You are a cow. You are grazing in a field. You want to escape the farm. [[(Walk towards barn.)]] [[(Continue grazing.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Graze.png">
You walk towards the barn, straight through the field and see your friend Salvador, the barn rat. "What's up cow?" [[("I want to escape the farm Sal".)]] [[("Not much, what are you up to Sal?".)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Meeting.png">You continue enjoying the grass in front of you. It's delicious by cow standards. But it's time to go. Time to be free. [[(Walk towards barn.)]] [[(Continue grazing even more.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Graze.png">Ok I know the grass is really good, but you have to get going. If you dont leave now,your desire to be free will forever be just a fleeting dream. [[(Walk towards barn.)]] [[(Continue grazing even more than more.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Graze.png">Fine then. Do what you want. You are a cow after all, and good grass is no guarantee in this world. I just don't want you going and having regrets now. [[(Walk towards barn.)]] [[(Graze.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Graze.png">The sun is shining on your back, the grass at your feet is good. You don't want anything more.
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Graze.png">Sal doesn't look very surprised. "Sure, why not. I didnt have anything else to do today. Come with me. We might need a weapon for after we've escaped." You and Sal walk to the barn, and find the door is shut. [[(Check behind the barn.)]] [[(Send Sal in to unlock the barn.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Meeting.png">"I was going to just stare outside the Dome and eat blueberries, but I'm open to ideas" [[("I want to escape the farm Sal".)]] [[("That sounds nice".)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Meeting.png">As you approach the back of the barn, you notice a large part of the wall dug out. You see large claw marks. [[(Enter the barn.)]] [[("Maybe we shouldn't go in here Sal".)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Behind%20barn.png">Sal enters the barn on his own, and you hear no noise for a time. What should you do? [[(Examine behind the barn.)]] [[(Wait.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Barn.png">"It does doesn't it". You and Sal head to the edge of the Dome and look out, appreciating the view. You don't exactly get what youre looking at, but it always fills you with shock and awe. You know for certain now. It's time to go. [[("I want to escape the farm Sal".)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Cow%20space.png">As you wait, you hear a shuffle and a bang coming from inside the barn. [[(Examine behind the barn.)]] [[(Try and knock the door down.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Barn.png">As you attempt to knock the door down, you hear movement behind the barn door. [[(Continue trying to knock the door down.)]] [[(Examine behind the barn.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/BarnDoorBang.png">As you rush around the barn, you see Sal beside a large hole in the wall. "Look out Cow!" [[(Enter the barn.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Behind%20barn.png">As soon as you enter, you immediately recongise the sight before you. It's a colony mole, a giant creature that drills underground. [[(Try and talk to the mole.)]] [[(Attack the mole.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/BarnMole.png">"We either head in or we go back to stargazing. Your call." [[(Enter the barn.)]] [[(Lets just go look at the stars.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Behind%20barn.png">As you try to communicate with the Mole, he seems uninterested. He seems more intrigued by the glass cabinet above the door frame. [[(Tell Sal to examine the glass case.)]] [[(Try and talk to the Mole again.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/BarnMole.png">You charge the mole with all your might...and slightly knock it off balance. The mole swipes and claims your head. This image crosses your mind just before you muster the courage to attack. [[(Try and talk to the mole.)]] [[(Attack the mole for reals.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/BarnMoleCharge.png">You charge the mole with all your might...and slightly knock it off balance. The mole swipes and claims your head. Hmm, probably wasn't the wisest choice.
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/BarnMoleChargeDeath.png">As you put all your bovine might into bringing the barn door down, you feel something putting far more force on the other side of the door. [[(Keep pushing.)]] [[(Step back.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/BarnDoorBang.png">You hear a crash, a bang and in one fell swoop, the barn doors come down on you, along with an unfortunately lethal weight on top. Hmm. Oh well.
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/GroundBeef.png">You step back from the barn door and only moments later, the doors come crashing down, and you instantly recognise the creature before you. A giant colony mole. And its currently rushing towards you. [[(Run.)]] [[(Call for Sal.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/BarnDoorBreak.png">Your feet begin moving before you can even think twice. The colony mole chases you for a time,trampling the barn door. Eventually you notice you can't hear it making chase anymore. As you turn around, you see a giant burrow where it would've been. That's not good. [[(Stay still.)]] [[(Run towards the barn.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Cowrun.png">As you call out for Sal, you see him standing up on the door frame. "Lead him away from the barn and run back, I have a plan" [[(Run.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/BarnDoorBreakRun.png">You hear the ground shift from underneath you. You attempt to quickly move away, but the ground falls beneath your feet. Probably best we don't see what happens next.
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/FallThroughHole.png">As you run towards the barn, you notice Sal on the door frame holding some strange item in his mouth. Suddenly the colony mole appears from right behind you, chasing you into the barn. As it follows you through the blown out barn door, you hear a searing noise behind you. You turn around and see the freshly severed head of the colony mole, with a spacer energy sword lying beside where it's head was. Quite grim. [[(Take the sword and leave.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/DeadMole.png">Sal retrieves the sword and hands it to you. You walk away from the barn, Sal hitching a ride on your back. You approach the edge of the Dome, sword in mouth. It's time to leave. [[(Leave the Dome.)]] [[(Actually, I'd rather Graze.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Freedom.png">Sal climbs up and examines the glass case, and notices an antique energy sword inside. "I think the Mole wants the sword. Must be attracted to the energy crystals inside. Gimme 5 minutes with my claws." As Sal says this, you notice the mole start to shuffle around. [[(Shout up to Sal to hurry up.)]] [[(Stay quiet.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/BarnMoleSalCase.png">The Mole glares at you for a moment. You then notice the mole pointing it's claws toward the cabinet. It wants what's inside. [[(Try and talk to the mole yet again.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/BarnMole.png">You ask the mole one last time what it's doing here, and it finally seems to take notice of what you're saying. "Jewels. Sword" It wants the Jewels inside the sword. [[(Tell Sal to examine the glass case.)]] [[(Tell the mole there are more jewels underground.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/BarnMole.Curious.png">The mole perks up at this information. It begins to drill a hole into the ground. Before it leaves, it seems to beckon you and Sal into the hole. [[(Stay put.)]] [[(Become a mole cow.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/BarnMoleExcited.png">You and Sal decide to join the giant mole in his journey. It's very dark in here though. But it's alright. Probably. You'll get used to it.
The mole seems to shrug, fills the hole above his head back up and leaves peacefully. "Well cow, what now?" [[(Take the sword and leave.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/BarnMoleLeaves.png">The mole seems to begin losing interest, and begins to burrow away. Clearly it must have other plans for the day. [[(Take the sword and leave.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/BarnMoleLeavesSal.png">You and Sal approach the farmer's old evacuation pod. He won't be needing it anymore. A red light glows above you. A voice says "Scan complete", and the exit opens before you. [[(Walk through.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/FreedomScan.png">Are you sure? You're so close to freedom? Do you really want to give up now? [[(Leave the Dome.)]] [[(Graze.)]]
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Graze.png">"Yeah forget escaping. I'm happy enough right here."
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Cow%20space.png">You enter into the unknown. The only thing you recognise now are the stars above your head. Good luck. Surely there's something out there...somewhere.
<img src="https://d00222759.neocities.org/EscapeImages/Escaped.png">The loud noise from your shout disturbs the mole, it clearly doesn't care for high volume. It seems agitated now. [[(Call for Sal.)]] [[(Stay quiet.)]]
