in inconspicuously with Great Britain's mercantile fleet, swims by and gulps a huge bunch of canal water -- the bunch that happens to include you, by the way."
.GSTR STR?320,"gator"
.GSTR STR?321,"No, not a typo. ""Dessert"" refers to the fifty foot Martian Cream Pie here. A mirage, of course. People hopelessly lost in the desert often see strange mirages, such as cream pies, lakes, or trails to the northwest and southeast."
.GSTR STR?322,"This tiny dock is the maritime entrance to the once-famous Wattz-Upp section of Mars. East of the dock is a wide, north-south canal; you can hear a gurgling sound to the west. There's a chill in the air; you might be approaching the south polar cap."
.GSTR STR?323,"white circle"
.GSTR STR?324,"A little bunny rabbit is sipping at the waters of the oasis."
.GSTR STR?325,"This is the southern terminus of the canal. Far below this dock, teleportation machinery transports massive quantities of water back to the head of the canal in the equatorial region of Mars. It's quite chilly, and the dock is covered with a sheet of ice. To the south, as far as you can see, is the bleak whiteness of the southern ice cap."
.GSTR STR?326,"A solitary black circle is the only break in an vaste expanse of whiteness extending to the horizon. Like a dark speck in a sea of white, or a huge piece of typing paper with but a single period typed upon it, this black circle seems to have been placed here entirely as an opportunity for some silly literary allusions. To avoid the danger of accidentally typing an ""L"" and having to read them again, follow the faint trails to the north or east."
.GSTR STR?327,"You'd only get lost in the snow and die."
.GSTR STR?328,"There's a wall of penguins in the way."
.GSTR STR?329,"This is the campsite of a family of nomadic robotic gypsies. A ragged tent is pitched on the north side of the camp, and trails lead northwest and south."
.GSTR STR?330,"This tattered tent, home to the deceased robots, provides meager protection against the cold polar winds. You can exit to the south."

.GSTR STR?334,"abandon"
.GSTR STR?335,"A matronly woman of massive proportions and rather cubical aspect "
.GSTR STR?336,"You are standing near the front stoop of a very large igloo. Its door is flanked by a faded sign and a barred window. Paths lead north, north and north."
.GSTR STR?337,"This is as far south as you can go!"
.GSTR STR?338,"You walk in a tight circle, returning to your starting point."

.GSTR STR?351,"To the north: the entrance to a plasticoid house, the only type of structure that lasts more than three minutes in the volatile Venusian biosphere. To the south and east: paths into the jungle."
.GSTR STR?352,"You're near the rear entrance of a house, to the south. Trails enter the jungle to the east and the west."
.GSTR STR?353,"An extraordinary number of door-to-door salesmen are camped out here, having been booted away from the front door, but still hopeful of making a sale."
.GSTR STR?354,"""No thanks, I've already got one."
.GSTR STR?355,"""Stop insulting me. There's a glut of those on the market."
