Level: Class 1 Drone Land
Author: Joel Mathis

        You spin around the corner in the darkness.  The beeping of the LOCK
sign gives you ample warning.  You dodge the missile and shred the heavy hulk
without blinking.  You move forward and hear bursts of vulcan fire.  You fire
into an alcove and see the fragments of a vulcan robot that was cloaked there.
This mission is a breeze, isn't there anything tougher?  You open the door, and
are face to face with the one robot you've come to fear.  You back off in panic
hoping you can get away from the terror of the class one drone...

        "Not likely!" you say?  Maybe after this level, you will change your
mind.  I wondered if I could make a tough level, but only using class one
drones as enemies.  This is the attempt.

The Backstory: Mantanence workers traveled to a mine on Phobos and discover
the early stages of infection.  A short distress signal has informed us that
infestation is minimal, but calling you in from the outer planets has given
them over a full day to dig in and prepare.

                TURN BACK NOW, BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!























SPOILERS!!!

This level isn't too complex in layout, but there are two things that can
give people trouble.

The hostages:  Go to the bottom of the curved corridor.  Then open the secret
door that leads down.  Follow the path ALL the way to the end.  This means
keep going until you hit the back wall of the corridor.  Turn around and go 
back through the door.  A secret door should have openned in the wall above
you.  The hostages are inside.

The maze of glass:  I freely admit I borrowed the layout of this from another
game.  Think of it as a 3x3x3 cube made up of smaller cubes.  The invisible
walls show up on the automap, but this view is confusing.  If you are really
despirate, here is a map:

U-Up is open
D-Down is open
B-Both up and down are open
E-Exit is up
