	AMFV is divided into three parts. The first involves PRISM's
mission to study the simulation of the future ten years after the Plan's
implementation. The second part involves PRISM's study of simulations of
20, 30, 40, and 50 years into future, and Perelman's conclusion that the
plan must be stopped. The third part deals with Ryder's attempts to
silence PRISM and Perelman, and his attempt to destroy PRISM. (I take it
you are currently in the third part.)
	But there is a definite ending: if you manage to both prevent the
attack on PRISM by the soldiers and discredit Ryder by broadcasting his
converstion with Perelman, then you enter the 'epilogue' section of the
game. The epilogue doesn't really have any puzzles you need to solve; it
just deals with PRISM's future. What happens in the epilogue? Well, I
wouldn't want to spoil it for you... but rest assured that there is a
definite ending that you can reach.
