The Computer...and Beyond

How do I get past the giant microbe?

  1. Try shooting it with the laser.
  2. That won't have any effect while the laser is set to 1, of course.
  3. If you don't keep shooting the microbe, it will get close enough to eat you.
  4. Repeated shootings of the microbe merely hold it at bay, and sooner or later you're killed when sector 384 comes to life.
  5. Has the microbe shown interest in anything besides you?
  6. The microbe is attracted to the warmth of the laser.
  7. When the laser gets warm enough, throw it over the edge of the strip, into the void below. The microbe will leap after it.
