handle_bar2
Look at upper handle bar (main)
nathan: It's a metal handle bar coated with insulation.
Pull upper handle bar (main)
nathan: Oops. I think I broke it.
boothdoor
Look at booth door (main)
nathan: The door is closed.
Use booth door (main)
nathan: It's locked.
Unlock #noun# with #item# booth door (main)
nathan: Here we go.
booth door (open)
nathan: That should work!
control_panel
Look at control panel (off)
nathan: It's some kind of control panel for routing power around the station, although it doesn't appear to be operational. It looks like it needs power.
nathan: Actually, it looks like this entire station is powered down. I wonder if there's a way to restore the power?
Use control panel (off)
nathan: This control panel is useless without power.
handle_bar
Lick lower handle bar (main)
nathan: No way, I'm not falling for that again! The last time was traumatic.
Pull lower handle bar (main)
nathan: Yep, it's sturdy.
train
Look at train (there)
nathan: Amazing technology ... this doesn't look like any train I've ridden before.
Use train (there)
nathan: We're not done here yet!
nathan: Also, I hope that we'll use Dr. LeMue-LaFayette's zeppelin for the ride home.
platform
Look at train platform (off)
nathan: It's the control pedestal for the train platform.
nathan: It doesn't appear to be operational. It looks like it needs power.
Use train platform (off)
nathan: I'd better not touch it. I wouldn't know what to do with it even if it was operational.
Use train platform (on)
nathan: I'd better not. I wouldn't want to be responsible for a runaway train.
utility_panel
Look at utility panel (closed)
nathan: It's a utility panel with some sort of warning symbol on it.
Open utility panel (closed)
nathan: Hm. I think I've found the reason why none of the utilities around this station have power ...
utility panel (closed)
nathan: I'll need to open the panel before I can do any work on it.
Look at power junction (open)
nathan: While there is power coming into the facility, this broken junction is preventing power from reaching any of the station utilities.
coppelius: This sabotage must be the work of Vincent! He must have disabled the junction to keep anyone from interfering with his experiment.
Lick power junction (open)
nathan: It's difficult to think of a worse idea.
Reconnect power junction (open)
nathan: With what? I'll need some kind of jumper to connect the two ports.
Fix #noun# with #item# power junction (open)
nathan: Okay, let's hope this works ...
nathan: That seems to have powered up the station!
trelawney: Who's there??
trelawney: Why did you lock me in the elevator!?
nathan: Aaargh!
nora: Step back! Don't you dare touch him!
coppelius: Anthony Trelawney?! Is that you? ... ALIVE?
slappy: Anthony! Good to see you still kicking, old chap!
trelawney: Dear me ... William? ... Henry? It's good to see you old friends! But you're not who I was expecting ...
coppelius: Confound it Anthony, what's going on here?! What are you doing up here, and why would you fake your own death?
trelawney: Well, that's a long story ...
coppelius: Then speak quickly. We're running out of time.
trelawney: Alright ... well I'm sure you remember when we closed the Smith Institute and agreed to destroy our research before going our separate ways.
coppelius: Yes, I remember. We had to keep our plans and prototypes away from that power-hungry maniac, Vincent.
trelawney: Well in addition to my own research, I was also responsible for dismantling the Time Rift Apparatus up here on Mount Misery. But ...
coppelius: ... but WHAT??
trelawney: Well, I didn't dismantle it.
slappy: Anthony!
trelawney: I couldn't.
coppelius: What lunacy! Why would you leave such a dangerous machine intact?!
trelawney: Because, it was my hope of turning the clocks back; to recover the only thing that should ever have mattered in my life ... my son, Nigel.
coppelius: Mercy me, Anthony ... you've risked the entire legacy of the Smith Institute by not destroying that device!
trelawney: I know. I knew the danger a year ago when Professor Smith wrote me to warn that Vincent was back. But even then I couldn't do it ...
trelawney: Instead, I faked my own death to hide from Vincent ...
trelawney: ... I changed the train's call code so that he couldn't come here ...
trelawney: ... And then I retreated up to this cold mountaintop to guard the Apparatus ... just in case.
nathan: What about that photograph with the note you sent to Nigel? "A Stitch in Time Saves Nine"?
trelawney: Indeed. I changed the train's call code to spell "Nigel Come", and then encrypted those letters in my note. I hoped he'd understand and come find me here ...
trelawney: You see, I thought that if Nigel and I could establish a future together, then I'd finally be able to let go of the past ...
trelawney: Together with my son, I could finally dismantle the Apparatus!
trelawney: And the stitch in time that brought us back together would save the legacy of the Smith Institute and its nine founding members.
trelawney: And for me, I'd finally be able to tell Nigel that ... that I'm sorry.
coppelius: Well I'm sorry to tell you this, Anthony, but Vincent is undoubtedly up there on top of Mount Misery right now ...
trelawney: What? No ... how could he get here? I changed the train code!
slappy: He stole my Zeppelin ... and he kidnapped Nigel, your son. Nigel came to Ravenhollow to handle your estate Anthony, and he fell right in Vincent's trap.
trelawney: No!
coppelius: And if I had to guess, Anthony, then I'd say Vincent's arrival here is the reason you were locked in that elevator.
trelawney: Nigel!
trelawney: I'm responsible ... I am responsible for all this ...
Fix #noun# with #item# power junction (open)
nathan: No. That would probably kill me ... the cable's insulation is almost completely gone.
nathan: I wonder if there's some way to insulate this power connector?
Fix #noun# with #item# power junction (open)
nathan: These loose electrical components won't do much by themselves ...
nathan: I need to assemble them into an insulated power connector.
Fix #noun# with #item# power junction (open)
nathan: Good idea, but this handle bar is missing the necessary connectors for those power sockets.
Look at power junction (active)
nathan: It seems to be the main power junction for this whole train station.
nathan: I've repaired the power connection and brought the station online.
disconnect power junction (active)
nathan: No. I risked electrocution just trying to activate this power junction.
nathan: I think I'll stop tampering with it while I'm ahead ... and alive.
elevator
Look at elevator (off)
nathan: That's the elevator leading up to the lab on top of Mount Misery. I wonder if Vincent and Nigel are up there now?
Use elevator (off)
nathan: As long as the elevator has no power, I can't use it.
Look at elevator (off2)
nathan: The power is still down. I guess the door mechanism was only activated by a short power burst when I fixed the grid.
coppelius
Look at Dr. Coppelius (main)
nathan: It feels like only yesterday when I first met Nora and Dr. Coppelius in that wheat field near his house.
Talk to Dr. Coppelius (main)
nathan: Dr. Coppelius, what should I do now?
coppelius: Nathan, you must find a way to draw as much power as possible away from the laboratory.
coppelius: If we can consume enough power down here in the station, then we'll destabilize Vincent's Time Rift.
endgame Dr. Coppelius (step2)
nathan: I did it! I've activated all devices down here, so the station should be drawing significant energy away from the Apparatus.
coppelius: Very good. That should destabilize Vincent's Time Rift.
nora: I just hope we're not too late ...
coppelius: There's only one way to find out. It's time to confront Vincent.
slappy: I'll stay down here with Anthony ... we'll come after you in a minute.
slappy
Look at Dr. LeMue LaFayette (main)
nathan: Dr. LeMue-LaFayette looks relaxed, but I'll bet he's secretly worried about Nigel.
Talk to Dr. LeMue LaFayette (main)
nathan: Do you have any idea what I can do to bring the power back on?
slappy: You'll have to find where the grid is damaged, and then fix the short.
slappy: After that, you should be able to manage the station's power flow within the control booth.
Talk to Dr. LeMue LaFayette (turned)
nathan: Dr. LeMue-LaFayette, what do I need to do now?
slappy: You should reroute all energy from the lightning collectors into this station, and then draw enough power to destabilize Vincent's Rift!
nora
Look at Nora (main)
nathan: I can't believe it ... Nora has a mechanical heart, she's traveled through time, AND she doesn't seem to be freezing up here.
Talk to Nora (main)
nathan: There's no time for chit-chat. We need to stop Vincent.
trelawney
Look at Dr. Anthony Trelawney (sit)
nathan: Dr. Trelawney looks like he's given up hope.
Talk to Dr. Anthony Trelawney (sit)
nathan: Dr. Trelawney, is there a way we can reach the mountaintop lab?
trelawney: Yes, please help Nigel ... Here, take this key to the station's control booth.
trelawney: Inside that booth is the station's power control panel. You can use that panel to activate the elevator.
coppelius: Wait ... with the elevator is powered down, does that mean Vincent has channeled all of the station's power into his Rift?
trelawney: I'm afraid so. He must be channeling power directly from the lightning collectors ... There's no stopping him!
coppelius: Ah ha ... but maybe there is.
coppelius: If we could activate enough devices down here in the station, then we may draw off enough power to destabilize his Rift.
slappy: Bravo, Coppelius! That's a brilliant idea ... an unstable Rift would warp Vincent into oblivion!
coppelius: Indeed. Nathan? It's time to fulfill your potential ... we need to draw power away from that Rift!
coppelius: You'll need to go outside and manually flip the lightning collectors' routing switches to divert their power into the station.
coppelius: After that, use the power control panel to draw as much energy as possible away from the laboratory upstairs.
nathan: Okay, I guess I have work to do ...
Talk to Dr. Anthony Trelawney (sit2)
nathan: Dr. Trelawney?
nathan: I guess I should leave him alone for now.
rations1
Look at food rations (take)
nathan: Apparently this was the food supply for anyone working up here at this facility...
nathan: Let's hope they liked noodles.
Pick up food rations (take)
nathan: Yum! I love instant noodles.
Pick up food rations (empty)
nathan: I'd better not. I've already taken enough of the food supply.
boothwindow
Look at booth window (main)
nathan: There seems to be some kind of control panel in there.
Break glass of booth window (main)
nathan: No. I'd probably just cut myself on the glass.
dia1
Look at (main)
slappy: Mh. No sign of Vincent or the others ...
slappy: All clear! You can come over here.
nathan: It's pretty cold up here.
slappy: We're right at the summit of Mount Misery.
nora: This place feels strange ...
nathan: I know what you mean. I get the feeling that someone is watching us ...
coppelius: It's just your imagination ... there hasn't been a soul up here in over six years.
nora: All the lights around here are out ...
coppelius: Yes, the power grid is down.
slappy: That means the elevator leading to the test site above us isn't working either.
coppelius: Nathan, we have to find a way to restore the power. We'll need to use the elevator to access the laboratory upstairs. I'm sure Vincent is there ...
stationsign
Look at sign (main)
nathan: Station TRA. Time Rift Apparatus.
nathan: I wonder how many people know about this place?
