Misc. Author Info       : Everything I really needed to know I learned
                          on the Shores of Hell.

Description             This is the DOOM 2 version of "The Gathering."

                        The moon base water treatment and recycling
                        center started reporting strange happenings
                        deep in there sewer system a few weeks ago.
                        Just days later a garbled transmission during
                        the sounds of battle made it through to the UAC
                        outpost on Deimos 4.
                        
                        "Nuke us.......it's the only.....have to...
                        ....cant make this......sewers...cavern...
                        from hell" 
                        
                        was all that could be understood from the message.
                        Not much to go on, but that's what you're used to.
                        They don't give you any easy ones, and you don't get
                        to ask to many questions.

                        The UAC needs you to investigate and "rectify" any
                        potential hazards on the water treatment facility.

                        Good luck.
                        
                        Dang! what the heck was that?  Just two tunnels and
                        an underpass from the UAC water treatment plant.  The
                        driver never saw the creature waiting in the tunnel.  
                        In a flash it was over.  Nothing could have survived
                        that crash... you could be wrong ... you did.  I guess
                        your on foot now.  Be careful, the truck that was
                        escorting you was carrying emercency supplies for the
                        plant personnel and some toxic waste.  Watch it,  that 
                        stuff is flammable.

                        Rumor has it that the hellspawn are constructing a
                        stronghold near the water plant.  If you make it to
                        level four, you'll have your work cut out for you.
                       

Additional Credits to   : My wife.  She is absolutely the greatest gal
                          in the whole world.  A true DOOM widow at times
                          but always delightful.

                        : Mike "All I want is a plasma gun" Hough; 
                          the greatest space marine in UAC history.
                          Mike spent hours playtesting this level.
                          Thanks for the encouragement.

                        : Paul "Don't Shoot! It's me!" Melko;  He helped me
                          debug some of the problems when playing in coop 
                          mode.  We played the levels a lot and they were
                          great in coop mode.

                        : ID Software - WOW!  Thank you so much.  This has
                          become a way of life.

                        : Raphael Quinet and Brendon Wyber for the awesome
                          DEU 5.21 editor.  You guys are brainiacs.

                        : My mother, the acadamy and all my grade school
                          friends..... ;)
