 Description             : Global warming and pollution have caused corrosive rain to fall 24 hours a day, 
			   365 days a year. Cities have been sealed off for health and convenience.

			   Some years after the time of Endless Rain, you are a drone living on "floor" 360,
			   the top of the Ohn Conglomorate residential tower (a subsidiary of Hondo Co). Each
			   floor of the tower is actually a self-contained multilevelled living area, containing
			   living quarters, hygenic facilities, a cafeteria, some common areas, and an atrium.
			   
			   Something in your floor hasn't been right lately. Ever since the fish vanished from
			   the aquarium, ever since the people in the lower apartments disappeared and the area 
			   was sealed off, ever since the energy rail station closed, ever since the central 
			   elevator core stopped accepting your access card. Now it's almost curfew time, but
			   you're not staying in tonight. Something's happened and they don't want anyone getting
			   in or out. If they come for you tonight, you'll not go without a fight.
			   
 Other Levels By Me      : Some levels for Quake 1, Quake 2, Block War for AQ2, many
			   for AHL (5am, Block War, Endless Rain, No Credit,
			   HDH, Cliff2 Snow).

 Additional Credits      : Loved ones, and people who bothered me enough about this map to make me realize
			   that someone still cared if I finished it.

* The secret *


First, some lore.

In 1998, Hondo-Co had broken through universal barriers and created a pocket of recognizable space in the center
of reality. Hgrethedelon, the one who sees all things and through his gaze creates order from chaos, was discovered.
Due to the possibly catastrophic nature of messing with things down there, research was taken at an extremely guarded
pace.

In 1999, local employees discovered a back door to this place and, in a moment of self defense, destroyed 
Hgrethedelon. Hondo-Co, fearing the universe slipping back into chaos, managed to create a new eye from steel and wire,
binding it to the flesh. The process of ordering reality takes millennia and has incredible momentum, but they found
that they could slightly influence things

In 2199, Hondo-Co runs most of the planet down to the domestic level. Hondo is by now long dead. He was always sad
from the way things turned out with the world, but lacked the will to change things himself. And so he left behind
the TIME SHED so that one day, someone would make things right. 


Now, some other information.

The secret can be entirely done alone, but may be faster with more people. It's got some pretty horrible systems 
of entities, and should be quite solid, but in multiplayer in a lagged situation, there's always the possiblity of 
things breaking down. But I've tested it with people enough to be confident in everything. Getting in requires a 
very obscure task, so here's a sentence to read!

"Swimming had made Edward tired, so he sat down to rest."
