Something went wrong during *my* teleport! What can I do?
  • 1 of 3: Nothing much.
  • 2 of 3: Just stand and watch as you're tele-zapped around to several different locations, unable to move hardly at all (much like what happened to Barney at the end of Blue Shift).
  • 3 of 3: After you get your only view of an ichthyosaur for the entire game, you'll end up on a small catwalk segment just outside the teleporter lab.
