Description:	For years, scientists have played around with teleports and such, but now, one scientist, considered to be insane, has made what we thought was mad. He found a gateway between time, a "Time Slip". This allows you to travel back in time, and then come back to where you began, walk into the time slip chamber, press the button, and ZAP! you're back in the present. One problem. The teleports, as you may know, (if you read readme.exe in Doom) have unleashed some of the most hideous creatures ever. Those cannibal mutations are getting through the teleport statios, and entering the "Time Slips". Since then people have been disappearing rapidly. So has some shops and buildings. The Demons must be killing people in the past, which is effecting the future. A Marine, like you, is sent to spy on the enemies. He was killed and hung by a chain, as his last words were: "You bstrds! [click click] What? [more clicking] Oh sh*t! My gun...get away from me with that!! [clanking of chains and choking noises] Please!" [transmission cut] That spy was useful, though, he told that they had a whole castle under control. They've put up glass windows to check on the prison cells without trouble. They've through of everything. Except for the fact that someone can get to them through the time slip. You are sent through the time slip, and are to destroy these hellspawns. Your main task is: Attack! (See end of Text for Mission 2 story)

mrthejoshmon	w00t, this is bad	x
Anonymous	July 1996 was quite late for a Doom-only level, so you think that this would be a pinnacle of slickness. But it's not. Its miseries are numberful, but there's a cramped layout, a stuck imp quite near the beginning, missing textures, bits that don't work etc, to start with.	x

Information             : I tried to add some cool stuff into this level,
                          like two new doors, and those worked. I've
                          also got a new "lite" texture, and some new music.
                          But my favorite of them all is the glass window.
                          No, this isn't some blank wall texture that you
                          shoot through. It's something much better. I've
                          created a window that you can break through
                          when you shoot it. Yes, bullet holes appear like
                          magic! Yes, it is cool, but you'll have to be
                          one h*ll of a hacker to figure out how I did it.

Mission II: Home sweet home?

After you clean out the citadel, your mission is achived. You triumphantly
swagger into the dank Time Slip, ready for your welcome mat back at the base. 
You press the time warp button, happy as can be. But when you return, no one
is there to greet you. No cake, no party, not a trace of humans. This means
only one thing. While you were killing, so were they! Just at a different
place. They were destroying your friends' past. The base is now filled with
the enemies' humans. But, how could they kill the 320 people in your city?
How did they just "disappear"? This can't be right. They've got to be alive 
somewhere. Or, maybe they did get assasinated. Hmm...who could they kill to
stop all humans...? Wait! The first people were Adam and Eve, right? If they
kill Adam or Eve, earth's population will never exist! But then, why am I
alive? Well, if the moment I Slipped, Adam and Eve died, it wouldn't effect
me, I don't think. Well, you've still got the Time Slip chamber, so why don't 
you go back and kill all those monsters at the Garden of Eden? But wait. 
You've got to kill the monsters first, or else they'll keep killing Adam and 
Eve over and over. Maybe, if you kill all the lunkheads on Interius, the 
monsters' generation point, home of the scientist who invented `Time Slips' 
and most of the laboratories in the Galaxy. So, if you clean out Interius, 
the labs, and then slip back to before Adam and Eve were created, kill the 
assasins that will slip in and then leave back to your base, things will be 
as they were.

(Scroll Down for Epilogue)

After you return home, everyone is waiting for your arrival back from the
castle, they don't even know that they were killed a few times. Boy, have
you got a story for them.
