Land Of Devastation Standard DataSet
Game Objective and Background
The War
-------
It happened in the early 21st century. Nobody is sure actually when
as most recorded history was lost at that point. Nobody is sure who started
it, or what the reasons were, but one thing is for sure, the world was made
very aware of the possibilities of nuclear warfare.
The estimated time is somewhere between 2001-2005 that the war
occurred. Hundreds, if not thousands, of nuclear missiles stormed through
the atmosphere. Their targets: Population centers, military outposts, and
governmental facilities.
The effects were greater than had been previously theorized. Great
blast waves levelled entire cities. All unprotected crops and livestock
perished. Those who didn't die of the initial attack were killed off by
starvation or nuclear contamination.
Sacre Base
----------
There was, however, at least one establishment that survived. A small
nuclear fallout shelter about 50 miles out from Tucson, Arizona. At the
first sighting of the nuclear clouds, the doors were sealed and the base
relied on its self-supporting supplies.
After about ten years, when internal supplies became scarce, it was
necessary to explore the outside world. The first explorations were lead
by Commander Defs Sacre, a survivalist who helped to found the shelter
before the war.
Sacre was able to locate supplies necessary to sustain life in the
shelter for many years to come. Sacre also located a pre-war weapons
laboratory, Tera Labs. At Tera Labs, Sacre and his men were able to develop
advanced energy weapons - phasers, electroblades, etc.
With these weapons, Defs Sacre upgraded the small, fragile nuclear
shelter into a full-fledged military outpost. In honor of his bravery, the
base was named "Sacre Base".
Nuclear Contamination
---------------------
As a result of the great war, vast amounts of nuclear radiation were
released into the atmosphere. This radiation, in turn, affected the
environment in ways never before imagined. Peaceful animals were mutated
into hideous beasts; Humans were transformed into a disorganized mass of
criminals. Law and order completely collapsed. It was thought that all
hope of saving the earth would be lost.
The PuriTron Device
-------------------
In the year 2022, scientists at Tera Labs developed a device known
as the PuriTron. This device would be capable of removing the radioactive
contaminants from several thousand cubic feet of air per day.
At last, it seemed that there was finally a solution to the world's
problems. The PuriTron would clean the radiation out of the atmosphere. The
radioactive mutations then would cease, and organized government could
be established. Sacre base was very anxious to see the puritron put into
action and ordered its transportation immediately.
An armed caravan left Tera Labs later that year to transport the
PuriTron to Sacre Base where it could be installed and operated. The
situation was perfect. Too Perfect. About half way through the journey, the
caravan was attacked by a fierce band of female warriors known as the
Black Widows.
The party was overwhelmed by the attack. The Black Widows had enhanced
weapons far superior to that of the caravan. The battle was devastating and
only a handful of men were able to escape. The PuriTron device, however, was
lost.
From intelligence gathering operations, it has been determined that the
Black Widows split the PuriTron into at least five separate components which
they then hide in separate locations throughout the wasteland.
The Quest
---------
Your quest, as a soldier stationed at Sacre Base, is to locate these
lost parts of the PuriTron and return them to Sacre Base where they may
be assembled and activated. The fate of the world is in your hands.
PuriTron Device Parts
---------------------
The following parts are required for the assembly and operation of the
PuriTron device. Sacre Base will pay generously for their return.
RAD EXTRACT
The Radiation extractor is a device capable of collecting radiation
from contaminated materials. The radiation is then collected and
concentrated into the storage vessel.
STORAGE VESSEL
The storage vessel is a special lead cylinder capable of storing
the concentrated radiation in a safe, leak proof environment.
FILTRON
The Filtron is a energy-enhanced filtration unit that removes large
particles such as soot, sand, etc from the air. These debris are
then sent to the RAD EXTRACT for decontamination.
CIRCULATOR
A large atmospheric collector. It collects air from the atmosphere
and sends it to the FILTRON for processing.
NOVA CELL
A power cell containing stored solar energy. This energy is used to
power the above equipment.
The following diagram illustrates how the above units operate together:

Locating The PuriTron Parts
---------------------------
Locating the lost PuriTron parts will not be easy; We have absolutely
no data as to the parts' location. You may have to rely on sources your meet
out in the wasteland to reveal the necessary information.
