Code variations between these versions are shown below.

Name: MT27 Type: Subroutine Category: Text Summary: Print the captain's name during mission briefings Deep dive: Extended text tokens The Constrictor mission
This routine prints the following tokens, depending on the galaxy number: * Token 217 ("CURRUTHERS") in galaxy 0 * Token 218 ("FOSDYKE SMYTHE") in galaxy 1 * Token 219 ("FORTESQUE") in galaxy 2 This is used when printing extended token 213 as part of the mission briefings, which looks like this when printed: Commander {commander name}, I am Captain {mission captain's name} of Her Majesty's Space Navy where {mission captain's name} is replaced by one of the names above.
.MT27 LDA #217 \ Set A = 217, so when we fall through into MT28, the \ 217 gets added to the current galaxy number, so the \ extended token that is printed is 217-219 (as this is \ only called in galaxies 0 through 2)
