In Response To: Eternal volunteers: "Echoes of Eden" (pfhore) CHAPTER 5: ANTIQUITY
Chapter Screen: Marcus stands high upon a ledge and gazes out upon the vast landscape of the interior of the Sphere. His helmet is removed and in his hands; however as he is facing away from the camera, you still cannot see his face. (The landscape is based on a photo of New Zealand by Ben Oppenheimer.) Level 41: "Echoes of Eden" (Created by Andreas Nuyts. The title is the name of the band of my old friend Ben Wigler, who was an early member of the Eternal team back when it was called "Forever More", and also the original director of the defunct scenario project "Rameses". The title is meant to recall the "garden at the beginning of the world" line from the Unformatted KYT Terminal. Previous titles for this level were "Sphere of Annihilation", for the obvious reasons, and "Fifth Floor, Mens' Lingerie", which is part of a callback line involving an elevator from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.) You teleport in only to find yourself floating in space. Soon thereafter you teleport into a round room of a sleek, unfamiliar design. In this room are rechargers, a pattern buffer, and a terminal: [L41-T0-Unfinished] Outside this room is a vast, curvaceous warehouse-like facility. A nearby switch will begin to lower the elevator which is to take you to the end of the level. Banshees, shadowy figures with glowing red eyes stalk the otherwise empty halls, while fusion turrets fire impotently at them. Around the upper floors of this facility are weapons and munitions, and a terminal from Hathor: [L41-T2-Unfinished] Upon your return to the elevator, you find that pouring down it are not only more of the shadowy Banshees but also terrifying orange Headless creatures and hideous flying Nightmares, all of whom attack you. They prove more succeptible to your weaponry than the Banshees; and your new Wave Motion Cannon and Gravitronic Blades prove the only thing that can hurt the Banshees. When you reach the top of the elevator you find even more of these strange monsters, pouring in endless hordes into this courtyard with a strangely familiar sky... Not far away is a safe, lockable room, inside of which is a terminal: [L41-T1-Unfinished] You teleport out to Level 42: "The Dead Live In The Catacombs".
