>White pawn D: quickly add ADJUDICATOR'S SECRET BOOK of ULTIMATE SECRETS to the white side's library.

The WHITE PAWN D gazes reverently up at the BOOK floating against the back wall of the room. It looks like the fabled GRANDMASTER'S GUIDE, a compendium of ALL KNOWLEDGE about the world of CHESS, including all VARIANTS that could possibly be played, every ITEM in existence, every MAGICAL POWER and PIECE and every single one of their capabilities. It is said to be extremely rare, and only ADJUDICATORS may read it.

Naturally the PAWNS get to work STEALING the tome.

Or, attempting to anyway. Looks like it can't be sent to either side's library. Shoot. They could probably still read it, if they wanted.

>WHITE ADJUDICATOR: There are some fuzzy things in the corner of your vision. Maybe go downstairs several hundred floors to the OPTOMETRIST to get your eyes checked? It's a perfect opportunity what with your ROOMMATE having stepped out.

ADJUDICATORs don't have EYES, no PIECEs do, so they don't have optometrists either. Nice try, though.

The WHITE ADJUDICATOR is engrossed with POTION BREWING. It'll probably be distracted for a while, the other pieces have got time.

>LEVITATING BLACK ROOK: Help the BLACK PAWN A and the BLACK PAWN C up to the ADJUDICATORS' LAIR.

Hmm. It doesn't seem to be as simple as using levitate on the BLACK ROOK C to make it float upwards, the LEVITATING BLACK ROOK can only use the power on itself.

The DESCENDING BLACK PAWN says hey. The LEVITATING BLACK ROOK says sup.

The ROOK asks why the PAWN didn't try to drift through the gap in the wall into the LAIR. The PAWN says that gap wasn't there until a few seconds ago. Looks like there's some sort of FOG OF WAR preventing the PIECEs from seeing rooms that haven't been discovered yet from the outside.

>BLACK PAWN H: Give a surprisingly decent yet mildly disconcerting speech.

The CANDIDATE BLACK PAWN begins a speech. A speech about POWER. About how PAWNS have NO POWER in this confounded system. They work and they toil and they follow orders and for what? The gratification of higher-ranking pieces, while the PAWNS never get their due even at risk of CAPTURE or worse?

No, says the CANDIDATE PAWN. It- It means, WE- deserve better.

When it's in power, PAWNS WILL HAVE THEIR DAY. There will be JUSTICE. ORDER. LEVEL-HEADED RULE. All the pawns and pawn sympathizers need to do is VOTE H.

Meanwhile, the WHITE PAWNS master FUSION MAGIC. Ordinarily this would take 8 turns, but their quadruple bonus in research speed lowered that estimate to a blindingly fast 2. They are now masters of all things FUSION.
