Many other trips took place over the last few days of TD2 which I did not
     take the time to record.

Total number of logs kept: 26
Total size of logs kept: 4769k

How did I get in? It is extremely difficult to get into aa any way you look
     at it. The way I got in was to bring in mobs with me for the aliens to
     kill, distracting them from me*. My first method was to rent 20-60 horses
     and then rush in past the aliens, although this caused many complaints
     when 20-60 wranglers came rushing through town. My second method was to
     mindlink various mobs to follow me, which worked even better being that
     I chose mobs that had more hit points than a horse. Both of these methods
     cause the aliens to become extremely well fed however so you may not want
     to do this if you are planning on clearing the AA.

     *This is the same as Feldor's method but mobs are used instead of
      player characters.
                                 =============

                                 =============

Looking up, you notice for the first time the huge bulk of the alien queen.
     It is a huge, monstrous insectlike beast with a large tubular appendage which
     is busy laying eggs for MORE aliens!

     A slimey pod stirs. You stiffen with fear.

     A pod begins to move with a sickly wet sound.

     A pod slowly pulls open with a sickly tearing sound.
     With a shudder, you watch as a nasty alien with long appendages crawls out.
     A face hugger alien scurries into the shadows.

Bishop prefers to be called an 'artificial person'.
     Bishop is in like-new condition.
     Bishop says 'I need to get this uplink fixed.'
Hicks says 'take off and nuke the site from orbit.. it's the only way...'
     Hicks is a damn good soldier. Don't mess with him!

     A Marine says 'Help me! Those monsters are coming!'
Sargeant Apone puffs on his cigar.
     Apone looks you up his down and shakes his head. 'Get movin ladies, this
     aint the Boy Scouts!!'
     a rain poncho
Vasquez glares at you and slaps her weapon.
     #1 a red headband, a rain poncho
     #2 a red headband, a rain poncho

Autoguns: Autoguns are aggressive but cannot see invisible.

Aliens: All aliens are hidden except for the alien queen. Nasty aliens grab
     corpses which they feed on. After they eat the corpse they grow and
     become more powerful. Face huggers are agressive in the sense that they
     jump onto your face. Once this happens you will become stunned and have
     several minutes left to live before an alien explodes from your stomach.
     Don't be fooled by the message saying you feel better, there is an alien
     egg in your stomach waiting to hatch.

713 - Apone and Vasquez sighted (rebooted since 722 sighting of hicks)
722 - Hicks sighted

Ao telepaths to you 'if your good align marines assist..named marines also'

Keys: black magnetic, red magnetic, blue scanner
I'm not sure what the blue scanner does but my best guess is that it can be
     used to unlock the crates. The crates are pickable and I never needed
     to test this.

                                  =========
                                  MAP NOTES
                                  =========

1. You may have noticed that the rooms arround 948 are rather disorderly.
   The rooms did not fit when I pieced the map together with the captures I
   had made. From what I can make out it is roughly a 2x2 or 2x3 set of rooms.
   Due to the nature of TD3 I probably will not have the opportunity to reach
   this set of rooms again...

2. There is a second entrance to AA which is not shown in this map. The
   second entrance is located roughly west of the entrance used in this map.
   The second entrance requires a key to enter and I have been told that it
   leads to somewhere arround room 977 and is a ONE-WAY entrance.

                      ====================================

701
  You stand inside a dark, damp corridor which runs north and east. To
the south is a single small access door. You shiver in the cold air. The
floor grating underneath is wet and slippery.

702
  At this point, corridors branch off to the east, south, and west.
Everything is wet and covered with gritty silt. Fearfully, you press
onward into the darkness.

703
  The dark, wet corridor runs east from here. To the north is a large
steel door. Your footsteps echo hollowly in this enclosed space. A large
signplate reads 'A-41'.

704
  You stand in about an inch of water in this dark room. In one corner
are some large pieces of equipment which are silent. To the north, south,
and east are large doors. Shivering, you wonder what to do next.

705
  The dark corridor runs north from here. To the east and south are
large, solid-looking doors. The darkness seems to stir behind you.

706
  The dark, wet corridor runs north and south. A large signplate reads
'A-47'. The floorplates clank under your feet... you notice some damage
to the wall here.

707
  You stand at an intersection of dark corridors which lead south, east,
and west. It is very cold and clammy here. The metal floor grates are wet
and slippery.

708
  The dark, wet corridor runs east and west. Water drips onto the floor,
causing a weird series of echoes. Fearfully, you press onward.

709
  You carefully make your way along the dark, cold passagway. East and west
you can see only blackness.

710
  The dark passageway leads east and west. Your breath echoes hollowly
inside this enclosed, cold space.

711
  The darkened corridor leads eastward away from a large door. The floor
grates underfoot are wet and slippery. There is rubbish strewn around here.

712
(brief was on)

713
  The wet corridor reverberates with the sound of your footsteps as you
travel along it. The air is cold and clammy.

714
  The dark corridor runs east and west. After stumbling on some debris, you
really begin to wish that the lights would work... and where is everyone
anyway?

715
  The corridor dead-ends to the east, where the ceiling seems to have
collapsed. There is a large hole in one wall; looking in, you see only a
black maze of pipes and hoses.

716
  The corridor makes a right angle here, running north and west. A large
control panel on wall is dark, and does nothing when you bang on it. An
eerie gloom fills the area. There is a large steel door to the south.

717
  The corridor runs east and west into darkness. The floor grates are wet
and slippery underneath.

718
  The floorplates clank and rattle under your feet as you try to sneak
along the corridor which runs north and south.

719
  The darkened corridor runs north and south. Water drips down from a
gaping hole in the ceiling. A large signplate reads 'A-49'. Uneasily, you
move onward.

720
  At this point, corridors branch off to the east, west, and south. It is
very cold and dark here. The floor grates are wet and slippery.

721
  The corridor runs east and west into darkness. You can hear water
dripping down onto the floor... drip drip drip. The overhead lights are
not working.

722
  At this point, the way east has been blocked by a large pile of rubble
caused by an explosion of some type. The metal floor grates are ripped
and shredded. Your only choice is to go back to the west.

723
  The dark metal passageway runs east and west. There is rubbish strewn
on the floor here... it looks like clothing.

724
  To the west is a large door set into a thick bulkhead. The dark
corridor leads east. Looking down through the floor grating, you see only
blackness. A large signplate reads 'A-43'.

725
  This room is empty; at least mostly empty, from what you can see in the
darkness.

726
  You move cautiously along a dark, cold corridor. Water drips down
somewhere in the distance. You notice a series of mechanic's posters along
wall, and stop to admire the pictures for a second.

801
  The corridor runs west between heavy metal grating on all sides. To the
east is a large steel door which has seen quite a bit of abuse. A large
signplate reads 'A-15'. Looking down the corridor to the west, you can see
nothing... or was that something moving down at the other end?

802
  The corridor runs east and west. The heavy metal grating plates echo
solidly as you walk across them. A computer access panel in the wall has
been burnt out, and there are melted wires scattered on the floor.
The corridor ends at a door not too far to the east.

803
  At this point, a secondary access corridor runs south off the main
hallway. Looking in all three directions, you see nothing to make you
worry. Except for a large bloodstain on the wall here, of course.

804
  Just north of here is a major east-west corridor. A door blocks your way
south into what must be a large storage area. To the east and west are
more doors, although from the looks of it, they have been welded shut
with great strips of metal. The floor plates under your feet are smashed
and dented.

805
  You try to feel for the light switch as you enter this dark room, but the
buttons you press do not seem to work. From the echoes of your footsteps, you
are in some large chamber. Your foot knocks over an aluminum can, and you
notice other debris on the floor as well. Then, something in a dark
corner moves.

806
  You pass along the corridor. You can hear water dripping somewhere
below you. Some of the floor grates here look like they have been eaten
away by something.

807
  Your footsteps ring heavily on the metal grating as you tromp down the
corridor, which runs east and west. Luckily, the majority of the overhead
light panels are still working.

808
  The corridor runs straight east and west between heavy grating plates which
line the floors, walls, and ceiling. Here and there along the way are small
computer consoles and equipment hatches. You can see that the corridor ends
not too far to the west.

809
  The corridor leads east for quite a ways. To the west, your way is
blocked by a large solid door. There is a narrow opening leading north;
you can see light through the other side. There is some rubbish on the floor.

810
  The corridor runs to the west. Here there is a large door blocking your way
east. You notice that the door has been badly battered and dented from
this side... obviously it was smashed inward by something very large and
strong. Looking through the uneven crack between the two halves of the
barricade, you can see only darkness. There is a narrow, dark passageway
leading south between two large pipes. You can see light through the other
side. A large signplate reads 'A-18'.

811
  The corridor leads west between heavy metal grating. To the east, a
solid door blocks your path. You can hear water dripping somewhere. Your
voice echoes in this strange, cold place.

812
  Rows of smashed and toppled shelving make your progress into the room
difficult. When you finally arrive inside, you notice that most of the
movable objects in the room were once piled up just before the door. There
are several large pipe-cutting machines and welding devices jumbled in
a large heap. Broken glass is everywhere, as is a nasty chemical odor.
Nothing moves here.

813
  The corridor runs east and west between rows of equipment and digital
readouts. Most are shut off, but a few appear to be working. You can see
that the corridor just east of here.

814
  It is rather dark here. To the west, a large section of the overhead
lighting has burnt out. To the east, the corridor continues between rows
and rows of valves and other equipment. The hollow deck clanks beneath
your feet.

815
  The corridor is dark here; this section of the overhead light must have
malfunctioned. Looking up, you notice a gaping hole in the ceiling, and
a mass of twisted wires and piping in the crawl space. Water drips down
around you... drip... drip... drip...

816
  To the east, the overhead lights have malfunctioned. Past the darkness
you can see light again. Your voice seems to echo hollowly in this place.

817
  The hollow metal corridor runs to the east between large banks of valves
and equipment. Your way west is blocked by a large door. Your footsteps echo
off the metal interior of this long, straight passageway. A large signplate
reads 'A-17'.

818
  The corridor runs south toward the intersection. Metal grates clank under
your feet as you walk. Water still drips from the parallel groups of pipes
overhead. To the east is a large door.

819
  You stand at the western end of a long corridor which stretches to the
east. Metal grating lines the walls, ceiling, and floor. An opening leads
north toward another hallway. To the south is a broken door into what was
once the Med Lab. A large signplate reads 'A-16'. A solid door to the west
is labelled 'Stairwell S-1'.

820
  This long, wide corridor runs west toward what must be a stairwell.
Your way east is blocked by a single transparent door; the power
mechanism doesn't seem to be working right, although the door looks to be
intact. To the south here used to be a solid-looking door which has been
beaten inward. A signplate reads 'Operations'.

821
  This large laboratory / hospital has been wrecked beyond belief. Dozens of
large transparent jars have been smashed in a large pile. At one end of the
room, a heavy glass panel lies shattered inside the small bunkroom it once
separated the main area from. There is an open doorway to the north.

822
  Water drips down the stairs which descend down the stairwell. Looking
above you, you see that most of the ceiling has disintegrated, and a blasted
hole gives you a view of the grey sky above. There is a door to the east.
A large signplate reads 'S-1'.

823
  Some of the computers in this wrecked area are still functioning. You
notice several heavy piles of boxes and other metal objects near each door;
obviously they are meant to be used as barricades. At one end of the room,
supplies and ammunition have been carefully laid out... in preparation
for an assault, perhaps?
Some empty casings lie on the ground.
The skin of some dead animal lies here.
A bottle of medicine is here.
A camoflage shirt lies here.
There are some camoflaged pants on the ground.
Some combat boots sit here... something your mother might wear?
A rain poncho lies here.
A cheesy plastic belt lies in the dirt.
The skin of some dead animal lies here.
Some empty casings lie on the ground.
A Marine guards the area.
A Marine nervously scans the area.
An autogun swivels to face you as it senses your movement.

824
  This corridor leads east between metal grating. To the west is a
transparent door which still stands in one piece. Your footsteps echo
harshly in this strange, surreal environment.

825
  The corridor runs west. To the east is a large metal door which stands
half-open. There is a large, ugly hole in the ceiling from which sprawl
what must be miles of optic cable and wiring.

826
  The corridor runs east between solid metal grating. Your way west is
blocked by a large door which stands half-open. Water drips from the ceiling,
falling into the darkness under your feet.

827
  A large signplate on the metal wall reads 'S-1'. Water drips down the
steps which lead up. To the south is a large closed door. Your breathing
echoes around this enclosed space.

828
  To the east, a long, wide corridor leads off into the heart of the
compound. Broken glass from a shattered light litters the floor. To the
north is a large door leading into a stairwell. A large signplate reads
'A-9'. There is a hole here, and a dark shaft leading down. You can hear
the faint echoes of dripping water.

829
  The corridor ends a little ways to the west. East of here, it opens up
and looks brighter. On the floor here are scattered debris and wreckage
from lighting and other equipment. From a dark hole in the floor, you can
hear the wheezing rattle of an air conditioning fan.

830
  You slide through a dark opening... splash!!
  You are in a vast underground canal blocked at both ends by sealed 
bulkheads. The water is only up to your shoulders, but you can see by the 
marks on the walls that it was once much higher. A steady stream drips 
down in one corner. You notice a small plastic doll floating face-down on 
the dark surface of the water...

831
  Starting to the east, the corridor widens out and you can see a series
of doors along the south wall. There are two secondary corridors, blocked
by large access doors, which lead north and south from here. Debris
litters the floor.

832
  The corridor ends at a sold wall to the west. To the south is a large,
thick door which is partly open. The corridor runs east along a row of
doors which must run off into quarters. A few of the overhead lights
blink and buzz, but most are working. A large signplate reads 'A-12'.

833
  You stand at the top of a wide set of currogated metal steps which lead
down. The sounds of air conditioning machinery echo around the chamber.
To the north, an access door leads to parts unknown. A large signplate
reads 'S-4'.

834
  The long corridor runs east and west. Along the south wall are a series of
doors which lead into quarters and other areas. Light fills the room from
the mostly opaque windows along the north side of the corridor.

835
  The long, wide corridor runs east and west. Along the south wall are
doors. Most are intact, but a few have been broken down, both inward and
outward. Debris litters the floor.

836
  You stand in an empty living area. Obviously, these quarters have not been
moved into yet. A small air vent in one corner has fallen open, but looking
down into it, all you see is darkness. The exit is to the north.

837
  You tramp along the wide corridor. An overhead light blinks and hums as
you pass it. To the south are doors leading into other areas. It is very
quiet here.

838
  Clothing and furniture has been hastily piled on the small dining
table. You see no evidence of life in this one-family living space. The
door leads north.

839
  The door to these quarters has been knocked in. All the furniture has been
moved to the north end of the area, near the door. Searching around, you
find nothing but debris. There are some half-empty boxes of food under one
of the beds.

840
  The corridor runs east and west in silence. Along the south side are
doors leading into what must be quarters, etc.

841
  These living quarters are empty, and contain no signs of life other
than a few cleaning supplies in one closet. A thin layer of dust covers
the furniture, and you notice that the air conditioning system does not
appear to be working.

842
  You move cautiously along the corridor. Your footsteps echo off the
grey metal walls. Along the south side can be seen doors. Many are
smashed in or dented; some are not.

843
  Papers and large, thick notebooks are strewn everywhere. In the mess
you also manage to find an opened box of donuts with mold on them. One of
the desk drawers lies upside down on the floor; several boxes of
ammunition lie scattered near it. The door is to the north.

844
  The corridor runs east and west. Although it was once a populated area
with little kids running around and people smiling at eachother, it is
now deserted. There are doors along the south wall.

845
  A small audiodisk player still emits faint strains of easy listening
music. Searching around, you find nothing amiss in these offices, except
for some stray papers scattered on the floor. The door is to the north.

846
  The wide corridor runs east and west. Along the north wall, milky
opaque window blocks let in a grey light. Water drips down from a hole in
the ceiling.

847
  The door to this area is partially ajar, and the whole place is pretty
well wrecked. In one corner, the ventilation grating has been torn or
knocked off, and there is a black gaping hole in the floor underneath it.
Debris lies everywhere.

848
  You move along the wide corridor. Along the south side are doors, evenly
spaced. Looking around, you sense nothing moving.. that you can tell anyway.

849
  Nothing seems to be amiss about these living quarters. You spend a few
minutes browsing through the large selection of lingerie in a bedroom
door. Your heart pounds, and not because you're scared.

850
  You stand in a long, wide corridor which runs east and west. You can
see its end a ways to the east. To the south is a door.

851
  This area shows signs of a struggle. Much of the furniture is broken, and
quite a few of the ceiling tiles now lie on the floor. There are a few
splatters of blood, too.

852
  The corridor runs west as far as you can see. A line of doors marches
down the south wall. Just east of here, your view is blocked by a wall or
something.

853
  The cooling unit in this room still functions. Looking around, you can
see large bins and shelves holding an assortment of health care products
and cleaning supplies. Most are packaged under the name of some company
you've never heard of. A door leads north.

854
  The wide corridor runs west as far as you can see. Along its south wall
are evenly spaced doors; along the north are large opaque window blocks
which let in a grey light. North and south of you are large access doors.
To the east, the corridor is blocked by a large steel vacuum door. A
signplate reads 'A-8'.

855
  Fans whir busily in this room. Something shiny catches your eye, and
you notice hundreds of data disks scattered around the floor in one corner.
Then, something moves.

856
  Just east of here, the corridor is blocked by a large, solid bulkhead.
Along the north side, rows of doors are spread out along the length of
the hallway. To the south, a dented access door stands. A large signplate
reads 'A-11'.

857
  You stand at the bottom of a wide set of corrugated metal steps. A large
signplate reads 'S-4'. A heavy access door leads south. Water drips down
from somewhere above you.
An alien tooth lies here.
An alien skull lies here.
An alien claw lies here.
Some empty casings lie on the ground.

858
  The long, wide corridor dead-ends not to far to the west. Along the
northern wall are row of doors which are spaced apart. Between them are a
few colorful pictures and bulletin boards. Along the south are banks of
adjustable windows which are currently in their opaque mode. You press
the controls, but they don't seem to work for some reason.

859
  These small, compact quarters once housed a few people from the looks
of things... it appears as though they left in a hurry. The exit lies to
the south.

860
  The long, wide corridor runs east and west. Along the northern wall are
doors leading off into quarters. Many have nameplates or welcome mats
outside them.

861
  In the middle of the living area in these small quarters are a couple
of polysynth suitcases, half full of what must be family heirlooms and
treasures. The rest of the place looks as though it has been ransacked.

862
  A family once lived here. Where they are now, who can say? You notice
that the ceiling is hanging down in one corner of the area. Looking up
into the crawl space, you can only see water dripping down at you. The
door is to the south.

863
  You walk along the wide corridor which runs east and west. There are
doors along the northern wall.

864
  These quarters have not been used in some time. They are basically empty.
One of the ceiling panels has fallen down onto a bed in the sleeping area.
Water drips onto an empty countertop.

865
  The wide corridor stretches east and west for hundreds of paces. There
are doors to the north; they lead off into quarters. It is strange how
empty this place is.

866
  This area has been wrecked. Personal belongings and clothing are strewn
all over. Most of the ceiling has fallen down into the center of the room.
There are boxes and chairs piled around one bed which looks like it was
ripped apart with a chainsaw.

867
  The long hallway runs straight east and west. Along the south wall are
white opaque windows. To the north are doors leading into quarters. There
is a large, dripping hole in the ceiling here.

868
  The corridor runs west as far as you can see, and dead-ends not too far
to the east. Along the north wall are doors leading into what must be
colonists' quarters. To the south are rows of opaque windows which manage
to let a grey, grim light fill the area.

869
  There are still several uneaten donates and two cold coffee cups on the
small kitchen counter. Looking around, you notice nothing strange about
this living area; all the pictures on the wall are straight, and there is
even a little aquarium with real fish in it. The door leads south.

870
  The long corridor runs east and west. To the north are doors leading
into quarters. There is a large hole punched into a wall panel here.
Dripping water echoes down the corridor.

871
  This living area is deserted. There are no signs of life. There are,
however, a number of bullet holes in the far wall. Most of the furniture
has been wrecked. The door is to the south.

872
  The wide corridor runs straight east and west. To the north is a large
door. Over it, a sign reads 'Secondary education'. Water drips down from
somewhere above you, and the floor is slippery under your feet.

873
  Wow... looks like a hurricane hit this place. Everything is strewn all
over. All the furniture is piled in one corner, right under the crawl
space access hatch which lies in pieces on the floor. You can leave to
the south.

874
  This was once the older kids' classroom. The desks here are larger, and
the books that are strewn all over look like they have fewer pictures. An
opening leads west into more classroom space. The exit is to the south.

875
  The corridor runs east and west. To the north is a large door which is
cracked open a bit. Tacked around it are child's drawings and scribbled
poems. Most are soaked and stained by the water dripping down from overhead.

876
  This was once the lower level school. From a large, waterstained photo
on one wall, you can see that there were a couple dozen kids in this age
range. Books and papers have been strewn everywhere. A large transparent
window section looking out on the compound has been shattered inward. The
door is to the south. An opening leads east into more classroom space.

877
  The corridor runs east and west. To the north is a large door which has
been painted several different bright colors. A large sign reads 'REC
CENTER'. It must not be all fun and games in there, however; the door has
been dented and smashed inward.

878
  Along one side of this large area is a small bowling lane. There are a
number of pool tables which have been pushed up against a storage closet
in the back... how strange. Several computer arcade machines lie on their
sides near the middle of the room. Two of them are still beeping and
flashing lights at you. The door is to the south.

879
  The family who lived here kept their place neat and tidy. Too bad they
aren't around to greet you. But SOMETHING is, and it ain't too hospitable
either!!!

901
  You stand near the northeast corner of a large chamber filled with huge
pieces of machinery. There is a large door to the east. Water drips down
from the ceiling.

902
  You pass between rows of enormous pieces of dead machinery. In the
center of the chamber is a huge vertical pylon lined with pipes and
tubes. There is about an inch of water on the solid concrete floor. It is
very dark here.

903
  You are near the eastern end of the huge chamber. Great pieces of
machinery tower above you. The only sound to be heard is that of your
footsteps... and of your pounding heart.

904
  Tall, powerful looking machines tower over you, all silent. The wall to
the south is bare and wet. It is very dark here.

905
  You are in a large, solidly built chamber filled with huge pieces of
complex machinery, now silent. The floor is wet, and the air is still and
cold.

906
  You pass among the huge, now-silent machines. Out in the center of the
area is a massive pylon surrounded by huge pipes and hoses. Nothing moves
here. The air is cold and clammy.

907
  You stand in a large, cold space inhabited only by silent machinery.
There is a large door in the south wall.

908
  You stand near the northwestern corner of a large chamber filled with
silent machinery. In the center is a huge metal pylon extending from
floor to ceiling. A spaghetti-like maze of pipes and tubes runs all over
the place. The first thing you notice is the silence. To the west is a large
door.

909
  The stairwell leads up the side of a large vertical shaft which drops
down into darkness. On the other side you can see a large metal cage on a
pulley. Other than the weak light beaming down from high above, there is
no illumination here. There is a large door to the east, and to the west
is a bulkhead labelled 'Water Storage 3'. A large signplate on the wall
reads 'A-8'.

910
  You step into a large room. What were once shelves and bins lie smashed
and scattered on the floor. Horrified, you try to back out....

911
  You stand inside a large stairwell constructed of heavy steel grating.
A large door surrounded by a metal bulkhead exits to the north. The
stairwell seems to be constructed up the side of a large, open shaft
which drops down into darkness. A large metal plate reads 'S-8'.

912
(see 830)

913
  The mammoth space of the vehicle parking area lies to the northeast.
You crouch near the corner, looking for signs of life. There is a large
door to the south; access into a stairway of some type.

914
  You are inside a large, grimy area where vehicles are cleaned off and
checked. To the east, the chamber opens into a larger parking area. Overhead,
great girders hold up the high ceiling. The floor is solid concrete, covered
with grimy water. A door leads north into a stairwell. A large
overhead sliding door blocks off the exit to the west; it appears to
be operated by a small console which utilizes a card scanner. Nothing moves
here.

915
  You move along cautiously near the south wall of the garage area.
Overhead, a network of metal beams forms weird shadows which are cast on
the wet floor. There are several vehicles parked here; they look like
they've been here for some time.

916
(see 857)

917
  You are near the western edge of the large parking garage. Out in the
center of the huge chamber are some vehicles. To the west is a vestible
before the main exit. Up on one wall is a large calendar with full-length
photos of well-built female bodies. Nothing stirs here. The air is cold
and clammy.

918
  You stand in the northwest corner of the large, open area. There is a small
side office here with a single desk. On the wall are tacked notices about
employee benefits, etc. The garage opens up to the southeast, where you
can see several vehicles parked. The air is clammy and cold.

919
  You are near the center of the large, cold chamber. The vehicles here
look like they have not been used in a while. The floor is slippery with
a mixture of water and lubricating oil. Anytime you say anything, your
voice echoes back at you. The lights are malfunctioning here.

920
  To the west is the corner of the garage. East of here can be seen an
opening into a smaller maintenance area. Out in the middle of the room to
the south are a few vehicles. There are no signs of life here.

921

922
  You are near the southern wall of the expansive vehicle parking area.
The floor underfoot is slippery with water and vehicle fluids. There is a
small side chamber to the southeast where a number of large canisters and
pallets are stacked. It is very quiet in here, except for the fans far
overhead.

923

924
  This alcove is bigger than it looks, but it is filled with large stacks
of crates, pallets, and fuel tanks. North of here the space opens up into
a large vehicle parking area. The floor underfoot is slippery and wet.

A large cargo crate is here.

crate (here) :
a stim hypo
some MRE's
some MRE's
some MRE's

925
  Crates, pallets, and large barrels surround you. The alcove opens up
into a parking area to the north. Water drips down from the ceiling. To
the south is a large door.

926
  You are near the eastern end of the storage alcove. There are a number
of large pallets and crates stacked here. The chamber opens up to the
north. Brrr.... you are sure cold!

927
  Dark corridors run east and south. The power is definitely not working
in this part of the complex. Water drips down all around you. You stumble
over something on the floor, and notice that it is a shoe without an
owner. There is a large door to the north.

928
  You are near the southeastern corner of a huge chamber. Out in the
center are several rows of parked vehicles. Rows of lights shine down
from the ceiling far overhead, reflecting on the wet floor. To the
southwest is a side chamber which looks like a storage area. A corridor
leads east into darkness.

929
  This darkened corridor runs east and west. You wonder why the lights
are not working. To the west you can see light where it opens up; you can
also see a side corridor running north from here. There is a large gaping
hole in one wall; behind it you can see a number of large pipes and ducts.

930
  You stand near the eastern end of the large chamber. The hard concrete
floor is cold underfoot. You notice a pile of rags here, and discover
that they are actually clothing. Where is everyone? You peer around,
uncertainly. Your breathing echoes off the wall.

931
  You stand near the northeast corner of the garage area. A wide opening
leads east into more shops and storage rooms. Along the wall here are
various maintenance tools, and some controls which move the overhead
pulley mechanisms. Your footsteps echo in this large chamber.

932
  You stand near the wall of the garage. A heavy steel door leads north
into a maintenance storage facility. The floor is wet, and there are few
signs of life here. The air is clammy and cold.

933
  The wide corridor leads west into a large center where you can see
parked vehicles. There are tire tracks on the heavy concrete floor
beneath you. To the east, you can see more hallways leading to various
shops and equipment rooms. Fans whir overhead.

934
  You stand in a wide, cold corridor which leads north and south. There
are openings at both ends, not too far from you. Your breath echoes in
this large, empty space.

935
  The corridor branches off here, leading east, west, and south. Large
fans overhead direct cold air down onto you. The floor is wet and
somewhat slippery. There are no signs of life.

936
  The dark corridor runs west and makes a turn to the north, where you
can see overhead lights that actually work. Water runs freely down the
wall here.

937
  The corridor leads east and west. It seems to open up to the east. The
walls here are thick concrete, and clammy to the touch. Your breathing
echos around in the emptiness. Where is everybody?

938
  You stand in a wide, cold corridor which leads north and south. There
is a large steel door to the east. Water drips down the walls. You shudder.

939
  The corridor leads east and west. You are surrounded by solid concrete.
The air is cold and clammy-feeling.

940
  At this point, the main corridor runs west. To the east is a large
sealed steel door; another door is in the south wall. Your footsteps echo
off the concrete.

941
  You are at an intersection of two darkened corridors which run east and
south. To the north is a large door with several dents in it. Looking
around, you can see wires and other debris strewn about here. Water drips
endlessly from the darkness above. When you hold very still, you think
you can hear something moving near you....

942
  The darkened corridor runs east and west between large pieces of
now-silent machinery. They look like heating units of some kind. A couple
have been badly damaged by something you are unsure of. Your breathing
echoes heavily in the darkness.

943
  The darkened corridor runs to the north. To the south is a large, solid
access door. A large signplate reads 'A-51'.

944
  The corridor runs east and west into darkness. Silent machinery stands
on each side. Looking down through the floor grates you can see another
level below you. The smell of burnt plastic permeates the air.

945
  As you enter this large, dark room you notice that it seems to be
filled with rubble. The sounds of dripping water echo through the
chamber. Stepping forward, you feel a cold wet goo run down over your
face. Then, something hisses at you.

946
  In the darkness, you feel your way along the cold metal corridor which
runs west and south. There was a door to the north, but it looks to be
welded shut with great globs of silver metal.

947

948
  Darkened corridors lead to the north and east. The floor grates here
have been bent and mangled. Beneath them you can see a maze of pipes in
the crawl space. Water drips down from overhead. There is a door to the
south.

949
  Large pieces of equipment fill the center of the room. Off to one side
are some desks and chairs. Curiously, they appear to have been piled up
against the wall as sort of blockade. Looking up, you notice a hole in
the ceiling overhead. A door leads south.

950
  You are in a large storage room filled with a number of wooden pallets.
There is a pile of rags and old clothing in one corner. Doors lead north
and east. There is a large hole in one wall; but it is far above your
head. Your footsteps echo in this hollow space.

951
  The corridor runs east and west. Other than the sound of the floor
plates clanking under your feet, it is very quiet. Too quiet. Where is
everyone?

952
  You walk unsteadily down the corridor. Great pieces of machinery stand
on both sides. The overhead lights are not working. You feel insecure.

953
  The corridor runs east and west into darkness. Water drips down onto
you. There is some heavy damage to the machinery here, and one of the
floor grates is missing. As you step across you see a black hole dropping
down far below you...

954
  At this point, dark corridors run off to the west and south. To the
north is a large door. A metal plate reds 'A-25'. Holding very still, you
realize that you can hear only your own breathing.

955
  The hollow metal corridor runs north and south through darkness. You
feel uneasy as you pass on through the wet gloom.

956
  You stand at an intersection between darkened corridors which lead
north, east, and west. A pugnent smell fills the air. Dripping water can
be heard in the distance.

957
  You stumble along the darkened corridor. The floor grate is wet and
slippery underfoot. The air is stagnant and smells of decaying food. The
sound of your movement echoes around the chamber.

958
  The darkened corridor runs east and west. It looks like something was
dragged along the dirty floor grates here. A torn pair of pants lie
crumpled in the corner.

959
  You stand at an intersection between corridors which run north and
west. To the east, the ceiling has collapsed, forming a barricade. You
stumble on the sharp metal debris on the floor. Water drips from the
ceiling above you.

960
  Dark corridors branch off to the north, south, and east. You are
somewhere deep within the complex, and you have no idea where. There is
quite a bit of damage to the walls and floor here. Water drips noisily
all around you, and steam erupts from several broken pipes. Looking
closely at the metal walls, you notice that they seem to be coated with
some kind of slimy excretion.

961
  The dark corridor runs north and south. Although the power is out, you
can hear noises off in the distance. Fearfully, you creep along the dark,
cold passageway...

962
  The dark corridor runs to the east. To the west, it is blocked by a
large door which has been knocked outward from you. Water drips down from
overhead. Looking down, you notice that many of the floor grates are
missing. You are not alone here...

963
  The dark corridor runs east and west. Steam blows out from a broken
pipe in the wall. The floor plates are in shambles..... so are your nerves.

964
  The corridor runs west into darkness, and south toward a large opening.
You notice a particularly slimy substance secreted on the walls and floor
here.

965
  To the south, the corridor opens up into a wider area. Fearing for your 
safety, you back up against a wall and find it covered with a wet sticky 
goo. Steam erupts from a broken pipe in the ceiling. In the darkness, it 
seems like fantastic shapes arise from the opening before you.

966
  You wander through the maze of darkened corridors. Openings lead to the
north and west. There are heaps of rubbish strewn on the floor grates -
clothing, tools, papers everywhere... there is a large door to the east.
It has been broken inwards toward you, and if you open it just a bit you
should be able to squeeze by.

967
  The wide corridor runs east and west. On both sides of you are hatches
into large bins. The smell of rotting vegetables assaults your
nostrils... with no power, the refrigeration must not be working.

968
  The dark, wet corridor runs east and west. The metal grates go *clomp*
under your feet, and the noises echo all around you.

969
  The overhead lights are not working in this corridor, which runs east
and west between large storage bins.

970
  The dark corridor runs to the east. Large storage bins form walls on
either side. To the west is a large door. A metal plate reads 'A-38'. There
is a large pile of spilled grain here, mostly rotten.

971
  The corridor runs west into darkness. To the east, it opens up into a 
larger room. Large shapes can be seen in the dark; must be machinery of 
some type. Your heart beats quicker as you notice the amount of damage to 
the metal walls, and the great deposits of sticky, gooey junk.

972
  Fearfully, you step into the wide chamber. The floor is sticky and 
gooey underfoot. Looking around, you notice a number of large egg-shaped 
objects stuck to the floor. Your eyes fall upon a large disgusting 
protuberance which moves with a sickening wet sound; then you see its owner.

973
  The wide, solid concrete corridor runs east. To the west you are 
stopped by a large, sealed steel door. The air is cold here. A signplate 
reads 'A-4'. The overhead light seems to be burned out.

974
  The corridor runs to the west. East of here is a large door blocking 
your path. The chamber is cold and empty. A large signplate reads 'A-4'.

975
  You stand at the bottom of a cold, concrete stairwell. An access door 
leads west. Water drips down the steps from above you. A bold signplate reads
'S-2'. There are no signs of life here.

976
  The stairwell is empty. A thin stream of water trickles down from the 
upper level, disappearing below you. A large signplate reads 'S-2'. Your
footsteps echo hollowly in this enclosed space. To the west is a heavy,
sealed steel door.

977
  To the west is a large, heavy-looking steel door which has been dented in
from both sides. Just north of you, the corridor has been blocked off by
a jumbled pile of thick metal pallets. Looking closer, you see that the
makeshift barricade has been welded together... A heavy metal signplate reads
'A-14'.

978
  The corridor looks like it dead-ends not too far north of here. To the 
south, it leads into a darkened stairwell. You shudder, and grip your
weapon more tightly.

979
  In the dim light, you can make out a signplate reading 'S-2'. An access 
corridor leads north; the lights there appear to be working. The stairs lead
down into darkness.

980
  You crawl along a narrow, low tunnel which runs westward into
darkness. Above you, the tunnel opens up and you can see the dim light
of the outside.

981
  The tunnel runs north into darkness. To the east, it makes a right
angle, and you can see a dim light.

982
  The tunnel runs north and south into darkness. Judging from the sound
of the echoes, you are near at least one end of the passage.

983
  You move along the narrow tunnel which leads north and south into
darkness.

984
  You crawl along the narrow tunnel which leads north and south. The
echoes of your passage are distorted in the distance.

985
  The long, straight tunnel leads north and south. Your muscles are
cramping up, and there is no room to stand up here.

986
  The long, narrow tunnel continues on before you. It seems like you have
been crawling in here for hours.

987
  The tunnel leads north and south. You sincerely hope that you don't
meet any giant spiders here!

988
  The long, straight tunnel leads north and south into horrible darkness.
Your breath echoes noisily along its length.

989
  The long, straight tunnel runs north and south. You grimace as you feel
the soreness of your muscles. You have NO idea how much farther you will have
to travel here.

990
  You realize that, if you were a little fatter, you would be stuck in
this tunnel right now. That thought does NOT appeal to you!

991
  The cramped little tunnel runs north and south. You try to pace your
movement as you crawl along.

992
  The tunnel seems to run forever. Your muscles are cramping up.

993
  The narrow, cramped tunnel runs north and south for what seems like miles.

994
  The cramped tunnel runs north and south into darkness. Judging from the
sound of the echoes, there is something blocking the tunnel just north of
here.

995
  You are inside a narrow, low tunnel which echoes loudly. To the north
is a small metal access door blocking your way. You begin to feel a little
uneasy with your situation here.
