> Ok, you need to find the secret entrance to the adventure world, which is located in one of the buildings on campus. You need sufficient light to see it, which means finding a very bright light source. Hint: see if you can figure out how to train the nanobots to build a spotlight for you. To do that, you'll need to find a professor who is likely to know the mechanics involved. If he isn't willing to tell you his secrets outright, you'll have to see if he'll talk in his sleep. That means rendering him unconscious somehow! But you don't want to just whack him over the head, obviously. See if there is a chemical way to induce sleep without leaving traces. Collecting the chemicals, of course, will require appropriate safety equipment, not to mention authorization to handle restricted substances, but visit appropriate supply locales and authority figures for that. Hint: You don't have a brother in high places for nothing. Of course, you won't have access to the supplies unless you can also con the staff into thinking you have a legitimate academic purpose, so some fudging with the paperwork with administration might be important, which means tracking down a shady character that can teach you how to do that. You'll need to give him something in return for his services, of course, so think about the types of things shady characters like that would want. Hint: he'll probably want something illegally acquired, but you don't want to get caught, so notice the patterns security uses to keep watch. You'll need to observe without being seen, so don't forget to find dark clothing and quiet shoes. Hint: think about the types of places you might acquire new apparel. Of course, you need to pay for it, which means raising the money, which means getting a job, so see if you can find a place that's hiring. You'll need to supply a transcript of your academic performance to get hired, of course, as well as take a drug screening, which is complicated by the unsavory food you've eaten at Vominus Hall, which is liable to register false positives, so you'll need a way to purge your system.

My nanobots did a great deal more than light the way. Are there are different ways to advent in this adventure?
