New description:

 In Ellen's section, the CD appears on the statue before it is accessible.

 == Reproduction Steps

 1. Load the attached save game
 2. On the statue in the middle of the room, select `Take` and click on the
 green gem on the statue

 The CD will be visible in its place and hovering over it will show the
 name. But trying to interact with it will result in failure dialogue. It's
 supposed to become visible and available to interact with later in the
 game, after building the speech converter and talking with the other
 computer (ScummVM does correctly handle this).

 For what it's worth, [https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pc/197601-i-have-no-
 mouth-and-i-must-scream/faqs/81771/ellen this walkthrough] describes this
 bug, although it's unclear to me whether it's based off of the original
 game or via ScummVM.

 == Tested on

 * ''I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream''
 [https://www.gog.com/en/game/i_have_no_mouth_and_i_must_scream GOG
 release]
 * ScummVM 2.9.1
