Story
Last Episode,
our hero Billy blasted off in search off mysterious Shikadi, who serve
"The Gannalech" and plan to destroy the galaxy! After a short delay Keen
rocketed to Gnosticus VI, only to find the Council Members missing. The
Shikadi kidnapped 'em!
Keen flew to the
Shadowlands, faced horrible foes, and rescued the kidnapped ancients.
After Keen
freed them from their imprisonment, the immortal Council Members activated
their source of galactic wisdom, the Oracle. The Oracle informed Keen that
the Shikdai had nearly completed a machine to obliterate the galaxy!
This Episode finds
Keen in stealth mode, sneaking his Bean-With-Bacon Megarocket up to the
Omegamatic. Securing his Attach-O-Ray to an exhaust port, Keen enters the
Omegamatic and begins his most dangerous adventure yet!
Ending
Commander Keen has saved the day once again.
But things are still in motion...
With their Quantum Explosion
Dynamo in ruins, the Shikadi rush to their getaway ship and hightail it
back to their own galaxy.
SECRET FUSE
(Here's what happens if you broke the fuse in Korath III Base.
It's slightly different.)
With their Quantum
Explosion Dynamo in ruins, the Shikadi rush to their getaway ship to hightail
it back to their own galaxy. Due to a freak fuse malfunction, they can't
take off and are arrested by the Korath III Police for double-parking.
Keen rummages through
the control room of the QED for clues as to why the Shikadi wanted to blow
up the galaxy. He stumbles upon a note written in the Standard Galactic
Alphabet.
(Here's the translation for the note)
"Dear Billy,
You fell for my duplicate ploy in the mangling machine, and now you've
fallen for hi
it again. I'm blowing up the universe, not the stupid galaxy. This was
just a hi
big distraction, dodo. Tag - you're it.
Mortimer.
PS - Gannalech is how these dumb Shikadi pronounce Grand Intellect. Or
didn't hi
you notice that, Mister Three Fourteen?"
Keen takes the note with
him to decipher when he gets home, not seeing anything else of interest...
What does that "MM" stand
for?!
Back at home after having
saved the galaxy, Billy feeds his rain soaked parents ice cream and gently
shakes them back to consciousness. Hopefully, this won't affect his allowance.
See you Christmas '92 when
Commander Keen returns to battle for the universe! It will be the biggest
Keen ever! You won't believe your eyes!
