ZyzzlCon 3009, part 1

Last weekend was the annual MIT Mystery Hunt. It was my 6th time participating, and the 2nd in a row with my current team, Central Services (although three other times were with most of the same people, on Pturnips in 2005-2006 and Unseen in 2007). (I just realized that the only other Hunt I've posted about here was in 2005. I intended to write it up each year but I guess I never got around to it.) This year, teams were challenged to Escape From Zyzzlvaria, traveling across the galaxy in the year 3009 to find and rescue Captain Blastoid and her crew.

( No spoilers, but cut for length. )

...Okay, since my sleep schedule is still pretty messed up, I really need to go to bed now, so I'll end this entry here. More tomorrow, including video from when we rescued Captain Blastoid!
