will have to wait and watch.  Also, to get your quarter back, you must use the

small key with coin box.



The doorbell should ring shortly as this is a conmtract for Green tentacle

glowing key.  Dave will take care of the Meteor.  Use the combination from the

arcade machine to open the inner door.  If the meteor police have been,

examine dungeon floor and you should find some ID.  Once you have the ID,

enter the Zombiematic room and give the badge to Purple Tentacle.  If you

don't have the ID, then have Razor give the contract to Dave, then as Dave,
