The Recreation Department
Six exercises. None of them count toward anything.
Vessel traffic service
The Strait of Hummus.
Collect the cargo. Do not run aground.
Charting the strait...
Arrows or WASD steer. Space sails. On deck, use the compass.
Cargo collected here counts toward nothing.
Range office
The Dipping Range.
Chips are launched. You are the dip.
Sweeping the lane...
Aim with the mouse. Click fires. Six rounds, then a breath to reload.
No chips are wasted. They land in bowls.
Border control
Customs.
Everything entering the bowl declares itself first.
Choose your service
Approve the chickpeas. Hold everything else. A approves, H holds, and hesitation counts against you.
Condiment control
The Drizzle.
One spiral of oil. The bowl is watching.
Press and drag to pour. Release to be judged. One pour per bowl.
Preparation department
Skins.
Every chickpea arrives overdressed.
Click a chickpea to take its skin. The pile is yours to keep. Five escapes close the line.
Long-term planning
The Soak.
A game played against tomorrow.
TARGET: TWELVE HOURS EXACTLY
...
Begin the soak. Close the laptop. Live your life. Return in exactly twelve hours and drain.
