Description             : 20 shortish levels split into three episodes:
                          Rear Entry, Knee Deep in the Sludge and Into the Blood
                         
                          "The Source" - That's what they call it. No one
                          quite knows what it is, apart from the birthing
                          grounds of the monstrous army that invaded your
                          planet. Your team was sent to destroy it, but the
                          way in was heavily guarded, and now only you
                          survive. You'll have to find another way in...

                          The maps are all relatively small with 2 min par
                          times as average. all are designed to be demo
                          friendly, possible from a pistol start and
                          reasonably challenging on UV.
