Misc. Author Info       : This episode was created for
                          the 1997 Con of the North
                          game convention in St. Paul,
                          Minnesota.

Description             : Many years have passed since
                          the first bloody encounters
                          with the enemy, and so, the
                          war against the demon invaders
                          continues, unabated, despite
                          the heroic efforts of the UAC.
                          Time has taken it's toll as
                          well. The resources of the
                          once mighty UAC are nearly
                          exhausted, while the enemy
                          seems to grow stronger and
                          bolder all the time...
                          You (and possibly, your
                          squadmate) are the last hope
                          of the UAC. You have been
                          chosen, from among the last
                          remaining space marines, to
                          penetrate the Caves of Steel,
                          formerly a UAC moonbase, and
                          somehow gain knowledge of (or
                          access to) the legendary
                          "ShadowGate", by which the
                          enemy transports most of its
                          troops and supplies. This gate
                          cannot be destroyed, but it
                          may be able to be used to
                          penetrate the supernatural
                          defenses of the enemy,
                          somehow. You will be inserted
                          directly into the base via
                          confiscated enemy slipgate
                          technology and from that point
                          on, you'll be on your own.
