Walk up towards the helicopter to start things off.
Now pick up the left helicopter blade of the three that are laying on the ground in front of you. Click the helicopter blade in your inventory and use it on the helicopter door to pry it open, then enter the helicopter.
---------- Helicopter ----------
Take the knife, rope, bag and computer from the floor of the helicopter, then find the bag in your inventory and click unpack. This gets rid of the bag and gives you screwdriver, warm gloves, lighter and empty flask from inside.
Use the screwdriver on the white first-aid kit that's on the wall to take it, then unpack the first-aid kit [the same way you unpacked the bag] to get a flask of cleaning solution, adhesive plaster, a bandage and a tube of pills.
Use the knife next on the wires that are dangling from the broken panel by the fire extinguisher to get electric wires for your inventory.
There's nothing else for you to get inside the helicopter so click the large arrow in the top left corner to leave.
------- Outside -------
Find the computer in your inventory and click use to create a hotspot to the left of your inventory. Now you can click this black square whenever you need to use your computer.
Click it now and check the four tabs [documents, encyclopedia, mail, my photos] if you like, otherwise click the right side of the screen to walk to the next screen.
Use the helicopter blade with the large rock here to move it out of the way, then try to enter the cave. Ariane won't let you leave just yet though so check your computer and go to the mail section, then click the message with the subject "SOS". Read the message if you like, then click the icon with the green arrow below to send the message.
Find the lighter in your inventory now and click use to light it, then use your lighter on the cave to enter it and see a cutscene.
############################################################################### (C-02) THE FIRST CAMP ###############################################################################
Once Ariane stands up you should talk to the man [whose name is Adam] about the following topics:
Pick up the tip of bone beside you and use your flask on a hotspot in the water near the bridge to fill it. Use your [lit] lighter with the tip of bone to create a hard cranium, then click the bottom left corner of the screen to reach the next area.
Pick up the giant shell to the left of the mine, then use the hard cranium on the shell to make a prepared shell. There's nothing else for you on this screen so enter the mines in front of you.
----- Mines -----
Pick up the seals [purple thing] from a box to your right, then pick up an old chisel from a box by the seals [looks like a black line]. That's all you need from here for now so return outside.
------- Outside -------
Head back to the screen where you talked with Adam, then go right across the bridge to the next screen.
Take the cloth that's hanging off the debris at the very bottom of the screen, then pick up the piece of fossilized wood near the left end of the screen. Combine the old chisel and the piece of fossilized wood to make a chisel, then examine the pair of tombstones by the tree near the middle of the screen.
Click the left tombstone to get an encyclopedia entry [Ivan Platonov] for your computer, then combine the flask of cleaning solution with the cloth to make the wet cloth. Use the wet cloth on the right tombstone to reveal the writing on it, then click the writing to get another encyclopedia entry [Armand Latifère] for your computer.
Leave the tombstones and click the hotspot near the left end of the netting on the right side of the screen.
There's nothing on this screen for you yet so enter the crystal cave nearby.
------- Crystal -------
Head for the ladder at the back of the cave, then use it to get a closer view of the yellow crystal.
Find the warm gloves in your inventory and wear them [you'll be doing this MANY times during the game], then use the chisel on the piece of rough crystal to get it. Return to the front of the cave and examine the machine on your right.
Put the crystal on the stand by the right end of the machine, then use the left end of the machine as Ariane realizes that she's missing something. Leave the crystal in the stand if you want and exit the cave.
Click the hotspot near the rocks on your right to get some sand, then go back in the cave.
Return to the machine and use the sand with the small container on the bottom of the machine, then use the left side of the machine five times [or until the crystal becomes round]. Now pick up the piece of polished crystal from the stand and return to the mines.
Click the large wheel on the nearby wall to get a closer look at why it's not working.
It seems that the wiring needs to be fixed, but you've got all that's needed to get the job done. Put on your warm gloves and use the electric wire in your inventory on the wires for the wheel. The wires still need some work though, so put your warm gloves on again, then use your adhesive plaster on the wires to get the wheel moving again.
Now the lights in the mines are working so walk on to the next screen.
Approach the door up ahead and click the writing above it for the following clue:
"The Occident is the opposite of the Orient Our story begins as the sun rises Nature and technology go their separate ways First the one from whence we come Then the one that feeds us Followed by the one we mine Comes the time of transformation And of famed energy Finally those who guide us"
Back up and click on the door to start a puzzle with the seals that you picked up earlier.
Basically there are 12 slots arranged in a circle and 12 seals to be placed in the slots.
Starting from the highest slot on the right side of the doors and working clockwise:
#01 - Brown seal with picture of lighthouse #02 - Blue/green seal with picture of a hook over mountains #03 - Green seal with picture of test tube and molecular model #04 - Grey seal with picture of gears #05 - Gold seal with picture of scythe and wheat #06 - Dark blue seal with picture of waves/wind #07 - Orange seal with picture of drama masks #08 - Light blue seal with picture of a cloud and lightning #09 - Purple seal with picture of a needle, thread and clothes #10 - Purple seal with picture of a mountain #11 - Yellow seal with picture of wheat #12 - Red seal with picture of mother and baby
Once the seals have been placed properly as described above the doors open, then you can walk through them to new area beyond.
Click the giant mushrooms in the distance to get the mushrooms encyclopedia entry for your computer, then use your knife on the small patch of white mushrooms to get little mushrooms before going right to the next screen.
Continue down the path to pass this screen and the next one after Ariane makes a comment.
Have a look at the tower on this screen and start climbing it.
--------------- Wounded Soldier ---------------
Once you reach the top of the tower, talk to Lieutenant Lenkoff about these topics:
Place, Outside, Askiam, Mushrooms, Graves, Problem, Ease the pain, Pill
Pill only appears if you filled your flask with water BACK at the screen where you met Adam, if you haven't done this yet you should go do it and come back. Either way selecting pill gives the wounded soldier the pills to ease his pain.
Walk right to the next screen and check your computer for a new mail [Hi There!], then try to reply to it [green arrow] before climbing back down the tower.
Go right to the next screen and follow the path until you reach a bridge.
Examine the large stump between the bridge and the left mushroom, then use your knife on the stump to get some flat pieces of mushroom.
Work your way back to the tower and talk to Lenkoff about these topics:
Splint, Healed, Horn
Now go all the way back to the cave where you found the crystal for Adam.
Examine the machine that you used to polish the crystal earlier, then click the left end of it a couple times to get the bellows.
Now go all the way back to the tower and climb to the top, then go right a screen and walk to the giant horn nearby. Examine the giant horn and use your prepared shell with the tip of the horn, then use the bellows on the prepared shell. Go talk to Lenkoff now and pick the Horn Repaired topic for a cutscene.

There are seven points of interest in this puzzle, the mask in front of you and six poles around the giant hole. Let's say they are arranged like so:
# D C E Poles = A->F Rock/Mask = # F B A
When you examine two poles you can click a leaf beside them, which causes the leaf to cover up a hole on the pole. Once two poles are covered you can go to the rock with a mask in it and pull on the tongue to create a sound.
You need to play six different sounds in this way and play them in the correct order.
The order is as follows:
1st - F and C 2nd - D and B 3rd - A and C 4th - B and F 5th - E and D 6th - F and A
[It's worth mentioning that the order of two poles doesn't matter. I mean that F and C does the same thing as C and F.]
Once you've produced the six sounds in order you'll see a short cutscene.
--------------- Floating Garden ---------------
First of all SAVE YOUR GAME before you do anything here, because you really don't want to do the last puzzle all over again just to get back here.
Click on the beam of light that's shining a different colour [slightly green] than the others to walk over to it, then use your clean vegetable lense on the hole.
Go back down the path and talk to Adam about these topics:

Once you're done talking with Adam you'll end up down below with a note in your inventory. Read the note for the submarine code, then walk back through the village and head to the spot where Gustav landed his balloon. You should see a door in the rocks in the distance and a path leading up to it, take that path to get a new mail [Appointment!!] for your computer.
Enter the doors ahead of you and go down to the next screen, then enter the sub and talk to the man inside as he orders you off the ship.
Return to Payan Ouva in the village and approach the child beside him. The child should now follow you, so walk to the next screen to end up back at the submarine. Talk to the child to send them back to the village, then enter the submarine once more.
This time there's no one to order you off the ship, so go through the left door and examine the keypad. The code is in your computer documents, but it's also right here:
5731X
Once you've entered the code, simply go through the door and watch the cutscene.
Talk to the man [he's the captain of the submarine and his name is Angus] about these topics:
Place, Outside, Leave, Help, Entrance
You should have some seeds in your inventory now, so click the bottom left corner to reach the next screen. Walk over to the nearby mine cart and examine the green part of it, then click the switch to watch a short cutscene.
Go down to the next screen and talk to the larger miner [whose name is Maoro Fi] about these topics:

Walk up to the end of the warehouse next and click the bulletin board for a couple of computer documents [Mine Schedule, Mine Rules], then talk to the man [whose name is Kia Tran] about the following:
Place, Outside, War, Geyser
Head back down the elevator and talk to Firmin [pick Repaired], then calculate the calculation sheet in your inventory. Examine the control panel behind Firmin and click the first dial so a green light appears, then move the slider to 15. Do the same thing with the second dial as you move the slider to 37, then do the some thing while moving the slider to 8 for the last dial.

Go inside the building and talk to the man [whose name is Tâal Nadi] about the following:
Place, Outside, War, Geyser, Bares Mohul
Go down a screen and take the sheet of metal beside the nearby machine, then examine the control panel of that machine to start a puzzle.
- Move the white 8 left - Move the black 8 & 1 right - Move the white 8, 1 & 4 left - Move the black 8, 1, 4 & 6 right - Move the white 8, 1, 4, 6 & 2 left - Move the black 8, 1, 4, 6 & 2 right - Move the white 8, 1, 4, 6 & 2 left - Move the black 2, 6, 4 & 1 right - Move the white 2, 6 & 4 left - Move the black 2 & 6 right - Move the white 2 left
By using the moves above you can solve the puzzle, but there's nothing more for you to do in here so leave the building and return to the screen with the elevator.
Use the sheet of iron on the hotspot at the end of the pipe, then climb down the stairs just right of that hotspot. Click your machete next and use it on the red belt that's connecting two of the gears, then go back up the stairs and click the bottom right corner to reach the next screen.
Go up from this screen to reach Hutha Méo, then talk to him to get him to investigate your little act of sabotage. Now approach the geyser and click the door to climb inside.

This starts a short cutscene as you travel up to the platform above.
------- Choices -------
Enter the door near the bottom of the screen and wait for Armanda to leave, then exit this screen at the bottom left. Click the red flask on the next screen to get a phial of acid, then return to the previous screen and walk towards the bookcase.
Open the door to the bookcase and click the red book by the photograph to get a computer document [Diamonds Cuters], then go left a screen and click the wooden desk where Armanda was talking earlier to walk over to it.
Click the sheets that are visible at the end of the desk to get an important computer document [Balls Enigma], then get ready for an annoying puzzle.
----------- Ball Puzzle -----------
Now this puzzle can of course be solved a number of different ways like a lot of puzzles, but I find this way to be the easiest.
When using the scale, the following happens each time you click the middle of the scale.
Click #1 - First weighing Click #2 - Reset the scale Click #3 - Second weighing Click #4 - Reset the scale Click #5 - Third Weighing Click #6 - Cutscene that shows new set of balls being swapped in [puzzle resets!]
So Once you've done your third weighing and you've found the right ball DON'T click the scale or you'll reset the puzzle!
For all cases you start by putting balls 1-4 on the left and balls 5-8 on the right, then weighing them.
This means that balls 1-8 are normal balls and the one that's different is in balls 9-12.
So leave ball 12 behind and put 9 & 10 on the left scale and 11 on the right scale with ball 1 (one that we know is normal).
WEIGH THEM
A) If they're even once again, then the ball you want is the one that you left out (12) and you're done!
B) If they're different then you need to make a note of which side is heavy and which side is light. (eg: 9H, 10H, 11L | 12 you don't care about because you know it's normal.)
Weigh the two similar balls against each other (one in each side) and leave the third one out. [So in the example above the two similar balls are 9 and 10 because they were both on the heavy side, while 11 was the only ball on the light side. Remember that 12 was a normal ball, it just happened to be on the light side.]
1. If the two similar balls are equal, then the one that you left out (11) is the one that you want.
2. If the two similar balls are different then have a look at what you classified them as in the last step. If they were both H's (heavy) then the heavy ball is the one you want, if they were both L's (light), then it's the light ball that you want.

This means that the unique ball is among balls 1-8, mark balls 1-4 as light (eg: 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L) and balls 5-8 as heavy (eg: 5H, 6H, 7H, 8H).
Put 1L, 5H & 6H on the left side and 2L, 7H, 8H on the right side [as you leave out 3L and 4L].
WEIGH THEM
1. If they balance then the unique ball is one of the two that you left out [3L,4L]. Weigh either one of those against any other [normal] ball.
1A) If they're equal then the ball that you left out is the unique one.
1B) If they're different then the ball that you weighed against the normal ball is the unique one.
2. If the left side remains light, then the unique ball is one of the following: 1L, 7H, 8H. Now put 7H on one side and 8H on the other side and weigh them.
2A) If they're equal then the ball that you left out is the unique one.
2B) If they're different, then the ball that's on the heavy side is the unique one.
3. If the left side changes to heavy, then the unique ball is one of the following: 5H, 6H, 2L. Now put 5H on one side and 6H on the other side and weigh them.
3A) If they're equal then the ball that you left out is the unique one.
3B) If they're different, then the ball that's on the heavy side is the unique one.

-------- Snooping --------
Once you've done three weighings and you think you've found the right ball, click that ball and it should go into your inventory. Now MAKE SURE you don't click the scale or you'll reset the puzzle. Instead click the arrow in the top left to exit the puzzle. Now pass your cursor over the ball in your inventory.
If it just says "white ball" you messed up somewhere, but if it also says "unique specimen very hard to find" you've got the right ball.
Once you have the right ball SAVE YOUR GAME so you never have to do this puzzle again!
Click the door to get a closer view, then use the phial of acid on the handle to get outside. Return to the geyser and use the white ball [that you worked so hard to get] with the brown pipe beside the seat and the plaque of buttons.
Go down a screen here and examine the nearby desk, then click the open book for a juicy computer document [Diary]. Take the reel of film, the photographs and the disk, then read the photograph to see how they created the fake footage of you sabotaging Figaro's equipment. Analyze the disk to see some more evidence that the rumours are true, then walk towards the large doors and go up the stairs on your left to get a new mail for your computer [HRM AdvAntures Press]. Before you do anything else you should SAVE YOUR GAME on a couple of save slots.
This is due to the fact that you are about to make a VERY large choice in the game.
There are two doors to go through, a large set of doors, and a smaller set that you entered the room through originally.
If you pick the large doors then the game ends now and you get the bad ending, but if you pick the small door then the game continues. So watch the bad ending if you like, then reload your save and continue on with the game.
Go through the small door that leads back to the geyser, then click the plaque of buttons to ride down to the upper platform. Read the new mail [News Bulletin, June 13] for your computer if you wish, then return to the geyser and use the lever to reach the ground floor.
Talk to Tâal Nadi about Place and War, then return to the screen with the elevator and take the ladder near the elevator. Go into the small building by the warehouse once more and take the sheet of metal inside for the second time, then click the paper on the ground to get an important computer document [Chemical Formula].
Talk to Adam about the following:
Allies, Prooves, Safe
Now leave the building and head to the back of the warehouse [where you talked to Kia Tran earlier], then climb the stairs in the corner and click the black grate on the floor to reach the next screen.
There's a small pile of powder on the left conveyor belt, so click the hotspot on it to get the black diamond powder and the white diamond powder. That's all you need here for now so go back to the geyser and use the plaque of buttons to reach the upper platform.
Enter the building and go all the way to the sink at the back where you found the acid earlier, then pick up the strips for chemical analysis beside the hammer. Analyze them in your inventory and read the encyclopedia entry [Test Strips], then go back towards the door and head right to the safe. Examine the safe next as you get ready to put that high school chemistry to good use.
Use the test strips on all three of the tubes on the safe to learn that the red one is acidic and the blue one is basic [while the yellow is neutral]. Now use your white diamond powder with the red tube and use the black diamond powder with the blue tube. Click the safe handle to open the door, then click the documents on the top shelf to get a couple of incriminating computer documents [Account Report, Clients (Confidential)].
Leave the building now and return to the geyser, then use the lever to take it down to the ground floor. Talk to Tâal Nadi about the Order Book, then go to the elevator and ride it down. Cross the tracks and use your ladder just left of the dials that you adjusted earlier, then climb the ladder to reach some dynamite. Use your knife on the fuse to get the dynamite, then go left two screens and examine the mine cart to discover that it's loaded with dynamite.
Walk out of the mines and talk to Angus about the Conspiracy, then walk left a screen and walk towards the tracks. Use the sheet of iron with the far right end of the tracks and walk back to the mine cart that's loaded with dynamite. Look for the switchbox between the two tracks and a faint black beam pointing from the box to the mine cart. Wear your warm gloves and click that beam to switch the tracks, then click the mine cart and watch the cutscene.
Go back outside and talk to Angus about Dynamite to take the submarine back to the docks.
############################################################################### (C-10) THE RETURN ###############################################################################
Read the new mail [Don't Give Up] for your computer if you want, then go through the door and talk to Gustav in the balloon. Choose Giants when he gives you the option, then enter the giant's village to find it deserted.
Go towards the back of the village and talk to Jahiné Duubra about the following:
Examine the shelves behind Jahiné, then click the large red flower on the second shelf to get the trapping plant.
Head to the jousting arena and use your flask on the yellow flower at the front to water it, then use the butterfly on the same flower before entering the jousting arena.
Use the trapping plant on the stone square ahead of you to get the memory ball, then go back and talk to Jahiné Duubra about the Ball of Memory to receive a flute. Go towards the floating garden and use the flute on the force field to get rid of it, then follow the path around to the rock from the annoying puzzle that you solved here earlier. Examine the rock to discover it's missing its tongue, then take the message [Alexander Message] in its mouth and read it.
Go back to Gustav now and talk to him about the City to fly to Askiam.
Go to the same booth that you got the grease and old dinosaur skin from [left of the booth with all the hanging pans], then take the [blue] cloth and the telephone token from the right side of the booth. Walk to the right side of the market to see Armanda standing guard, then leave the market and go right to the screen with the fountain. Talk to Enrique about these topics:
Chief Engineer, Conspiracy
Now walk towards the Communications Center to spot Bârès Mohul and hear Ariane talk about a plan, then go back to Enrique and talk to him about Phone to get a list.
Read the list and check the entry in your computer to find out that there are five phone numbers in the city:
123-04 123-05 123-06 123-08 123-09
Examine the phone just past the green house [with the secret passage] on this screen and make a note of it's number, then return to Enrique's screen and go down to the next screen.
Examine the number of the phone on the street corner and keep track of it, then enter the market and go to the right side [where Armanda is]. Examine the phone by the booth and record the number, then go back to the gates of the city and examine the phone just left of the gates to get the final number.
Compare these four phone numbers with your list, the only one you didn't find is the one that you need to use. So examine the phone in front of you and use the cloth with the dial/microphone, then use the telephone token with the coin slot to carry out your plan.
Walk to the Communication Center now and use the monorail just left of it to reach the Academy.
------- Academy -------
Enter the building like before, then go through the door on your left to get a new mail [News Of Rescue Mission] for your computer. Examine the table and open the small box, then take the papers and the note. Read and analyze them respectively, then read the new documents [Conference, Energy Collector] in your computer.
Go down a screen and examine the desk in the corner, then pick up the paper to get a computer document [Hanoi Tower]. Read the document and get ready to solve yet another puzzle.
There are seven pieces to the tower, but you can only move the highest piece on a tower so there's no need to number the pieces. Instead I've numbered the towers from left to right 1, 2 & 3.
eg: 1 3, means to click tower one and then click tower 3 [moving the disk in tower one to tower 3 in the process].
This is a famous puzzle that takes a LONG time to beat with a minimum of 127 moves, and here they are:
111 - 3 2 112 - 1 3 (THIRD LARGEST DISK GETS MOVED INTO PLACE!) 113 - 2 1 114 - 2 3 115 - 1 3 116 - 2 1 117 - 3 2 118 - 3 1 119 - 2 1 120 - 2 3 (FOURTH LARGEST DISK GETS MOVED INTO PLACE!)

Click the middle to give you more room, then place the magnifying lens in the clamps and the small mirror at the bottom. Click the firefly once more and talk to Peter, then go back around the periscope and click the scroll near the blackboard to get a computer document [Coordinates].
Now simply click the periscope and watch the ending.
This game has some very backward logic in a lot of places and you can get stuck for some bizarre reasons. I'll try to answer the more common concerns that people have here.
[Question 01]
I can't leave the helicopter crash site through the cave, why not?
[Answer 01]
You don't have all the items from the area yet. Be sure to pry open the helicopter door with the helicopter blade, then get the following items from inside:
knife, rope, bag, and computer
Also be sure to unpack the bag, use the screwdriver on the first-aid kit and use the knife on the wires that are dangling from the broken panel.
Once you do all of this you should be able to leave the area.
[Question 02]
Why can't I fix the wires in the cave?
[Answer 02]
First of all you need to wear the warm gloves when doing anything here. Use the wires from your inventory on the wires here, then use the adhesive tape on the wires to cover up the exposed sections.
[Question 03]
Why can't I pick up the sand?
[Answer 03]
First you need to get the crystal, and second you need to put it in the machine in the same cave and use the bellows. Once you've done this the hotspot for the sand should be active, allowing you to pick it up.
[Question 04]
How do I fix the soldier's leg?
[Answer 04]
You need the flat pieces of mushroom first. These are found a few screens up ahead by the first bridge, simply use the knife on the mushroom stump there to get them. The hotspot on the stump WON'T appear though if you haven't talked to Lenkoff first.
[Question 05]
Why can't I heal the soldier?
[Answer 05]
You need to make sure that you have your flask filled with water. If your flask has no water, then Lenkoff will not give you the option of talking about pills.
[Question 06]
How do I fix the horn to help the soldier?
[Answer 06]
First of all you have to make sure that you've already given the soldier the splint and the pills.
If you've done this then you need to use your [lit] lighter on the tip of bone to create a hard cranium. Now use the hard cranium with the shell to create a prepared shell. Head back to the cave where you found the crystal and examine the machine that you used to polish it, then take the bellow [left part of the machine].
[Question 07]
Why can't I use my knife to get the flat pieces of mushroom?
[Answer 07]
You need to talk with Lenkoff in the tower before you're able to get the flat pieces of mushroom, so make sure to do this first!
Ariane becomes incredibly famous and gets all the great assignments as well as getting the chance to be first on the scene for a lot of major events.
However Alexander is also made famous and becomes an owner of several television networks. Humans also enter the center of the Earth and shoot the dinosaurs while annoying many of the people that lived peacefully before. The humans even drive away the giants completely to some unknown location.

Discoveries of a Forgotten World
"Sequel to Journey to the Center of the Earth by Professor Hardwigg"
Karl Schulze
...and the colony was set up on the edge of the jungle. This resettlement was a harrowing experience for the survivors of the first camp: they had left their founder there, Armand Latifere. He had been the only one who believed Professor Lidenbrock's expedition had actually taken place: the great scientist's discoveries had been too astounding and a few envious people had prepared his downfall; he had gone mad and nobody had showed the slightest interest when he died in 1865. Armand believed in this Eden and put together an international group of scientists to explore and inhabit the bowels of the earth. He succeeding in convincing our brave elders to join him on this arduous journey and together they made it possible for us to live in this brave new world.
Great minds were roused by the discovery of the flora and fauna and the building of a city. A bridge was constructed as well, inaccessible to most of the animal species, permitting scientists to study the various species without putting themselves in any danger. Technology is indeed the mark of the superiority of our race: we can adapt everywhere, even in these hostile lands.
But today the diversity of species teaches us to take a mode moderate view: for aren't we just as vulnerable as they are to the changes in climate? The study of nature yields plenty of surprises and invaluable lessons... It's possible that one day a tremendous discovery will call into question...
------ Letter ------
Dear Friend,
Please take care of the bust of this great forgotten man and pass it down to your children as a souvenir of our humanistic conquest. May this fellowship flourish and progress along the paths of science!
Armand Latifere
------------ Union Letter ------------
Gentlemen!
Our agreements have been concluded. They will not admit of any other alternative; by writing against the danger, we will thwart any threat from abroad. Our wise and well-preserved world would not survive a ruthless war of conquest.
Take heart! Our cherished children will safeguard future generations without bloodshed. Armand would be proud of them.

YOUNG FELLOWS!
If you want to serve the fellowship, if you refuse to remain passive, if you believe in peace, come and join the convoys of the brotherhood. Let us unite for the greater glory of the City of Askiam and the memory of Armand Latifere!

--------------- Perpetual Light ---------------
Perpetual Light
The first pioneers were astonished to find that it was light at all times at the center of the Earth. They conducted a swift investigation of the makeup of the air and found that the friction produced by the compression of the atoms generates light and heat. Theretofore observed only in test tubes, this phenomenon was reproduced here on a grand scale. The air seems to be renewed, however, through a few cracks in the surface, which makes our world quite vulnerable: a wide breach could plunge our world into darkness. Conversely, if our air were taken captive, the plants would produce the oxygen we need but the bacteria would remain suspended in the air, creating highly adverse living conditions. Bear in mind that the photosynthesis of sunlight carried on by plants at the surface actually evolved here: the heat recovered permitted the regulation of our ambient atmosphere (plants convert the heat into oxygen, which cools off our atmosphere). This process of energy conversion, known as calosynthesis, sometimes produces a very thick fog: the humidity condenses into tiny droplets.
------------------------ Beliefs And Spirituality ------------------------
Beliefs and spirituality
The giants live in harmony with nature: they don't eat meat (except some seafood) or chop down trees. Their life is ruled by respect for the Earth, which they consider a fragile and unique being and for which they feel responsible. Their way of life may well appear primitive, as they are less interested in technological progress than in preserving their sacred traditions. They do not recognize the existence of any divinities other than the Community in and of itself and the Earth. Furthermore, all their decisions are submitted to meditation rites; all the giants are initiated therein from childhood so as to know their destiny. After having had a vision, they choose their path accordingly: whether to pursue a simple craft or spiritual enlightenment. Indeed, this race seems to have developed gifts that are unknown to us and much resemble wizardry. Practicing these arts does not enable them to do anything they want - first of all, because of their beliefs; secondly, because their gifts are developed only in certain domains. For instance, they are capable of healing the body by means of persuasion and of using telepathy and even teleporting people. The arts of the giants are divided up into two main disciplines: representation and recomposition. These arts are much esteemed but do not endow the wizard with greater social status. The best giants periodically engage in jousts, featuring a spectacular demonstration of their powers of mental representation. The winners are rewarded food and honors until the next games.

---------- Conference ----------
Areas at risk
Recent expeditions have revealed significant differences between giants and man. The more our community grows, the more our races seem to diverge. These findings are of little consequence for the time being, but in the workings of Nature the weaker will eventually give way to the stronger: the age-old process of evolution of the species always restores the proper balance between competitors.
What are [we] to do now that we know this state of affairs? Can we be sure of our superiority? But if so, are we to let this unique and primitive race of giants simply die out? On the other hand, will we fear extinction? And if so, what hope will we have, seeing as there is no place to hide? Finally, how do we know that both our races aren't in jeopardy?
Gentlemen, the object of this conference is to consider all our options if and when such a situation should arise, even if, according to our experts, that won't be for another two generations. We need to pause and deliberate now on ways to continue to live in harmony and security.

---------- Ganz Lux 4 ----------
The Ganz factory produced the Ganz Lux 4 enlarger in 1859. It works with a photographic plate made with wet Collodion. A double-bottom and extra tough bellows protect the interior. The lens is equipped with a Deklas lens that creates high quality images. The lens was considered innovative, because of the clever aiming system of articulate mirrors. A lever allowed one to raise the mirror to enlarge the photo. This same system is still used in contemporary enlargers. The mechanism used to move the mirror and the back of the box was fragile, due to a defective screw, and often broke.

Ariane, just arrived at the office and heard about your accident. Where on earth are you? Tried to call you at home, but got your voicemail every time (a reporters work is never done). I'm worried... We've got to get together so you can tell me everything!!! BTW, got a tip for you: Sport and Nature is looking for a fearless freelance photographer to cover the rock-climbing championship staff@sportnat.net . Tell them I send you! Guess I'm a masochist, was actually hoping to TRY to see you! But hurry up, you're right! Hector Mallet, Editor-in-Chief, Preliminaries
------------- Appointment!! -------------
Ariane, it's so annoying never hearing from you! I waited for you until 4, and had to present the mock-up by myself! He likes it, but wants to meet you first: after all this magazine is your idea!!! Call him and make an appointment ASAP! I'm off to cover a fashion show in Prague. (LOL! I can picture your face right now!) Bettina

Hey Little Sister, I didn't have Internet access at Dad's you know how he loathes technology! Heard about your accident...your office said that you're find but they can't locate you. You know, I may be hard on you at times, but I think we simply see life differently. You sacrifice everything else for your profession, which makes you seem sort of cold sometimes, but you're getting ahead because of it. I've got to hand it to you for that! Dad's doing fine. I promised him you'd come see him when you get back. It's important. We're getting anxious waiting for the phone to ring. Love and kisses from all of us, Eva
Dear Madam, As we have yet to receive your photographs (article on African deserts), we regret to inform you that your contract was cancelled for professional misconduct pursuant to clause 7. HRM AdvAntures Press Group.

------------- Don't Give Up -------------
Ariane, Sorry for my last email; I was quite upset! I've just learned from Hector that you had an accident in Iceland... The pilot is back and thinks you fell into a crack in the ground, but I know you get my emails. Hold on!!! We, i.e. mainly Hector, are developing a program to locate you by tracking your laptop via satellite. You know Hector really wants you back in one piece! He's moving Heaven and Earth to find you... If only I were you... I have a pass for Cannes 2006... if you change your mind; you know I'd love to have you by my side. Hugs and Kisses, Bettina
---------------------- News Of Rescue Mission ----------------------
Ariane, We heard they couldn't find you so I'm assembling a team to locate you or actually your laptop by satellite. We'll find you in no time. Since your accident I realize I have so many things to say to you, but I won't waste anymore time. We have a lot to share. You Hector (worried but confident)
------------ Instructions ------------
Hi, Ariane, I don't know if you remember me... This is Gary, we went to High School together. A guy named Hector who needs a team to find you has just contacted me... Well, you know the story. Here's the plan: We'll make the necessary adjustments so don't waste your batteries. Turn your laptop on and off every five minutes. We'll take care of the rest. Seems a little weird to be getting back in touch under these circumstances. As a matter of fact, strange as it may seem to you, I still think about you... I have been following your career your photos are great! I think you'll make it big as a journalist. Gary Gardener, SUPERSAT ENGINEER

Ariane, it's Gary again. I'm getting strange readings here: looks like your laptop is moving! Could you switch it on and off at five minute intervals? I couldn't make it to the chopper, which is already on its way, but you know I'd be very happy to see you again! You have my coordinates! Gary
