Depending on which terminal you took to get to this level you are either thinking  "What the fuck is going on?"  or  "Ok I am looking for the S'pht AI" . Confused? There go back here and think about it!

There are a total of nine terminals (0-8) on this level. You can see their in-game order on this in-game map. All but one (Terminal 4) are intralevel teleport terminals. The exit is not a terminal but a S'pht teleport pad shown in  Terminal 5  and  Terminal 8 .

Find out how the Long Views were achieved on this level. This was featured in Hastur's Workshop.

Some of the terminal images on this level contain legacy Marathon 2 textures. Find out more about this on the Textures section.


Son of Grendel (Terminal 0)

This is an intralevel teleport terminal.  It takes you from here to here.

The first image in the terminal message shows you the location of a secret area and how to access it.

The second image shows a map of this level with terminal locations. However not all the locations are shown and may reflect an earlier version of this level.
