- Level 1 : Contamination

-
- Prologue
- ----------
-
- After clearing up the remaining demons attacking the small city on Earth, you
- head off to Earth Central to report on your adventures in Hell. There you
- describe the creatures and horrors that you have witnessed. After ten hours
- of interrogation, they finally let you go. With your eyes half closed, you
- return to your quarters for a good night's sleep.
-
- Meanwhile...
-
- [A view of Mars in open space. Quiet, peaceful.]
- [A big, sinister space anomaly appears off the side of Mars]
-
- [Back on Earth]
-
- You twist and turn with images of a laughing Spider Demon in your nightmares.
- Suddenly you jump out of bed with sweat pouring down your face. Your
- VidCom(tm) beeps. You quickly hit the ANSWER button.
-
- A picture of a General appears on the screen.
- "Something strange has been detected near Mars. We need your analysis."
-
- Oh no, not again.
- "Yes sir, I'll be right over."
-
- You return to Earth Central. The General greets you as you approach.
- "Sorry to disturb you at this hour, but the future of the Mars base could be
- at stake. Some sort of inter-dimensional rift appeared near Mars. Here is
- the Mars Base sensor scan of the anomaly."
-
- [A computer display shows a "wormhole" in space near Mars. Scanning bars show
- a more detailed scan of it]
-
- You shake your head.
- "I'm not quite sure what it is. Are you sure the Gateways are closed?"
-
- The General explains...
- "After the disappearance of Phobos, all Gateway operations were terminated.
- This is not caused by that."
-
- He leans closer to you.
- "In any event, the Board of Directors of Union Aerospace Corporation do not
- want anything to happen to their Mars Headquarters. They requested that you
- lead a battalion of troops to help protect the base until the rift is
- secured."
-
- "But what if I refuse?"
-
- "Remember what you did to your Senior Officer? This is your chance to get
- out of the Mars Base for good. Just one more mission..."
-
- You soon find yourself in the hibernation room with many other space marines.
-
- [A view of the hibernation chamber with troops all getting ready.]
-
- [A view of the INQUISITOR leaving Earth]
-
- [A dark screen]
- En route to Mars, strange sounds trouble your hypersleep...
-
- [Sound of Crew firing and explosions]
- [Silence]
-
- ...suddenly the revival system of your hibernation chamber activates.
