Section - Canopic Chamber

Canopic Chamber is a room. "[if prog is 0]Based on your knowledge of ancient Egyptian tombs, you are led to believe that this room originally contained the canopic jars that housed Apepsikret's internal organs[unicode 8212]but judging from the rubble on the floor, the jars and their contents are long gone[otherwise if prog is 1]This is the room where they kept Apepsikret's lungs and stomach and liver and intestines, but the jars they were keeping them in are just rubble now[otherwise if prog is 2]This is the room where they keep all the precious rubble that tends to accumulate in ancient tombs[otherwise if prog is 3]This room is useless and you have better things to do[end if].[paragraph break]Northwest: Wheel Chamber. South: Queen's Statue Chamber. Southwest: Graven Chamber.". Canopic Chamber is southeast of Wheelroom and northeast of Graven Chamber.

The precious rubble is scenery in Canopic Chamber. Understand "potsherd" and "sherd" and "shard" and "jar" and "jars" as the rubble. The description of the rubble is "[if prog is 0]You'll need to spend quite a while in the lab determining the exact origins of these potsherds. That should make for a relaxing and enjoyable afternoon[otherwise if prog is 1]It's just broken jars[otherwise if prog is 2]This rubble is of no interest to you specifically, although a boring archaeologist would probably be really excited about it[otherwise if prog is 3]Apepsikret is aware of the attention you lavish upon this rubble and he jealously disapproves of your dillydallying[end if]."

Instead of searching the rubble, try examining the noun.

Instead of taking the rubble, say "[if prog is 0]You've already collected the necessary samples[otherwise]The rubble is of no concern to you[end if]."
