THE STORY SO FAR.....
__________________________________________________________________

Ive never seen the Admiral so worried. Normally as tall and emotionless as a tree, he now sits behind his desk like a broken man. He nervously plays around with his pen seemingly unaware of my presence.

I try to start the conversation. "Admiral Romero...."
He looks up, finally recognizing me.
"Seargant Carmack - this is our darkest hour. You know our mining-colony on Titan?"
"Off course I know it. Its the biggest Tiridium-mine Earth-force has. What happened?"

Romero takes a deep breath before continuing. "Weve lost contact....Three weeks ago the facilitys leader reported some strange incidents. The workers started to get violent, killing each others without any reason. You know what this means...."

"Mechnos...oh my god!" I shuddered. 

We had contact with this race some years ago. They are some kind of mechanical organism who are able to transform humans into really strange creatures. 

It seems to be hard for the Admiral to continue. "You were the only survivor of their first attack on moon, youre the only one who knows them. I cannot force you to take this order, I can only ask for your help..."

				---------------------------

A loud beep wakes me up. I look through the window and can see the red atmosphere of Titan below. This little moon looks so peacefully. I grab my backpack and slowly start walking to the dropship. The Adventure has started again....

This level is freely distributable, but please dont use it as base for your level. I dont
like playing the same areas over and over again and so does the crowd. :))

If you put it on your web-page, review it or use it on a CD-release, please inform me asap.

Also I would be very interested to get some response. Its very depressing not to know what people think of your work.

Thanks guys and have fun!
