Solution to the ingame text adventure? [TGP]

[predcon]

Somewhere along the line of the game, the player will happen upon an ancient computer with an ancient text game. That's all I'll say without spoiling anything else. What's the solution to it?

This depends entirely where you are in the game! If you've just got to PAL's basement, and you're using it for the first time, don't worry about it. If you're further on into the game it should become more obvious.

Have you been to the Future, yet?

I have, yes. And it finally occurred to me to speak to Dan, so I'm good now. Getting the crystal out was trickier. I guess I should talk to Dan more often, he's not the bumbling fool he looks to be. Or maybe he is and he's just one of those "can instantly count grains of salt spilled on the floor" idiot savants, 'cept he can't count so it's driven him completely wonk-o.
