- ================================================================
- Description : A large alien base has been discovered by
- a Scout and Survey team in the Regulus
- Cluster on a close Terran analogue.
- Sensor readings show possible traces of
- a highly advanced technology. You've been
- assigned the job of exploration. Relax!
- Fleet Intel reports that it's 99.999%
- likely that the base is unoccupied and
- probably friendly (yeah,right!). You won't
- be allowed to carry any weapons in but your
- pistol... as usual.
-
- FI also reports that sensors show five
- areas adjoining the main plaza, and
- suggests exploration counter-clockwise from
- the southeast. Some security gates and
- devices do seem to still show energy flows...
- strange. You will beamed into one location
- showing some anomalous energy readings.
-
- By The Way - you wouldn't want to upgrade your
- insurance plan now - would you?

-
- Play notes: You will require Doom ][ and a 486/66 with
- local video to be able play this wad well.
- This wad is the largest single level we
- know of, and some impact on play speed is
- impossible to avoid. However we have used all
- means at our disposal, especially RMB, to make
- it playable, and we beleive it is.
-
- Co-op and Deathmatch notes:
- This wad is large and complex, hence not
- ideally suited for multi-player play and
- potentially slow. But, the starts are
- there and it HAS been tested and support
- HAS been added.
