- Targoss: Welcome traveller. I am here to help you get started.
- Targoss: It is my job to teach you a few things that will help you find your way in this world.
- Targoss: Move the mouse left and right to turn your body. Turn until you are facing me.
- Targoss: Move the mouse away from you and toward you to look up and down.
- Targoss: Click the right mouse button to make the hand cursor appear.
- Targoss: The hand cursor is your character's hand. Use it to operate window buttons and controls.
- Targoss: Your hand can also be used in the scene to operate doors, activate controls and grab items.
- Targoss: Click the right mouse button again to make the hand cursor go away. The mouse goes back to controlling your body.
- Targoss: Everything I say is transcribed on your Comm. Press the F3 key to show the Comm at this time.
- Targoss: The Comm shows open channels on tabs across the middle.
- Targoss: Select the Voice channel tab.
- Targoss: I am going to send a message that will be marked on the Comm with a large green asterisk. The asterisk means I am waiting for you to acknowledge the message before I will continue.
- Targoss: Double-click the Comm message with the green asterisk to acknowledge it. You can also select the message and press the enter key to acknowledge it.
- Targoss: I will wait until you acknowledge this message to continue.
- Targoss: Acknowledge this message if you do not need my help.
- Targoss: Excellent! Now that we can communicate, let's go over the basics of moving around.
- Targoss: To walk forward, hold the W key; Shift+W runs forward.
- Targoss: To walk backward, hold the S key.
- Targoss: You can sidestep left or right by pressing the A or D keys.
- Targoss: Try moving around this area to get the hang of it.
- Targoss: Excuse me; that's a little close. Please back off a little.
- Targoss: I have dropped a torch on the ground in front of me. Use your hand to pick it up.
- Targoss: Good job. You can keep the torch; it'll be handy when it gets dark.
- Targoss: Use the mouse wheel to select the torch as your current item. The current item is shown as a picture at the bottom corner of the scene. That's the item that gets used when you click the mouse.
- Targoss: Notice that the torch can be selected twice. When the picture of a fire appears next to the torch, it is wielded as a weapon. To attack with a weapon, sight on a target and hold the left mouse button to attack repeatedly.
- Targoss: Select the other torch position, the one without fire, to use the torch for light. Press the U key to 'use' the torch; this will turn the torch light on and off. A single click with the mouse wheel is another way to use the current item.
- Targoss: One last thing and then I'll be finished.
- Targoss: As you travel from place to place, use the Comm to ask about jobs in the area. There is growing demand out there for travellers willing to take a risk.
- Targoss: My job is done. That is all I can teach you. You are on your own now.
