In the Dark

1. Not usually.
2. Don't continue until you have a cup of tea.
3. Don't continue until you actually have real tea, not merely Advanced Tea Substitute (ATS).
4. Have you ever examined the cup of tea?
5. This response indicates that the tea is a better source of Brownian Motion for the Improbability Drive setup than the ATS. Try it.
6. Notice anything different about Dark when you use tea instead of ATS?
7. For one thing, a sense is missing right away, rather than after three WAITs.
8. More importantly, when you have used tea as a Brownian source, a different sense will be missing each time you WAIT. Thus, with tea, you can "control Dark."
9. There are a total of eight exits from Dark. Taste never goes away, so there are two Dark exits for each missing sense.
10. There is a way to differentiate between each pair.
11. For example, when feel is missing, and you type FEEL DARK, you will be told that it feels "warm and wet and squishy," in which case your current Dark exit is Inside the Sperm Whale. When the response is "cold and wet and squishy," then tasting the liquid will take you to the Living Room of the party. When you are controlling dark, and have determined your current exit as in the previous example, and you don't want to go there, simply WAIT and you will be given a new missing sense and a corresponding new exit. NOTE: You will never get the whale exit unless you are using real tea for your Brownian Source.
12. When smell disappears: If the object is "being waved under your nose," then the exit will be the Vogon Hold. If the object is "waving under your nose," the exit is the Lair of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal.
13. When hearing is missing: If the sound of the star drive is "coming from far above you," then your exit would be Entry Bay Number Two of the Heart of Gold. If it is "coming from far below you," then your exit would be the War Chamber of the battle fleet.
