Nothing like a little R&R I thought to myself. And damned if  I didn't deserve
it! It's  been one mission after another for as long as I can  remember. Ever
since  that new  threat to world security,  Notlob, came out  of  nowhere to
threaten mankind's existance with his network of interdimensional portals and
army of ungodly mutants my life has consisted of putting out one fire after
another. But now, at last, I can focus on what's REALLY important.. that
brunette about to put some suntan oil on her ample.. Hey! what idiot is blocking
my view?! That is when I notice the two pairs of highly polished military boots
which belonged to two strapping, world security soldiers. Damn! This is not a
good sign. The first soldier clears his throat and begins speaking. My mind
starts wandering but I can still hear bits and pieces of what he is saying..
"Threat to world security....  Notlob....  please accompany us to the Secretary
General's office.." Crap! With one last wistful look at the brunette I get my
towel and sunglasses and accompany to the two men to their waiting jeep.

The secretary general looked up from his notes with an almost apologetic smile,
"Sorry to interrupt the vacation we promised you would have, but Notlob has
given us no choice. Intelligence has discovered his latest base of operations,
and not a moment too soon I might add. We managed to insert one of our covert
stealth droids inside and the reports it sent back were not good. It appears
that the base is still under construction though progessing rapidly. From the
reports sent back we gather this base will be used as a jump station to one that
is located on the Moon. From there Notlob will be able to direct his missions
as well as keep reinforcing his diabolical army with impunity. This base must
be closed down.. PERMANENTLY.. and the Moon teleporter secured. The droid has
ascertained that Notlob is not currently at the base but security there is still
high and very formidable. You will make a high altitude parachute drop on to
the roof of the compound. The droid reports that the security camera is not
yet in place and the outer door has not been secured. Once inside however,
things will be much more difficult. The droid advises that there are multiple
laser trip wires placed throughout the installation that will trigger immediate
security attention, proceed with caution. The installation itself resembles a
spoked wheel with four sections. The Moon teleport is heavily guarded and not
accessible until you have secured the three other heavily guarded sections
and activated the controls. The rest of the report is fragmented due to the
energy interference as the Moon teleport is undergoing initial testing. Our
intelligence officers were able to make out the following phrases.. (jump tube,
radiation pool, maze, pumping station, contruction, exposed water entrance,
and unknown and lethal life forms..) before all communcations with the stealth
droid were cut off. We have not been able to figure out what they mean to the
mission but hopefully it will be of use to you. We are counting on you to close
down this latest threat from Notlob before he can use it! Good Luck and God
Speed Major!"

I was whisked away to the waiting jet and took off on my latest Save the World
mission. A nagging thought kept creeping into my mind.. sooner or later my luck
would run out right? ... Naaah! No homicidal maniac named Notlob was going to
beat me! But as I leapt from the plane and descended into darkness I wondered
what nasty surprises he had instore for me this time....
