Reviews:

Memfis	This map is very impressive and it makes me jealous as a mapper. Man I wish a was this creative! Anthony doesn't copy anyone, he keeps coming up with new designs over and over again. And it's pretty fun to play too! Amazing.	x
TimeOfDeath	cool map	x
Anonymous	Author was a bit too picky with health kits, and only provides stimpacks here and there, no medkits.	x
Anonymous	A much overlooked gem. The typical argument of most people would be that this level could have looked better. I, however, enjoyed myself. ~vf	x
Anonymous	A very good map from '97 that's worth your time. It's very balanced and has a nice sense of progression. Everything after the yellow key door was awful, though. 4/5	x
Anonymous	The design is top-notch, with good ammo balance, clever progression, cool traps, and a nicely adjusted difficulty. The ending is a little over the top compared to the rest of the map, in my opinion, but this is a minor flaw. Author Anthony Soto has also contributed to major projects such as the Classic Episode and Alien Vendetta. Officially no secrets in this one, even though e.g. the blue armor room and the soulsphere room could easily be considered such. Highly recommended. --5/5	x

Intro Story             :

2021 a.d.   Interplanetary travel with people has reached the infant
   September   stages. Scientists have detected lifeforms on Pluto-Charon.
               People conjure images of little green men roaming around
               with blaster's. 
   2024 a.d.   Spaceship technology advances. The United Nations convenes
   November    to arrange a combining of resources for the multi-billion
               dollar visit to Pluto and schedules the launch to Pluto 
               for 2030 a.d.
   2026 a.d.   An underground meeting of power-monguls and the world's
   May         richest occurs. Discussions are made to get a spaceship  
               to Pluto before the United Nations. The benifits to both   
               are obvious. Some would get power, others would be able to 
               exploit natural resources and new found alien technology
               for money. Scientists and engineers are hired for construction 
               of the stolen top secret blueprints of the latest star 
               cruiser. Militia in Green (MiG's) are formed as starship  
               troopers to eliminate alien forces.
   2027 a.d.   Coming back from the laundrymat to your car you are
   January     approached by two men. Your asked to come later that night 
               for a job interview for a longterm job that will give
               pride to your nation. Sure it hits you as strange, but 
               being an un-employed father of two isn't easy. They question   
               you intensely about your past job as and air force pilot.  
               You ask what the job entails. They paint a picture of evil
               beings inhibiting Pluto-Charon. You are told they forcefully 
               took over what was America's new found territory and base.
               With your life heading in little else direction you wearily
               accept their offer of 250,000 for the mission.
   2028 a.d.   Before launch your are suspicious as ever. You are told that  
   August      this mission is so remote because it is top secret. Never the 
               less 250 grand is 250 grand. Next thing you know is the 
               arrival at Pluto. Gun in hand, you hear the screams from 
               beyond and you know there is only one way you can go - forward.

Ending Story            :

2029 a.d.   Your not even worried about your hygiene anymore. You must            
     ???       have killed more "aliens" then you killed humans in Operation
               Imperial Strike. "Another damn door to open, another person 
               to kill," you say to yourself as you see a silver door ahead.
               "What the fuck...?," you mumble as you hear a deafining voice
               from the distance. You look up, "Oh SHIT." "What in the hell
               is that?" All you can see for what seems like miles is this
               ugly ass thing rooting from the ground. It's viens stem from  
               it's insides to a river of blood. It's horrific face is 
               lodged into the wall. It doesnt take another moment of thought 
               before you pump the son of a bitch in the face with rockets. 
               "Eat this you punkass bitch!", you yell in a lunatic frenzy.
               The last thing you remember in an emblem on the wall below
               him ... a picture of Hitler.

Months      You awaken on a spaceship in a screaming fit. Your too tired  
   Later       to talk but look around and infer you are in a hospital. You
               also notice a "U.N." decal on the wall. You feel betrayed.
               You realize your fight for "American Pride" was a crock of
               shit. You were never gonna get paid crap, because they 
               expected you to kill and then be killed. Your furious now.
               The aliens were never "killers", they were fighting in self
               defense. You realize you did what you had to do to get out.
               Days later, well rested you are told of how you were hired
               by N.i.i.F. (Nazis investing in the Future) to do their
               grunt work in their quest for a planet that would be only 
               inhibited by the "chosen ones." Your disgusted and only one 
               thing comes to mind, "Payback Time!."
