~~~~~1111~~~~ Bravo.net (----) >signal Alpha} >recieving-- This may or may not come as a surprise, but you're about to do something that others would call ridiculous. Reuben's men still haven't opened the entrance into the F'ynch ruins. They should be busy for a while until they discover that the entrance at which they are digging is totally wrong. Then they'll find out what we're about to do. Come, let me show you my magic.

~~~~~1111~~~~ Bravo.net (----) >signal Alpha} >recieving-- There was no way in to the ruins, I knew that. But in the same breath, I knew there had to be some tunnel or piping that led down inside. That's when I found the lava flow. There's a river of magma that flows right through the center of the ruins. You are going to "ride" the river right into the ruins. Reuben won't learn of our little secret entrance for a while, so that gives us the lead we need to get inside and set up the explosives.

*øßSignal Br´ëakup-- >>recieving' ¬ocation.35733.5.6gen Come, Abbadon and the final piece await us in the ruins. I will brief you further when you arrive there. Reuben's men have stopped their excavation, and I fear they know of our little back door. We don't have long before the party starts, kid. Let's go.

"Evil will triumph over Good, because Good is Dumb"

This message isn't proofread; I just don't care anymore. I'm sick of looking up every word just because I'm the worst speller in the world. In sixth grade, we had a spelling bee and my word was disease. Of course, I just had to look it up now, because I was kicked out of the spelling bee on disease, and I still can't spell it today. But why does it matter, if you can still understand me? Because it's bad, that's why. After putting months of work into something, to spell "receive" wrong, it's just not acceptable. That's where spellchecker comes in. ;) So. I know it seems customary to put the "secret" terminal on the last level, but I felt like putting it here because I like this level... It has such a different feel than the normal maps out there- Instead of killing things left and right you get to ride a water slide like Disney Land. Walt would be proud. Besides, the last level throws the player into a collapsing building with lava chasing him down corridors as the come crashing down. I don't want to distract from that, now do I?

Well, I hope I didn't make this terminal too hard to find. It is kind of annoying to ride the slide a second time, but it's more fun when you don't have to pray for an energy tank around every bend. And don't whine about the level "air mail special." It counts as a level, and I can include it if I want. It's my game. ;) And now, here's your bonus winner question game! This is a little riddle I heard, and I love the solution. Arnold has a long one. Bruce has a short one. Madonna doesn't have one. The Pope can't use his. Hmmmm... provocative? Anyway, E-mail me at jinnmaster@aol.com if you know the answer. You'll win a... a... um...er... L-1011 Jumbo Jet. Yeah.

Okay. It's about time for me to wrap this up. One last thing- There's tons of references to Revelations and the end of the world in this game... check it out sometime. Well, It's been great making this thing, and meeting all the people who've helped me in some way or another. Except that guy Rob, he's a jerk. (that's a joke... there is no Rob. Or so you think...) Closing, I'd like to applaud solo map makers, because without you guys, Marathon would get old real fast. It's good to know that people still have enough imagination to create great stories and maps that form an immersive experiance unlike any other. "That's all I have to say about that." Nick Confalone.
