Misc. Author Info       : Crazy cyclist, metalhead, Doom freak, 'nuff said.

Story                     Doom: The year is 2206, and earth has finally begun to exploit the resources
			  of the solar system.  The first planet on the list is Mars.  The reasons
			  are very obvious of course: One, Mars is the least hostile, and two,
			  Mars is the most mineral rich planet at this system, as Earth has been
			  nearly drained dry of resources, except in northern Canada and Russia.
			  You and your battallion are stationed there to protect the interests of
			  the conglomerate Union Aerospace Corporation.  From what, you have no 
			  damned clue, because no one has screwed with the International Marine
			  Corps. for twenty years.  Not only that, you have the best equipment in 
			  the solar system, all supplied by the UAC, of course.  The UAC has been
			  tinkering with gates on the Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos.  Fear and
			  Madness...you laugh at the names, considering how tiny the moons are.  
			  So, life on Mars is incredibly dull.  All there is to do is sit on your 
			  ass and watch movies, and pray for something little to happen, which it
		          doesn't.  However, at the end of your second month there, the alarms go off.
			  something has gone wrong.  There's screaming over the coms that creatures
			  are emerging from gates on the lunar surface.  Hideous beasts.  You thank
			  the powers that be, without thinking of course, for this break in the droning
			  lifestyle of a Martian soldier.  You and your men begin boarding the craft 
			  and getting geared up to confront whatever these creatures are.  The shuttles blast
		          off for Phobos.  On the way to the moons, you notice that there is only one moon 
			  in the sky where there should be two...looks like the Phobos Hangar will be the
			  the landing spot.  You are ordered to guard the shuttle, and the assault
			  crews head out taking all the good stuff with them.  You look to the coms
			  to see and hear what is going on...it's an absolute bloodbath. Your comrades
			  are brutally slaughtered like lambs in a tight enclosure.  Blood spatters
			  walls, intestines decorate the ground...and you can hear a faint crunching
			  sound over the com.  Well, it's either kill or be killed.  After all, you're
			  sick of sitting on your ass, it's time to kick some!

                Doom II:  You return home from the hellish nightmare of Mars and her moons, hoping
			  for some respite and a lot of much needed r'n'r.  However, fate can be cruel.
			  When you land, you find earth has been invaded by the very creatures which
			  you slaughtered left, right, and centre on Mars.  People are running in terror,
			  and are being rounded up by IMC soldiers onto escape pods.  However, the creatures
			  are a lot smarter than they appear to be.  They've erected an energy field to
			  prevent all take-offs and landings.  The remainder of humanity is trapped, and the
			  only thing between them and the creatures is the remainder if the IMC troops.  You
			  and the soldiers rally up to re-enter the starport for one sole purpose, saving
			  humanity.  You, and them charge in headling, guns blazing, and the soldiers around you
			  drop like flies.  Well.  Looks like it's you and them.  Again.  Payback's a bitch.

              Evilution:  Earth has been saved, and the Union Aerospace Corporation is in shambles.  And, as
			  wonderful as that may sound (after all, they ARE responsible for screwing with the warp 
			  gates), it's actually bad.  So, after a short depression, the world is back on its feet
			  again, and the UAC is rebuilt as well.  Thankfully they're still supplying the renowned,
			  albeit still greatly diminished International Marine Corps.  The UAC, like all conglomerates,
		  	  is not one to sit on their laurels, however, and proceeds to Jupiter's moon.  But this time,
			  they had the Marines stationed on site, and armed to the teeth.  And of course, Murphy's Laws
			  are proven once again.  The critters return.  The bastards never learn, do they?  And of course,
			  who's the leader of the defence team?  You, of course.  Talk about the shaft.  However, you and
		          your troops know your stuff; you have the invasion supressed within an hour, and the gates are shut
			  off from your end.  Time to breathe easy...or so you think.  Within a few weeks, the annual supply 
			  ship comes in oh, seven months early.  However, the UAC is too busy working on their experiments that
			  the disregard it.  Big mistake.  The ship opens up as it descends, and creatures begin pouring out.
			  first a mass of Cacodemons and Pain Elementals, to secure the way.  And then, as it gets to around fifty
			  feet above ground, the imps, demons, and worse follow suit.  It's an absolute bloodbath, and your comrades
			  at arms are slaughtered like cattle.  You, however, were not on base, you were sent on an errand to the
			  supply shed.  On your way back, however, you are confronted by an imp, who's face you gladly rearrange with
			  your Beretta 2092.  Well...here we go again...

The Plutonia Experiment:  You return home, finally on leave, and you hear the news:  The UAC has been fooling with the gates on EARTH, and
			  something has gone wrong..."Geez, now there's a fucking surprise!", you yell out, right in the middle of the starcruiser
			  returning to earth.  You check the drawer below your seat, to make sure your pistol, shoulder holster and spare clips
			  are still there.  Yep.  Good, 'cause you're gonna need 'em.  As you look up, you see every face still turned to you.
			  Most of them are marines, the remaining survivors of the Jovian catastrohe.  You begin to seethe with rage.  The ship docks,
			  and the soldiers all rush to the barracks.  But you do not.  You go to the commanding officer, and request that you be sent 
			  to the disaster site post-haste, and with a little arguing and bribery, you get it.  One more time into the fray, this is it.
			  No quarter shall be asked or given, ever again.

Description:  For now, this is a weapons add-on with 16 distinct weapons (17 if you include 
	      akimbo weapons) and now enhanced gore.  This IS a work in progress.  Things 
              will be added when I have time to add them.
              


			  The weapons:
			  *Note, these are not the buttons you press to access the weapons
			  
			  1)Fists - You know 'em, and probably don't love 'em 'cause they suck.  
			            these are damned near useless on anything other than zombies...
				    and even then you're taking a chance.

			  2)Laserblade - a lot more powerful than hand-to-hand, but slower.  
			                 no autofire.  This will be your back-up weapon for when
					 the crap hits the fan, and you'll be glad to have it.

			  3)IMI Desert Eagle .50 AE - The crazy Isrealis really struck gold with
						      this baby!  A lot more powerful than the 
						      Beretta, and more accurate.  The magazine
						      is much smaller, at only 7 rounds.
				
			  4)MAC-10 .45ACP - For some reason or another, the UAC decided that they
					    would like to change the standard sidearm from the small
					    but efficient Beretta .45 automatic pistol to the
					    once-long-outlawed Cobray MAC-10 .45ACP machine pistol.
					    Many wonder why it was chosen, and yet just as many know
					    exactly why:  High rate of fire, and can be used as a pistol
					    too.  It was also retro-fitted with a low-zoom scope
					    for long range work, as well.  Not that it'll be of
					    much use, mind you...
					   
					   
			  5)Akimbo MAC-10 .45ACP - Now ya got two MAC-10's.  Twice the firepower
						   for twice the price!

			  6)Sawed-off shotgun - pump action, hit's relatively hard...so long as
						you hit 'em with the whole shell.  It's rate of 
						fire is okay, not bad for a pump-action 12 guage.

			  7)Automatic shotgun - full auto shotgun.  Go nuts.
			
			  8)Assault Rifle - The UAC M-800 bullpup Assault Rifle has been the 
					     standard terran infantry assault rifle for the past
					     fifteen years, and for good reason.  It's capable
					     of firing the powerful 7.62mm round in either full
					     auto or single shot with greater reliability than 
					     any other assault rifle of the same bullet caliber
					     today, and at a higher rate of fire.  It's only 
					     downsides are its 30 round magazine and loud firing
					     sound.
							        

		          9)UAC Pulse Rifle - a fully automatic railgun developed by UAC
			     to combat the anyone they don't like on VERY unequal terms.  
                             Rate of fire is incredibly high, as is the hitting power, 
                             but accuracy is terrible.  Its secondary is a 
                             20mm grenade launcher under the barrel that provides MUCH more pain.
			     Furthermore, to add to your glee, selecting this puppy again will put
                             it into the 10 guage magnum shotgun mode, which is far more powerful 
			     than the other shotgun.  The Pulse Rifle's magazine is 50 rounds of 
			     7.62mm caseless explosive/light AP rounds, and the grenade launcher 
			     carries 10 20mm high-explosive rounds, and the shotgun loads 10 shells.  
			     Can you say "crowd control"?

			  10)H&K PSG1 - Very powerful sniper rifle, semi-auto, fire 
			     as fast as you can click the mouse button/hit ctrl.  Reloads
			     after 20 shots.  high zoom.

			  11)Barret M82 sniper rifle - The Barret .50 BMG...the words strike fear
						       into the hearts of all who may be exposed
						       to its wrath.  It may weigh 11 kilos, but it's
						       PSI impact is 1000 times the weight, 
						       so it's a fair tradeoff.  There ain't much on
						       two legs or more than can survive more than
						       a couple direct hits from this baby, and the
						       zoom is to-die-from...I mean for.  

			  12)M60 LMG - A weapon that has truly endured the sands of time.
				       Although its rate of fire leaves much to be desired, it
				       packs a very nasty punch with excellent accuracy.

			  13)General Electric M-134 Minigun - An incredibly fast firing weapon, 
							      this baby's all about not only 
                                                              killing, but scaring the ever-loving 
                                                              shit out of just about anything that 
                                                              moves by cutting down everything 
                                                              around it.  Rate of fire is very 
                                                              frightening, and so's the
						              accuracy...although not in a good 
							      way.  

			  14)UAC RPG - shoulder-mounted, HUGE damage.  Even more damaging is 
				   its secondary fire, the Fuel-Air Explosive Warhead, which has
				   the same blast yield as the bomb dropped on Nagasaki in 1945.

			  15)UAC Naphtha/Acetelene Flamethrower - Very deadly flamethrower, but has 
                                                              a very short range.  Lighting victory
							      cigars is highly recommended against,
							      As there is potential to cook your
							      own face...instantly.

			  16)UAC Smart Gun - Another pulse weapon, this also fires 7.62 mm 
					     caseless slugs...but this is a bit different...it is
					     capable of autotracking targets, hence the name
					     "Smart Gun".  It's damage is the same as the Pulse 
					     Rifle, but it's a lot more accurate.  No secondary
					     fire.

			  17)UAC Heavy Plasma Cannon or "Gluon Gun" - plasma weapon that fires either a 
                                                                  slow but steady stream of energy,
                                                                  or an unstable blast that'll nuke 
                                                                  just about anyone's cookies.
