Well, surprisingly enough with my horrible sense of direction, I’ve managed to get to four out of five servers and rebooted them successfully–my original task. But I have not as yet stumbled upon the final server which is somewhere in the center of the city I would think, since I’ve walked the perimeter. However, in taking the direction I took, I notice that the servers I came upon were in the sequence originally given to me in the instructions. And, the server I’ve not come across yet is smack dab in the middle. Methinks it is time to backtrack, losing precious time because I probably did not stop and look around fully.
Another thing, out of many of the people that I’ve run into, there is no conversation–although I overheard one taking place and likely should have checked that out further to find the people involved. It sounded like a revelation of deeper plot beyond my specified task, and it may have been either crucial to the story, to my success, or to open up further possibilities of adventure.
There was also the time I did get curious enough to stop and press a button, but was left holding Ben Franklin’s stick. I took it along with me.
I’m curious now about the title of this piece, Book and Volume, and wonder how it figures into the story. Nothing I’ve come across so far has struck me as a relative clue, and I suspect I’m missing a lot on my first go-round this game.
