Once Tool is brought to Ike, a cut-scene takes over as Tool performs the procedure
to restore the old robot’s memory. Tool is successful, and Ike now remembers the wax
cylinder fragment Sam’s parents sent to him and will pass it on to Sam. With another
piece of the puzzle in hand, Sam can board the Priestess’ zeppelin and return to her
bubble home.
New Boston
Finally Sam will be able to travel to New Boston, the Moon colony. Sent there on the
Electric Priestess’ private rocket, Sam will encounter the friendly extraterrestrials
known by Earthlings as “Moonies.”
On some of their research projects, Sam’s parents had worked with one of the
Torso Moonies, a fellow by the name of Dulo. It is this Moonie Sam must find, since the
Electric Priestess suspects that he has another piece of the wax cylinder. New Boston
itself is another domed city — like Benthos — and its inhabitants are able to live much
as they do on Earth. Earth-like gravity is maintained inside the dome, and a device
called an Atmospherator generates breathable air for all the inhabitants. Some
Bi-Header Moonies live inside New Boston, assisting with research projects.
When Sam inquires about Dulo, he will be told that Dulo, as a Torso Moonie, is not
allowed inside the Moon colony, so Sam will have to acquire a space suit and go out onto
the Moon’s surface to find him. Shortly after going out onto the surface, Sam will meet
Dulo. Dulo explains that, as a Torso Moonie, he was not able to work with humans.
Sam’s parents, however, noticed that Dulo had some special talents in their field of
research, and as a result were willing to leave New Boston and travel to Dulo’s home on
the Moon’s surface.
