Description             : It is the future.  Man has polluted
                         the atmosphere to the point where
                         we can no longer safely breathe it.
                         Large, floating atmospheric reprocessors
                         have been created to help repair the
                         atmosphere.  It will be a long process.
                         A few years after the "skybases" went
                         online, mankind got a big wakeup call.
                         Our first (and maybe our last) alien
                         encounter has happened.  The alien
                         race (thier names are unknown) have
                         intercepted our transmissions that we
                         make in every day life (TV, radio, ...)
                         and have learned our communications,
                         technology, languages, and our plight.
                         But rather than help out, they would
                         rather have the planet for thier own!
                         You see, the atmosphere is perfect for
                         them, so why not let us die out.  They
                         destroyed all but one reprocesor.  The
                         remaining reprocessor has been reverse
                         engineered to cause more harm to our
                         atmosphere.  This must be stopped.
                         Listening to thier transmissions, and
                         logging into the skybase mainframe
                         (for some reason, they didn't prohibit
                         that), we have learned that many people
                         who died on the skybase have been
                         electronically ressurected to help serve
                         them.  Also, many traps have been set
                         for anyone who tries to land and "be the
                         hero".  Luckily they weren't prepared
                         for you!  Your mission is to kick ass and
                         shutdown/disable the base.  As you circle
                         the base in your shuttle, you see them
                         laughing at you.  Good ...underestimation
                         allowed David to beat Goliath.  Make the
                         fuckers pay!!!

Additional Credits to   : All of the authors of the different
                         .WAD files that I have seen (and
                         borrowed/modified graphics and sounds
                         from).  Ben Morris for creating DCK.
                         The guys at work for being patient
                         guinea pigs for me.  God.

                         The board is just on the border line of being
                         too big (or rather, too many walls viewable
                         in one glance).

* Copyright / Permissions *

Authors MAY NOT use this level as a base to build additional levels.
You MAY distribute this DOOM add-on in any electronic format (BBS,
Diskette, CD, etc) as long as you include this file intact.  If you
want to use the graphics/sounds, go ahead, I've used graphics/sounds
from other .WAD's myself (but they were all modified for my .WAD).

* Extra Info *

This is my first .WAD file ever (and probably the last ...movin' on
to Duke Nukem 3D).  We will call it v1.00 beta because there is still
plenty of room left for new ideas (and I have plently).  It took a really
long time to make this (more than a year) because I have a life and don't
spend all of my time doing this.  I would work on the board whenever I had
a really cool idea or whenever I wasn't lazy.  I added some special
graphical effects that I have never seen done before (like the full sky).
I hope you enjoy them too.

I know nothing of deathmatches.  Never tried one ...don't want too.  But
I guess I should make this deathmatch-able.  Right?  What makes a good
deathmatch?  Anyway, any and all comments about this board are welcome at
my e-mail address (please be gentle).  No need to be hostile.  Constructive
critisizm will always make the board better.
