                            THE OUTPOST



THIS TUTORIAL WILL BE DIVIDED INTO TWO SEPERATE PARTS:  THE FIRST
BEING  A GENERAL OUTLINE FOR SOLVING DEADLINE, THE SECOND BEING A
DETAILED DESCRIPTION ON HOW TO SOLVE IT. 


                  SOME GENERAL HINTS ABOUT DEADLINE

[1] ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND THAT YOU ARE  NOT  LIMITED  TO  TWO  WORD
COMMANDS, LET YOURSELF GO AND BE CREATIVE! 

[2]  YOU  HAVE  THE  ABILITY  TO  INTERACT WITH PEOPLE AS WELL AS
OBJECTS. 

[3] ALWAYS TRY TO GET A FEEL FOR THE VOCABULARY OF  AN  ADVENTURE
BY  TYPING  WORDS EXTEMPERANIOUSLY. IN THIS WAY YOU CAN SOMETIMES
GET THE IDEA OF THE VOCABULARY NEEDED. 


                       HOW TO SOLVE DEADLINE
                       ---------------------


 ALL COMMANDS ARE IN "QUOTES" AND ALL DIRECTIONAL  MOVES  ARE  IN
[BRACKETS]. 

FROM  THE  FRONT PATH OF THE ROBNER'S ESTATE PROCEED [N]. NOW YOU
SHOULD BE AT THE FRONT DOOR OF THE HOUSE. TYPE  'OPEN  DOOR"  AND
THEN  PROCEED  [N] AGAIN.  THIS WILL PLACE YOU WITHIN THE ESTATE.
THEN GO [N,N,E,] THEN "CLIMB STAIRS" THIS WILL PLACE YOU  AT  THE
SECOND LEVEL OF THE ESTATE. THEN GO [W,W,W,W,N].  THIS WILL PLACE
YOU  IN THE LIBRARY TO DO YOUR DETECTIVE WORK.  FIRST "LOOK RUG".
YOU WILL SEE MUD SPOTS (CRUCIAL FOR THE ARREST).  THEN "TAKE  CUP
AND  PAD  AND  CALENDAR  AND PENCIL".  NOW "RUB PENCIL ON PAPER".
AFTER HAVING  DONE  THIS,  "TURN  PAGE  ON  CALENDAR"  AND  "READ
CALENDAR".   AFTER  HAVING  DONE THIS, "OPEN BALCONY DOOR" AND GO
[E].  THIS WILL PLACE YOU ON THE BALCONY.  "LOOK  RAILING"  (THIS
WILL   CONFIRM   OUR   MUD  THEORY).   HAVING  DONE  ALL  OF  THE
ABOVE-PROCEDE, [S,E,E,E,E,D,D,W,S,S].  THIS WILL PLACE YOU AT THE
FRONT DOOR AGAIN. NOW GO [NW,S,S,E,S,E,SE].  THIS WILL BRING  YOU
TO  THE SHED (MORE DETECTIVE WORK).  NOW, "LOOK LADDER" (MORE MUD
AGAIN-I THINK IT IS SAFE TO ASSUME THAT  THE  MURDERER  USED  THE
LADDER TO ENTER THROUGH THE BALCONY AND THEN SOMEHOW(?)

MURDERED  OUR DEAR FRIEND MR.ROBNER).  NOW THIS HAVING BEEN DONE,
RETURN TO THE FRONT DOOR. [NW,W,N,W,N,N,SE].  NOW WE HAVE TO TREK
ALL THE WAY UPSTAIRS AGAIN!.  GO [N,N,E,U,U,N,N] YOU  SHOULD  NOW
BE  IN  DUNBAR"S BATHROOM.  TYPE "LOOK LOBO" (INTERESTING, HEH?).
NOW GO ALL THE WAY DOWNSTAIRS AGAIN.  [S,S,S,D,D,W,S,S] YOU  WILL
BE  AT  THE  FRONT DOOR AGAIN.  NOW YOU HAVE TIME TO TAKE A REST.
TYPE "WAIT TILL 11:30".  IT SHOULD NOW BE 11:31.  NOW WE HAVE  TO
HUNT  DOWN MR.MCNABB.  GO TO THE ORCHARD [E,NE,N]. (NOTE:  DUE TO
THE NATURE OF DEADLINE, MCNABB MIGHT NOT BE THERE.  IF HE IS NOT,
HUNT HIM DOWN! - IT DOESN"T MATTER  WHERE  YOU  FIND  HIM).  ONCE
MCNABB  HAS  BEEN  LOCATED  SAY "HEY MCNABB"/CR/ "WHAT IS WRONG".
AFTER THIS FOLLOW HIM.  HE WILL THEN POINT OUT TO YOU  TWO  HOLES
IN  HIS  ROSE GARDEN. YOU THEN SAY "LOOK HOLES" (MORE MUD THEORY)
AND THEN "DIG GROUND".  THEN WITH YOUR NEW  FOUND  TREASURE  TYPE
"ANALYZE  FRAGMENT  FOR  LOBLO".   NOW  WE HAVE TO CATCH THE WILL
READING.  GO [N,N,SE,S,SW,W,S].  YOU WILL BE AT  THE  FRONT  DOOR
ONCE  AGAIN.  NOW  GO  [N,N,W]  AND WAIT FOR THE WILL TO BE READ.
AFTER  THAT  SAY  "HEY  GEORGE".   THEN  TYPE  "SHOW  GEORGE  THE
CALENDAR".   HE  WILL  PANIC  AND RUN UPSTAIRS.  FOLLOW HIM!!  HE
THEN WILL DUCK INTO HIS ROOM AND YOU  GO  [W,W,N,N].   THIS  WILL
PLACE  YOU  IN  THE  LIBRARY"S  BALCONY.  NOW TYPE "WAIT 10 MIN".
ONCE GEORGE ENTERS THE ROOM WAIT FOR ABOUT 2 MIN  AND  THEN  [S],
"LOOK  BOOKCASE",  "PRESS  BUTTON", "GET WILL", "LOOK SAFE", "GET
PAPERS",   "READ   PAPERS"   THEN   GO   TO   THE   LIVING   ROOM
[S,S,E,E,E,E,D,D,E,E]  AND  SAY "HEY BAXTER", "WHAT ABOUT FOCUS",
"SHOW FOCUS TO BAXTER", "HEY DUNBAR", "SHOW FOCUS PAPERS",  "WHAT
ABOUT  FOCUS".   THEN  FOLLOW  DUNBAR  CLOSELY.  ONCE OUTSIDE THE
HOUSE SHE WILL DROP A PIECE OF PAPER.  "GET PAPER", "READ  PAPER"
THEN  CONTINUE  FOLLOWING  HER.   ONCE YOU CATCH UP, ASK HER "HEY
DUNBAR", "SHOW PAPER TO DUNBAR".  THEN MAKE TRACKS FOR THE  SHED.
[E,E,SE].   WAIT  FOR BAXTER.  ONCE DUNBAR AND BAXTER ARE PRESENT
TYPE "ARREST BAXTER AND DUNBAR"
