Adventures of Marman

Deep under the sea where boats fear to sail and submarines dare not submerge... Someone has to protect the sea life from the dangers of pollution... But only one person has the enviromental powers to do that... [[Who, you may ask?->Accept the mission]] (set: $how_many_letters to 0)

The answer is YOU, Marman. Will you accept the challenge? [[Of course, it is my duty.->Powers]] [[I don't know...->You must]]

The three tasks you must start with each day are the very basis of keeping the sea safe. You must accomplish these to move forward... [[Check for fishing nets near the trench.->Trench]] [[Use your lazer vision to blast away the trash that has accumulated at the sand bar.->Sand Bar]] [[Check the turtle cove to make sure no one is stuck in a plastic pack ring.->Turtle Cove]]

The safety of the sea depends on you and your enviromental abilities, Marman. You must be the hero to keep the sea safe! [[Okay, I'll do it!->Powers]]

You must use your excellent night vision because it gets dark near the trench but that is where the fishermen drop their nets... (t8n:"blur")+(link:"Night Vision Activated")[= Oh no! There is a fish trapped in the net! [[Save the fish!->Save the fish]]

(set: $how_many_letters to $how_many_letters + 1) There are several pile ups of trash from the land dwellers that have made their way here from high tide last night... You must use your lazers on the trash to (t8n:"shudder")+(link-reveal:"disintegrate it...")[= Trash Destroyed [[Go back to your other tasks?->Daily routine]] Or [[Move on to your next mission?->Next mission]]

(set: $how_many_letters to $how_many_letters + 1) The turtles are safe, no soda rings today... [[Go back to your other tasks?->Daily routine]] Or [[Move on to your next mission?->Next mission]] <img src=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/aa/e4/d5/aae4d5bd95cf4178ae6301a9a3e706b6.jpg>

Once you've completed all your daily tasks, you can move on... (if:$how_many_letters is > 2)[You're amazing Marman! You've completed all of your tasks! [[Let's see what needs to be done next!->Next mission moved on]]]

"Thank Triton you're here! You have to help me, I'm stuck!" <img src=https://assets.nrdc.org/sites/default/files/styles/header_background/public/specieswatch_051718_1020904_ds_1200x630.jpg?itok=Qt9doJQp> Activate laser vision to cut the net and free the fish!

You've completed your daily tasks now on to the (t8n:"zoom")+(link-reveal:"next....")[[[Wait who is this???->A girl?]]]

A beautiful mermaid is over by the corral reef... [[Ask her what she is doing?->what are you doing]] or [[Watch from a distance?->Watch from a distance]] <img src=https://i.pinimg.com/originals/98/44/ac/9844acacacff921a7f89906f02827c63.jpg>

(t8n:"slide-down")+(link-reveal:"My beautiful maiden may I ask what you are doing?")[= "Oh I didn't see you there... I am simply healing the corral reef for my fish friends who use it..." [[How? Do you have super powers?->ask her]]

It appears she is healing the dead corral and rebinding the reef... This incredible does she have superpowers too... [[Ask her?->ask her]]

"I do have super powers! I can heal sea life and bind things back together by just using my hands and my mind." I thought I was the only one with super powers under the sea but I suppose the sea is a pretty big place... I'll see you around... (link-reveal:"Wait I didn't catch your name...") +(link:"[\"It's Merida!\"]") [Ahhhh see you later then, Merida.] [[I'll be on my way then.->thought bubble]]

How am I supposed to be the sole hero of the sea when this beautiful mermaid has super powers as well? [[...->Puzzle]]

My pollution senses are tingling... It's coming from the clam cove... [[I better go check it out...->puzzle 2]] (set: $tools to 0)

The little clams are whispering that there are some metal parts stuck in their shells... I better look in each one to check... (click on a clam's name to check their shell) [[Clarice->Clarice]] [[Clarence->Clarence]] [[Claire->Claire]] [[Cloyce->Cloyce]] [[Clyde->Clyde]]

Okay let's get a feel for your powers, so you know how to best handle the sea... [[Laser vision->Laser vision]] [[Sea senses->Sea Senses]] [[Sea life communication->Communication]]

To activate your laser vision of night vision it's very simple... (link:"1st")[Close your eyes] (link:"2nd")[Focus on the vision you need] (link:"3rd")[Open your eyes and it will be activated] (link:"4th")[To turn it off you simply have to blink] [[Back to your other powers?->Powers]] [[On to the daily routine?->Daily routine]]

The sea senses are simple... Just follow the gut feeling when you sense something is wrong and it will lead you right to the problem. Like an internal GPS. [[Back to your other powers?->Powers]] [[On to the daily routine?->Daily routine]]

The sea life communication is already in your heart and mind you're half land dweller and half sea dweller which means you can understand language from below sea level or above. [[Back to your other powers?->Powers]] [[On to the daily routine?->Daily routine]]

"Thank goodness you're here Marman! I have a screw wedged in my shell! Can you get it out?" (t8n-time:1.3s)+(link:"Remove Screw.")[Of course, Clarice! Now you should be nice and comfotable. I'll save this screw for recycling.] [[Check out the other clams?->puzzle 2]] Or [[Move on?->Sea senses]] (set: $tools to $tools + 1)

"Hey Marman! Everything's good here. Nothing stuck in my shell." [[Check out the other clams?->puzzle 2]] Or [[Move on?->Sea senses]]

"Marman! There's something stuck on my shell, I can barely open it..." (t8n:"fade-left")+(link:"Let's see what it is..")[It looks like there is some kind of metal bracket stuck on your shell but I can get it off with a bit of wiggling... I'll save it for recycling.] [[Check out the other clams?->puzzle 2]] Or [[Move on?->Sea senses]] (set: $tools to $tools + 1)

"I'm all good, Marman! You're the best!" [[Check out the other clams?->puzzle 2]] Or [[Move on?->Sea senses]]

"Nothing to see here. Just a few barnacles!" [[Check out the other clams?->puzzle 2]] Or [[Move on?->Sea senses]]

When you've found the screw and bracket and helped the clams then you can move on. (if:$tools is > 1)[All in a days work... I'm glad the clams are safe. Oh no, what's this? My [[sea senses->oil pipe]] are tingling yet again...]

My sea senses have lead me to the oil pipe that runs along the ocean floor... (t8n:"zoom")+(link-reveal:"Someone's already here...") [It's Merida! [[What's going on, Merida?->Oil pipe is bursting]]] <img src=https://www.energyfacts.eu/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Gazprom-Explores-Possible-Submarine-Gas-Pipeline-to-South-Asia-1-800x480.jpg>

"Marman! There's a break in the oil pipe and it's going to burst!" [[I'll handle it myself!->Want over need]] [[We should go fix it together!->want need need]] <audio src=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOfDbjT0Q0A autoplay>

I am the sole hero of the sea and I can fix this myself! I can use the screw and bracket I recovered from the clams earlier! (t8n:"rumble")+(t8n-time:1.3s)+(link:"Use screw and bracket")[Oh no! The oil pipe is still bulging! It's gonna (t8n-arrive:"shudder")[[blow!->oil pipe bursts]]]

(t8n-arrive:"pulse")[[Okay Merida you stay back and let me have a look->want and need]] Or [[We can fix it if we work together!->Need over want]]

KABOOM!! Oh no... I let my ego get in the way of my duties to keep the sea safe and now there is a massive oil spill... If I had only asked Merida for help maybe we could have stopped this. I guess... let the clean up begin.

Merida! Your tail is stuck under the swaying oil pipe! I must stop the oil pipe from bursting then I can help! I'll use the parts I found earlier with the clams! (t8n-arrive:"flicker")+(t8n-time:1s)[[Use screw and bracket->fix and save]]

Okay Merida, I will use the screw and bracket that I found earlier and you use your binding powers and together we can do this... (t8n-arrive:"dissolve")+(t8n-time:1s)[[Let's do it!->need over want end]]

I did it Merida! I stopped the oil pipe from bursting! Let's get you out of here! (t8n-time:1s)[[Help Merida->merida end]]

Just a little wiggling and you're free, Merida! "Marman, you're my hero!!" It's all in a day's work.

We did it Merida! We make a great team! We should form a partnership and use our powers together to keep the sea safe!
