AS YOU STUMBLE from the busy highway with bright neon pages, you see a place of solitude. Curious, you venture from the formless mass of information to a place of fun and subtle humor. As you walk along the path, you notice a few others quickly moving about their business. A old man walks up to you wearing a dark cloak.

"And where would you like to travel today, master?" he asks.

You respond:

• Get out of my way, you stupid old geezer!
• What are you talking about, old-timer?
• Huh?
• What do you suggest?
• Who is this Xar, and who does he work for?
