Troll's Objective Message
Yo, I'm Grimy McTrollkins. I'm a troll and I work for the big guy over there: Jack Frost. I’d rather not be bothered talking with you, but I’m kind of in a bind and need your help. Jack Frost is so obsessed with icy cold that he accidentally froze shut the door to Frost Tower! I wonder if you can help me get back in. I think we can melt the door open if we can just get access to the thermostat inside the building. That thermostat uses Wi-Fi. And I’ll bet you picked up a Wi-Fi adapter for your badge when you got to the North Pole. Click on your badge and go to the Items tab. There, you should see your Wi-Fi Dongle and a button to “Open Wi-Fi CLI.” That’ll give you command-line interface access to your badge’s wireless capabilities.
