- Description :Ever wonder where all of those soldiers you
- :have to kill come from? Well, your curiosity
- :got the best of you, and you decided to find out.
-
- :Bad idea.
-
-
- :On a visit to the Aubrey Penhew Military Academy,
- :you were horrified to learn that the entire campus
- : -- faculty, staff, and students -- have been
- :taken over by those Nefarious Demons From Beyond
- :Space and Time. You were stripped of your gear,
- :smacked around, and made to watch twelve straight
- :hours of "Fantasy Island" re-runs.
-
- :Bummer.
-
- :After enduring a half day of your one-time comrades
- :kneeling on their knees making "'da plane! 'da plane!"
- :jokes, you were ready saw off your ears with a butter
- :knife. Just as you were eyeying your plastic utensils,
- :the Sgt.-in-charge dashed in and announced that
- :the parade-in-review was about to start.
-
- :You were unceremoniously thrown into a basement storage
- :room, your only company in the sudden solitude being
- :the pounding of your heart and the remembered sound of
- :Ricardo Montobaln spewing platitudes to the half-crazed
- :Tatoo.
-
- :Around you, the once-dapper cadets could be heard
- :readying their soiled uniforms for a twisted
- :version of the weekly pass-in-review. You were about
- :to turn inward to try to decide if Tatoo and Mr. Rourke's
- :relationship was a mere working one or somehow something
- :more, when you realized that the griping of the cadets around
- :you had a decidedly dark tone to it. That alone was of little
- :surprise -- after all, they were possessed and all -- but
- :you'd been in the marines long enough to hear the truth behind
- :the growling, screeching, pea-soup-spitting words.
-
- :The academy had a serious morale problem.
-
- :Hope jolted your heart. You could use this knowledge. If only...
-
- :That was when your hand touched the smooth barrel of the shotgun.
-
- :You grinned evily. Now it was time to pay those bastards back.
- :You decided as you strode towards the door that, if there were
- :enough left alive, you'd make them watch "Starsky and Hutch"...
- :in German.
-
- :With thoughts of Phillip Michael Glasier spouting
- :"Du! Kommen Sie hier!", you pressed the door and watched as it
- :started sliding upwards...
