Below Level Seven

1. I hate to belabor the point, but any moment now, a godzillion alien pyramids will be launched from the Factory. Within a few days, each will find a host ship or station, and create a godzillion more alien pyramids. By the end of the month, humanity will be interstellar DUST! To make matters worse, you've got about three winks of an eye left to live.
2. You must destroy that pyramid! But Floyd won't let you get to the pedestal.
3. You've got to admit that Floyd hasn't been himself lately.
4. As hard as it is, you've got to shoot Floyd with the zapgun. It's him or the galaxy. Your choice.
5. Once you've shot Floyd, you've got to destroy the pyramid. But even zapguns are useless against its awesome powers!!!
6. You're not going to know what to do now unless you've deciphered the alien dot writing. See the question about that.
7. To paraphrase, the pyramids emanations are stopped by "element 78."
8. Do you know how to read a Period Table of the Elements?
9. If not, the element with an atomic number of 78 is...platinum! See the question about the platinum detector.
