- DATELINE: Tampa, FL, USA - November 23, 2194
-
- US Marine forces were deployed to an unnamed island SE of Costa
- Rica early today in an effort to "crackdown" on suspicious
- activities there. The island is currently under ownership of the
- Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC). In a press release just moments
- ago, General Manklow is quoted as saying, "...The UAC was recently
- found guilty of negligence in the assault on Earth by other-dimension
- forces and it now appears as if the UAC knew of the danger involved
- in such experimentation. We have discovered a paddock on a remote
- island that was apparently established to provide a stable, secure
- environment for creatures that were "retrieved" from the dimension
- portals. In this environment, UAC scientists had hoped to observe
- the behavior of these beings and perhaps even communicate with them.
- But something has happened there, something for which the UAC staff
- didn't have the foresight to plan, and, as a result, my men are
- having to put their lives in jeapordy today." More to follow as this
- story unfolds.
-
- MISSION:
-
- General Manklow has handpicked you as one of his "Elite Team Alpha."
- The few of you chosen are each handed the following brief:
-
- -The UAC base on Island "Omega" was constructed as a research
- facility but designed with a natural facade so as to be aesthetically
- pleasing to its inhabitants. Several standard "containment fields"
- (i.e. invisible force fences using deployed force poles placed at
- regular intervals) were installed to prevent roaming and/or
- stampeding and possible injury to the new inhabitants as a result.
- What was not standard for these fields was a new force science merging
- energy fields and teleportation theory. These "telefences" eliminated
- the minor physiological and psychological injury that can result from
- energy field impact - they merely teleported the "field offender" to
- a safe location, never actually allowing them to come in contact with
- the force field.
- -This much we do know from the last communication out of the base.
- There has been a massive power surge at Omega. As a result, the
- telefences are behaving erratically. One section is down completely,
- others seem to be intact but during a simultaneous entry allow 1
- field offender to pass through, and still others have had their
- destination frequencies disturbed. As a result, some creatures have
- escaped and are "on the prowl." Fortunately, due to the holiday, UAC
- staff was at a minimum although it is believed that of the 5 who were
- on duty, 0 survived.
- -There are unconfirmed reports that a rogue rebel group of Marines
- were at fault for this catastrophe.
- -Your mission is to get in and do one of two things:
- 1. Restore power to the telefences and return stray
- creatures to their exhibits.
- 2. Destroy all creatures for safe entry by civilians.
- 3. If any humans are posing as Marines, shoot on site.
- -Good luck and good shootin'!
-
- You are led to the teleport pad and administered last rites. You wonder if
- you should have stayed home and played Tetris today as you step on the pad...
