	Rubicon Volunteers - Things May Happen

	Things may happen. Things will happen a lot in Rubicon. I guess that the “Things May Happen” levels in Rubicon serve the same role as the Electric Sheep levels in Marathon Infinity, only they’re a lot more complex (do you detect a bit of sarcasm?). There’s nothing much to really do, here. No switches to hit with a grenade. No optional routs to take. Just admire all the swirling lights and find and drop down into the vortex. Just don’t take to long at it, as this is a vacuum level, as is the next. Incidentally, you may get caught on a ledge part way down, due to the 2.5 D nature of the Rubicon engine. If this happens, simply jump down again. The swirling lights, which will follow you throughout the dream levels in Rubicon, by the way, represent all of your multiple states. It’s as if you can see your pure essence in all time lines at once. At least the lights don’t come after or shoot you, as the Rubicon team had originally planned! After you drop into the vortex, you’ll be transported to the first or Rubicon’s dream levels – We Dream You. Personally, I think that Rubicon’s dream levels are a lot less cryptic than those in Infinity – they’re dreams the way they should have been done. But for the ultimate in dream levels, you really need to play EMR.
