Hostile Territory by widdershinscrustacean

Sorry for putting such an obvious spin on the theme, but I had a lot of fun adding in oodles of body horror. Feel free to skip this one if that isn't your thing.
Also; this was something of an exercise in keeping track of multiple endings, (including a seeeeeecret hidden one) so if you have any feedback on that, I am very interested in hearing it :)
IMPORTANT: For some reason the online version of this game sometimes freezes up for a second or two when starting a timer. And the game has many timers. If you have some extra time and/or energy to burn, I recommend downloading the file and running it through Quest (http://textadventures.co.uk/quest) instead.

It's a bit unclear what "hand", "foot" means in the context of the sentence. I thought it was the opposite of what it is.
Background changing to black is a bit disturbing. I think it would be better if it was all in one color.
As you wrote, the screen froze for me in web version for a second. But one time it froze completely.
Also you can't select option previously selected (from second to last sentence), but you can select older one to go back a couple choices. I'm not sure it was supposed to work that way.
Anyway, I liked it a lot. Not many text adventures here. Always good to see those.
Keep it up! Cheers!
There was one sentence I didn't know how to parse, though:
"Then hear hurry off to relay the information"
What did it mean?
