358 took infection_whole_story to event 21. It now runs INF's story from its first start to event 31's end: 401,400 frames, 379 seconds headless. Every event from 3 to 31 ends in order, the last on the staff roll. Three more gaps were the pilot's; one was the harness's god.

Event 22's cures are story boxes

Event 22's blocks 21-24 wait on Kite holding items 15/54-57 (Remedy, Custom Remedy, True Remedy, First Remedy). No script gives them; no story room's statue holds them (ROOMDATA.itemID names no E05x). They are in area 31's dungeon (D0171), in four story boxes, one a floor.

D0171_gim  floor room  x      y      type  flag
row 3      0     9     6000   21562  0     0x450036  E054 Remedy
row 4      1     11    18750  12843  0     0x450037  E055 Custom Remedy
row 9      2     7     21046  18093  0     0x450038  E056 True Remedy
row 2      3     11    21000  24890  0     0x450039  E057 First Remedy

SetItemBox gives a type-0 row with a flag that item (box_item_code(flag)). The flag is the item's code as 0x45_0000 | id (E and the id; itemTblE's code for 54 is the text E054).

The pilot gets them:

• Want::Item(id). story_wants gives it for a block short only of an important item (category 15, Kite).
• item_spot. In a story dungeon it finds the box rows holding a wanted item, nearest floor at or below Kite's first (the walker does not climb). Else a room whose row gives its statue an item, else the statue room (DungeonArea::statue_room, the room built from the type's symroom model).
• open_item. In the room it walks to the unopened gimmick nearest the row's x, y (FieldWorld::unopened_gimmick_near: switched on, still on the command list) and gives OK. The box's menus are story_player's. A room counts as done only after 300 frames there with nothing to open, since the boxes switch on with the room.

FieldWorld::unopened_statue (a statue not yet opened) is now its own function; no_active_object uses it.

A ghost walks through boxes; god left Kite one

The pilot reached the First Remedy's box and stood in it. Kite came within 0.63 of the box's centre (radius 40). The box's body was in the list where it stood, and Kite's was not. Traced room by room, Kite's body went at room (0, 10) and in every room after: there hp reached 0 and his cond[DEAD] went 2, 3, 4. With dead 4, ccSpcChar::HitCheck takes the body off the list (kite_hit_check), as in the game: a ghost goes through.

The god console heals the party at the end of each frame, so a hit worth more than Kite's HP still fells him. FieldWorld::revive_party got the members up but not Kite. It now revives Kite too (affect 20, by a member still standing). kite_stops_at_area_31_s_cure_box (with kite_stops_at_a_story_box_on_b2, now sharing kite_stops_at_the_story_box and in_story_dungeon) walks to floor 3, room 11 under god and runs at the box: he stops against it. The game's rule is untouched; only the harness's god changed.

The other two

• The cure line. info_lines (the window 355 gave piros_colour's line) is a window every pilot now answers, as it does message_open and announce. Without it the pilot waited on "Piros used the Remedy" for ever.
• Event 23's posts. Block 1 waits on four new posts read on the board, and block 2 on the mail they bring, on the desktop. The top page pilot left for the desktop first and never opened the board. New posts (and a post to write) now come before leaving.

Checked

infection_whole_story (ignored, a diagnostic: --ignored --nocapture) passes, events 3, 4 and 10-31 each ending once. The game suite (220) and the world suite (92) pass.
