mouth. You hit the blades and feel nothing more.
     
    Try to stay alive next time! Go to 1 .

    “I’ll take the molecular bomb,” you tell QTee.
    “Okie doke.” He fits the bomb into the DART suit launcher. “Now it’s time for you to teleport to Airworld. Remember you can only use teleportation to and from Earth, not to move around Airworld.”
    You enter the suit and it closes around you. You hear QTee talking to you over the COMS link.
    “I have worked out the teleportation co-ordinates to Airworld. I can’t get you near Hurrikano’s palace as there is some sort of teleport block on it. You will have to make your own way there, and once inside you won’t be able to teleport out, so be careful! I have set the NAV system, to guide you. Use it! Once you have defeated Hurrikano and are in teleportation range, get back to Earth. Good luck!”
    I’m going to need it, you think.
    “Teleport begin.”
    There is a bright white light and you feel as though your body is being ripped into a million pieces.
     
    Go to 47 .

    “Arm and fire molecular bomb,” you order.
    The bomb hurtles into the body of the gas giant and explodes. For a few seconds it looks as though the bomb hasn’t worked, and the giant strides towards you, ready to attack. You hear a series of explosions and jets of flame shoot from out of the creature’s body. The gas giant’s molecular structure begins to change! The fires set off a chain reaction and the creature’s body collapses in on itself and falls to the ground.

    “Enemy compromised,” says the DART’s computer.
    You arm your eGun and send volley after volley of energy bolts into the creature’s body.
    A huge fireball fills the sky as the giant explodes. Alarms begin to sound from the palace, and dozens of attack drones and armed winged beings fly out to investigate.
     
    If you wish to attack them, go to 48 .
    If you wish to head to the palace, go to 18 .

    “Teleport,” you order your DART suit.
    There is a bright light and you find yourself back in the OPS room.
    QTee looks at you in surprise. “Why have you abandoned the mission?”
    “It was getting a little tricky,” you reply.
    “I needed to get out, but don’t worry, I’ll go back again.”
    QTee shakes his head. “You can go home. You are not up to this task. We will find someone who is more heroic than you.”
     
    If you are feeling more heroic and wish to begin again, go back to 1 .

    “Of course I am,” you say. “Bring it on!”
    Within half an hour the helicopter pilot has recovered, the weather has calmed down and you are back in the air.
    Sometime later you are flying over a vast pine forest, heading directly towards the side of a mountain. The pilot increases speed! You wonder if the pilot’s bang on the head is affecting his ability to fly.
    The mountain side gets closer and closer!
     
    To take control of the helicopter, go to 20 .
    If you trust the pilot, go to 31 .

    “What do you intend to do?” you ask.
    “Eliminate you,” he replies. Before you can react, a lightning bolt flashes from his Staff of Power. It hits you in the chest. Another lightning bolt rips your suit open.
    “I don’t have time to explain myself to such a creature as you. I have a world to destroy.”
    The last thing you see is a flash of lightning.
     
    You are dead. Begin again by going to 1 .

    The hawk flies at you, spinning and turning atan incredible speed. It spits bolts of lightning at you.
    You prime your weapons system into a defend-and-capture mode. The suit takes several hits, but its armour is too strong to be damaged.
    “Launch net,” you order.
    A steel net shoots from your arm launcher. It hits the cyclone hawk and snares it. The creature drops to the ground, wrapped up like a trussed-up chicken.
     
    If you wish to kill the creature, go to 6 .
    If you think you can use the hawk to help you, go to 16 .

    You leap towards the alien, but before you can hit it, the creature fires. A blue
