You are now Zach. Having previously revived from a horrible fainting spell, you now sit, dizzied, in front of your floating butterwolf-ghost thing. You're quite terrified, and you also have a strange desire to glomp your spiritual guest, who you have named Fensprite. What will you do?

Well... it's worth a shot.
Zach: Um... hello. I'm Zach, and... you're Fen. I'm on the right track so far, right? Fensprite: Woof. ... ^^ m(ouo)m Zach: Um... uh-huh. So... what are you, exactly? Fensprite: I'm Fen! Zach: ...Great. Okay, so... why are you here? Fensprite: To help you, silly! ...^^ (9ouo)-o Woof. Zach: Uh... okay. So... start helping. Fensprite: Um... well, we don't really have much time. Zach: Que? Fensprite: Um... what? Zach: "What?" Fensprite: We're kinda about to die. ... ^^ m(-_-)m Zach: O[]O What!?

Zach: ...I'm going to die? The HELL!? Are you high? Fensprite: Look over there. ... ^^ w(-_-)w --- Zach bit his lip and turned to match Fensprite's gaze. He found the object of interest was the Cruxtrader, which looked exactly the same as it had before. "Um... what about this is going to kill me?" Fensprite whined softly. "See that timer?" Zach paled. "T-timer...?" allowing his eyes to fully scour the device, he located the red, ticking numbers. How could he have missed that? "Oh, god... it's a bomb, isn't it?" he said, color draining from his face. "Um... I have good news and bad news. The good news is that no, it's not a bomb. The bad news is that when the timer reaches zero, you'll be hit with a meteor." The sprite shrugged. It was at that moment that the first tiny meteorite streaked through the atmosphere and drilled a hole through the floor mere feet from where Zach stood. "Oh, shit." "Woof."

You spend several seconds running around your room before realizing you're on a deadline. The clock is ticking at 2:00 now, and every second you waste is going to count towards your death.
Zach: FEN! What do I do!? Fensprite: Um... I don't know...? I mean, I do know, but it's kinda against the rules to tell you right now. Zach: ARE. YOU. SHITTING ME!?

Well, as you expected, the ever eccentric Murray was completely unhelpful. It's time for action, because you only have about 1:30 to live. If you think through it logically, you must have something in your room that could save you. Quill told you before that the pre-punched card was important, but what the hell do you use it for?

The card appears to be covered in a pattern of punched slots, sort of like a time card. That would be great if you knew what it did. However, only one of the machines in front of you has any sort of slot for this kind of thing, so... 1:15 remaining.
