===| A. INTRO |=================================================================
Here's the game script for Scurge: Hive. An isometric 2D shooting action game,
a good one that will offer intense and exciting combat actions throughout the
game. Shooting, jumping, along with some thinking are required, as well as
remembering the elemental affinities and weaknesses of the enemies. Your main
tasks to finish the game are especially collecting security cards to open doors,
activating nodes for teleport nexus, and don't forget to kick the bosses' ass.
Some upgrade for weapons and abilities provided progressively, though you may
have to solve some puzzles first (mainly involve speed and some brains). The
most interesting part -IMHO- is the shooting action itself, especially later on
the game, which require you to quickly switch among weapon types to deal
appropriate damage to enemies. Based on their elemental properties, certain
weapon types will hurt the enemies badly, some are ineffective, and even some
others will power-up them! You could even face many enemies with different
elemental properties in one single room, so pick your choice wisely. The sound
FX is also OK, as you can quickly identify what type of enemies exist in an
area from their sounds, or is there a security card waiting to be picked up.
The music also fits the mood, keep you thinking that something bad is drawing
near, as you go deeper to unveil the truth behind all the mess... also mention
Jenosa's sexy "Uggh!" voice when hit by the enemy, I like it XD. Apart from
those, I feel that this game is relatively short. 7 excerpts total, and I
already have my HP and level maxed out on fifth excerpt beginning... want to see
some sequels... :d Anyway, here's the game script.

RECEIVING TRANSMISSION
Decoding Protocol: 2A75E6
Attention: Jenosa Arma
Hunter Designation: Q4-75E1JA
Target: Confederation Research Lab 56
Planet Inos
Briefing
A distress signal was received 48
hours earlier from this high security
research lab.
Subsequent attempts to establish
communications have proven futile.
The facility's primary objective was to
study and confine samples of the
newly discovered alien entity, specimen
Gamma-74: Scurge.
This highly adaptable entity is known
for it's ability to rapidly infect and
manipulate biological, mechanical, and
energy based systems.
Failure of the entity's containment is
to be assumed.
In order to counteract the infective
nature of the entity, you have been
issued a prototype suit used within
the facility.
Bear in mind that this suit is
currently only capable of slowing down
the infection to allow more time to
complete objectives.
The suit has also been modified to
house a projectile gauntlet as opposed
to traditional firearms which could be
infected by the scurge.
Your primary objective is to obtain
any surviving data and technologies
by incorporating them into your suit
prior to your retrieval.
Any entities encountered are to be
deemed hostile and permission is
granted to terminate on sight.

Re: Specimen Handling

My apologies but I
won't be able to meet
up with you later on
this evening. Some of
my colleagues have
been experiencing
difficulty dealing with
specimens in Lab 03.
They have become
increasingly hard to
handle as of late. I
promised to lend you
the Specimen Handling
Tool ie. Tether to
move some of your
crates around, so I
left it in the security

MEMO
Attention all
engineering staff. In
light of recent
malfunctions with the
droids and computers
please be aware that
accidents have become
quite frequent.
Malfunctioning units
can prove dangerous
to staff so please
bring any noted
abnormal behavior to
the attention of
senior staff members.
In case of more
serious malfunctions,
the EMP suit
enhancement unit has
been placed in the
security chamber of
the Basement, Lab 04.
This will deal with any
problematic droids. We
are assuming that the
problems are caused
by a possible virus or
a malfunctioning node.
The problem will be
rectified as soon as
possible.

Re: Dealing with those
energy vermin
Hi Deman,
Bensman came to me
this morning saying
that the south
sector is being sealed
off due to an
infestation of
pyronauts. We still
haven't figured out
how they managed to
get out of the
containment fields we
set up but we do
know that they use
the ventilation system
to get about. To deal
with those pests I've
sent you a Dissipater
upgrade. It's
practically lethal for
any energy beings
since it will disrupt
their condensed
structures directly.
You can pick it up
tomorrow in the
basement security
chamber. Just ask one
of the guys working
down there to reset
the timers for you.
Good luck, Fandre.

Hiya Mino.
Yesterday while
testing out that
Tether you lent me I
was 'tweaking' the
schematics when I
stumbled upon a
rather interesting
effect.
I was hooking onto
sentry orbs when I
found out that
tugging on the Tether
caused an energy
feedback loop which
shoot me across the
room. A rubber band
effect you might say.
I dubbed it the 'Jidan
Grapple Effect'. I
think I narrowly
avoided slipping a disk
but it was an
exhilarating ride, albeit
short. If you would
like a cheap thrill I
left the upgrade
program in my security
locker. Note that this
only seems to work on
the security orbs. Also,
you know you owe me
a date. How about
a dinner at the
cafetaria tomorrow
night?

light. How long before it gets dark again?
Magellan :
The day and night cycles upon Inos are
relatively rapid. Furthermore, the shadows cast
by its multiple moons periodically interupt the
official daylight part of the cycle, bringing on
temporary patches of night during the day.

Re: Dealing with large

So far it seems like
there are 3 surviving

I was not able to

Please relay the

shut down the

requested to cut off
power to Yggdrasil. It
should stall the

In the meantime, I
strongly urge you to

TO anyone who
chance upon this, I
am sorry for having
failed my friends and
colleagues. My suit's
infection containment
has failed, and it
won't be long before
the infection takes
its hold.
I have taken my
research data as far
away as I could from
the Source's reach
but this is far as I
can go. Dr. Dorrel and
I made it as far as
Jormungand's cage. I
told him to remain
there to stay in
contact with the
other 2 teams. I
decided to start
heading back to the
Biocore see if I could
further disable or
even damage Yggdrasil.
Upon leaving I decided
to deactivate the
transport Nexus to
avoid anything getting
to him and left him
with enough weapons
to hopefully keep
Jormungand at bay.
Unfortunately he is
the only one with a
functioning transmitter
now, mine just failed 5
hours ago. I have
detached the

Jenosa :
Magellan. Lock on the frequency and route me
through.
??? :
Hello?---Hello? Dr. Dorrel Please respond.---Hello?
Jenosa :
I'm sorry, but I didn't make it in time to reach
the Doctor.
??? :
Who is this?!
Jenosa :
Jenosa Arma. I've been sent by Commander Kozan.
??? :
Reinforcements?! Finally! Why has it taken so long
for a task force to get there? How many units
have arrived?
Jenosa :
Actually I'm not much of a task force, I'm a
bounty hunter employed by the COmmander to
retrieve whatever I could.
My objectives did not mention any rescue
efforts.
??? :
!
A Bounty Hunter?!
A BOUNTY HUNTER?!
The idiot!
Is keeping his secret research pet projects so
important his personnel aren't even worth
saving?!
Does he even realize how many people he's lost?
Instead he is content with sending vultures to
scavenge the remains.
Jenosa :
Hey! watch it. Do you want to be rescued or
not?
My objectives may not be search and rescue but
you do count as valuable data if that makes you
feel any better.
By the way things are going, either I find you
first or this 'Source' thing does.
??? :
The Source?!
Did you encounter it?
Jenosa :
No but you scientists seem rather fond of
mentioning it. Care to share some information?
??? :
All that matters is that it's the reason this whole
Scurge mess occured in the first place. In the
meantime, you'll have to come get me.
I'm in no position to leave my current location.
Jenosa :
...and that place would be?
??? :
The Mines. Near the Industrial Facility. I've
barricaded myself in the control room.
Jenosa :
Well, you'll be glad to hear that I'm making you a
priority. Sit tight.
??? :

[] VI. Excerpt 5 []
[] Before we knew it... []
[ Biocore Complex ]
( Upon arriving back at Biocore Complex )
Jenosa :
Alright Magellan. Tell me how to get to the
Mines, we've got ourselves a date.
---------------------------
Target Update :
---------------------------
Head to the Mines to rescue
Profesor Derad.
---------------------------
Magellan :
Incoming transmission from Professor Derad.
Jenosa :
Route me through.
Derad :
Jenosa? Oh good, you're still alive.
Jenosa :
What's that supposed to mean?
I made it back to the Biocore.
Just heading out to the Mines teleport.
Derad :
Good. By the way, I see that you are wearing
one of the lab suits. Do you happen to have the
Boost Jump upgrade installed?
You're going to need it to navigate the Mines.
Jenosa :
No. Directions would be handy right about now if
you know where to get it.
Derad :
That's classified information...
Jenosa :
Which should mean nothing to you right now since
you're screwed if I can't get to you.
You can settle your vendetta against the
Commander once I haul you back.
Derad :
...Sending coordinates.
( Updating map coordinates )
( If trying to enter poisonous room )
Magellan :
This area seems to be filled with a poisonous
gas.
If you stay here your health will drop very
quickly.
( Obtaining the boost jump suit upgrade )
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% TUTORIALS %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Boost jump suit enhancement obtained.
Press the A button in mid air to activate the
boost jump.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
[ Ransol Excavation Site ]
( Upon arriving at Ransol Excavation Site )
Magellan :
Incoming transmission from Professor Derad.
Jenosa :
Route him through.
Alright. I'm here... and it's freezing. Since when
did research facilities need an open pit mine?
Derad :
The mines are used to obtain resources as well
as geothermal power. In order to operate
Yggdrasil, a huge amount of energy is required.
Jenosa :
Yggdrasil? That name came up a few times in the
logs. I'm sure you won't mind clueing me in?
Derad :
Yggdrasil is the name used for the huge
Interplanetary Transport that we've been
developing.
This entire research facility isn't just responsible
for experimenting on the Scurge, it also houses
many of the Commander's other so called
experimental toys.
By vastly improving the maximum distance and
specifications of teleport beams, along with placing
the subjects in outer space-compatible pods as a
safe guard, we were able to transport live
specimens with ease throughout this Solar System.
Jenosa :
...and no wonder why the Commander is so keen
to salvage at least something from here. Why
didn't you guys use it to escape?
Still too risky?
Derad :
By the time of the incident, we already knew the
teleport was close to being 100% reliable.
Before we knew it however, the Scurge Source
had already infested out systems entirely and
established it's Hive around Yggdrasil.
Jenosa :
You make it sound like this thing knows what it's
doing.
Derad :
Initially, the Scurge did not exhibit any form of
sentience whatsoever.
However, as our experiments on the Source
progressed, we observed an emerging collective
mind.
The more information and organisms it assimilated,
the more this become evident.
By the time we realized the extent of this, the
Source had already engineered its escape.
But I disgress, I have to send you the
coordinates of my location.
You're going to have to get to the control room
I'm in via the facility's...
Jenosa :
Transport Nexus. I assume you also deactivated
all the Nodes like your other buddies.
Derad :
...exactly.
Jenosa :
I catch on pretty quick.
( Updating map coordinates, showing the Nexus location )
-------------------------------------
Target Update :
-------------------------------------
Reactivate the Nexus to gain access
to the Mining Facility's Control Room
and rescue Dr. Derad.
-------------------------------------
( Accessing nearby panel and updating locations of Decontamination Platforms )
( Upon reaching the Nexus )
Jenosa :
Magellan...
Locate the security node locations within the
excavation site.

( Obtaining the Illumination upgrade )
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% TUTORIALS %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Illumination enhancement suit upgrade obtained.
This upgrade automatically emits an emergency
light source when you are in dark areas.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
( Incoming transmission )
Magellan :
Incoming transmission from Professor Derad.
Jenosa :
Again?
Route him through...
Quite the chatty one aren't you Professor.
Derad :
I'm not in the mood for idle banter. I've been
trying to gain access into the Biocore's systems.
I'm reading a huge amount of activity within
Yggdrasil's Transport Nexus.
Did you notice anything when passing through the
Biocore Facility?
Jenosa :
After I restorated the power to the Biocore I've
been slowly reactivating the Security Nodes.
I didn't notice anything irregular last time I
checked.
Derad :
...
You did what?!!
Do you realize why the generator was shut down
in the first place?!
The Source didn't just make it's way into
Yggdrasil looking for a cozy spot to settle, it's
intending to use it! You idiot!
Jenosa :
Is there anyway we can reverse the process?
Derad :
It would be futile to head back to the Industrial
Facility and shut it back down. You've already
caused enough damage.
However, Yggdrasil takes a long time to become
fully operational. It can still only teleport within
the planet's orbital range.
We can still stop the Source in time.
In th meantime, I need you to pickup an
experimental weapon, the Plasma Bomb, that I
locked in the mines.
It should prove very useful.
Also, it seems like the Source has shut down the
ventilation system and started releasing toxic
gases into the Biocore facility.
Once we're through with this place you'll have to
head over to the Forest lab. I have just the
enhancement needed to help filter out the toxins.
Jenosa :
Sounds like a plan.
Derad :
I'm sending the coordinates right now just...
No!
Impossible!
How can it!
Aaaaaaaahhh!!!
Jenosa :
Professor!
Magellan :
Transmission terminated.
( Obtaining the explosive gauntlet upgrade )
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% TUTORIALS %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Plasma explosive gauntlet upgrade obtained. This
alignment allows you to throw an explosive plasma
orb that scatters groups of enemies.
You can also use the plasma explosive to
destroy rubble and cracked walls.
