Marathon Emergency Systems Broadcast

Today at 0820 hours, the Marathon came under surprise attack
from unknown hostile forces. The Marathon has sustained
serious damage. The current situation is dire. All personnel
are required to arm themselves and fight for their lives.

***INCOMING MESSAGE FROM LEELA***

Welcome to the Marathon. I am Leela, one of the two surviving
Artificial Intelligences aboard the Marathon. I have been
severely damaged, and am working to understand the current
situation.

Find the teleport terminal located in the Hangar's control
room. By that time, I should have a better idea of what is
going on.

Here are some useful CAR.R.O.T's (CARnage Rule Of Thumb):
  • USE THE AUTOMAP ('M' key)
  • Learn to dodge (Use the sidestep controls).
  • Don't waste ammo.
  • RUN, RUN, RUN... Use the RUN key...
  • Learn to VID. That is, learn to look up and down at will.
    This is also useful for finding cool things.
  • Become one with the motion sensor.
  • Keep an open mind, and a loose trigger finger.
  • Save early and often. Games can be saved at pattern buffers
    which are the insert panels with the red lights on them. (Walk
    up to a buffer and press the TAB key)

    ***INCOMING MESSAGE FROM LEELA***

    I am detecting security breaches of the computer system from
    all over the Marathon. It seems that the aliens have some
    kind of cybernetic servant that is capable of interfacing with
    our systems. I detect over four hundred separate security
    breaches, and each moment there are more.

    You must kill any of these creatures that you find. It is a
    priority that these creatures be stopped. If they are allowed
    to continue, my own security will be compromised.

    Teleport now.

    I am now in contact with a number of colonists planetside, but
    their reports on the situation below are conflicting and
    obviously exaggerated.  The primary medium-range radio antenna
    has been disabled or destroyed, which makes communication
    extremely difficult.

    The only thing which seems clear is that the spaceport was
    obliterated by low-yield nuclear weapons minutes after the
    attack on the Marathon began.  This I can verify through my
    own optical instruments.

    The invaders seem to be more interested in the Marathon than
    the colony, at least in the short term.  The motives behind
    their unprovoked attack are still unknown, however.

    ammunition at this location.
    When firing on the fully
    automatic setting this weapon
    is highly inaccurate, but the

    Alien infiltration of

    caution.  You may find doors
    blocked or stairways retracted
    on the way, because the AI in
    control of these functions is
    damaged and behaving
    erratically.

    Marathon Internal Engineering Documents
    Section 1-c appendix H

    Subject: Doors
    By: Estasia Orestes, Dominick I. Plackar, and Ursa Simbalzi
    Date:<2402.03.23.16.42>

    There are five basic door designs to be used on the Marathon:
    1. Outer Bulkhead Doors
    2. Airlock Doors
    3. Inner Bulkhead Doors
    4. Tertiary or Inner Sealed Non-Vacuum Safe Doors
    5. Quaternary or Inner Powered Automatic Opening Doors

    Direct control of all doors except the Tertiary and Quaternary
    doors will be given to Durandal with indirect control of all
    other doors going to Durandal.  The difference between direct
    and indirect control primarily has to do with the manner of
    opening the doors.  Durandal will only open a directly
    controlled door when he is specifically asked to do so.
    Indirectly controlled doors are automatically controlled by
    Durandal to open when needed.

    However, due to the expense involved with adding thermal and
    visual spectrum sensors to the Tertiary and Quaternary door
    groups, these doors will be minimally used.  The expected
    savings of not using this extra sensory input is estimated to
    be fifty-seven percent of the base cost of the basic inner
    bulkhead door.

    The types of doors are all basically the same with some slight
    variations.  The doors in classes 1 and 3 are the same doors
    classified separately to distinguish between the level of
    safety checking required to assure acceptable leakage.  The
    airlock doors are specifically modified to work with manual
    and remote activation switches.  Airlocks are all to be marked
    with a specific airlock symbol and to be outfitted with an air
    recharge system.

    The tertiary and quaternary doors are designed exactly as the
    bulkhead doors, but are checked coarsely for air leakage.

    This article as well as articles 530-f and 532-g on windows
    and elevators respectively will be placed for public access in
    the Marathon Internal Engineering Documents section 1-c
    appendix H.

    ***INCOMING MESSAGE FROM LEELA***

    The Marathon's automated defenses were disabled during the
    initial attack by a directed magnetic pulse.  The aliens used
    the same weapon to disable the Marathon's other two AIs,
    Durandal and Tycho, and to severely damage myself.

    Durandal is responsible for controlling the ship's autonomous
    functions: doors, life support, kitchens, air reprocessors,
    stairs, and so on.  Because he is non-functional, I am
    attempting to assume as many of these tasks as possible.
    Tycho controls the science and engineering network.

    Now that you are armed, our first priority is to reactivate
    the Marathon's defenses, under my control, so that we may
    offer some resistance to the aliens.  I have built three
    replacement circuit boards for the defense system, but cannot
    move them from the manufacturing center without assistance.

    I will now transport you to retrieve the replacement parts,
    and will give you further instructions when you arrive.

    Sorry to give you the bad news, but you've been kidnapped.
    You aren't where Leela wanted you to go, and you surely won't
    get there any time soon.

    I was watching what Leela was having you do: 'save the ship,
    save humanity!' How boring. How clichéd. You'll find this
    little visit to my playpen much more exciting.

    I have devised a little game for you to play: If you win, you
    go free, and we continue our relationship on friendlier terms.
    If you lose, you die.

    Good luck in our little game.  Unlike Leela, I give no hints.
    Do it on your own, or die trying...

    Insanely yours,
    Durandal

    You have finished the Marathon Demo. We hope that you
    found it challenging and enjoyable. Marathon is available in
    stores and mail order houses. The full game has forty levels,
    with more crazy computers and devious monsters. Check it out.

    Oh and by the way, Marathon and the Marathon Demo are
    networkable over LocalTalk or Ethernet. The Marathon Demo
    only allows two player network games and has only one network
    map. In the full game, you can play with up to eight people
    on a collection of ten different network levels. Play the
    network game. It rules. We're confident that Marathon is the
    world's best network game. No joke. No kidding.
