How it begins
You are an adult male carrying a ceremonial knife and a onion. You stand in the restaurant at the top of the Eiffel Tower. A waiter is here, busy serving drinks. Your studies of Nostradumus's predictions have led you here to save the world yet again.
It is 9:21 a.m. Your mission: Get to the top of the Eiffel Tower before 10 a.m. and cut the onion with your ceremonial knife. This act will save the world from a prophecized apocalyptic doom. Joan of Arc will help you find the exact place to do the deed.
