You drop the book. The history of Exilian is lost to the deep and to time. Three other things happen at a similar time.
Firstly, the SPIDERS scuttle off, such that any VITAL INFORMATION they might have had is now LOST.
Secondly, and more importantly for your immediate future, you hit a KRADULON SHARK on the head with the book. It does not take kindly to this and destroys your ship with its MIGHTY TEETH, MIGHTY FINS, and MIGHTY INSERT THIRD ITEM HERE LIST INCOMPLETE. You marvel at the power of the THIRD ITEM HERE LIST INCOMPLETE as it destroys you and all around you.
Thirdly, a small, glass-bottomed TANKARD appears spontaneously in the hand of a CONFUSED URUGUAYAN. Why this occurs, alas, you will never know.
I did tell you not to drop the book.
Would you like to play again (http://exilian.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=3275.0)?
~THE END~
