OK so you manage to rescue the HWoMBeP from his own monster.
Shall the rest of us scramble for a computer in which to upload

Perhaps I misunderstood the purpose of the HRV (HWoMBeP
Rescue Vehicle). Is it to whisk him away to safety from the Singularity,
or from the hoards of peasants with pitchforks and torches that have
gathered outside the castle walls? spike
