Description:	A little WAD ive been working on for a while, comprising of six tough but fair maps in a modern theme, intended as the first episode of a megawad. It's my first release so go easy. Just slap it in your doom directory along with the .gwa file if you can make use of it, and get going.
Credits:
Base:	s around the solar system that were associated with the slipgate technology. It turns
Build time:	about three months, on and off
Editor(s) used:	WinDEU
Bugs:	Minor HOMs here and there. I've included a .gwa file created by glbsp as this completely erases all the little errors. The HOMs will not obliterate the gameplay so dont worry, they only look crap. Runs without error in vanilla doom2.

Anonymous	some fights are uninspired, later maps are confusing because of missing variations in design; layout is interesting and in general good, good lighting - a solid wad 3.5*	x
Doomkid	The map layouts for map01 and map02 are actually great, it's just the awful brown textures all over that kill it. Spend a little time retexturing these and you'd have a super solid mini-wad.	x
Anonymous	I had a go at this six-map set. Map01 bored me. It looks very spartan, like something from 1995, and the gameplay feels as if you're constantly running down a corridor to flick a switch that opens a door that leads to a corridor that leads to a switch etc. Map02 is similar but it's a techbase; Map03 is the same again but it's a sewer, Map04 crates etc. They're all elaborate and decently designed, but the gameplay is just monotonous.	x

You were a hero.

You remember now, all of a sudden, how eight years back you fought for your species on the
excuse for a ball of rock that is Phobos.  You remember personally slaying the two 'barons',
the masterminds, the kings of the operation, those who controlled the demon hordes.  You
then remember how the area was declared safe after the barons' deaths, acres of demon and
once human flesh being a physical testimony to that apparent fact.  You remember even being
convinced yourself that the base was secure, and withdrawing from the moon with the
remaining handful of survivors.

But what you didn't remember was the controversy surrounding UAC, and their inappropriate
disposal of the problem, and how they just abandoned the base, and the slipgate technology
intact, keen just to cut their losses and not waste any more money on the ailing project,
doing so in an attempt to rebuild their name and status.

It was thrust into the public eye once again when demons started popping up in decomissioned
bases around the solar system that were associated with the slipgate technology.  It turns
out that UAC were certain that the demon threat was not fully extinguished, but they were
certain, however that the demons wouldn't have the technology to re-open the slipgate and
the dimensional breach, and then therefore would no longer be able to rain themselves down
in hellish clouds of flesh and bone to decimate Earth once again.

It also turns out though, that UAC were very, very wrong.

Authors may NOT use this WAD as a base to build additional levels,
unless I personally grant permission to do so.
Why would you want to do that anyway?

You may distribute this WAD. In fact please do, but not without this file.
