It had been a time of terror -- one that had become known as the great turning point of history. After a vast nuclear war on Earth, the Human race was nearly wiped out. Radiation loomed over the continents and absorbed into the vast oceans. The water supply, which covered more than 3/4 of the planet, became con- taminated. Quickly, the remaining population contributed in converting the remaining water supply into "water crystals". These new crystals were protected from any form of contamination due to atomic structure. The money system collapsed and soon became useless. Water crystals soon became the only source of bartering. Meanwhile, other inner space planets were in the process of developing their own civilizations -- one planet in particular, Hydrania. However, Hydrania lacked a major environmental resource in order to become a powerhouse of the galaxy, an abundant water supply. With Earth in its weakened position, Hydrania seized the opportunity to attack. Overkill, the commander of Hydrania, led the merciless invasion on Earth. His scaled soldiers, known as Hydrites, attempted to collect the remaining water crystals. In retaliation, the remaining survivors of Earth formed a small alliance, the HX Force. The alliance managed to hide their water crystals deep below Earth's surface and fend off several Hydrite regiments. However, the HX Force was overrun by Hydrites and eventually defeated. During this attack, the Hydrites managed to capture over twenty million water crystals and return to Hydrania for decrystalization. Luckily, Overkill was unable to capture Earth's entire water crystal supply. What remains now for the few Humans on Earth is a hidden Complex stationed in an unknown terrain. Here, the survivors are protected from the dangers of the surrounding environment. In order to stay alive, however, these people must venture out into wastelands to search for food and find the remaining water crystals. But, still lingering throughout the wastelands are the Hydrites, also seeking the remaining water crystals. Other mutants have crawled into existence from the horrifying radiation effects. They too, as well as other creatures, are striving for survival -- the survival of the fittest. For the remaining survivors, the primary goal is to locate the dreaded Overkill commander and exterminate him. However, the hard part is merely surviving. {#2} Character Information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The character configuration consists of the following attributes: Strength (STR): ~~~~~~~~ Strength is primarily the ability to exert force - especially during combat. The greater your strength, the more damage you will be able to inflict in combat. Strength also increases the number of items you are able to carry in your backpack. Dexterity (DEX): ~~~~~~~~~ Dexterity refers to manual dexterity and general agility. The greater your dexterity, the more effective you will be in combat. Dexterity also gives you speed and sense of direction when running. Hit Points (HPs): ~~~~~~~~~~ Hit Points are the most important of all attributes. A player is considered deceased if his/her hit points equal zero or below. When viewing a player's status, the first number for hit points is their current value. The second number is the maximum amount of hit points. Radiation (RAD): ~~~~~~~~~ This attribute displays the percentage of radiation contamination for a player. A radiation factor of over 50% will prohibit a player from re-entering the Complex from the wastelands. In hand-to-hand combat, the player is affected from the opponent's radiation factor (and vice- versa). If the radiation percentage of a player reaches over 70%, the radiation will start to harshly affect the body. Hit points will begin to permanently diminish. Experience (EXP): ~~~~~~~~~~ Experience Points are awarded for efforts a player accomplishes. The most effective way of gaining experience is by killing monsters, among other miraculous feats. Players may also gain experience points by participating in the Games Room of the Barracks. After raising a level, returning to the Complex and visiting the Training Room will increase player attributes. Level (LVL): ~~~~~ _ Level 0 = 0 \ Level 1 = 1,000 \ Level 2 = 2,000 ] Level 3 = 4,000 ] Level 4 = 8,000 ] Level 5 = 16,000 ] Experience points double for each level. Level 6 = 32,000 ] Level 7 = 64,000 ] Level 8 = 128,000 / Level 9 = 256,000 _/ _ Level 10 = 406,000 \ Level 11 = 556,000 ] Experience points increase by 150,000 Level 12 = 706,000+ _/ for each level. Once a player has reached the needed experience points for a particular level, he/she will need to train in the Recruit Chambers. The player will then receive an attribute bonus of four points to add to either Strength, Dexterity, or Hit Points. A water crystal bonus is also awarded. {#3} Quick Helps: ~~~~~~~~~~~ These keys are available from most menus in the game: '?' -- Displays menu again or shows help files '!' -- Pages Sysop The Complex Overhead: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *)Return to BBS ┌─▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄─┐ │ │ │ Main Hall │ <= First area after logon │ │ ▄░░▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀░░▄ ▄░░▀ ▀░ ░▀ ▀░░▄ ▄░░▀ ░ ░ ▀░░▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄░░▀ ░ ░ ▀░░▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ ░ ░ │ │ │ H)eadQuarters │ ▄░ ░▄ │ C)omm Post │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ │ │ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ │ B)arracks │ │ │ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▄░ ░▄ ································▒ ▒································· Main Hall: ~~~~~~~~~ The first area of the Complex is known as the Main Hall.

The C)heck command can be used to view your character's attributes. The G)ames Room is a place where players can leisurely relax by playing games or visiting the Bar. With the R)ecruit Chambers, you have the following options: ┌─ │ Recruit Chambers ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -[A] Adjust Specs -[C] Check Status -[M] Morgue Listing -[R] Roster Status -[T] Training Room -[U] Use Equipment -[V] View Recruit -[*] Exit to Barracks Players can A)djust their specifications, which include the toggling of Expert mode on/off, changing passwords, erasing their player, toggling Ansi color on/off, setting combat delay speeds, and toggling combat modes Action/Random. C)heck Status views your character's status. M)orgue lists the names of the deceased and total body count. R)oster Log lists the players in the game and their general locations. In the T)raining Room, players may inquire about the required experience points for the next level or raise their attributes after increasing a level via experience points. Players may U)se their Equipment in the Recruit Chambers by selecting this function. Not all items are usable inside of the Complex, however (ie: aerial scanner, thumpers, trikorders, etc.) V)iew Recruit prints out the status of another specified player if │ they are in the Complex. └─ The S)entry Guard command lets you see the the Sentry Post and the Guard, if one exists. You can offer items to an active Guard, view his status, upgrade his robot model, or purchase a new Guard. The Sentry Guard is an important factor in protecting the Complex from raids from Hydrites who often attack; stealing crystals, raiding the Supply Room, and the occasional kidnapping of players. The W)astelands function allows you to venture out into the wastelands. Communications Post: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Communications Post handles all message reading, writing, and private E-mail. Communication is a necessity for survival. ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ *)Main Hall │ │ │ ▄░░▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀░░▄ ▄░░▀ ▀░ ░▀ ▀░░▄ ·· ░ ░ ▀░░▄ ·· ··· ▀░░▄ ┌─▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄─┐ │ │ │ Communications Post │ │ │ │ E)lectronic Mail │ │ F)rontier Log │ │ P)ost Message │ │ R)ead Messages │ │ │ └─▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀─┘ The E)lectronic Mail function allows players to write/read personal and private messages to another player. The F)rontier Log is a report of recent activity for the game, including daily maintenance and information on Hydrite raids. The P)ost Message option lets players write a public message to the main message board, called the HX-909 frequency. R)eading Messages displays the public messages that have been written by other players or foreign transmissions. The message numbers range from 1 to 50. Headquarters: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The main control room of the Complex is the Head Quarters. ┌─▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄─┐ │ │ │ *)Main Hall │ │ │ ▄░░▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀░░▄ ▄░░▀ ▀░ ░▀ ▀░░▄ ▄░░▀ ░ ░ ▀░░▄ ▄░░▀ ··· ·· ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ·· │ │ │ Head-Quarters │ │ │ │ I)nfo Cabinet │ │ M)edical Center │ │ R)ecords Room │ │ S)upply Room │ │ T)eams/Squadrons │ │ │ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ The I)nformation Cabinet contains several different articles concerning the overview of OOII. Also, a bulletin can be read or the logon news can be reviewed. In the M)edical Center, you may U)se a Medical Kit to heal a character's hit points. You may also neutralize your player's radiation factor by entering the R)adiation room. The D)isease Department is used to N)eutralize or V)accinate any diseases that a player may acquire in the wastelands. The R)ecords Room has the latest and greatest statitistics of categories such as Players with Total Ability, Most Experienced, Combat Accuracy, Bravery, Total combined attributes, Squadron standings, and Hall-of-Fame. The S)upply Room offers weapons, ammunition/power, armor, and equipment that a player may buy or sell. An option of I)nventory is a feature that allows you to look up information on a particular piece of equipment. In the T)eams/Squadrons menu, you may create Squadrons (teams), join other Squadrons, list the Squadrons and leaders, etc. {#4} ╒════════════════════════════════════════════════╕ │ Infrared Scanner │ │ │ │ OO = Impassable Rocks ww = Barren Land │ │ .. = Desert "" = Swamps │ │ ^^ = Mountains -- = Flat Terrain │ │ II = Unmarked Road ~~ = Water │ │ @v = Hole Down @^ = Hole Up │ │ ## = Hydrite Prison ** = Items/camper │ N)orth │ ?? = Unidentified [] = Complex │ │ │ @@ = Cyclone ╔╗ = Base │ W)est ── * ── E)ast │ │ │ ╘════════════════════════════════════════════════╛ S)outh C)heck Status B)ases (build/enter) (Arrow keys with NumLock) D)rop Items I)nvestigate Camp allow diagonals P)ick-up Items A)djust User Specs U)se Equipment *) Camp (logoff) L) Look at Items Wastelands Information ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The wastelands, accessed through the Barracks gate, is a perilous vast of doom where many have ventured and few have returned. The following infor- mation has been gathered and revised by members of the HeXonium Force as a general information guide to all recruits. Equipment: ~~~~~~~~~ The only equipment players start out with is a built-in monitoring system. This monitoring system displays the surrounding terrain of the wastelands and shows the positioned (X,Y,MapLevel) coordinates. For new recruits, a Steel Chain should be purchased for the first weapon and costs only 700 water crystals. It is also suggested to purchase Medpaks and Rations before venturing into the wastelands. Creatures: ~~~~~~~~~ Not much is known about the mutants of the wastelands, but various recruits have witnessed many different monstrosities. Be sure you view your opponents before engaging combat. You always have the right to choose not to fight. If you are ever unsure about whether you should fight a creature, run like hell instead! Do not let your Hit Points drop below 10 before trying to escape from an entanglement. If you find yourself in a situation where your hit points do drop below 5, your best bet would be to surrender to your opponent. Always carry more than five crystals in the wastelands to offer to your opponents in case you may need to surrender. Holes: ~~~~~ If you dare to go into the deeper levels of the map levels (a total of five levels), you will need to acquire a Hemp Rope and locate a hole that leads down. Holes are marked as "@v" on the Infrared Scanner. Beware that once you go down a hole, it might not be there when you want to go back up! Beware of misleading traps! Bases: ~~~~~ You may build Bases for the cost of 100,000 water crystals. They can protect you from other players and be used as a treasure hold for supplies. Many strategies incorporate with Bases, for example, building Bases to charge rent from other players, fortifying a hole, or to prevent the Hydrites from kidnapping you from the main Complex. Telepods offer instant teleportation between Bases, however, the Bases must be within a specific range to be teleported to and from. It has also been rumored that one can teleport anywhere from a Base telepod, but beware of teleporting into unsafe terrain. Sentry Guard: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Sentry Guard is the Complex's personal protection from any evil the Hydrites might have in store for you. This subhuman robot stands guard at the Barracks Sentry outpost, awaiting for a Hydrite raid on the Complex. Recruits may give crystals and supplies to the Sentry Guard to keep him well-armed and healthy. If the Sentry Guard is overrun by a Hydrite raid, the Hydrites can steal from the Storage Bank, kidnap recruits, and cutoff equipment from the Headquarters Supply Room. A new guard must be purchased to replace the old robot to resume its defending position against future Hydrite attacks on the Complex. Nukem: ~~~~~ Nukem is a radioactive creature that prospers in the wastelands by feeding off of human flesh. Many of those that have encountered Nukem have not lived to tell about it. Nukem is attracted to a repeating series of low surface vibrations. A device to reproduce these vibrations, known as Thumpers, are manufactured at the Complex. If you stumble upon an active Thumper in the wastelands, mark its place and remind yourself not to venture near the landmark again. Nukem is a mysterious creature and is hard to track. Weather: ~~~~~~~ The weather in the wastelands is varied and extremely dangerous. A few improvements in technology have allowed recruits to pass through these storms with little damage, if they have the correct equipment. It is advisable to stay clear of these storms at all possible times. The witnessed weather types include a radiation storm, ice storm, electric storm, high winds, cyclones, and the occasional sunny Sundays. Trikorder: ~~~~~~~~~ This little gadget is mysteriously found on the lower levels of the maps. Our scientists, what few we have, are not able to discern how it works, nor able to reproduce it. However, we do know that it is related to the Infrared Scanner in some aspects. It displays more accurate data and reveals more information than the IRScan. Hydrite Prison: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Hydrites have constructed a huge Prison somewhere in the wastelands. If the Complex is left unguarded, Hydrites will find their way inside and snatch away recruits sleeping in the Barracks. The Hydrites drag these unfortunate recruits back to their stronghold and keep them captive for up to 7 days (some recruits are lucky enough to break free of the kidnapping before the Hydrites can bring them through the Prison gates). Having squadron members in this situation is an excellent advantage, as fellow members can rescue them from the Prison. However, the task of releasing prisoners is not easy. If you should succeed in freeing any hostages, the reward is great! Overkill: ~~~~~~~~ It is rumored that Overkill lurks within the deeper levels of the maps. A level 12 recruit has located him once, but dared not to engage combat with him. Keep an eye out for this wicked Hydrite leader. {#5} Bases Overhead: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bases, much similar to the Complex layout, can be constructed in the wastelands on safe terrain for an initial cost of 100,000 water crystals. · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ ║ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ║ ║ █T)echnical Center█ █ R)adio Room █ ║ ║ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ║ ║ ▐▐ *) Return to BBS ▐▐ ║ ║ ▐▐ ▐▐ ║ ║ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ║ ║ █ Base Main Hall █ ║ ║ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ║ ║ ▐▐ ▐▐ ▐▐ ║ ║ ▐▐ ▐▐ ▐▐ ║ ║ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ▐▐ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ║ ║ █ C)ontrol Room █ ▐▐ █ S)torage Bins █ ║ ║ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▐▐ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ║ ╚═══════════════════════╗ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ ╔════════════════════════╝ · · · · · · · · ║ █ B)arracks █ ║ · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ║ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ║ · · · · · · · · · ·╚═════════> <══════════╝· · · · · · · · · · · · · Base Main Hall: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Like the Complex's Main Hall, Bases also have a main hall that is a common intersection which leads to the other areas of the Base.
