* FOE1 Story *

Background: This level is set before the events in Quake2. To most people the
existence of the Strogg is merely a wild rumour. The only people who know more
are those who work for the Top Secret "Alien Counter-Insurgency Bureau".

Investigating unexplained UFO sightings, alien abductions and other seemingly
unlikely events, the Bureau has come to the conclusion that behind some of these
events there lies a frightening reality.

It is the Bureau's opinion that a malignant alien force (known as the Strogg) intend
to invade the Earth at some point. Current investigations indicate that the alien's
home planet Strogg lies many light years from Earth, but that they have sent one or
more spacecraft here in order to set up some kind of interstellar wormhole device,
thus allowing a full scale invasion of Earth from Stroggos.

In the last few days contact has been lost with the Freedom Space Station.

All attempts to locate a Strogg earth-side H.Q. have been fruitless. However news has
just come in that a group of agents sent to scout-out one suspected site have not
returned, raising the possibility that the captured agents might reveal the location
of the Bureau's H.Q. under torture...

Now: It's the end of a worrying day at the Bureau. You're just getting ready to
leave the Top Secret headquarters building when the Strogg attack! Using overwhelming
force, and the element of surprise, the Forces Of Evil eliminate practically every
agent within minutes. By chance you were in the basement bathroom when they attacked.
Hearing the FOE approaching, you grab your blaster and get ready to fight...

* FOE2 Story *

Background: This level follows directly from FOE1.

As sole survivor of the devastating Strogg attack on the Headquarters of the A.C.I.B.,
you are the only human who knows of the existence of the alien threat.

The information stored on the data CD gave the location of the house in the hills
where the agents disappeared, as well as plans detailing a means of access via the
sewer system.

Unfortunately, you will need to locate the lost agents to retrieve a set of fingerprint
pads to bypass the building's security system...


* FOE3/4: Story *

Background: These levels follow directly from FOE2.

After surviving the surprise Strogg attack on the A.I.C.B. headquarters you managed
to make your way to the Strogg H.Q. in a mansion in the hills and wreak havoc.

After wiping out the whole nest of Strogg you find a shuttle craft primed and ready
for lift-off in a secret underground launch bay. Data on the Strogg computer tells
you what the Strogg are up to.

It seems that the Strogg launched an interstellar vessels some years ago designed to
reach Earth and establish a bridgehead for a full scale invasion.

In order to facilitate the invasion they intend to set up an interstellar
wormhole device to act as an instantaneous gate between the Strogg planet and Earth
orbit. A small preliminary gate is currently being prepared on the Strogg vessel...

Having discovered this information you decide that the only course of action open to 
you is to get in the shuttle and head for the space station. When you get there you're
going to show these aliens just who they're dealing with...

I foyu can, you're going to stop them setting up the interstellar gate device. If it's
already up and running? Well, maybe that thing works both ways, in which case you might
just make a home call on the Strogg themselves...
