[b]Hampus the Red, Meta-Ridley's Ship's Engine Room's Control Center[/b]

Hampus stared deeply into the console in front of him. When he was told that he'd be working in the engine room, he expected to be hauling coal and maintaining valves, not... whatever [i]this[/i] is! Fortunately, Hampus had a bit of a guide in the form of a friendly engineer willing to explain the console's working for him.

"Alright, let's see... you press this tiny red button to pulse the radiation emitters. If you don't do that every five or so minutes, the core's going to go prompt-critical, and... well, it won't be very comfortable for either of us. Now, if the core's color changes to [i]yellow[/i], you'll have to turn this switch down [i]here[/i], that's the particle accelerator. Uh, now that should be all you need for right now, just remember that, uh... sometimes, we get unwanted visitors. They're these little green naked things we like to call Gremlins, and they're none too nice. Now, normally they don't bother you much, but if they try and get in close, you're going to want to defend yourself. See, if they managed to actually [i]catch[/i] you, they're going to... well, we haven't seen much of what happens, but security footage suggests that they'll toss you into the engine, for some reason. So... that should be it for your tutorial, uh, [i]good luck![/i]"

Hampus leaned over the console and wiped a hand across his sweaty forehead. Today was just about ready to begin, it seemed.
