The Master Storytellers

>LOOK
Fresco Room:
Along the north and east walls are large frescoes, starting in the northwest and proceeding to the right. The first painting is a group portrait. The rest of the paintings depict the migration of the Implementors after the closure of the Castle of CambridgePark Drive.

>LOOK AT FIRST PAINTING
The group portrait of the Implementors recounts their exploits at Infocom, and appears to have been copied from the Unofficial Infocom Home Page's author's list.
