UPSX ep1 p2 notes
E1l5 should end with r15 somehow linked together, at the end of l15 at lava area there shou be a temple crypt entrance similar to the next generation screenshot one I suppose or something more simple. This should go diretly into e1l6. Between e1l5c and d we can use for example parts of alpha/beta levels like the old arizax which would fit thematically right in. This would be a bit of a guest level thing but if nobody else would step up to fill the gap this would be obvious choice.
E1l6 is a tough job and I partially was doing conversions already. E1l6a is whole as introductary level by eric, but the other parts are levels by john, we can use moros16 end part to bridge as level ending going to e1l7.
E1l7, this is the level whee it goes a bit deathmatchy again. We will have another additional friendly human character by the end, with the nali reveal of jrath and everything. This character will be called Pariah and his skin was already in and comes from the very early botpack when it was still meant to be expansion set. 
Pariah will know Jack from past, and is a replacement in the story for his father. 
He was presumed dead but his last mission was on Na Pali when he was betrayed by the Inuit. This will be a shock to the player and will shed doubt on Inuit for the first time. Pariah will not warn Jack about Hari, since he doesn't know about Hari involvement. After Iris explains that she is a prototype AI that was meddled by the military/inuit, but explains her true origins are much older and hint that many full AIs have influenced many planets/civilizations and the Nali are one of such. She explains her looks are a mix between her creator race and human look taken from the bits of her scrambled memory put together. The creator race is obviously called Dranoel. Pariah also explains that he will die if he will leave the temple area but is locked within this sanctuary as some unknown force tere keeps him alive, but as soon as he would leave, he would crumble to dust, his existence is not full. This is an explanation why he cannot join the player in his quest. The unknown force might be the nali healing pools/other sources within the temple. 
After Iris sugests to contact Hari in a distrustful manner, he gets very upset and questions Jack and his obedience and summons him or want to to another location. Jack has to flee soon as presence of Skaarj arrive and he has to escape trough to mountains canyon leading right into skaarj fortress, which is e1l8 and wil use the swamp castle texture set together with skaarj. Because Kew's help is unsure, I might have to make the levels myself but base them on the recovered material/screenshots. Such as the main map of the 95 tech demo but mae proper and cliff/james "levels".
