HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Ok, I sure hope you actually found this terminal in the scenario, and not through some hex editor or program like Hex! If you used Hex! then your wasting our time you pitiful loser.
For those who actually found this, I would like to say thank you for playing the solo and also good work on finding these simple secrets.
I... who am "I"? I will tell you. I am Randall Shaw, the one who started up this team to bring you Project:Curse. It was back when I decided to stop doing Marathon maps that I decided to finish the Siege of Nor'Korh. I was sorry I left everyone hanging at the end of that first scenario... but I did that so i could bring it to you more quick and then finish it if I felt like it or was pushed to it.
Well, I was pushed to it. I was all ready to give up on creating stuff for free for the world to get and play with. I was all for stopping and being the end person who would reap on the efforts of others. I too wanted to just sit back and then get these files to play and enjoy for the first time, like we all enjoyed the fun of first playing Marathon.
I was pushed by the public to do more. I kept getting mailed about if I would finish up the Siege of Nor'Korh. I thought I wouldn't but I did. So I started up Project:Curse, the sequel. Then I thought, this won't be just any sequel, this will be one last great thing I do for the Marathon Mac community. See, PC losers can't play Infinity, and thus cannot play Evil HAHAhahHahhahHAh hAh hAh hahHaha ehem.. *cough*.
So I gathered up some people to help me with it. I was figuring that I would just do the new shapes and sounds, and then have everyone else do all the Maps. That went sour. I was dragged into making maps more than I had hoped. I was just going to do the intro and ending levels, the intro was cake... a brief leap off of a hazardous-ready-to-explode ship, with a few surprises if you decided to get adventurous, and rowdy. Then the last level, which you haven't come too. Something very evil indeed.
Well, anyhow, I brought on the top map makers at the time I started the project, I called in Colin James, maker of the Kanjah Krisis (very nicely done and he had great potential). I also got others such as Siegfried, Daniel Loebl, Mike Gaines, and Travis Vils.
Well, nothing goes as planned, and I ended up with only Colin, and Siegfried. Mike Gaines did not like the high quality standards we set for our scenario and took his maps and left us in a fit of furry. We were sorry he left, but I guess it was for the better of the project he did. Daniel just kind of drifted out and we never heard from him again. Travis had some extreme troubles and became incredibly busy so he was unable to create for us, but he did manage to help in any way he possibly could. We were thankful for the testing he did.
So who are the map makers Johnny B. and Chuck Fox? Well, Chuck was just going to do some graphics for us because he made the incredible Jugger picture everyone on the net loved. He then asked if he could do a level for the project since we were missing places to be taken. We accepted and we are so not sorry we did. He created something so incredible I couldn't believe him when he said it was his first map. Johnny was the same way... except he was just going to be a beta tester when I brought him on. He then became our head sound man, and has created all the incredible sounds you are hearing. His solo level was and intriguing concept and very complex... I loved it at first sight, so we accepted it without a doubt.
So I get back on track here, enough flattery of those who deserve it...
This is my personal files for the project, so I will speak my mind and anything I say or do is not a direct reflection of the EVIL Group or the EVIL project. This is me now... not anyone else... (they actually have no idea I wrote this).
I did this for all those who DO care. That is why I do these things. The majority of the marathon public enjoy my efforts, and so I enjoy making it for them. I have not made any profit off this, I have not made any deals with this, and I have not gained anything from this. I wasted my life away making this for others. I spent each hour of my free time in front of the computer, monitoring, creating, coordinating and bringing forth this project and all other projects before it, for the world to use and enjoy. Honestly.
The people of this group were very great people I must add. I wasn't upset with any of them, except that is, Derek. Personally, if I had hired Derek for pay, I would have fired him long before this project got into production.
Secrets... you want to hear some secrets?
Ok... I got some for you:
Have you looked closely to that first chapter screen you get after leaving the first ship? Well you should... you might find something neat in it.
When I first started creating things for this, I was watching too much Babylon5... and so it clouded my judgment, and so I made things lean towards that.
Felix is a woman. Yep... she's a she. Get used to it.
Mike Gaines left because we pushed him to far. We kept ragging on his maps not being up to the standards I wanted for this. I ended up creating this level, and Hackers, to replace his maps (took me only three days to do these).
Colin is secretly in love with... yah... pssst... he is in love with his mac. HONEST, I am telling you... he is :-)
We hope you are enjoying this scenario, and really find it in your hearts to be kind towards our efforts. We worked an incredibly long time to bring this to you. We poured our hearts into the work we did to make sure that everything was working and of high quality and worry-free for the public to use. We only want to thank you for taking interest in this product of our imaginations. Go now... go now and start KiLLinG to your HEartS conTENT! YAh.. KIll KILL kill...*cough*
Now get back to playing the game.
