Congratulations on the purchase of your brand new Arrakis Ornithopter,
brought to you by the wonderful people at Pharmare. Your ornithopter is a
complex tool, regarding much in the way of maintenance and care in order to
properly function.
You may wish to keep the following simple controls handy when using
your Pharmare Arrakis Ornithopter:
Entering : To enter your ornithopter, or someone else's, you
can use either 'board' or 'enter'.
Syntax: [board enter] ornithopter
Leaving : To leave any ornithopter you happen to be in, you
can use either 'leave' or 'exit'.
Syntax: [leave exit]
Lifting off : You can't get anywhere in your ornithopter until
you can get it off the ground. Use the 'takeoff' or
'liftoff' commands to do this.
Syntax: [takeoff liftoff]
Landing : You can't exit from a flying ornithopter; use the
'land' command to return to the safety of the
ground.
Syntax: [land]
Docking : You don't want to leave your Pharmare Arrakis
Ornithopter out in the open where just anyone can
steal it, do you? Find a landing pad, and use the
'dock' command to bring her home to safety.
Syntax: [dock]
Taking command : Anyone can hop into the pilot's seat by using the
'pilot', 'steer' or 'control' commands. You, the
proud owner of your Pharmare Arrakis
Ornithopter, can take control of your Ornithopter
at any time, and a pilot that has proven himself or
herself to be asleep at the wheel can be replaced
with these two commands.
Syntax: [control pilot steer]
Giving command : Should you decide that someone else deserves the
joy of flying your Pharmare Arrakis Ornithopter,
you can give up control with the 'relieve',
'release' or 'stoppilot' commands.
Syntax: [relieve release stoppilot]
Movement : Your Pharmare Arrakis Ornithopter can fly in any of
the eight cartesian points, north, northeast, east,
southeast, south, southwest, west, and northwest.
Syntax: [n, ne, e, se, s, sw, w, nw or any of the
long versions of those directions]
Refuelling : It's true; your Pharmare Arrakis Ornithopter can
run out of fuel. To keep it in top condition, you
will want to refuel it. This can be done by flying
to a refuelling pad and using the 'refuel' command.
Syntax: [refuel <amount>]
Theft Prevention : Pharmare Arrakis Ornithopters are very hot
commodities, and we at $YELLOWPharmare recommend that you
'lock' your ornithopter when you are not using it.
Your locked ornithopter can be unlocked with the
'unlock' command.
Syntax: [lock unlock] ornithopter
We at Pharmare would like to thank you once again for your purchase,
and hope you have as much fun flying your Pharmare Arrakis Ornithopter as
we did building them. Thank you once again for your patronage.
