Nobody is sure actually when|Las most recorded history was lost at that point. Nobody is sure who started|Lit, or what the reasons were, but one thing is for sure, the world was made|4very aware of the possibilities of nuclear warfare.|E The estimated time is somewhere between 2001-2005 that the war|Joccurred. Hundreds, if not thousands, of nuclear missiles stormed through|Jthe atmosphere. Their targets: Population centers, military outposts, and|governmental facilities.|I The effects were greater than had been previously theorized. Great|Hblast waves levelled entire cities. All unprotected crops and livestock|Hperished. Those who didn't die of the initial attack were killed off by|%starvation or nuclear contamination.| Sacre Base| ----------|L There was, however, at least one establishment that survived. A small|Hnuclear fallout shelter about 50 miles out from Tucson, Arizona. At the|Ifirst sighting of the nuclear clouds, the doors were sealed and the base|(relied on its self-supporting supplies.|J After about ten years, when internal supplies became scarce, it was|Inecessary to explore the outside world. The first explorations were lead|Gby Commander Defs Sacre, a survivalist who helped to found the shelter|before the war.|I Sacre was able to locate supplies necessary to sustain life in the|Eshelter for many years to come. Sacre also located a pre-war weapons|Nlaboratory, Terra Labs. At Terra Labs, Sacre and his men were able to develop|7advanced energy weapons - phasers, electroblades, etc.|I With these weapons, Defs Sacre upgraded the small, fragile nuclear|Kshelter into a full-fledged military outpost. In honor of his bravery, the| base was named "Sacre Base".|Nuclear Contamination|---------------------|K As a result of the great war, vast amounts of nuclear radiation were|Dreleased into the atmosphere. This radiation, in turn, affected the|Ienvironment in ways never before imagined. Peaceful animals were mutated|Iinto hideous beasts; Humans were transformed into a disorganized mass of|Gcriminals. Law and order completely collapsed. It was thought that all|(hope of saving the earth would be lost.|The PuriTron Device|-------------------|J In the year 2022, scientists at Terra Labs developed a device known|Jas the PuriTron. This device would be capable of removing the radioactive|>contaminants from several thousand cubic feet of air per day.|J At last, it seemed that there was finally a solution to the world's|Lproblems. The PuriTron would clean the radiation out of the atmosphere. The|Gradioactive mutations then would cease, and organized government could|Ibe established. Sacre base was very anxious to see the puritron put into|3action and ordered its transportation immediately.|H An armed caravan left Terra Labs later that year to transport the|EPuriTron to Sacre Base where it could be installed and operated. The|Lsituation was perfect. Too Perfect. About half way through the journey, the|Fcaravan was attacked by a fierce band of female warriors known as the|Black Widows.|M The party was overwhelmed by the attack. The Black Widows had enhanced|Lweapons far superior to that of the caravan. The battle was devastating and|Monly a handful of men were able to escape. The PuriTron device, however, was|lost.|N From intelligence gathering operations, it has been determined that the|MBlack Widows split the PuriTron into at least five separate components which|?they then hide in separate locations throughout the wasteland.|
The Quest|
---------|K Your quest, as a soldier stationed at Sacre Base, is to locate these|Hlost parts of the PuriTron and return them to Sacre Base where they may|Dbe assembled and activated. The fate of the world is in your hands.|PuriTron Device Parts|---------------------|M The following parts are required for the assembly and operation of the|D PuriTron device. Sacre Base will pay generously for their return.| RAD EXTRACT|N The Radiation extractor is a device capable of collecting radiation|K from contaminated materials. The radiation is then collected and|I concentrated into the storage vessel. Non-radiated air is sent|) to the recycler for recycling.| STORAGE VESSEL|K The storage vessel is a special lead cylinder capable of storing|H the concentrated radiation in a safe, leak proof environment.| FILTRON|N The Filtron is a energy-enhanced filtration unit that removes large|K particles such as soot, sand, etc from the air.

Furthermore, radiation poisoning makes this beast aneven greater threat.DThe creature whimpers slightly as its life ends. So much for "Man'sbest friend."EYou have encountered one of the most interesting examples of nuclear-Cinduced mutation: The Giant Rat. Descendant from the common rats ofIpre-war days, the radiation of the wastelands has caused this creature to3gain an unbelievable size. It prepares to attack...CYou grin as the rodent dies. Who needs to build a better mousetrapwith you around?IFrom around a bend you see a giant reptile heading in your direction. TheGgiant reptile is a very dangerous beast. It's tough, scaly skin is hardDto penetrate and its sharp teeth and claws pierce through most types of armor.AYour final blow tears a huge gash in the creatures scaly hide. I6guess it wasn't as hard to penetrate as you thought...CAn eerie meowing makes you abruptly assume the defensive. GreetingEyour eyes is a Gamma Tiger. A mutated descendant of the common house?cat, the thing is the size of an ox with long sharp teeth. ItsBgigantic muscles ripple as it extends its talons. Its reddish fur9adds a hellish look as it prepares to pounce on its prey.>The thing makes a friendly purring sound as it dies. It seems2almost happy to be freed of its hideous existence.I"What happens when you cross an ant with a human???". The joke lingers inHyour mind as you come face to face with the answer. This mix between manKand beast carrier with it the strengths of both creatures. The intelligenceEof a human mixed with the agility and strength of an ant make this anespecially dangerous foe.AAs your final attack deprives the beast of it's life, it staggers0backward, falling into a pool of blood. Victory!HUsually Giant Vultures wait until something is dead before trying to eatFit, but this one has other ideas. It descends upon you with it's clawspoised for attack!DThe beast flaps its broken wings a few times and then moves no more.HFrom out of the brush appears a humanoid mutant. This pour soul was mostGlikely a villager who unwisely ventured out into the wastelands withoutAprotective gear. Overcome by the severe radiation, the mutant hasEsuffered severe deformations as well as mental disorders. Lacking the@brainpower to use weapons, it prepares for a hand-to-hand fight.GYour final blow proves to strong for the mutant to handle. His lifeless*body falls to the ground in a bloody heap.DFrom out of the wasteland steps the Mutant Mother-In-Law the DreadedFBeast of every Marriage.. Now made even worse by the mutating effects6of the severe radiation..... Better prepare your self!CSomewhere there must be a very happy Mutant Son-In-Law you think as%you search her remains for valuables.FA voice yells out from the brush "Like gimme like all of your money orGlike I'll have to like kill you! Like do what I say, like now, ok?". ItJis a mutant valley-girl. Once dreaded only as department store temporariesIduring holiday seasons, the radiation has turned them into a very hideousfoe.CAs the mutant valley girl falls toward the ground, she utters "This:like really sucks dude." She will trouble you no more now.FYou see a woman emerge from behind a nearby tree. She would seem quiteFbeautiful was it not for the dagger that she menacing towards you. The%wastelands have driven her quite mad.DThat last action seems to have taken care of the deranged woman. YouBnow search through her remains for any valuables she may have been carrying.CA guy comes out of the shadows, makes several rude jokes about yourDmother, and prepares for a fight. This guy seems to be simply a meanCdude, not having much else to do, he just goes around beating up oninnocent travelers.FThe mean dude makes a few more rude remarks about your family and then>falls into a bloody heap in front of you. As you peer over hisBdesecrated remains in hopes of finding some valuables, you spit onhis fallen corpse.EA short guy jumps out from behind a bush and says "Hey man. My name'sDBart Simpson. Who the hell are you?". Obviously, this demented youth&has watched a bit too much television.BAs the Bart Simpson imitator falls you can just make out the words "Oh man!"EA man jumps out of the brush and draws his weapon. He says "The DeathGWarriors demand a tribute. Pay now or die." This man is a member of theDDeath Warriors, a ruthless gang of bandits who steal from undefended
travelers.B"Oh... So you're a fellow Death Warrior! Well, why didn't you justCso in the first place!!! If you see any of that Sacre Base scum outBthere, then make sure to waste 'em. Us Death Warriors got to stickout for each other."GOne final blow and the Death Warrior is vanquished. Although Not nearlyCas tough as you had assumed, you wonder if his companions will seekrevenge against you.EYou see what was once a fellow soldier, most likely stationed at yourEvery base. The wastelands have taken their toll upon him, causing himDto go quite insane. With both weapons and the knowledge to use them,,the Insane Soldier is very dangerous indeed.COne final blow and the Insane Soldier is vanquished. You can't helpEbut wonder how many other of your companions have suffered this fate.-Or if the same fate is in store for you......GA man jumps out from behind a bush, eyes up your pack, and says "I sureFcould use one of those..." This man is a scavenger, a person who roamsEthe wastelands in search of any valuables. Although heavily armed andGquite difficult to kill, the scavengers usually carry with them severalvaluable items.?As the scavenger falls to the ground, several useful items drop2from his pack. Looks like we hit the jackpot here!E"Users! Users! Users! I can't stand them anymore. Waking me up in theGmiddle of the night, asking for more file points! It's driving me nuts!EI want to kill them -- kill them all!" You don't know who this ravingClunatic is, but you remember reading something in the history booksDabout a unique thing called a bulletin board and an even more uniqueCindividual who operates one. Unfortunately, this dude seems to have9soaked up a bit too much radiation out in the wastelands.E"Aarrgghh... The users..... The damn users...." The distraught mutantBsysop falls to the ground in a bloody heap. I guess whatever these<bulletin boards and sysops were will remain a mystery.......DHe's Big; He's Green; And he's been exposed to high amounts of gammaAradiation. He's an incredible hulk. Although not all that bright,Ethe hulk possesses massive strength and instincts. He will be a toughBOne final crushing blow and the hulk falls before your feet. As he=dies, his body transmutates from that of the hulk to a former;adventurer you once knew. Another demonstration of just how:devastating wasteland radiation can be to the unprotected.EA giant figure approaches from the wastelands. He doesn't appear veryBintelligent, possibly even unable to speak. He makes a few obscureHgrunting noises. You have encountered a barbarian. Possessing tremendousAstrenght and hitpoints, barbarians can be very difficult to beat.@As your final blow intercepts the barbarian, his huge body falls-to the ground with a distinctive loud "thud".EFloating around up ahead you spy a strange sphere. Stopping once in aEwhile to scan the wasteland, it spots you and says "POSSIBLE HOSTILE,BCHARGING WEAPONS" It circles you a few times and speaks once more:F"CHECKING: ID CONFIRMED, MARKED FOR TERMINATION.." Having no place toCtake cover from its impending attack, you draw your weapon, all the#time wondering who sent this thing.?As your last attack strikes, the sphere explodes into shards of9metal. You take what little is left of it and travel on.EOut of the bushes jumps a BioMutant. The BioMutants are the result ofCearly 21st century biological weapons. The weapons were designed toDdebilitate enemy troops. However, they seem to have had the oppositeHeffect. The BioMutant is strong and powerful. It's mutations have causedFit to adapt very well to the nuclear-devastated terrain. UnfortunatelyBfor you, the BioMutant is smart enough to use short and long rangeweapons.EAnd another one bites the dust! Your final blow took care of the Bio-Emutant. You scavenge it's body for any weapons and ammo that may havebeen leftover.BYou have come upon a hideous beast. Until now, you have only heardElegends that the "Night Terror" exists, but now you have come face toAface with it. The Night Terror is a humanoid approximately 7 feetDtall, has four arms, and it's eyes are well adapted to seeing in thedark.EThat last blow has vanquished the Night Terror. Looking down at sevenFfeet of mangled flesh, you breath a sigh of relief that this battle is:finally over. Wonder what else lurks down here on level 2?GSomething jumps out in front of you. This dude looks like something outDof a DND game - the menacing humanoid has only one large eye. It's a,cyclops! And he doesn't look very happy.....CYou hold the large cyclops eye that you are carrying over your face?and adjust your appearance to be as reasonable a faxsimile of aAcyclops as possible. The cyclops says, "Ahhh... Yew one-eyes two.1Us one-eyes gawts stick togedder. Me let yew go."EQuite a job taking care of this one. You pluck out that one large eye7of his as a souvenir to show the guys back at the base.IOut of the bushes you here a yell "So, you defeated some of our recruits.ENow face a full fledged Death Commando!". Looks like the news of yourDkilling those death warriors back on level one has spread around. Oh2well, the inconvenience of having a reputation....BAs the death commando falls to the ground in defeat, he mutters toGyou "More will come..." and falls lifelessly to the ground. You get the'impression this isn't the last of them.GAs you round the next corner, a thug jumps out and says "Gimme all yourBmoney or die!". Although not too bright, this guy is armed with an(Uzi sub-machine gun and an electroblade!COne final thrust and the thug is vanquished. All in all, he was not,as challenging a foe as you had anticipated.CAcross the bleak, icy wastes you notice a rapidly approaching form,Fclad in furs. As he nears you notice that the furs are only symbolic,Cas his chest is bared to the frigid air, revealing light blue skin.EIce flakes from his lips as he snarls, "In the name of Lord IcePick IDclaim this land and guard it against you or any of your cold-fearingFkin. Go back to the warmth you so love, while it still lasts. Or faceAme and your corpse will serve as yet another marker." He cacklesDmaniacally as he gestures to a row of what at first glance appear toEbe statues, but are actually the bodies of his victims, frozen solid.@You silently search his body, which has already begun to freeze.A"While it still lasts" he had said. What could he have meant? A?shiver passes through you that has nothing to do with the cold.HYou notice a glint of metal from underneath the sand next to you. As youCapproach to investigate, The metal beast lurches out of the ground.FPoised on eight legs, it has incredible agility. It's metal joints andDmuscles are far superior to any biological life form. You prepare to'engage combat with the Spider Droid....?After that last blow, the Spider droid has ceased to move. It'sBelectrical system crushed, it is of no threat any more.

He pulls out s sheet of paper, looksFat it, looks at you, and says "The Death Warriors have placed a prettyInice price on your head. $2,000 dead or alive. I prefer dead." The bounty1hunter pulls out a phaser-2 and sights it on you!D"Well, I prefer DEAD also," you say as one final blow vanquishes theEmighty bounty hunter.

Defs SacreLHowdy there. Name's Defs Sacre. I used to be a warrior, but now I've retiredKand serve as bartender here at the base. I know lots about monsters, armor,Fweapons, elementals, etc. I'm also quite knowledgable about Sacre Base$itself. What you want to know about? Name's Defs Sacre, like I said.HI'm just bartender here. I used to be a wasteland warrior, but I've long2since retired. I know about lots of things though.Would you like a drink?Here you go.... One soda!DI used to be quite a warrior before I retired. In fact, it was I whodiscovered Terra Labs.JTerra Labs was a fairly advanced pre-war weapons factory. It was abandonedJwhen I and my companions located it, but as soon as we had time to exploreKit, we discovered machinery to craft many of the weapons you see around theFbase - electroblades, electrolances, etc. Troy and I moved most of the;factory equipment here, to Sacre Base, before the accident.LA few of our 'techs were working on matter warping technology at Terra Labs.KThe last thing I saw was them running out the entrance, and then Terra Labs vanished!JPoof! It vanished into thin air. Nobody knows what happened. A few patrolsIsaid they saw it in zone two, but we investigated and found nothing. ThenIone of our Sergeants claimed to have encountered it in zone 5, but again, nothing. It's a real mystery.KAh yes, the Death Warriors. They're a nasty bunch. Rumor has it they have aHcity down the main highway to the south. I've known a couple of guys whoJattempted to get inside, but they never returned. Seems to me the only wayLto get in would be to find some way to trick them into thinking you were oneof them.II know lots about weapons. What do you want to know about? Short range or>long range weapons? I also have used some grenades in my time.LThere are lots of short range weapons. My favorite is the Slicer-Dicer. TheyMdon't sell them around here - I found it on some kinda robot a ways away from)here. Hell of a battle getting the thing.JI prefer to use a gravblaster. The ammo for em is damn expensive, but they%really trash whoever you're fighting.KGrenades are one of my favorites. Since the explosion is so large, you haveMa much better chance of hitting something than you have with a ranged weapon.GBack in my fightin' days, I used to carry around a grenade pack or two.IRun into something nasty like a terminator, you can throw a grenade at itCand get a guaranteed hit before the hand-to-hand starts. Real nice.9The only BBS I've ever heard of is the Not-Yet-Named bbs.GThe Not-Yet-Named bbs? I heard it was quite a place before the war. Thenumber was 520-544-4655.HThere are lot's of enhanced armor types in the more distant areas of theLwasteland. I picked up something pretty cool once that the techs here called7"Energy armor". Got it off a dead Death Warrior Leader.HNobody really understands the elementals. Rumor has it that they are theJspirits of lost souls that have been fused into a radioactive energy form.KSuffering terribly and full of hatred, they lash out at anything that nearsHthem. They come in several varieties: Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, Ice, and5Storms. I was "visited" by one just before I retired.K[Sacre reaches for his foot and abruptly twists it at a 90 degree angle. AnKartificial polyurethane "skin" retracts to reveal a bio-mechanical implant]GMy souvenir of an encounter with a fire elemental... Troy Hadley had toCreplace 35% of my body with artificial implants so I could servive.HUnfortunately, that was the end of my combat career. You don't mess withthese elementals.JIf you see one, run. Don't even take a long range shot at it. Just get outIof there. And get out fast. Three others who were with me that day didn'tIservive. Captain Targon was still in good enough condition to drag me off or I would've bought it too...*These dwell primarily in rivers and lakes.IFire elementals live in the lava rivers to the far southeast of here. You"shouldn't see one for a long time.HEarth elementals are the most dangerous because of their proximity. They live within the low mountains.AThe domain of the Air Elemental is that of the barren wastelands.2Ice elementals may be found in the frozen regions.LNot technically an elemental, these "storms" persist in the outer zones. RadJTornados and Nuke Twisters are the most popular. These are many times moredeadly than an elemental.HThe wasteland is populated by many different creatures. Most of the onesMaround the base here are pretty wimpy and some are even unarmed. But once youMgo farther out, things get real nasty real quick. What monster do you want to know about?HCome on man, you should be able to take a rad hound easy. They're just a0beast - no real intelligence to them whatsoever.HThe Giant Rat? Another example of what the rads can do to things. I tellHyou, I always carry around a medkit to reduce the effects of the rads onme.KWe got em all out here in the wasteland - Giant Rats, Giant Reptiles, GiantHVultures, etc. They're just a freak of nature - caused by too much rads.JAnt Men? They are a strange lot. Kind of a cross between an ant and a man.GNobody knows how it happened - probably more radiation caused mutation.INasty critter. It's flying capabilities make it hard to hit. The claws on:that thing can tear right through a guy's armor. Nasty....JWe tell people not to venture out into the wasteland unprotected, but someJjust don't listen. It's sad, but there's not much we can do about it. OnceCthe rads get to em, they are completely changed - barely even humananymore.MBunch of em came over from california before the earthquake. They're not hardLto beat, but they are a nuisance. Most of em used to be cheerleaders. Pretty9nice looking too if you don't mind the green mutant skin.JThe wasteland is full of bandits. They're pretty weak - usually only armedIwith a dagger and cloth armor. Not much of a challenge for an experienced adventurer.NYeah, it's pretty sad - some of our guys just can take the pressure out there.IThey go completely mad. Nasty thing is, they have all of our training and,equipment on them. Make's em tough to fight.BThere are many different types of droids around out there. Most ofIthem are simple machines, but some like the terminators are cyborgs. MostJdroids using some kind of iron or steel plating armor. Stuff's useless for me and you though - too heavy.LThe terminators are pretty nasty. Most people think they're simply machines,Ibut theres a human brain inside em that does the thinking. I know cause IJbashed ones head open once. The terminator's real strength is it's armor -IIt's got G-4 steel plating. Stuff's too heavy for humans to use, but mostIplaces will buy it up for a decent price - it's hard to find good qualitysteel these days.IThe Black Widows? I've heard some talk of a new gang out in the mountainsJcalled the black widows. They're supposedly pretty nasty. Theyve got theirDown enhanced weapons and armor - WidowLance, Widow Armor, etc. TheirIweapons use some kind of enhanced energy pack called a "WidowPack". Don'tJknow of any stores that sell the WidowPacks - If you want to use any widow-weapons, you'll have to locate your own ammo.=Rumor has it there are some funny looking guys out there withJuniforms that say "Federation Of Planets" or something. God only knows whoLthey are or why they're here. They're pretty well trained and well equipped.HI wouldn't want to have to go up against one. Some dude named Kirk leadsthem.AHe's the leader of some weird dudes out there - security officersJor something. Don't know much about him. Nobody has ever talked to him andgot away in one piece.BThey scour the wasteland for valuables, and are typically armed to?the teeth. I've heard that the most dangerous ones are offered6membership in the Traders, one of the wasteland gangs.:Those things sure are pests. And they used to be so cute.BGamma tigers? Don't let the rep scare you, they're just overgrownBhouse cats. They play with your corpse like their cousins do with7mice, which disturbs a lot of otherwise brave recruits.@We really need the puritron: even the shrubs are getting ornery.DThey can fly. They're some sort of chaos cult, and have been causing9other wasteland gangs like the Widows a lot of headaches.DThere are some rumors of snake-men deep in the wasteland. I'd watch>out, they say the creatures eat anything: even their own kind.AThe wasteland is a dangerous place, even for our enemies, so many@band together for safety. Maybe one day we can turn this to ourCadvantage and unite all the groups into one great body, but for nowDthey're all caught up in petty differences and territorial disputes.DThere are at least eight of them vying for supremacy, so I'd say its?a good time for recruits to form teams and even the odds a bit.BThey were driven insane by long-winded 'users,' whatever they are.Ask Hadley about that....FThis base has existed since long before the pre-war days. Myself, TroyKHadley, and many of the others were put into cryogenic sleep long ago, longHbefore the great war. When we awoke, we rebuilt the base and established7some degree of order. If only I could remember more....LOur memories were adversely effected by the cryogenic sleep. I remember very$little of the events before the war.JSince we'd all had our fill of cryogenic sleep, we converted the cryogenicIfacility into the clone center. The clone center is an excellent means of.protection against the evils of the wasteland.HThe clone techs can create a clone of your body. It's odd, but the cloneJmaintains a sort of telepathic link with your outside self, and is capableLof continuing your life pretty much at the point that you left off. The onlyHdrawback is that you will lose any gain of attributes or experience that%occurred since you created the clone.IThe only thing that remained after the war was the cryogenic facility andHthe outer high-security walls. Troy and I hauled in a few loads of brickJfrom the wasteland and fleshed out the internals of the city. We built theJstores, troop quarters, puritron room, and just about everything else thatyou see.MThe walls are built of a special metallic alloy. Nothing can penetrate them..Believe me, we've tried....KYou're wondering why we'd try to cut through the walls? There's a couple ofHsecured rooms near the exit into the wastelands. We think ACME FountainsHconstructed some sort of chemical fountains in there. The keys have longsince been lost.KYou'll find 'em all over the place. Some are good, some are bad. The one inLthe central court of Sacre Base, for example, will quench even the strongest of hungers.Whatever you say, dude....0Later, dude. Hope to see you again in one piece.JeffreyJHi there! My names Jeffrey. Just got back from the wasteland this morning.HI took out three terminators with my bare hands.... And that was while IDwas blindfolded!!! Been to the Shrine of Hercules yet? So, whats up?NI'm a trainee here. But actually, I am the best warrior here at the base. It'sa secret, ya know...IThey call me Jeffrey. Don't know my last name - my parents were killed byMdeath commandos when I was very young. I got my revenge though - killed fiftyof them just last week.LYeah, I went over to their HQ and wasted them. I'd have killed more, but youIsee, lunch time was coming up so I had to let some of them go. Their camp;is south along the main highway. You have to cross a river.JThere's lots of rivers out there. You need to have a boat or raft to crossKa river. Ace warriors like me always have boats. I have some plans if you'd"like to know how to build you own.Here they are.LYeah, I've been there about six times. I go down there to practice, ya know,Kwaste stone golems and such. Takes all sorts of keys to get into the shrine/though. There's supposed to be a cool fountain.LDid I say "supposed"? A slip of the tongue. I've been there, I really have!!I go there all the time.EYeah, you need a Kill Key, Silo Key, and even a couple of others. AceJwarriors like me have all the keys. Keys are essential. I'd lend you mine,Hbut you see, I'm an ace warrior and I need them to do battles and stuff.GJust the other day I wasted three earth elementals -- at once. And with"one hand tied behind my back, too.JIt's underground, but the entrance has been lost a long time. The only way to get there is through a pylon.FDefs Sacre says the pylons formed an ancient transporation network. OfFcourse, I know the locations of all of them, and I have the keycard toAaccess all of them. Ace warriors like me use pylons all the time.IIf you were more experienced, you'd know about the keycards. I wish I hadLthe time to teach you, but there's two cabal elites out there in zone 6 thatHI have to do battle with. I think I'll leave my weapon at home and fightJthem bare handed... It's so boring killing monsters when you use a weapon.=Real warriors, like myself, always fight with our bare hands.JYeah, I was blindfolded. Wish someone had been there to see it though. TheKguys here at Sacre Base don't believe me. Next time, I'll tie a hand behindMmy back as well. Or maybe two hands... Terminators are easy to kill. At leastfor an ace warrior like me.JThe Terminator is a pretty wimpy machine. At least for me... It might be a:bit more difficult for someone less skilled like yourself.GYou really need to practice some more. I would try to train you myself,Bbut I am really too busy hunting terminators. Perhaps someone lessIexperienced than myself could help you. Defs Sacre, perhaps. I taught himeverything I know.KI'm not a recruit - they just think I am. Bureaucratic stuff, you know. I'm3really an ace warrior. Never get any credit though.IWho told you that? Someone is spreading rumors around about me. Of courseLI was not beat up by a Bart. I mean, come on, be serious, I hunt Terminatorsfor a living!EI am an ace warrior! I am! The others are just jealous of my gloriousbattles!>Oh, who cares about that. I don't deal with such wimpy things.JGood. You've delayed me long enough. I got to go back to the wasteland andkill off a cyclops or two.HadleyJNames Hadley, Troy Hadley. You wouldn't have any steaks, would you? ... Oh never mind. What you want, dude?EI'm a tech for the store room here at the base - My main specialty isJdevices and accessories. Need to know anything about a particular devices? Troy Hadley. Can't you read?LI did some work on the LRScan and Scanner for example. They're pretty usefulLwhen you're stuck in a bind. I also did some work on the GS-224 Laptop. Nicemachine.IThe LRSCAN locks into one of them spy satellites that was abandoned afterJthe war. It can generate you a 9 by 9 map of your current grid location. IGhear they work good if you get lost. There is also a LRScan ROM/Adapter1that will give a GS-224 laptop lrscan capability.IScanners? Designed the prototype myself. It sends out a scanning beam andFcan give you a bearing and distance to nearby objects - like holes andFtowns and such. Nice for exploring unfamiliar territory. There is also?a Scanner ROM/Adapter that will give your GS-224 laptop scanner capability.FThe field radio isn't really a necessity - but if you get stuck in theGwasteland and want to talk with somebody, it can be quite nice. One dayJol' Jeffrey called in on his claiming he'd slayed a terminator. We all ranLout to see and it turned out to be a robotic vacuum cleaner. Damn thing beatEthe hell out of Jeffrey too! We all got a good laugh out of that one.FI'm not a doctor so I don't know much about them. I know they make theGmedicine out of herbs that they locate out in the wasteland. That's whyHyou can sell herbs for so high around here. If a guy could build his ownJmedkit producer and gather up some herbs, he might be able to make himselfa nice business.KYuck! Those things are disgusting. Made from dead rad hounds and such. But,Ithey're about all we can mass-produce around here. I bet the supply storeKwould pay a good price for some good ol' fashioned steaks if you could findsome.II sure wish I could get my hands on some steaks. These damn troop rationsGtaste horrible. I sent word to the manager of the Horticulture center awhile ago, but nothing...LThe horticulture station is somewhere east of here in the freedom mountains.JIt's to the south of freedom city, just past the pylon. You can't miss it.ITake the main highway and head east. If you bring me back them steaks theDmanager promised me, there'll be something special in it for you....FRope? Just somethin' the supply station tries to sell you. Has no realpurpose whatsoever.MThe Laptop is one of my favorites. It's got a 80686JX processor equipped withMan 80 meg ram drive and a ROM cartridge adapter. The ROM cartridge adapter isHreally nice. Lets you upload any ROM apps that you want into the laptop.JThe computer store in the supply station sells a variety of ROM apps. I'veJheard you can find even more out in the wasteland. Any particular ROM thatyou are interested in?LThe notes ROM is pretty cool. We designed it for adventurers like Defs SacreGwho have a habit of forgetting things. It will automatically record anyJpylons, towns, forts, etc that you pass. You can then read it any time youwant.JThe rankings ROM uses the laptop's built in RF Modem to call up Sacre Base%and grab the player rankings for you.KThe viewlog ROM uses the laptop's built in RF Modem. It calls up Sacre Base5and grabs the log of recent activity for you to view.LThe transfer program uses the laptop's fiber optic link. You attach the linkKto another laptop and you can grab any software you want off of it. Nice ifEyou find somebody else's laptop and want to grab some apps off of it.IAutonav is something we are working on to automatically navigate you to aGcertain coordinate on the wasteland. It's currently in the experimentalstage.IThe fortlist program will display a listing of any fortresses you own. ItIdisplays their coords, name, owner, products for sale/buy, objects in theKstore room, and energy and med doses on hand. In addition to the bases that>you own, it will list any bases listed with the trading union.HThe CSTATS (stands for combat-stats) program will tell you your hit/missJchances against various monsters. It also has some very handy functions toIscan weapons and determine their features. It'll tell you what a weapon'sJbasic damage is, how much your strength multiplier is, etc. It can be usedFto scan your inventory to find out which items are better than others.FYou've been speaking with Whiz? Good guy. I sent him out on assignment/a while ago to investigate some software hacks.HWhiz knows a bit more than me. He's on assignment in freedom city if youwish to speak with him.+Dunno about that. Devices are my specialty. Later, dude.Mayor EastwoodHGo ahead punk, make my day! Er.. uh..

Kind of a half-way between us and theIhorticulture station. Nobody in here has been able to figure out what thepylon is for....HWe established the city a few years ago to provide a defense against thescum out there.IIt's those death warriors who cause most of the trouble.

Joe FarmerJHey dude. How's it going. Name's Joe Farmer. I got the name 'cuz I used to work at the horticulture center. Joe Farmer. At your service.LI cultivated some of the crops down at the horticulture center. Was a pretty>easy job. I came here to freedom city to become an adventurer!JThe horticulture center? It's a pretty neat place. They grow lots of cropsLthere. Also raise some cattle - their steaks are the best meals in the wholeGwasteland. The protective dome over the center keeps the radiation out. Thats how they grow the crops.LYeah, I want to be an adventurer. I'm going to go out looking for Terra Labs tomorrow.JWhiz knows more about it than I do. Just last week I heard someone mentionKthat a Trader had seen it right around here in zone two. I went out lookingHfor it, but 'nuthin. That damn Terra Labs really is the strangest thing.4I'm just a farmer. I don't know about such things...See you later.WhizKHow's it going? They call me Whiz. I'm a computer technician. I'm currently doing a job for Troy Hadley.)Whiz. I work on computers. That's my job.ETroy Hadley sent me out here to look for some special "hacked" laptopEsoftware we heard about. Once I get the information together, I'll beheading back to Sacre Base.LThere are several rumors we have heard about these hacked computer programs.IWe don't know who wrote em, but we're pretty interested. I currently know0of several: EMWarp, Ping, AntiPing, and SlothackFIt stands for emergency warp. I'm not supposed to tell people too muchGabout this, but Defs Sacre brought a device called a "Warper" into TroyJone morning. We looked into it. The technology was far out - real far out.FThe device could "teleport" a person to a different location! Anyways,Kgetting to the point -- The "EMWARP" program will interface the laptop withIthis device. When a person is about to die, the program will evaluate it,?and activate the warper. I wish I could find one of these roms.FThis is an interesting program. It sends out a special signal to otherLlaptops on the current map. When the other laptops receive this signal, theyKwill respond. It's some kind of a debug feature of the GS-224 or something.HAnyhow, the Ping program can not only determine the owner of the laptop,Jbut also the distance of that owner. It can even find them if they're in aHfortress. The only thing that can stop it is "antiping". I've heard thatJthis rom can be found in a city called "bloodlust", however I have no ideawhere this city is.LThe natural counterpart to ping. Antiping will prevent anyone from using theLping program to track down your location. As with Ping, someone told me that3this program may be found in the city of Bloodlust.FThis thing is a masterpiece. It sends an override signal into any slotImachine. The slot will keep spinning until it wins something! I'd be veryHcareful though about using it. The casino management probably won't takeMkindly to someone hacking their machines. I've heard rumors that some Tradershave posession of this rom.EThey are rumored to be located on some very dangerous monsters aroundHhere. You might be able to find the warper device on them as well as theIemwarp program. It would come in very handy to a person such as you. Goodluck.BHe's a real cool guy. Invented half of our devices himself. A goodGprogrammer too. Once I get this some info on these software hacks, I'll8give the info to him. Maybe he can do something with it.IIt's rumored that they may have been developed at Terra Labs. In fact, itCwas the last thing they were working on before the great vanishing.JYep, the whole building... gone. I suspect the warper they were working onDcreated such a large warp field that it just blasted Terra Labs into%oblivion. It gets stranger though....FI was talking to a soldier not two long ago whole claimed to have seenKTerra Labs in zone 3. Defs Sacre sent a patrol out to investigate, but theyGfound nothing. Another soldier told me he'd actually gained entrance to:Terra Labs, but in zone 5. It just makes no sense to me...Don't know about that....(Good luck, friend. Be careful out there. Trader Rick)Hello. I'm Trader Rick. What do you want? Trader Rick. I already told you.GI used to be a trader. I was captured by some warriors and brought into'Freedom City where I was rehabilitated.%They taught me how evil my ways were.HYes, I am ashamed that I was one of the evil traders.

WhyDdon't you go bother Jeffrey? Or defs sacre? They just bum around the4base all day. But me, I actually get some work done.=I kill things. Monsters, wasteland gangs, bad guys, OBNOXIOUS2ADVENTURERS, whatever. Now, please leave me alone.DI said, "LEAVE ME ALONE". [He unsheaths a Neutron Blaster and pointsit in your direction]IYeah, a Neutron Blaster. Never seen one of these before? Well, your aboutIto get a demonstration of what one will do if you don't get outa my face!I[Blam! You are momentary blinded. When you regain your senses, you noticeEyou have obtained quite a suntan across your face!] That was aimed 25Gdegrees left of your face. [You notice a large smoking hole in the wallHin line with that trajectory] Unless you want to see what one feels like(head on, you better get out of my space.IThat did it! [He draws again! As timely as always, Defs Sacre appears andEcalms down Mean Max explaining to him that adventurers these days areJquite curious and he should be a bit more kindly and spread his knowledge]FYeah, Fuel. You know, gasoline? Look, are you stupid or something? Why:don't you go out and find out about these things yourself.HWith the recovery of atomic power technology, the need for fuel has diedHoff heavily, but it is still an important commodity. The base will pay aHhefty fee for any fuel that you can recover. Now if you don't mind, I am
very busy.FAt least whats left of it. Far as I can tell, the nukes hit just aboutEeverywhere. I've had contact with other continents and they're in theEsame mess we're in. Rads in the atmosphere gonna destroy us all if we don't get that puritron online.IYeah, the Puritron. Last I knew, there was a standing order that all baseHadventurers were ORDERED to go out and find it. Now, it looks to me likeCthat is a hell of a lot more vital than standing here pestering me.<And just what do you mean by that? Get out of my face, punk.:'Bout time you got out of my way. I got work to attend to.Captain TargonDHello there soldier, my name's Captain Targon. What can I do for youthis fine day?9Captain Targon. I'm one of the officers here at the base.GI do the things that a captain does. Manage troops, coordinate attacks,Hwaste bad guys, etc. A really nice job altogether. Lately I've been busy<trying to figure out what happened to Sergeant Trell though.LWell, perhaps it's not all that fine of a day. Life's been pretty depressingDsince we lost that Puritron device. My entire job lately seems to beworking on that project.CIt would have really changed things here in the wasteland. With theLradioactive contaminants cleared out of the atmosphere, life would be almostJbearable in the wastelands. The mutations would cease and we might be able5to bring the entire zone back into civilized control.JTerrible, terrible thing to happen to a person. Some unknown effect of theFradiation according to Hadley. Has effects on people like you wouldn'tFbelieve. You either physically mutate, or you go mentally insane, or acombination of both.LIt's sad. Many of our soldiers have gone quite insane out in the wastelands.KOnce powerful forces of good, they are now our enemies just like everythingEelse out there. Perhaps once we got the puritron back, there might be something we can do for them.GI don't understand it myself. Something to do with DNA mutation. CausesJyou to be transformed into a whole new creature sometimes. Seen any of theJhumanoid mutants out there? Or the Ant-Men? Or the giant rats? All effects of mutation.HThere's several of us. Defs Sacre actually still holds officer rank evenGthough all he does any more is serve drinks here in the tavern. We wereKgoing to make Sergeant Trell an officer once he came back from his mission,but alas, no sign of him.DI am sure that the entities of the wasteland would join up to form aJcivilized government if we could just bring some order to things.... Well,&everyone but the Loki's over course...KThere's quite a few Loki Priests running about once you get a fair distanceKaway from Sacre Base. You see, the Loki's are opposed to order. They preferIchaos and anarchy. They're always trying to stir up trouble for no reasonGat all. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised if they took part in stealing the8puritron for no reason other than just to bother us all.GWe're getting quite worried about him. I sent him off about three weeksEago to investigate some reports of an unusual site out in zone three,5but his reports stopped right as he reached the site.DWe had a report from an explorer that there is some kind of militaryCbuilding out there. Trell reached the site, and radioed in, but hisCcommunications were cut off before we could get an accurate report.BAll he said was that "All would be lost if they are not stopped inGtime". We don't know who "they" are or what they are planning on doing,Bbut from Trell's tone of voice, it must have been something prettyurgent.ISorry, maybe you should try talking to Defs Sacre or Troy Hadley. They'reboth quite knowledgeable.4Nice talking to you, soldier - be careful out there. The Vampire6Welcome, Warrior. Having a pleasant post-nuclear life?GMy name's Chris Azure, you may have heard of me. Mind you, I'm the onlyDvampire who actually hangs around inside Death City. Around here I'm known simply as "The Vampire"EHmm...I must be approaching my 256th birthday. I know, I don't look a;day older than 16! That's one advantage of being a vampire."I'm a vampire, I don't need a job!FYou killed a Death Leader out there, didn't you? Or did you steal thatKbadge? Don't worry, I'm not part of their Death Clan, I'm the leader of the9Fang Gang. I'm just visiting this city for a short while.?I decided to make peace between my gang and the death warriors.MThe Death Warriors, of course, do not accept peace without due consideration.JI brought them a supply of Kill-O-Matic Series 7 defensive droids. They'requite happy about it.EThe Kill-O-Matic Series 7 is a rather special unit. For example, it'sIgravblasters have been outfitted with a 3 round burst module, making themHa very dangerous foe. The Death Warriors placed the Kill-O-Matics in theouter corridor of the city.JNobody's supposed to go that way -- You're supposed to take the short cut.LThe Death Warriors set up all the droids to take out unwanted intruders. YouGsee, quite a few Sacre Base warriors have been infiltrating the DWHQ byGtaking death badges from "retired" Death Warriors. Since the Sacre BaseHsoldiers don't know about the short cut, they take the long way, through&all of the Kill-O-Matics. Few servive.GAll you need is a DW Bypass Key. I think there's a supply of spare keysin the local store here.EThere are quite a number of Wasteland gangs now....you obviously knowFabout the Death Warriors, and the Black Widows as well, I presume. Butthere are a few others...GWell, let's see...there's the Draku Warriors, then the respectable FangDGang (of which I'm a high-ranking official). And I suppose you couldGcall the Loki religion a 'gang' as well. Oh, and of course, there's the Cabal Warriors way out there.AThere've been a lot of rumors that the Death Warriors were partlyFresponsible for the disappearance of the Puritron device, but in fact,Athey're only interested in making a profit out of everyone else's2misfortune, taking advantage of the current chaos.CThe Black Widows are quite a stylish gang, and they have the nicestElooking weapons too! You may have seen some of the warriors that hangFaround here. Go down south for some real Widows in action! You'll findBtheir base down there too! If you happen to go down there, talk toBNish. He's sort of their High Priest. You'll probably see the High>Priestess with him, but she doesn't like to talk to outsiders.CNow THEY may have had something to do with the disappearance of theEPuritron. Close ties with the Widows too. Heard of Quasar Mountain? I(think their leader hangs around there...CThe priests of Loki are mad! Floating priests bent on preaching theFword of Chaos to the world. I wonder who actually thought up the idea.FAh, how should I start? After the Holocaust, the radiation rendered usBvery susceptible to the UV radiation in common wasteland sunlight,@so now we're stuck having to crawl all over the place! You can'tEreally kill us (we're immortal), but most of us carry Em-Warps aroundDincase we become too weak to fight. The Em-Warps don't work too wellFthough, and we end up leaving our stuff behind for anyone to just pick@up as they please. Just a little hint, but that doesn't mean I'm=betraying my own kind. We've even got our own city somewhere.BWe've hidden it well. Very well. Can't have the average Sacre BaseHsoldier running around out city, now can we. I'll give you a hint - it's in a really amazing location.CMake sure you have a Uni-Translator if you come across one of theseFguys, they talk in some strange (yet poetic) language. They're Xeboc's$own warriors, and quite something...DYeah, he's the guy that's caused this whole chaos, apparently. NeverFactually met him though... A while ago, I saw him appear on one of ourLTV screens blabbing about how he's going to take over the world and everyone(else is going to die, blah blah blah....EOur city lies somewhere within a maze of radiation. Talk to Cassandra7if you manage to find the place...(she's an old friend)<I know, it looks like marble. I've always loved it that way.@He's the biggest joke of the Wastelands! The radiation never did,anything to him, he was demented from birth!DYou know Nish??!? What kind of cult religion are you involved in??!?EWell..Sunlight could possibly kill me, I suppose....mind you, there'sDnot much of that around anymore, thanks to the nukes! Still, I don't<boast about the fact that I'm immortal...not like that Xeboc character...EYeah, thanks to them, this dark cloud blocks out most sunlight. I canGstill feel it when I go outside, but indoors, I'm pretty safe really...IHmm...I haven't seen the sun for hundreds of years! It's a long time, butI don't miss it....BI may have been around for 256 years, but that doesn't mean I know EVERYTHING!$Well, good luck against those gangs!NISH2Welcome...I suppose The Vampire told you about me?GSo The Vampire mentioned me did he? Is he still hanging around in DeathCWarrior HQ? I don't know what he sees in it. He's involved with the leadership of the Fang Gang.@The Fang Gang are another of the wasteland groups, but if you'reClooking for the puritron parts, they're the LAST ones to turn to...GThey're just out to kill. Of course they take their victims belongings,Hbut they're not interested in puritron devices or anything. Rumor has it@that they have their own city somewhere around here, but I don'tknow where it is.FDid I say Puritron? Sorry, slip of the tongue. Forget I ever mentionedGit. After all, who cares about such things. My Black Widow Cult is muchmore interesting!FI'm the only male member of the Widows, and I'm only here because theyDneed a balance in their rituals.

The priestess isn't the greatest person in'the world (don't tell her I said that).FThose lunatics just aren't real! I don't know what it is though...MindDyou, this religion we're involved in down here's a bit crazy too! BeBcareful around those damn fools, they'll kill pretty much everyone!who doesn't follow their beliefs.@Well, worshipping spiders is a bit much, but I can live with it.GThese girls started off as innocent schoolgirls - the sort of girls TheEVampire would have for supper...then I came along....now they'll killGanything in sight (with the exception of the Draku Warriors, of course)EYeah that's right, I lead the Black Widow Cult. You HAVE been talkingFto The Vampire! I just had to do something about all the good guys out=there. Now my girls are on there way to conquering the world.CThe Priests of Loki? They'll kill everyone who doesn't follow their>cult... They're pretty radical - I try to stay away from them.AThat's about all I know about them. For all I know, they could be androids!So? I don't care!;Farewell...hope my girls don't surround you on the way out!PATTIJ[You see a damn good-looking girl sleeping in her chair. You wonder if youshould wake her]9Wh-what?

Zone four to be precise.GMy position is purely management. I leave the job of spreading the news3of our faith to my companions out in the wasteland.KHere in zone four, I lead the Loki Priests. They do not have the experienceJof our curates in zone 5 or our high priests in zone six. My priests existKto spread the word of our great faith. We try to be as friendly and helpful as possible.GYes, my Loki Priests are very friendly. At least for believers. We haveDa strict annihilation policy for non-believers which I have to stickHto. It's not the way I prefer to do business, but policies are policies.IYes. I could drop the annihilation policy, but then word would get to theJother high priests, to our great councils, perhaps even to our god itself.@Then my life would probably become very unpleasant. Perhaps even nonexistent.IYes, my family has had a long history of management positions. Before theCwar, my parents were involved in all forms of government managementDpositions. I became a Loki high priest so I could do for the postwarJsociety what my ancestors did for the government. They pioneered a variety of extremely important tactics.JSuch as Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). Build as many nukes as you canJand nobody will nuke you! It worked out perfectly. After all, if it wasn'tLfor the great war, you and I would not be here now. My ancestors also helpedFcreate the "Drip Down" economic policy. Tax the lower and middle classFas much as possible, and give the money to the very rich, because theyGknow how to invest it best, so they can make more money off their moneyEand become richer. 'Twas a really great system. We, the Loki, hope toreinstate such policies.IYes, we have refined the MAD policy into our NUKE policy. Our nuke policyDis simple. If it weren't for the nukes, we wouldn't be here. So moreEnukes is good. We have been attempting to locate more nukes so we canhelp spread our society.GWe have been quite successful. A while ago, some of the curates locatedBa nuclear base called Tranlius. With Xeboc's help, we were able to2re-activate the missile and prepare it for launch.DXeboc agreed to help us in our cause if we targeted on a location ofBhis choice. Some place called 'Sacre Base', if I remember. Boy I'd4hate to be in their shoes when that timer hits zero!HPlease visit my priests in Zone Four. They'll "educate" you in our ways.JIt's nothing serious - just some mumbo-jumbo about having to kill everyoneKwho disagrees with our faith. I assure you it's nothing to worry about. YouBseem to be an intelligent person, I'm sure you will agree with ourideas.EYes, we are working on extending the concepts of several tactics that&my ancestors used in the pre-war days.;Sorry, my son, you will have to seek that answer elsewhere.:Goodbye and remember to visit my priests in the wasteland!Widow PriestessFHow did you find our base? Those traders haven't been telling everyoneFagain have they? I must consult the Divine Widow as to what to do withthemFMy name is not important. I am a Widow Priestess, that is all you needto know.AVampires do not concern me. I am only concerned in matters of thegoddesses of the holy web.CThe web is all things holy and spiritual. It is not something to beItalked about casually. Our religion is very important to us. Nonbelievers;such as yourself or those infernal Lokis must be destroyed.DThe Divine Widow, blessed be her name, is all things. It was she whoFspun the Holy Web, and created the world. She teaches us to create the strong and destroy the weak.DHeretics! Do they not realize that the Divine Widow proclaimed Order and Strength above all else?,I prefer not to deal in such wordly matters.!May the Divine Widow be with you! Cassandra!Welcome. Now sit down, and relax.EYou are obviously under a lot of stress. You strive to bring peace toGthe world, though through fighting. [You get the idea that Cassandra is
a Psychic]GPeace will come, but in due time. There are many ways to achieve peace,?though I fear Xeboc will settle for nothing less than violence.DThe fool! In the end he will bring pain to only himself. He does not'realize that revenge is not the answer.DYes, that is what Xeboc yearns for. Revenge on the universe, for hisown ill-stricken life.EI realize you must fight. It is all that will stop Xeboc. He will notElisten to anyone's words. Travel to the farthest reaches of this land if you wish to confront Xeboc.GAh, you are well informed in the ways of the obscure arts. All vampires9have psychic abilities. These abilities improve with age.FYes, I am a vampire, but I do not kill. I have chosen to use my powersEto preserve rather than destroy. This comes hard with young vampires,Ebut I am old enough now to control my desires. However, our leader is0one young vampire that has overcome his desires.GI was born almost 10000 years ago, in the great days of Atlantis, and I*am thus one of the oldest living vampires.DHe has achieved much since I gave him his immortality. I was alreadyEold when I transformed him, so he has developed his powers well at an'early age, and no longer desires blood.BBlood is our life and strength. A mortal who drinks the blood of aGvampire will grow stronger, but will not be transformed unless he is on%the verge of death when he drinks it.?Ah, you want to drink my blood? Very well, it will do you good.E[Cassandra slits her neck and beckons for you to drink. Not being one=to reject an offer, you drink, and feel stronger afterwards.]GHe is a mere fledgling, and only received his immortality 30 years ago.EHe is of course a very troubled individual, and it will take him many years to overcome his desire.3Sadly, I cannot answer that which you seek to know.(Farewell, young one. May you find peace.AretasAPlease! Leave, mortal! I cannot control my desires! If you do not#leave I will be forced to kill you!6Blood! That is my desire!

I was defeated.IRather than kill me, Sacre spared my life and taught me your language andFyour customs. I have since realized that Xeboc is more a coward than a-leader. Thus, I exist to help you defeat him.JHe lies to the far southeast of here, at the very corner of this land. Hislair is heavily defended.HYes, Cabal Warriors of all sorts inhabit the areas surrounding his lair.HXeboc has even gone so far as to create a river of molten lava to defendhis territory.LThe Lava would be virtually impossible for one such as yourself to cross. WeJCabal Warriors can handle the intense heat and fire, but a weak human suchIas yourself would certainly perish. If you only had some means to protect yourself...FYes, it would be possible to create a barrier of cryogenic forces thatGcould possibly protect you from the intense heat. Unfortunately, I have never seen such as a device.HYou should seek those who live in the frigid zones to the far southwest.,perhaps one of them may be able to help you.DMy english is quite good, is it not? Defs Sacre was quite a teacher.GUnfortunately, the other warriors of Sacre Base still consider me theirFmortal enemy. Thus, I have been forced to live a life of exile here in Blood Lust.3I am sorry my friend, but I can not help you there.:May you face a glorious battle, mighty Sacre Base warrior. FreezemupJHey there, I'm Freezemup. I am the resident technical genius of this city.what can I help you with?GI just finished work on a new device - the Cryo-Unit. It creates a coolFtemperature field about your body. It is designed to allow us to leaveIthe comfortable cool areas of Frost Bite and enter your deserts and stillFmaintain our comfortable 35 below temperature. I suppose it could haveother uses though.HAs you are a normal human being, you might not understand our desire forDbelow freezing temperatures. You see, the combination of this frigidEclimate and the radiation poison has mutated us to the point where weBcan not survive in any above-freezing temperatures. Hence the needfor the Cryo-Units.IYes, for one such as yourself, you could use the cryo-unit to cross areasHthat may be several hundred degrees. You could damn near walk on the sun1with one of these.

We've got Vortex Cells, Pulse Bazookas, whatever you want.GJust ask and I'll be happy to tell you a about our nice little businessFThe vortex cell? Well, it's a nice piece of work. Something we've beenGimporting from some weapons makers a little deeper in the zone. Ya see,Jmost warriors complain about one thing: having to carry all that damn ammoGaround. You need Grav Packs for Gravblasters, Neutron Packs for NeutronISabres, etc. Well, the vortex cell solves all that. For more information,1please see the little brochures that I have made.LThe pulse weapons (pulse bazooka, pulse rifle, etc) are pretty advanced. ForLexample, we field tested the Xenon's surprise the other day out in zone two.FWasted terminators in one shot. Truly effective. For more information,IThey're sitting in the weapons store. Just hit "Show Item" and you'll seethe information I wrote up.JYou want to know about the business? Well, we're basically a retail outletJfor about a dozen of your various high tech weapon manufacturers. Plus, wedo some mods ourselves.ELike the vitron cells for example. We've taken the top technology andIenhanced these units to perform as best as possible. It's simply the bestEammunition that money can buy. See my brochures for more information.DWe sell a lot to various soldiers and mercenaries and such. We prideGourselves on only selling to the "good guys" so you won't be seeing anyJof our weapons on any monsters out there, unless, of course, they obtained$them from an unfortunate adventurer.GThese damn things... It's our whole line of mines.... They all got thisLannoying glitch in them. Has to do with fortresses. I'm going to have a talkFwith our suppliers about this. Then we've also got trouble with peopleJnot knowing how to use the mines.... I should have sold the whole lot whenI had the chance.IWell, I had a lot larger inventory in mines, but as they seem to draw theGworst kind of customers, I sold the bulk of them to Kill, Inc. The onlyJthings I still stock here at the store are the basic dumb and smart mines.IThey're a pretty exclusive club. They only deal with the best. It's theirFstanding policy that nobody can spread word of the location. It's in aKsecret location.That way, the only clients they get are those who are tough%enough to find and enter their store.LAlright, I suppose I might as well tell you a little information. Could saveIyou some money in the future. It's the triggers on all of our mines. TheyHwon't detect if a guy walks out of a fortress. One of my major customersEbought two Day Ruiners, dropped 'em on someone's base, then his enemyJteleported to the fortress, stepped outside and picked the damn things up.FOut a million five worth of mines. Boy def.... er.. uh.. my client was+upset. Only happens with fortresses though.DYeah, as long as the person isn't walking out of a fortress, they'reIhistory. For example, if My Client (we'll call him "X")... If "X"'s enemyJwas to walk onto to mine from an adjacent terrain cell, he would have beenKwasted. But, he teleported into that fortress and then left the fortress. IJthink it's some kind of built in safety - or something. Anyways, I supposeFyou could always surround a guy's base with mines. Then, the minute hewalked off, KABOOM!FYeah, just place the mines N/S/E/W of the base and you've got the poorFb**tard. Or if you got one o' them types who thinks he's so damn smartFabout putting his base with mountains on three of the four sides, then6all you have to do is mine the one exit... and KABOOM!GUh suppliers? Oh, I didn't mean suppliers. All of our stuff is directlyHissued by Sacre Base. We don't deal in _any_ black market devices... TheImines well uh... they're a special test marketing attempt by Troy Hadley.IYeah, Troy Hadley sent em.... That's where they came from. Those guys whoGaccuse us of buying weapons from the Draku's are LIARS! LIARS! LIARS! IEwant to nuke every last one of them! They'll all die! [Ed is becomingvery upset...]JSeveral of our more elite "customers" have complained that the mines don'tHwork properly. They say their enemies just walk over and pick them up! IFkeep tryin' to tell 'em - You have to U)se the mine in order to arm itDfirst!

As guardians of theEnatural order they could release aggressions in a constructive mannerAand resist future attempts at manipulation, rather then revert toAsimple beasts. Some of the rules may seem strange, but they madeAsense at the time. They even are changing slowly, but I dare not1violate them, lest chaos spread among the people.BThey would like nothing better then for things to continue as theyCare. They hunt us for that and for sport, and we return the favor.DMasters of genetics certainly. Once they went into the wasteland toCgather mutated snakes, and in their labs dissected, vivisected, andBotherwise studied the specimens. The knowledge gained was used toCcreate the first Serpine, to be fast emotionless shock troops. ButCthey found their creations too intelligent, and engineered a dumberEbreed. But, the new breed was so instinctively vicious that survivingEmembers of the original batch were able to lead them to freedom. The'number of Draku we killed that day.....DMost were just killed by Draku when ruled too intelligent. The restDwere subjected to brutal tests. Of 500, 10 were still alive to leadDthe escape, during which 6 more died. Of those, only I remain. You'can't imagine how much I miss them all.8There are some things we Serpine prefer to keep private.BThank you, I rarely get such stimulating conversation. For this ICgive you a choice: Flee now and I will merely fire a single shot atByou, or stay and let the Hunt decide which of us steps out of hereAalive. I wish their was another option, but honor ties my hands.ObiWanJAs you enter the hut, you are able to make out the presence of an old man.IHe is sitting in the center of the floor meditating. Even though you haveInot announced yourself, you can tell that he has sensed your presence andIyour intentions. This man is ObiWan, the legendary master of the mystical)forces. You great him and he responds....DAhhh yes, the force has brought you here. You have come to meet yourdestiny.FYes, I am ObiWan, master of the good side of the force. Unfortunately,Hthe Dark Side has become much more powerful in these recent centuries. ICfear that is something is not done, the universe as we know it will be lost....EI have knowledge of the location of one of the Puritron Parts. It wasFcaptured by Vayderr, one of the minions of the dark side of the force.JVayderr was once a student of mine, a champion of the forces of good. But,Fthat is another story.... The truth is, I know he came into possessionGof one of your famed puritron parts. What he has done with it, I do not9know, but only by finding him may you find what you seek.IVayderr lies in a cave near here. I must warn you though, he is protectedGby ancient powers beyond your comprehension. The dark side of the forceis most powerful.6Vayderr controls matter and all things made of matter.FVader is unaffected by the matter of this reality.... Any conventionalIweapons will be of no use to you against Vayderr. You must locate weapons.that are not made of matter of this reality...FYes, there are other realities.... The mind has great powers... PowersHbeyond imagination. Seek out a weapon crafted from the mind... an objectFbrought into this world by the subconscious, a weapon crafted from the stuff that dreams are made of.IYes, dreams are the merging of alternate realities into our own. The moreJvivid the dream, the greater its power. For example, a great warrior couldJpossibly have a dream so strong, so powerful that energies from that dream*could actually become part of our reality.LThat is all I known. You must seek out a weapon crafted from dream energies.LZone six contains many bizarre beings, perhaps one of them may have what youneed.II will consult the force... (ObiWan Meditates.....) (Nothing Happens....)May the force be with you!BAROKHAs you enter the hut, you notice a single solitary figure in the corner.IAt first, the figure appears startled, then he apparently recognized you.3You greet this mysterious figure and he responds...4I've heard of you. The others told me to expect you.HThe fraternal order of Mercinaries. We're a pretty exclusive club. We've9noticed your progress.

Here are some guidelines to get you started.|RUNNING PROGRAMS|L You will find that several programs are already installed on your laptop.|ITo activate any of them, or those you add later, merely type the name of|Jthe file (without the .COM, .EXE, or .BAT that you find at the end of the|Gname). You need not type any path-names or the like. The GS-224 will|Hactivate any file, no matter which directory it may lie in, by just the|Jspecification of the filename. It could not be simpler. The GS-224 will|Frun a variety of programs, including text editors, games, and various|Ksituation analysis utilities in its roomy 640k (approximately 640 thousand|Kcharacters) of memory. Most of these will explain their uses when you run|them.| PRE-INSTALLED DOS UTILITIES|I The DOS sub-directory on your laptop contains a number of pre-supplied|K basic utilities. You may get a listing of the files in this directory at|' any time by simply typing "DIR DOS".|A CHKDSK Explains how much memory and space you have available|? and used on your laptop, and reports any problems.|@ COPY Copies files from ROM discs that you are carrying to|( the laptop's storage space.|+ DEL Deletes a file from the laptop.|B DIR This IMPORTANT program lists all the other programs on|9 your GS-224 and some information about them.| EXIT Exits the laptop.|+ HELP Displays this information file.|@ VER Tells you the version of DOS (what allows you to run|? the programs in the first place) your laptop uses.| ADDING PROGRAMS TO YOUR LAPTOP|L We know you didn't buy a laptop so you could run its diagnostic programs:|LYou either have a ROM disk, or plan on buying one in the near future. When|Hyou have your new ROM program, merely run COPY in your laptop. It will|Ithen ask you for what inventory slot you are carrying the ROM in, and if|Fyou type ?, will display a list of your complete inventory. Once you|Jselect a ROM, the program from it will be loaded into your laptop's roomy|F80 Megabyte (about 80 million characters) hard drive, the ROM will be|Hdestroyed to prevent illegal copying, and in the future you can run the|Lprogram just like any of the pre-installed software. Hitting the enter key|%without a selection will abort COPY.|EXITING THE LAPTOP|G When you are finished using your GS-224 Laptop, merely type the name|JEXIT. This will run a program that does some minor maintenance and parks|Gyour hard drive (making it so you can travel through even the bumpiest|Gterrain without damaging any information on the drive).

Once again thank you for your selection of this fine laptop.|FWell, you brought me my steaks, so here's the information I promised:|M----------------------------------------------------------------------------| Wastelands information file.|BCompiled by Troy Hadley with help from Defs Sacre. July 19, 2014.|Towns:|# #1: Sacre Base. Located at 7, 5.|J I'm sure this one isn't news to you. It's our home camp. Both myself|B and Defs Sacre hang out in the tavern so you may find us there.|& #2: Freedom City. Located at 53, 6.|J A guy named Eastwood runs this place. To my knowledge, it's the only|) other free city left in the wasteland.|- #3: Death Warrior Camp. Located at 43, 58.|I Them nasty death warriors. Their camp is south on the main highway.|J There are nuke strikes all around it - you can't miss it. Be careful of|5 them death warriors though. The won't be friendly.|; #4: Black Widow Headquarters. Specific location unknown.|F Rumored to be located in deadwood forest, surrounded by the dark| mountains. See below.| Fountains:|L A series of fountains were constructed by ACME Fountains ∩ Ponds, Inc.|I These fountains all have certain chemical properties. For example, the|A fountain in the center of Sacre Base will nullify ones hunger.|L Two fountains lie behind sealed doors within Sacre Base. Nobody around|J here can remember what happened to the keys to these doors. It's rather|I embarrassing. Any attempts to breach the Sacre Base security walls and|. reach the sealed fountain rooms has failed.|Pylons:|N We don't know much about the pylons. They're some sort of transportation|H device -- that much is certain. Pylons come in two varieties: Red and|I Green. Different keys are used to access the different colored pylons.|H Rumor has it that the pylons are controlled by a series of colored|K buttons. There is a supposedly a laptop program to determine these color|? mappings, but as of yet, we have no copy of this laptop ROM.|J Two pylons (one green and one red) may be found close to Sacre Base.|E Follow the main highway east and then take the first branch to the| north.|Subway:|J A subway has been constructed between Sacre base and the neighboring|G village of Freedom City. Unfortunately, the mayor there was obsessed|J with charging for Subway access and a subway pass is required to access|I the subway. The mayor of freedom city has yet to supply us with any of|H the required passes. You may be able to locate some source of them in| Freedom City.|Places of interest:| Deadwood Forest.|L This place is the home of the dreaded black widows. It's true location|J is not known, but both the BW Pylon and the BW headquarters are located|G here. It's rumored to be in the dark mountains, in the south-central| portion of the map.| Quasar Mountain|J Located somewhere to the right of deadwood forest. Rumor is there is|D no way to get into the place except traveling through the pylons.|J Supposed to be many pylon's there, but I've never had the chance to see| it.| Phaser Cache|M Rumored that some kind of space craft crashed here. Don't know where it|K is, but the logical assumption is that the crash would have left a large|F radioactive scar on the landscape. Look for large concentrations of| radiation.| EEEE|H Ed's Exquisite Equipment Emporium. A nice place to buy some rather|E high-tech weapons. I can't tell you where it's located, but if you|3 explore enough, you should be able to locate it.|Major Groups:|H Death Warriors: The Death Warriors are a band of anarchistic raiders.|N They'll attack anyone, and for damn little reason. They do have a rather|; sizable headquarters located southeast of Sacre Base.|M Black Widows: These fierce female warriors should be handled with caution.|I Many of our recruits have ventured into their territory never to be| heard from again....|J Drakus: The Drakus are highly technological. They may be the source for|J some of the technology available at EEEE and other high-tech weapons| outlets.|J Priesthood of Loki: All attempts to contact the priesthood of Loki have|D failed. The priests will invariably attack anyone within their| range.| Weapons:|9 Defs Sacre and I have come across a few unusual items:|F -> Black widow weapons, armor, and ammo. The black widows have some|I interesting weapons. They appear to be some new technology. Finding|' ammo for them is quite difficult.|K -> Slicer dicer and Torpex cannon. Rumored to be possessed by some robot|C being. Weapon operation unknown - appear to not require ammo.|I -> Warper. Rumored to have the power to teleport persons. Also appears|A that there is a "Em-Warp" rom out there somewhere that will|8 automatically activate a warper if/when in danger.|!To anyone who finds this letter:|G My name is sergeant Jonathan Trell. I was sent by Sacre Base to|Kinvestigate this rather unusual site. What I have found is quite alarming.|KThis site is a nuclear base, the very first which launched missiles in the| great war.|H After examining the tranlius control computer (which was heavily|Gdamaged by the war), I have come to the conclusion that some person or|Fgroup known as "Xeboc" had infiltrated Tranlius's security system and|ordered the attack.|G This Xeboc person must be apprehended immediately because he is|Bresponsible for the deaths of approximately four billion persons.|H I have learned something even more alarming than the above. This|IXeboc individual is not only still alive, but he has ordered Tranlius to|7launch a full scale nuclear strike against Sacre Base.|E The tranlius computer will not allow me to disarm the nuclear|Imissile, so I am going to venture down an access tunnel here in hopes of|&disabling the actual nuclear missile.|I The tranlius computer reported the status of it's security drones|Ias "unknown". I am assuming that the drones are not operational. However|Hin the event that I am wrong, whoever finds this letter is obligated to|=assume my mission and prevent the destruction of Sacre Base.| Sergeant Jonathan Trell.|To Whomever Survived.....|K As the end is nearing and my strength falls weaker, I shall keep this|Gfinal summary as brief as possible. Fourteen days ago, myself, General|GParker, and Defense Secretary Wilson were relocated to Oribiter-1, the|Korbital command center. The relocation was due to defense directive K-14,|Lthat in the event of imminent nuclear conflict, the executive department be|*relocated off-world for ultimate safety. |J The ride was rather uneventful; We had conducted drills of the exact|Ksame situation twice during my term in office. General Parker and I talked|Iat great lengths about the decisions that had brought us to this point. |LDefcon-4 had been initiated at when preparation and fueling of several SSK-|G32 tactical nuclear missiles from within the Mid-east sector T-7. The|Ichoice to initiate Defcon-4 was automatic and performed by the Chiefs of|HStaff as soon as the fueling had been detected. I wasn't even consulted|about that decision.|K At 3:35am, I attended a briefing with the chiefs. We issued a demand|Hto the leaders of the nations involved that the preparations be stopped|Iimmediately, or else we would begin retaliation proceedures. All of the|Kleaders that we contacted vehemently denied that they had ordered any sort|Jof nuclear strike. All orbital scans and satellite surveilence confirmed|Kthat preperations for a nuclear strike against us were in progress. I made|-the decision to initiate condition Defcon-3.|M Directive K-14 was initiated automatically when Defcon-3 was declared. |IMy staff and I boarded the emergency presidential transportation pod and|Ewere transported to Orbiter-1 according to standard procedure. Upon|Iarrival to Orbiter-1, General Parker proceeded immediately to verify the|Lthreat with Orbiter-1's onboard sensing systems. The threat was verified. |EI issued the order that Defcon-2 be initiated and five avenger class|@tactical nuclear devices be utilized to neutralize the threat. |K Orbital platform Peacemaker-3 was already in position over the target|Iarea. Peacemaker-3 released it's a 5 device payload on schedule and the|Itarget area was neutralized. Everything had gone precisely according to|Jplan. General Parker and I proceeded to enter the codes to safely return|.the automated systems to condition Defcon-3. |G However, something went wrong. The linkup with Tranlius Base was|Lunsuccessful. The Tranlius computer would not accept the de-arming codes. |KWe issued an order to the staff personnel at Tranlius that manual override|Cbe performed and the system forcably returned to Defcon-3 state. |I What transpired in the moments to follow we are unsure of. General|KParker's best guess was that the Tranlius computer instigated an automated|Jsecurity containment procedure and terminated the support personnel. All|Dwe heard were laser blasts and screams of terror coming through the|Hcommlink. The Tranlius complex was still locked down at Defcon-2 and a|/countdown was underway to initiate Defcon-1. |K For some unknown reason, the system had enabled not only the mid-east|Jtargetted missiles, but the entire missile fleet - six orbital platforms,|Ctwelve hundred independent silos, and sixty-five submersed oceanic|Llaunchers - had been enabled, targetting the entire world. We attempted to|Icountermand the silos directly, but all attempts were unsuccessful. The|Jentire net was non-responsive. We even tried linking through the ancient|$internet, but it was down as well. |G We struggled for two hours, but it was all in vain. The missiles|Klaunched as soon as the countdown reached zero. From our vantage point in|Jthe heavens, we saw spots light up all over the earth - not only from our|Hmissiles, but from other nations' automated systems as well. Our worst|nightmare had come true. |H Three days passed while we attempted to establish contact with the|Learth. We were able to briefly contact one military establishment - "Sacre|JBase", a small outpost in the Arizona desert. My own nephew, Defs Sacre,|Gis in command of the facility. They were preparing to enter cryogenic|7sleep in order to wait out the contamination period. |G On the fourth day, something unexpected happened. We detected an|Korbital entry - not from Earth, but something that had come in on a vector|Lfrom the dark side of the moon. We attempted contact, expecting it to be a|Jvessel from one of the lunar colonies. The sensors didn't register it as|Eany known US vessel - Parker thought it might be a secret Russian or|Japanese project. |J Rather than respond to our hail, it fired some sort of energy weapon|Hat us. Orbiter-1's shields, which were designed to withstand an attack|Hfrom any known weapon, were of no use. It only took one blast from the|Kstrange craft to neutralize the shields and blast a hole in the lower deck|of Orbiter-1. |K Life support failed. Radiation levels rose. Oxygen was leaking from|Ithe damaged lower deck. It became very cold as the heating systems went|Loffline. General Parker died on the eleventh day of our suffering. I lost|ISecretary Wilson yesterday. As I finish this message, I can feel my own|Klife draining away. The hostile craft knocked Orbiter-1 from it's orbital|Iposition and we are now drifting ever closer to the Earth. I'm going to|Lattempt to get the rockets online to stabalize our orbit - but I'm not well|Lversed in such things - that was the General's field of expertise. Even if|GI do stabalize the orbit, with the environmental systems offline, it's|*doubtful that I will survive much longer.| Sincerely, |President Richard Sacre|&A Practical Guide to Advanced Weapons|9Written by The Draku High Council on Weapons Development|DTo fulfill the Draku objective of world domination, several special|Hitems have been developed. These items have been strategically "leaked"|Jinto key weapons stores (primarily the EEEE and Kill, Inc establishments)|0to provide availability to Sacre Base Warriors.|GIt is our hope that the procurement of Anti-Personnel devices by Sacre|HBase Warriors, coupled with the highly competitive nature of Sacre Base|(Warriors will lead to their extinction.|?The following devices have been created for just that purpose.| Mine Basics| -----------|I All anti-personnel mines utilize a proximity detector device. The|Eproximity detector is triggered whenever a human intruder enters the|perimeter of the mine.|J Mines are available with two basic proximity detectors: The "DUMB"|Fmodel which will detonate when any human enters the area and the more|Ladvanced "SMART" model which will detonate only when a human other than the|(owner of the mine enters the perimeter.|0 Several different charges are available:|H EXPLOSIVE: All mines include the basic explosive unit. Different|E degrees of explosives are available from a mild 5-10 damage|0 explosive to a 20-35 damage explosive.|H ZAPPER: The exclusive Draku energy zapper unit (EZU) may also be|J incorporated into a mine. The EZU will drain all ammunition from|0 the intruder, leaving him defenseless.|D TELEPORTER: The teleporter unit will send the human intruder|) immediately back to Sacre Base.|6 RCU: Robotic Combat units are discussed below.|Warning Systems|---------------|K All Draku mines may be configured in either a warning or no-warning|K(surprise) mode. The warning mode is useful for deterrence. The human will|Kbe warned prior to entering a protected zone, giving the human a chance to|Jback down. Our studies have shown humans to lack bravery, and thus giving|Gthem the chance to leave may keep from wasting a potentially expensive|explosive device.|H The no-warning (surprise) mode allows for the maximum element of|Gsurprise, frequently resulting in the immediate death of the intruder.|Robomine Series|F The Robomines are the most complex of all Draku anti-personnel|Hdevises. Each Robomine includes not only a cluster of explosive charges|Dwhich will detonate upon triggering by an intruder, but an imbedded|robotic combat unit (RCU)|H The RCU is available in several configurations, ranging from the|IMark II RCU which roughly approximates a difficult zone 2 monster to the|DMark VI RCU which approximates a far more difficult zone 6 monster.|Guardian Model|--------------|M The Guardian model has been developed for the ultimate in destructive|Jcapability. It combines a highly effective explosive device (in the 20-35|3capacity) coupled with a zapper and a Mark VI RCU.|G The 20-35 explosive charge will cause significant damage to the|Hintruder. Following that will be the Zapper which will drain all of the|Gattackers ammunition. The player will be virtually defenseless when he| encounters the Mark VI RCU.| Activation| ----------|I It is important to note that the mine must in fact be "Installed"|Hby "using" it. A user may not simply drop a mine in a specific location|Jand expect it to be armed - the mine must first be installed by using the|"use" command.|Distribution|------------|< Mines will be distributed to the following entities:|G Kill, Inc: For sales to humans and elite warriors. Kill, Inc is|) located on a secret island.|L EEEE: Sales to mercenaries, as well as Sacre Base soldiers. The EEEE|B is located along a southern highway from Sacre Base.|N Xeboc: For use in the war against the humans. Xeboc's base is unknown;|J all communication will be with cabal warriors in the field.|? Draku Protection Forces: For protection of our borders.|#ACME Weapons: Weaponsmith services|#----------------------------------|L ACME Weapons maintains a full-time weaponsmith to provide the public|M with various conversions, modifications, and upgrades to existing weapons.|0 The range of our services are outlined below:| ACCURIZE (10%, 20%, or 30%)|I Accurizing a weapon is simply the process of improving a weapon's|J accuracy. We are capable of improving accuracy by 10% to 30%, depending| on your requirements.|M Your accuracy will be improved whenever you use the accurized weapon,|I and only when you use the accurized weapon. For example, if you had an|F "accurized neutron rifle" and a standard "neutron sabre", then your|K accuracy when you shoot the neutron rifle would be 10% greater, but your|A accuracy while using the neutron sabre would remain unchanged.|J Accurizing can be performed only once. If a weapon is accurized to|5 10%, it cannot then be re-accurized to 20% or 30%.|F Accurizing can be performed on both long range and short range| weapons.| INTENSIFY (10%, 20%, or 30%)|L Intensification is the process of improving the damage that a weapon|M inflicts. We are capable of improving this damage by 10% to 30%, depending|J As with accurizing, intensifying is in effect whenever you use the|9 intensified weapon, and only when you use that weapon.|L Intensifying can be performed only once to a weapon. A weapon cannot|( be re-intensified to a greater level.|H Intensifying can be performed on both long range and short range|UNI-AMMO CONVERSION|M Uni-Ammo conversion is a special service we offer for energy weapons.|K You have probably experienced frustrating situations when you lacked the|I required type of ammunition for a weapon, but had a surplus of another| incompatible type on hand.|J Uni-Ammo will fix this problem. With a Uni-Ammo conversion package|G installed, your energy weapon will be able to use any type of energy|/ ammunition that you may have, automatically.|I The Uni-Ammo conversion works only with ENERGY WEAPONS and ENERGY|+ AMMO. For example, see the below tables:|9 COMPATIBLE WITH INCOMPATIBLE WITH|- Electroblade Knife|. Electrosword Dagger|- Electrolance Sword|2 Neutron Sabre Razorlance|0 All Phasers Crossbow|3 Comp Blaster Clip Pistol|/ Grav Blast Uzi SMG| Plasma Blast| Neutron Rifle|6 Power Pack Crossbow bolts|0 Power Belt 9mm ammo| Grav Pack| Plasma Pack| Neutron Pack|I The above tables are not an exhaustive list; There are many other|M weapons and ammo that the Uni-Ammo conversion may be used with. Please see|( our weaponsmith for more information.|G NOTE: A weapon with a more advanced ammunition type may require|J more charges from a more primitive weapon type. For example, a Uni-Ammo|G Neutron Blaster would require the following ammunition for one shot:|) Power Pack or Power Belt: 5 units|) Grav Pack...............: 3 units|) Plasma Pack.............: 2 units|) WidowPack...............: 2 units|( Neutron Pack............: 1 unit|I Ammunition packs with fewer than the required number of units are|L thus unusable (i.e. in the above example, a Power Pack/4 or a Grav Pack/2| would be useless)|H Using the CSTATS ROM with the "/uniammo" switch will display the|E ammunition requirements for any weapons with Uni-Ammo conversions.|J Uni-Ammo conversions may be performed on both long range and short| range weapons.| THREE ROUND BURST CONVERSION|I Our three round burst conversion allows your long range weapon to|N fire three shots in rapid succession. By firing three shots instead of one,|- your potential for damage is much greater.|I Due to weapon vibration, the accuracy of your weapon will degrade|' as each of the three shots is fired:|$ First shot...: 100% Accuracy|$ Second shot..: 80% Accuracy|$ Third shot...: 60% Accuracy|I Even with the reduced accuracy on the second and third shots, the|< shots are still capable of doing full damage if they hit.|G Conversions may only be performed on Energy Weapons such as the|J phasers, comp blaster, gravblast, etc. Conversions may not be performed|F on conventional weapons such as crossbows, clip pistols, uzis, etc.|I Three round burst conversions may only be performed on long range|SHOCKWAVE BLASTER MODULE|M Our shockwave blaster represents a new innovation in wasteland combat|K tactics. The shockwave blaster will fire a precisely calculated burst of|J high frequency energy in the direction of your enemy. This energy burst|L has a very high impact force and may cuase your enemy to drop one or more| of his items.|K Extensive testing on real world combat simulations has revealed the|N odds of causing a hostile to drop an item to be approximately 15%. Although|G this is not very frequently, one must understand that the loss of an|L important item (such as a weapon or ammunition pack) could be devestating| to the opponent.|GRENADE LAUNCHER|J There has long been a debate between combatants about the use of a|J grenade versus that of a long range weapon. Grenades have the advantage|K of scoring a definite hit due to their large blast range. However, their|M limited availability and restricted damage ranges make them less effective| than a long range weapon.|L Combatants have long had to choose between one or the other. This is|I no longer the case. ACME Weapons is now proud to offer the new line of|J MKL-29TU grenade launching accessories. We can mount a grenade launcher|N tube to ANY long range weapon. This will allow you to both launch a grenade|/ and fire a long range shot at the same time.|N Caution: The bulky addition of the grenade launcher will have negetive|E effects on the normal accuracy of your long range weapons. We have|J calculated that most shooters experience a 30% loss in accuracy while a|0 grenade launcher is attached to their weapon.|ARMOR BURNER|F We at ACME Weapons have long noticed the proliferation of high|L strength armor types in the wastelands. These armor types can have a very|I detrimental effect on combat efficiency. Warriors have complained that|L they sometimes spend more time hacking an enemies armor to bits than they|# spend hitting the enemy himself.|G We have a solution. Through extensive in-field testing, we have|M devised a special modulation frequency which when applied to a short range|M weapon's energy field, will cause increased damage when the weapon impacts| armor of any type.|M We are proud to offer armor burning enhancements that range from 200%|L to 800% of normal damage levels. Damage inflicted on the opponent himself|N is unaffected by this modification, but destruction of the opponent's armor|1 may now be accomplished at a much faster rate.| DEATHPULSE|I Our deathpulse unit is an advanced modification which will charge|L your short range weapon with a substantially greater amount of power than|G normal. The net increase should be 500% to 1000%. However, there are| some concerns:|E - The increased power level may damage your weapon, making it|F unusable. ACME Weapons does operate a repair department, but| repairs are costly.|D - Because it's charged to a higher potential, it will eat up|4 significantly more ammunition than normal.|C Once your weapon is equipped with the deathpulse module, we|G recommend only using it in extreme situations where it is absolutely| necessary.|USE OF THE CSTATS ROM|J The GS-224 Laptop (available from Sacre Base) can be equipped with|I a very useful program entitled "CSTATS". CSTATS will display a weapons|K profile for your short and long range weapons. This profile will display|J any Accurize or Intensify operations that have been performed, Uni-Ammo|/ conversions, 3 round burst conversions, etc.|H The CSTATS ROM may also be used to display ammo requirements for|: Uni-Ammo weapons by using the "CSTATS /UNIAMMO" switch.|K Please see your Laptop's HELP command for more information on using|
