Missing newline when arresting Greenup #56

>ARREST GREENUP
Greenup turns and runs away. Then a crew member reports seeing Greenup running
behind the dormitory. "He's going to try to escape in the SCIMITAR, Torbjorn!"
Commander Bly adds: "Come to my office, Torbjorn! We can see him on the station
monitor! The docking tank control panel is there, too!"
(Aquadome office)
The Aquadome office is small but tidy, with a single door leading out and a good
view of the ocean through the window.

Tip follows you into the Aquadome office and begins looking out the window.
Commander Bly is here.
There's a special Fram Bolt Wrench here.
(Your score just went up by 5 points!)

Usually, games print a blank line before the room description when there is a message associated when moving to another room.

This is handled by V-ARREST.

I'm sure there are a lot of these, and I don't know if they should be fixed or not since this game - like The Witness - look a bit different than the rest, so I'll just add other similar things here as I find them.

The CHEERS? routine (that prints the "Cheers follow as ..." message) should probably print another newline:

>ENTER SUB
Cheers follow as you start up the ladder into the docking tank.
(SCIMITAR)
You're in the pilot's seat of the SCIMITAR, its operating control panel before
you. The access panel is open.
A wraparound viewport, both fore and aft, provides a view ahead and astern. You
can also observe your surroundings with a sonarscope and a hydrophone listening
device. There's a sonarphone for communication. You'll discover other features
when you need them.
Tip is sitting behind you, checking the instruments.
As you and Tip take your places in your seats, and close the hatch, the docking
tank roof is also sliding shut.

Suddenly Commander Bly comes over and repeats, "Torbjorn, can we discuss a
private matter now?" >YES
"Come to my office, Torbjorn."
(Aquadome office)
The Aquadome office is small but tidy, with a single door leading out and a good
view of the ocean through the window.

Tip follows you into the Aquadome office and begins playing with the station
monitor.
As you enter the office, Zoe closes the door and says:
"There's a traitor here at the Aquadome, Torbjorn! I'm not saying that just
because the Air Supply System was sabotaged. I discovered other evidence after
we talked on the videophone!"

The M-ENTER case of SUB-F:

Amy Lowell is here.
Bill Greenup is here.
It's too crowded in here! You'll have to wait outside.
(docking tank)
You're now in the docking tank, at the foot of the ramp.

Tip follows you into the docking tank.
