You step through the shimmering portal, and find yourself in a room hardly bigger than a closet. You explore for a little while (a ''very'' little while{{sic}}, and find no exits. One one of the walls, however, you find what seems to be some kind of vending machine. It's got a slot, and it's got a button.
