"SWEEVO," said the kindly old Robo-Master, gnashing his metallic teeth, "I
didn't expect you back so soon... so, go and clean out the Deathbowl!"
Wearily, Sweevo reached for his copy of the Galactic Aquarist and read:
"The gigantic planetary aquarium called DEATHBOWL is now so polluted that the
only remedy is to completely empty it of water by pulling out each of the
four main plugs. Each plug is activated by special objects, indicated by the
surrounding floor plates. These objects may just be lying around, although
guarded, or they may be part of one of the inhabitants, which must therefore
be eliminated - luckily, weapons, with limited ammo, may be found in abundance.
The Deathbowl is constructed of several levels - downward access is by
whirlpools, upward access by bubbles - some bubbles burst early, which is
useful!
NOTE: It is important that the plugs are pulled in the correct seqence,
otherwise an inaccessible level will be created.
SPECIAL NOTE: For mechanical lifeforms: Rusting commences on contact with
water - this can be reversed, temporarily, by an intake of oil.
