==================================================================

Scenario
The future has come and gone.  Human technology had reached goals
that surmounted even the most impractical dream of the past.  We
had strived and succeeded, and at last had begun to tap into the
awesome power of ... magic!  It was that caused our civilization
to crumble.  Your magical senses have drawn you to the vicinity of
humanity's last city because of a warning.  If not rescued very
soon, the last of human technology will be erased from the planet.

Notes
1. Ensure the CAPS LOCK key is on.
2. You cannot enter the magically contaminated area until you have
the magic stone.
