Spaceship: Distress Signal Questions

From TextAdventure

[edit] The Puzzle

• This idea of this puzzle is to introduce more character to the puzzle solving of the game by building the puzzle around one of the absent crew members, so you get to understand a bit about them through the puzzle solving process. Also this is a wild goose chase through a series of challenging including a quiz and some wordplay (see the button part of the puzzle) all leading up to a punchline of a climax.

• The player finds a locker sealed by a crew member obsessed with old Earth sci-fi and must pass a simple quiz to gain entry. Inside he finds a distress signal device that has been missing for some time. The device needs some simple repairs which the player carries out. Then upon launching the device the player discovers the crew member has converted the signalling device into an automated firework display.
