BEHIND THE IRON GATE © BLACK LEGEND SOFTWARE 1995 U.I.S facillity 6 was the worlds biggest and best robot detention centre. It was here that most of Europe's rouge machinery was kept under lock and key until such time as it could be examined. It had been set up after the famous Armatage case. Armatage had lost his job to a robot. In a twisted attempt at revenge had programmed a droid known as GIS 16 to systematically slaughter the board of directors, who Armatage felt were responsible for his dismissal. As planned the robot was impounded but before it was destroyed a young tech had decided to open up GIS 16 to `look into the mind of a killer'. When he discovered that the machine had been tampered with, he called the police. The trail eventually lead back to Armatage who was tried and imprisoned for the murders. Not long after this historic case laws concerning the analysis of machines involved in crime were passed. U.I.S 6 was built for the containment of criminal machinery. It ran for over fourteen years without trouble. One day all that changed. It must have been the quitest breakout in history. The warders hadn't been aware of it until it was to late. They hadn't noticed that one by one the holding pen doors were gliding up, and why should they ? The computer gave no sign of the impromptu liberation and it was five minutes until a door opened within ear shot of a guard patrol. Even when they heard the soft hiss of the bars slipping into their sockets the guard's didn`t sound the alarm. They didn't even take the saftey of their guns. Instead they just wandered round the corner unafraid and unprepared. Within one hour the entire complex was over run. The installation manager had stood in ythe control room barking out orders. Analysists and technicians had desperatly fought to regain control of their computers. They had one in the end when one of the analysists had found the glitch. Within minutes the installation had been locked down. Atleast the robots weren't going to spill out the prison. Although his major fear had been alleyed the manager could not see any bright side of the situation. Instead of beeing the man in charge of the largest robot detention centre in the world he was the man who media would hold responsible for the worlds worst robot rebellion. Of the two hudered staff in the building only 3 had got out alive. The manager jumped as the door behind him was opened. He took a deep breath and turned, half expecting to blinded by flashing cameras. It wasn`t a journalist that stood in the door though, it was a stocky man wearing a nondescript grey uniform. "Hello Mr. Knight. We've come to help you get your prison back. " The manager looked nervously at the grey clad man. "Yes sir, we belive that the machines have armed themselves. Yes Sir, very good sir, on my way". The man clicked the cell phone closed and slipped it into his breast pocket. "Well ?" "We've sent a man through the vents system, that way we can avoid messing with the doors" "The vents" the manager said in a surprised tone. "You can only just squeeze through the biggest ones, how do you intend to get any weapon in ?" "We don`t" said the soldier. "Don't worry he is a good man, very resourceful" he said as he walked towards the door. "I'm expected at the scene. coming ?" A chopper had dropped the grey clad figure on the roof of tehbuilding. It had taken him about ten minutes to absail down to the recess in which he was now crouched. The ledge was barely big enough to stand on and the man had to rely on his line to stop him from tumbling down to the streets below. In front of him a heavy metal grill blocked his way. He moulded thelast of his putty charges over a bolt head and pressed a small black reciever into the yellow blob. From his pocket he pulled out a little box. He pressed a button on the side of the box causing it a yellow LED to light. Another press started the light pulsing, slowly at first, and then with a greater frequency. He bent his knees, ready to push himself away from the grill. The yellow light stopped pulsing and a red light appeard by its side. The black box emitted an urgent sounding peeping tone and smoke filled the recess. He swung back towards the recess, landing gracefully. The grill away in one tug. He discarded it, sending it spinning silently to the floor many storeys below. Manouvering himself into the small tube that the grill had been blocking was harder than he had imagined. With so little to stand on, getting in to the tunnel head forst proved difficult. After a couple of attempts he was in and able to release his line. He began to work himself down the tunnel, using his elbows and knees to move along in the tight duct. The pencil thick torch he carried gave enough light for him to see if he was about to fall down a shaft, but little more. `Atleast there's air' he thought, trying to find something cheerful to think about. He hadn't been feeling particulary good since he was told was his days work entalied. He hadn't expressed his discontent to the commanding officer, that wasn't his place, after all it was his job, but that didn`t mean he had to like it. When they had given him his orders he had remained calm and composed, but he knew his CO had seen his eyes widen in a second of disbelief. Why had they chosen him ? The commander had waffled on about he was the only man for the job but that wasn't strictly true. He could think of ten other guys that were as good as him and two of them would probably been happy to do the job. He sighed, realising that there were no point wishing he wasn`t there. He was and he had a job to do so he might as well do it to the best of his abillity. If he didn't he'd end up as mince meat as those poor fools that had been guarding the place when it was over run. Descending the ladder had, at first, made a nice change from crawling along tunnels. After a while it hadn't seemed so great. That shaft seemed to go on forever and it had been with an audible sigh of relief as he had entered duct A27.4, his goal and the beginning of the mission proper. A sort of crawl and he was looking into the tunnel he was about to enter. `At least they`re low security inmates on this floor' he thought. He started to inhale deeply and then in short pants, psyching himself up. Gently he lifted the mesh out of its housing and poked his head through the hole. The corridor seemed to be empty but in the distance he could hear the hum of robot motors. He went through his mental checklist one last time. Keys, weapons, exit alive, not in bag. He lowered himself into the corridor without making a noise. It was time to go to work.... ** MAIN MENU ** When you load Behind The Iron Gates you will see the main menu screen.
