Inventory

You don't get any inventory, but we'll give an honorable mention to the Fish-Bot 2000, aka the FB2000, which you're driving. It contains:

• monitors.
• controls. Collectively, all the buttons, dials, and levers that get mentioned when relevant. You push buttons, turn dials, and pull levers. Some controls are used automatically in the narrative.
• the "Assassinate" button. Active when you're near the ambassador.
• the "Dance" button. Active in the ballroom.
• the "Declaim" button. Automatically used when you assassinate the ambassador.
• the "Escape" lever. Active in the ballroom.
• the "Fuel" button. Active in the ballroom; its effect is to make the bot eat some food.
• the "Kung-Fu" button. Active when you're on the landing.
• the "Leave" lever. Active when you're near the ambassador.
• the "Mingle" dial. Active when you first enter the ballroom.
• the "Romance" lever. Active after you've danced once.
• the "Self-Destruct" button. Automatically used when you go south from the foyer.
• the "Spurn" dial. Active after you've danced once.
