Scrawled in English on the north wall is this disconcerting line:
"They can enslave us here, but they'll never take our true nerdly souls!"
A lone passageway leads east into darkness. Above it, you can barely make out these disheartening words:
"Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate."
or
"Abandon all hope, ye who enter."
Hmmm, isn't it a standard MIT joke to refer to the university as "Hell"? Things can't be that bad. You must be at the virtual "MIT."
You can exit west.
You can enter the eastern passageway.
