>Actually, the line was "escape is very much outside the realm of any realistic proposition", which isn't so much of 'it's impossible' as 'it's very unlikely', so there's no need to worry about that.



Oh your mistake, that's soooooo much better.

>Capture the lizard roaming about the room with the net, and test the buttons on it



You attempt to do so, but sweet MERRY CRYSTAL, this NEWT is a wily one leading you a merry chase around the cramped environs of this bedroom lab, sometimes you get close to CAPTURING the wee beast, but it slips away before you can SEAL THE DEAL.

The Coinage is immediately deposited into your FISCAL ABSTRACTA, where you can see this is apparently HM'S CURRENCY the POUND STERLING, you would never have guessed because those coins had images of CLAMS and WEIRDOS on them, although you must admit English Historical figures were never your forte, anyway though...

>Notice the Rad(e) Girl Plushie on the platform. Might as well take it for now.



It appears to be some sort of combination of the PLUSH DAMES and also the LADY in the PICTURE, it is, as you would conclude, quite THE BUSINESS, or as the fine minded youth of your technical peer group might say, QUITE RAD.

>Snoop around on the computer





But enough of these other distractions of PERSNICKETY SALAMANDERS, MERRIGOLD DOLL DAMSELS or BOOGEY LOOT, you're gonna upgrade your distractions to the modern age by distracting yourself with this OLD SCHOOL COMPUTATIONAL DEVICE, look at all the ICONS.
YEAH!!!!
