    Note:- Characters move freely about the ship, so they may not be in the
    room stated in this solution at the time you arrive there. If this
    happens and you can't find the person, go to the Intercom Room on the
    Hangar Deck and: SAY, "(name)WHERE ARE YOU?....then go there.

    You may also have to chase them around once you've found them! In that
    case, ignore the following sequence of directions
    that AFTER you've encountered them according to the solution
    and use the map to reach the next mentioned location
    which may be easy if named or, if not, you will have to ensure your
    mapping is up to scratch and work out from the solution where you
    should then be!
