Description           : "This is Really Starting to Piss Me Off"

                        The small space pod cut across the space lanes at 
			terrific speed, driling holes through anything that
			stood in it's path. It's skin glowed breifly as it dove
			through a nebula - The speed of its passage caused
			the hydrogen around it to flare off like a glowing
			wake. Inside, The single occupant sat and daydreamed 
			about when he would reach his destination.

			Our testosterone-charged, crew-cutted hero was on his 
                        way to some serious R&R with his babe, Lanie, when 
                        the call came in on the sub-space comm unit. "Ahhh, 
                        crap, what does that ass-hole want now?" he growled to 
                        himself as he flipped the switch.

                        "Duke, when I heard of this I immediately thought of 
                        you." tinnily wheedled the still pompous voice from 
                        the space ships's speaker grill.

                        "Next time, just send me some friggin' flowers." said 
                        Duke.

                        At least the voice tried to sound pained. "There is a 
                        small planet just East of your present course. Two of 
                        our best operatives reported strange life-forms under 
                        the surface of the planet.
 
                        "That was just before they were destroyed."

                        Duke's hold on the control grips tightened to the 
                        point where he was in serious danger of damaging 
                        Government property.

                        "You're tellin me you want me to pass on the finest 
                        female keister God has provided Man to go to some 
                        jack-shit rock on the edge of the Universe to play 
                        tag with yet more alien scum?"

                        After a pause that indicated that the voice was 
                        probably really pained this time, it said, "um, yes."
                        "Oh, one more thing, our operatives were flying the
                        Top Secret X-7092 experimental starship, it mustn't
                        fall into the hands of the aliens."

                        Duke sighed - it was like a hot blast from hell.
			"Well, I'll tell you what General, I'll put my 
                        liberty on hold. And I'll tell you why. Number one 
                        is that I don't let nobody from my planet take 
                        shit from no aliens."

                        "But this is the big one General," He took time out 
                        to light a cigar. briefly, the ships air processors 
                        protested - until Duke's fist found the speaker grill.

                        Duke's voice was now a menacing growl.
                        "I kicked those aliens asses once before and they 
                        didn't lay down and die.In my book that makes it 
                        personal. Once they felt my boot on thier butt. 
                        Now its going straight to the head!" 

                        Duke grabbed the controls and whipped the small 
                        craft towards the rocky world.

                        "My Granddaddy always said, 'Fool me once, shame on 
                        you, fool me twice, You're dead!"

                        Ignoring the shrill cries of the nav computer, Duke 
                        angled the ship to auger deep into the planet's 
                        atmosphere. The ship's cabin grew hazy, a combination 
                        of cigar smoke and overheated componets. The hull 
                        shook alarmingly, but Duke's only reaction was to 
                        swap his cigar from the right to the left side of 
                        his mouth. 

                        The set of his face had a meaning on hundreds of 
                        worlds. That meaning for alien scum everywhere 
                        could be generaly categorized as "Run!" 

                        "Sorry Lani, but a guy has to do what a guy has 
                        to do. And I am going to do un to those mothers like 
                        they have never been done unto before."

                        "Keep the bed warm Lani, I'll be back after lunch."

                        As Duke dodged immolation from both re-entry heating 
                        and the alien's planetary defence network, he 
                        belatedly realized that this ass-kicking session 
                        might just take all day...

Episode and Level #    : The Usual Suspects
Single Player          : Oh yes!
DukeMatch 2-8 Player   : Nooo, noooo, noooo...   ehhh....no!
Cooperative 2-8 Player : No, but I might issue another version later if
			 users demand it and I work out how to fit all
			 the start positions into the first sector.
Difficulty Settings    : Erm... Nawww!
Plutonium Pak Required : Of course! Atomic All The Way!
New Art                : Give us a break, this is my first level!
New Music              : No
New Sound Effects      : No
New .CON Files         : No
Demos Replaced         : No

=====================================================================

* Construction *

Base                   : New level from scratch.
Level Editor(s) Used   : BUILD (sigh).
Art Editor(s) Used     : No.
Construction Time      : Now you are asking. I started messing around
                         with some of the ideas in this when the Atomic
                         Edition came out! Really started this about 2
                         years ago. Total all-in construction time is
                         about 24 man-days. None of this speed-mapping
                         shite here!
Known Bugs             : Got rid of most of them. Sometimes the mini-boss
                         or other in-game sounds wipe out the sounds that I
                         have put in for Duke to say at certain times, but
                         such is Duke! Some doors are open when the player
			 reaches them, but that shouldn't kill gameplay.
			 Sometimes doors are open when they should be shut.

=====================================================================

*Important Information*

Installation           : Drop it into your Duke directory. Launch Duke 
                         with the command line option of:

                         Duke3d.exe -map whtrabit.map

                         I have tested this map with the latest Win32
                         port from www.rancidmeat.com go into the 'bin' 
			 directory and make a shortcut to the duke3d_w32.exe 
			 and then add the "-map whtrabit.map" (minus quotes)
                         after the program name in the 'target' window
                         under the shortcut tab in properties.

			 With the Jonof port, just make sure the map is
			 in the same directory as the port files and you
			 select it with the 'User Map' off the main menu.
                         

Important Notes        : This map is inspired by later shooters such as
                         'Half Life'. Sometimes you have a second option rather
                         just walking straight in and shooting. 

                         When you first start the game, you are NOT READY to
                         take on the miniboss. Follow the signs. You will 
                         meet him later!
