V. F. H. F. Directive Z-002-3854

To: All Temporal Agents in the 21st Century
    a.k.a. Clyde Fans
    a.k.a. ClydeSight Visitors

From: General Confusion

Orders: TEMPAGEN - 10145

All temporal agents are hereby re-activated and summoned to the Virtual Future on a mission of utmost urgency to rescue our beloved President of Virtually Everything, Clyde Big Paws, from the mysterious structure- code name: "ClydeMaze".

SitRep (Situation Report):

A mysterious edifice (building, structure), possibly of alien --or worse-- historical origin appeared in Virtual Future Center Park early this morning.

V. F. H. F. agents immediately secured the area and initiated a scouting procedure using the newly improved robotic Directional Private Eye (D.P.I.). The D.P.I. is an image capture device that is linked to the G.P.S. (Global Positioning Satellite) and always shows the directional points of the compass.

Upon entering the structure, the D.P.I. showed images of strange corridors, panels and electronic ClydeDoors, which were originally designed by Clyde Big Paws in the 20th Century. Historical documents indicate that the doors were activated by some type of switch.

The electronic ClydeDoors (pet doors) look like a TV set to some people, and they appear have a locking code in the form of curious questions. The D.P.I. team was unable to answer the questions and were stumped in their investigations. It was also impossible for the D.P.I. to activate the answer switches located on the left of the doors.

The team found corridor panels (some of which seem to have green switches) and they believe that some panels contain valuable information. However, the D.P.I. was unable to activate them. Early reports showed that not all panels have these switches, and sometimes, they appear and disappear at random.

President Clyde made a purrsonal visit to the site and in his legendary curiosity, entered the structure without an escort.

That was three hours ago, and he hasn't been heard from since!

Attempts to find him failed when the D.P.I. stopped transmitting and refused to respond to program commands.

Your Mission:

As a duly authorized temporal agent of Clyde, your mission is to enter the Matrix of Alternative Time and proceed immediately to the Virtual Future (the coordinates are locked in.)

You have Six objectives:

1. Click on the Time Rings (below these orders) to travel to the Virtual Future.

2. You will arrive at the ClydeMaze and be outfitted with a control interface including an empty navigational "Facing Interface" which requires a D.P.I. (Due to low budget, we only have one D.P.I. and it's lost in ClydeMaze.)

3. Enter ClydeMaze through ClydeDoor. While in ClydeMaze, retrieve the D.P.I. and place it in your "Facing Interface". We will award you Mission points (code name: ClydeMaze points). The D.P.I. will help you by showing you the direction you are facing.

4. Find and gather intelligence from all functioning informational panels. We will award you Mission points (code name: ClydeMaze points).

5. Find President Clyde Big Paws. When you find him, pat him, and he will purr and follow behind you. We will award you Mission points (code name: ClydeMaze points).

6. Lead President Clyde Big Paws to safety outside of ClydeMaze.

Precautions:

1. Everything in the ClydeMaze looks exactly the same. You can lose your bearings quite easily and run around in circles. This may have caused the D.P.I. malfunction. Find the D.P.I. ASAP. It is rolling around in the structure on its own without sense or direction.

2. Indications are that the ClydeDoors always challenge anyone who wishes to pass, regardless of whether they have been there before or not.

3. ClydeDoors appear exactly the same on both sides. This has confused the D.P.I. team. Stay alert to this deception!

4. We have detected fluctuations in the ClydeMaze power gird which affects electronic devices. They may not work, or work sporadically.

5. Preliminary intelligence reports indicate that the maximum number of Mission points (code name: ClydeMaze points) you can receive = 300.
