Description:	After playing plenty of Marathon (you know, DooM for Mac), I had the idea of making a quick map in the same style. This means 1994-style geometry and texturing, gloomy lighting, and an emphasis on switch-hunting and puzzle-solving. However, I soon found out that in order to make really devious puzzles, one needs better "scripting functionality" than possible with the original .exe-file. While the map didn't quite turn out the way I wanted it to, I still think it might be fun as a quick diversion. : Also, I wanted to joke a bit with my brother, so I altered the sounds of the former humans and the Imps. They now curse in the most vile tongue imaginable. : Please see the bottom of this document for the actual story.

* The Story so Far *
===========================================================================

After an orbital insertion atop an arcology complex in what used to be northern europe,
you have become separated from your platoon after a fierce firefight with the enemy.
With communications down and surrounded by former homeguard troops turned into slavering cannibals,
you do not rate your chances of survival. A glimmer of hope remains, however. 
A SatNet junction shouldn't be far from your position. If you can get there, you just might
be able to patch in manually and locate your buddies on the grid. In theory.

...But as you descend into the foundations of the megastructure,
some ancient tune starts playing on repeat over the speaker system,
and soon most of the lights go out.
Seems like the gimps are throwing you a party!
Wonderful.
