Stamping and shivering on the doorstep, your foggy breath blustering about in the night wind, you knock at the heavy door of Dr. Veebris, a (slightly) eccentric scientist. "Hello!" he cries, delighted to see you. "Come in out of that nasty weather! Let me SHOW you something!" You follow the cheerful, bustling fellow to his machinery-crammed lab. Veebris flings out a hand at a huge, imposing piece of equipment he has never named for you before. "There, my friend! The Interdimensional Warp Transporter -- if it works! I've been perspiring over this brainchild for years, and I think I'm close, very close to a breakthrough." Looking at you, he startles as if his manners just hit him. "You're still shivering, my friend! May I get you something hot to drink?" You nod. Emphatically! Left alone in the lab, amidst blinking lights and humming -- you really know you shouldn't, but you press an Interdimensional Warp Transporter button. Mmmmm--pzzzzzzZZap! A rectangle snaps into existence like a glowing doorway in the north wall! Cautiously, you touch the rectangle -- and your hand passes right through the once-solid sheetrock wall! END_INTRO
