World Wide Web Laboratory

You enter a semi-dark room with two rows of benches and numerous charts and diagrams all over the walls. Along the benches mysterious equipment is setup, along with more of the ``electronic scribes'' you saw in the foyer of the castle.

Two doors are in the room, one leading into the Corridor while another leads the room next door, has a sign saying ``Graphics Laboratory'', which you think may be closely related to this room.

In the middle of the room a sign hangs from the ceiling..

reetings. You are in the castle WWW laboratory, where I often spend hours trying to determine the nature of the ``Great Web'' and its connection to the parallel dimension of science and computing.
Please feel feel to wander around looking at the work currently in progress, all equipment is protected through the use of magical fields so you can not destroy anything.

Taking a quick look some of the diagrams on the wall you see that they contain a large number of circles labeld ``beach_SE.html'' and ``fm_gkewnd.shtml'' connected together by an intricate set of lines and arrows. Brief cryptic notes around the borders of the charts do not seem to make any sense whatsoever.

Looking over the ``elecrtonic scribes'' you discover...

Next to the door into the corridor you find another of the teleport pentagrams you saw earlier. A hand written sign on the wall above the pentagram says..

''Beam me up, Scotty!''

You can...: Exit into the corridor; Go through the door to the Graphics Lab; Step onto the Teleport Pentagram
