IF YOU GO DOWN TO THE RUINS TODAY, YOU'RE SURE OF A BIG SURPRISE

by Hazed

There is new activity in the Martian ruins as some of the ancient machinery left behind by our enemies is working again.


The Martian Map

If you dare to venture into this dangerous area, you may find your way to the map room, where the map can now be operated. Figure out how to make it work and you will see it come to life and tell you... well you'll just have to try it and see.


Make Your Offerings on the Altar

Further into the ruins is the ruined temple, where many explorers have died by venturing into the passage under the altar and falling victim to the automated sacrifice machines left by the Martian priests. But now archeologists have discovered that the altar itself is a machine that receives offerings and, when it is satisfied, confers a blessing. The Martian religion was blood-thirsty so as well as the sacrifice under the altar, the offerings that were considered acceptable were... well, there's no delicate way of saying this... body parts. And not just any body parts, oh no: animal parts were rejected and only remains of sentient beings will do.

So in order to receive a blessing from this ancient machine, you have to scour the ruins for remains and bring three different offerings back to the altar. Should your gifts be considered sufficient, you will find all your ills are cured.

Which only leaves you with the problem of how to get out of the ruins safely!
