* Story *  (There is an intro demo that explains this too)!

	You are a mercenary.  Businesses hire you to do undercover, dangerous
and sometimes illegal missions for them.  You have just accepted a new mission from
a Mr. Johnson (as he wishes to be called).  There is a legend of a source of power
that is supposedly located within a remote chain of islands.  This source of power
is said to give out extreme amounts of energy.  Whoever controls it could become very
powerfull indeed. Mr. Johnson wishes for you to search for this power source and if 
possible, return it to him.  But there is also word of another group of mecenaries 
that is searching for this source.  This group has already (supposedly) installed 
themselves throughout these islands in search for the same source of power.  This 
group is skilled, experienced and uses advanced technology.  Mr. Johnson doesn't care 
if you must kill members of this group as long as you beat them to the Source.  The 
islands where this source is suppose to be located are remote and unknown to most people.
They are basically a legend, as is the Source of Power, but they have been located by this
other group, and Mr. Johnson has arranged for a boat to take you there.  But first, you must
sneak into one of this other group's secret labs where they have important information about
some stone symbols that could help you on your quest (In the game, go to the help menu to review
these symbols and their meanings).  After obtaining this information, the boat will take you to 
the first of the islands....Ogre Island.  Good Luck.

* Other notes *

	I am interrested in making levels for any quake add-ons or conversions.  I would 
enjoy working with a team to make a quality quake patch.  If anyone is interrested in my 
services, please contact me here: gdavis@coastnet.com  .  Thanx.
