Pyramid

A shimmer of swirling white light, 
fiber optic cable is strewn everywhere, 
this place is obviously under construction!
One of the cables has a head jack. 
You are attracted to it...
Obvious exits: down to The Lower 
Depths of the Pyramid
You see Head jack, Mummy, Kaiada, Flame's slate, 
Golden Coin, Flame's New Year postcard, and rope here.

examine kaiada
Kaiada (aka #3128 and Kaiada)
Owned by Flame.
It looks at you with a dark and brooding intelligence.  
You see a large bird with iridescent copper 
feathers that seems to shimmer in the light. 
It's piercing eyes constantly shifting color and brightness.  
Its talons are adorned with precious metals and jewels. 
The dark bird holds centuries in its devestating mind, 
and it is no untried veteran of the Arts. 
As you watch, a flickering aura blazes around it, 
and where there was a bird, now a panther, 
and now a wolf, and once more a silent evil bird... 
Kaiada looks at you inquisitively with eyes 
of utter maddness and shifts spasmodically 
through a hundred different shapes in 
recognition of you, before losing interest 
and wandering away...

examine Head jack
Head jack (aka #3757, Head jack, and jack)
Owned by Flame.
A small plug, just the right size to fit in the 
socket at the bottom of your neck.        
Perhaps you should PLUGIN jack...
You plug in the head jack and your body suddenly 
disintegrates into a million swirling bits, 
slowly you reform and mysteriously appear in...

You feel great inner calm after leaving the 
comforts & beauty here.
The Lower Depths of the Pyramid
A dark and mysterious room, the walls are
covered with hieroglyphics.  You can read them or 
write your own if you like...
You see rats scampering between the shadows on the floor...
You hear Steve Vai playing loudly in the background.
Iping lurks in the corner guarding the Treasure Room entrance.
Obvious exits: up to Pyramid
You see Hieroglyphic Wall, Flame's Sword, 
and Sarcophagus here.

examine sarcophagus
Sarcophagus
You see a golden liquid crystal sarcophagus 
with morphing fractal.
The details are kinda hazy but you are no 
longer where once you had been.

@go treasure room
Treasure Room
You see a dusty white light pour across the 
Pharoahs treasures from the small entryway, 
through which you just passed.
As your eyes become accustomed to your 
surroundings, you see soft velvet pillows and 
carpets amist piles of prescious gems and jewels.
Opals, azures, diamonds, emeralds, 
rubies and pearls blend and shape the beams 
of light into a thousand brilliant hues.  
The scent of sweet spices and jasmine fill the air.
Torches softly burn in the corners of the room, 
creating dancing shadows over the glistening 
jewels and your body...
The walls of the room are a golden liquid 
crystal, gently morphing different images, 
every so often you see a beautiful mirror 
framed in silver filigree.
Obvious exits: east to The Lower Depths of the 
Pyramid and smoke to Hooka
You see Torch and Pieter here.


examine Torch
Torch (aka #8333 and Torch)
Owned by Flame.
A medieval torch with a bright flame. 
The handle is carved with old Norse symbols.
Research purpose:
The emissary concept explores the notion of 
remote interaction and
communication in the MOO environment.  
The emissary is a 'physical' artifact 
(as distinguished from a disembodied 'page'); 
as such it has 'presence', much as a real player does.  
Although eavesdropping and other sneaky 
behaviors are possible, the emissary is intended 
to be a forthright and friendly 
representative of its owner. Next
