Story
-----

You have arrived at the residence of an enigmatic individual
known only as Mr. C.  Mr. C is best known for 'donating' money
to fund UAC's research on interdimensional travel.  With Mr. C's
help, UAC has managed to develop technology that allows humans
to travel from one place to another without crossing space.

Soon after UAC's progress, strange events have occurred at
Mr. C's residence.  Unearthly lights and snarls of beasts were
reported by those who passed by Mr. C's residence.  This has
caused some to suspect that Mr. C is not what he seems.  A few
have even ventured to say that Mr. C's true form is anything
but human, and he is using the technology developed by UAC to
open a gate from his home dimension to Earth.

After a few days of these frightening incidents, you and a
buddy were sent to investigate and stop Mr. C if possible.
You carried a sidearm with 50 bullets plus a berserk pack,
and your buddy brought in a shotgun.  Soon upon your arrival,
a grate slams shut, sealing off the escape.  Your buddy tells
you to stay behind with the berserk while he moves ahead to
clear out an area.  After a few moments you hear yells, snarls,
some gunfire, and a scream.  It is clear your buddy was killed.
Now it is your turn.  Find Mr. C, stop him, and escape alive.

Below are some areas at Mr. C's residence.

The Dark Eden
-------------
This is where it all begins and ends.  The eden is large,
and it connects to several different areas, though not all
are accessible at the start.

The Marble Hall
---------------
This long hall connects the Dark Eden to various areas inside
Mr. C's earthly residence.  Huge windows are carved into the
ceiling to provide light into this great hall.

The Lounge
----------
This is the room where Mr. C's personnel and guests sit down
and enjoy themselves.  Mr. C keeps plenty of books and games,
and a few artifacts.  Get ready to crash a party.

Twin Balconies
--------------
Aside from connecting some halls, these two areas overlook the
east wing of the library.  Many of Mr. C's prized artifacts are
on display on top some of the bookselves.
(Hint:  You need help from someone to reach them.)

The Library
-----------
Mr. C is a highly educated individual, and he keeps books of
arcane lore plus a stockpile of weapons, ammo, and other items
in this seemingly quiet area.  Visit Mr. C's seer; he is more
than happy to have your palm red -- with blood!

The Temple of Doom
------------------
This is Mr. C's dirty little secret, for it reveals his true
nature.  Beware of the cultists, for they will stop at nothing
to prevent you from leaving.

The Courtyard
-------------
Mr. C enjoys the great outdoors and awaits here for
the final confrontation.  Go ahead and make his day...
