Description           : A week has passed since the outpost on Mercator 3
                        has been reconquered. The "Lemarchant", a medium 
                        transport vessel heading for the outpost to
                        refuel, had to perform an emergency landing on the
                        southern main continent for still unknown reasons.
                        Although the ship seems to be only lightly damaged,
                        we have no contact to the crew.
                        You're sent to investigate the wreckage with two 
                        orders. First, try to find out why the "Lemarchant"
                        had to crash land and if anyone of the crew 
                        survived. Second order comes from Intelligence 
                        and is top secret: gain access to and secure the 
                        cargo the vessel transported. After the mission,
                        immediately report back for PSI scanning.
                          

Hints, Tips & Tricks  : -You might get into a situation where you have to
                         check your environment for hiding places.
                        
                        -Secure places behind you with RetroRadon traps.

                        -Once you combine the right things with each other
                         the switch code for the transport chamber is no
                         problem.

                        -HQ may inform you of many threats, but expect
                         the unexpected.

                        -Moloch already said that in the TC's manual, and
                         I can't stress this enough either: You CAN'T kill
                         all the bugs, so don't even think about it! 
                         ...especially when your objectives don't require
                         you to do this.

                        -If time's running out and you don't know where
                         to hide, it might be a good idea to go back to
                         to the roots.

                        This map is a tribute to Shinji Mikami and 
                        Flagship, the creative powers behind Resident
                        Evil. It was late when I started to get into
                        the dark world of Resident Evil, as I bought
                        my first game for the GameCube, the RE1 remake.
                        Not to mention that it scared the crap out of
                        me, it also introduced me to a whole universe
                        of X-Files-worthy conspiracies and hi-tec viral
                        horror. Thank you... and Rebecca Chambers IS
                        Nemesis! ;)
