You enter in 1234. Unsurprisingly the code doesn't do anything. A code like that probably only works for luggage codes. You search the office and in the other desks for anything of use, especially a password. You find more office supplies like scissors, staplers, burnt papers, and a whole bunch of pens. You don't find the password but you do find a key to apartment 312 in the main office. It's possible that you might have to come back later to solve all the mysteries of this place. You use one chutzpah to convince yourself that you have more health. You don't actually have more health but you feel like you do. You gain one chutzpah point for this action.

You smash the computer with the rocks. Whatever secrets the computer held are now forever lost. You max out your Chutzpah by smashing the computer. You feel powerful, you no longer feel paranoid. You don't know where Apartment 312 is, you'd have to find it first. You head down into the sub-basement. There's a storage room here filled with more plastic boxes. There is an observation room that shows screens of all the test chambers. You think you hear something sleeping, it sounds like an animal. There's a broken entrance back into the test chamber that you were in before.

Of course, it's not like anyone was curious about what was on the PC, Macadam. Is the sleeping entity a human or an animal? We must be sure.
You head into the generator room and look around. The sleeping creature is definitely an animal. It looks a bit like a furry crocodile with six eyes and sharper teeth. You can see the power generator behind the creature, it's giving off a comfortable heat. There's a power control computer right next to you. "I think the most horrifying part of apparently finding out I'm a genetically engineered pink-haired space waifu is the Mary Sue origin story. If anyone asks I'm just going to tell them I'm from Space Texas."

Throw a rock at the creature to try and wake it up, if it wakes then try to lure it away from the generator.
Gonna slow up the updates for a bit to like... once or twice a day. I'm working on updating the exploration art style and redoing some portraits to fit more inline of what I did with Callarouth. Won't become apparent till later though.
You toss a rock at the creature, rudely waking it up. "GRRRRRRRRRRRRR..." "Whoa whoa... easy there boy... You lose 2 Chutzpah. "Hey there pup pup, wouldn't you rather hang out with me? I'm sure I can find you a big juicy steak for you." "GWORK!" ??? has joined the party! ??? has the special ability LEAP which allows him to get into melee distance on the start of an engagement.

Avi's got a carrying capacity of five since he's an alien crocodile and doesn't have hands. You may have exhausted the interesting things to see in this area. The outside beckons. "Hmm... I think I'm gonna call you Avi, how's that sound boy?" "GWORK!" "Great to hear that you like it Avi!" "Pink ???"

As has been said before, there is absolutely nothing interesting left to see, but you go back into the chamber you were in before. You begin to feel up the wall for any secrets it may hold and... oh... oh my god... it's... no it's there... beneath a hidden panel you find something... It is THE puzzle, the last puzzle. The puzzle to end all puzzles. The most secret of puzzles... and you've found it. The rules are fairly simple: The computer in the center has a extremely obscure rendition of a particular riddle written in a defunct brand of ancient Talkeetherian. The problem is, the keys are written in Sarkeetherian! But wait, there's hope, by the console is a book that contains a novel written in Sarkeetherian that was translated into English with a piece of notebook paper that describes how to translate Sarkeetherian into Talkeetherian. All you have to do is read through the English portion and find the matching Sarkeetherian words than translate those into Talkeetherian. BUT WAIT! You can't just study too much or the ansible crystal will destabilize and cause the computer to create an entirely new riddle which means you'd have to start all over again. The ansible crystal can be easily restabilized by singing the proper tune on the top console but ONLY if it's in the perfect key. The ONLY problem is that you don't know the words to the song! But... BUUUUUT BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT... there is a group of vials at the bottom that will allow you to get the confidence you need to sing the song in the right key but only ONE of them contains what you need. The other vials contain a juice that will make you very angry at slow drivers, whether there are drivers or not, another will make you THINK you can sing the words but you won't really, another just tastes REALLY REALLY BAD (EW!), and another will make you feel like dancing instead of singing! Good luck! "Pink ???"

Use Chutzpah to force yourself into studying and solving until insanity ! Or ultimately just smash the panel and drink all the vials.
If this is the final puzzle, then we must have missed some beforehand! Go back through the hole in the wall and check that room for puzzles as well.
