headline    :Introduction

text capt   :Now that we've beamed our drone
text capt   :down to the planet's surface,
text capt   :it seems like a good time to 
text capt   :explain how it works, C5-PX!

text robo   :The drone can be moved to the
text robo   :left and right with the mouse.
text robo   :Left-clicking with the mouse 
text robo   :will launch the crystals upwards.

text capt   :What do we need to watch out for?

text robo   :The crystals need to be
text robo   :arranged side-by-side.
text robo   :When three with the same color
text robo   :line up, they'll be cleared.

text capt   :And if one crystal hits another
text capt   :crystal on the pointy bit?

text robo   :Then it will be destroyed
text robo   :and we will lose energy.

text robo   :Additional data: The crystals
text robo   :on the drone can be swapped
text robo   :using the right mouse button.

text capt   :All right – let's get to it!
text capt   :Let's clear all the crystals.

text robo   :One moment, captain. We're 
text robo   :currently in action mode.
text robo   :The crystals will slowly fall
text robo   :towards the bottom of the screen.

text capt   :Is that a bad thing?

text robo   :It may be – as soon as one
text robo   :of the crystals touches the
text robo   :laser line, we will lose.

headline    :The Energy Bar and the Spinner

text capt   :Looks like we've really collected
text capt   :quite a bit of energy. Anything
text capt   :special that we can do with it?

text robo   :Yes, captain – the energy we collect
text robo   :is indicated on the left.
text robo   :Our first power-up is the spinner.

text capt   :How do we use this spinner-thing?

text robo   :Clicking on the spinner symbol
text robo   :will load a spinner
text robo   :on the drone.

text capt   :Aha! And then we can use it
text capt   :to shoot crystals, right?

text robo   :Correct. And if the spinner strikes
text robo   :an Aquanium crystal, it 
text robo   :will change its color.

headline    :Torpedo Power-Up

text capt   :Well, well, well – looks like we've
text capt   :unlocked an interesting new toy!

text robo   :I would strongly advise you NOT
text robo   :to allow anyone to play with a
text robo   :photon torpedo.
text robo   :The explosive power of this...

text capt   :It was just a joke, C5-PX – go on!

text robo   :Very well then: Clicking on the
text robo   :torpedo symbol will load a
text robo   :torpedo on the drone.
text robo   :It will blow up any crystals
text robo   :it hits on impact.

text capt   :That was an excellent summary,
text capt   :C5-PX – thank you!

headline    :Lightning Symbols

text capt   :Look, there's a lightning bolt
text capt   :on that crystal... What's it mean?

text robo   :In nearly every earthly and
text robo   :extraterrestrial culture, lightning
text robo   :is a symbol of energy and strength.

text capt   :And what does it mean when there's
text capt   :lightning on an Aquanium crystal?

text robo   :Unfortunately, my answer to that
text robo   :question is only 65.4 % accurate.

text capt   :I treasure your every word, C5...

text robo   :Either we clear it in the normal way
text robo   :or we hit it right on the tip
text robo   :and make it explode, which will also
text robo   :destroy any other crystals
text robo   :that are nearby.

headline    :XXL Crystals

text capt   :Wow, what's that?!

text robo   :Based on spectrum analysis, I 
text robo   :can say with certainty that
text robo   :they are large
text robo   :Aquanium crystals.

text capt   :I can see for myself that
text capt   :they're big crystals!
text capt   :But what do we do with them?

text robo   :A precise answer is impossible...

text capt   :Then give me the best you've got!

text robo   :Very well: I suspect that,
text robo   :when large crystals are cleared,
text robo   :the excess energy manifests 
text robo   :itself in the form of smaller
text robo   :crystals.

text capt   :But you're not sure?

text robo   :Only about 98.7% sure.
text robo   :But that's the best I've got.

headline    :Arrow Symbols

text capt   :Oh, I've spotted a new
text capt   :symbol on a crystal...

text robo   :This crystal has a highly
text robo   :unusual quantum signature.
text robo   :It fluctuates constantly.

text capt   :Incredible! Is there any way 
text capt   :we can make use of it?

text robo   :A collision with another
text robo   :crystal could cause it
text robo   :stabilize its color profile.

text capt   :It will take on the color of
text capt   :the crystal it collides with?

text robo   :Yes, and it will do so each time
text robo   :there is a collision. We can
text robo   :continually change the color.

headline    :Game Time and Bonus Levels

text robo   :Captain, I must draw your
text robo   :attention to something.

text capt   :Spit it out!

text robo   :I assure you, I was not 
text robo   :trying to eat it!

text capt   :No, I mean – what did
text capt   :you want to show me?

text robo   :The game time. The faster
text robo   :we complete a game, the
text robo   :better our reward.

text capt   :I noticed...

text robo   :...and earning good rewards
text robo   :will unlock bonus games.
text robo   :Did you notice that too?

headline    :Asteroid Symbols

text capt   :I see a new symbol
text capt   :on a crystal.

text robo   :It's a fascinating
text robo   :representation of
text robo   :an asteroid.

text capt   :What do you think?
text capt   :What's it mean?

text robo   :It appears to indicate that
text robo   :clearing such crystals will
text robo   :release an asteroid.

text capt   :And then we'll be crushed?

text robo   :Not at all. It will actually be
text robo   :quite helpful. I suspect the
text robo   :asteroid will collide
text robo   :with one of the crystals.

headline    :Combos

text robo   :Captain, have you noticed
text robo   :that we receive more points
text robo   :if we quickly clear crystals
text robo   :in a short period of time?

text capt   :I have! You're talking about combos.
text capt   :The bigger the group that we clear
text capt   :and the faster that we do it,
text capt   :the more points we get.

text robo   :I think that I need to run
text robo   :a full system diagnostic.

text capt   :Are you not feeling well?

text robo   :You explained something to me
text robo   :and all I could do was listen.

text capt   :Hey, it happens to all of us...

headline    :Coordinates Puzzle

text capt   :So, it looks like we need
text capt   :to find the new coordinates.

text robo   :Correct. The objects in the
text robo   :cells must be rearranged
text robo   :to create groups of three
text robo   :of the same object.

text capt   :And I guess those groups of 
text capt   :three will then be cleared?

text robo   :Correct! And if the group is
text robo   :cleared from a yellow tile,
text robo   :it will break and
text robo   :reveal part of the
text robo   :coordinates.

text capt   :Once all the yellow tiles
text capt   :have been destroyed,
text capt   :we'll have the coordinates.

headline    :Flash Power-Up

text capt   :Were you able to integrate Stu's
text capt   :flash technology in the drones?

text robo   :Affirmative!
text robo   :We now have a third power-up
text robo   :in our arsenal.

text capt   :Good work!
text capt   :But... How do we use it?

text robo   :Clicking on the flash symbol
text robo   :will load a flash
text robo   :on the drone. 
text robo   :Once fired, it will clear
text robo   :a path through the crystals.

text capt   :Not bad!

text robo   :It's powerful, yes, but it
text robo   :also requires a lot of energy.

headline    :Rainbow Games

text capt   :Look, C5-PX!
text capt   :Crystals in the all the
text capt   :colors of the rainbow.
text capt   :What a sight.
text capt   :It's beautiful, isn't it?

text robo   :I must admit, captain
text robo   :it does have a certain
text robo   :aesthetic charm.

text capt   :They're glowing, too. Do
text capt   :they have more energy in
text capt   :this formation?

text robo   :They do indeed! The crystals
text robo   :seem to possesses a wealth of
text robo   :energy when they are arranged
text robo   :in a rainbow formation.

headline    :Asteroids

text capt   :Godric installed a tractor beam
text capt   :on our ship.
text capt   :It's really sucking up a
text capt   :lot of energy, though...
text capt   :Are you sure it's working right?

text robo   :It makes sense if you think
text robo   :about it. The beam can move
text robo   :asteroids – very energy intensive.

text capt   :And then these asteroids wind up
text capt   :orbiting around us instead?

text robo   :I'm not altogether certain that
text robo   :that's the point of the power-up...
text robo   :Rather, the asteroids then
text robo   :destroy some of the crystals.
text robo   :That makes our work much easier.

headline    :Mix Crystals

text capt   :C5-PX, are you seeing
text capt   :what I'm seeing?

text robo   :Captain, is this really an 
text robo   :appropriate time for such games?
text robo   :But if you really want to play...

text capt   :Come on, I'm serious! Just 
text capt   :tell me what you see.

text robo   :I see crystals comprised of
text robo   :two different colors,
text robo   :captain.

text capt   :And what do we do with them?

text robo   :I am certain that these crystals
text robo   :can be cleared when juxtaposed
text robo   :with crystals of either color.
text robo   :It gives us more options.

headline    :Warp Power-Up

text capt   :C5-PX, can you explain how
text capt   :Ved's warp weapon works?

text robo   :Captain, according to the laws 
text robo   :of physics, Ved's weapon
text robo   :shouldn't work at all.

text capt   :But Ved demonstrated it 
text capt   :for us, didn't he?

text robo   :True. When the warp weapon
text robo   :is used, all the remaining
text robo   :crystals are zapped away.

text capt   :So the weapon can win the game?

text robo   :Indeed it can! But using
text robo   :the warp weapon costs a great
text robo   :deal of energy, so we'll only 
text robo   :be able to use it sparingly.
