 Chatting to Mike Stephenson is required to initiate the quest and return the three scrolls of missing code; while the quest is active, talking to Mike will also give a hint as to which floor each scroll can be found on. It is very possible to find one or more of the scrolls before encountering the DevTeam Office - stash them in a [[container]] as soon as possible to keep them from burning up or fading. Mike will also accept the scrolls if they are [[thrown]] to him, and a [[deaf]] character can throw one to him to begin the quest - this is done to accommodate permadeaf characters (who cannot use #chat).
