You're a marine, one of Earth's toughest, hardened in combat and trained for action. Three years ago you assaulted a superior officer for
ordering his soldiers to fire upon civilians. He and his body cast were shipped to Pearl Harbor, while you were transfered to Mars, home of the Union
Aerospace Corperation. The UAC is a multi-planetary conglomerate with radioactive waste facilities on Mars and its two moons, Phobos and Deimos. With
no action for fifty million miles, your day consisted of suckin' dust and watchin' restricted flicks in the rec room.
For the last four years the militaty, UAC's biggest supplier, has used the remote facilities on Phobos and Deimos to conduct varios secret projects,
including reaserch on inter-dimensional travel. So far they have been able to open gateways between Phobos and Deimos, throwing a few gadgets into one
and watching them come out the other. Recently however, the Gateways have grown dangerously unstable. Military "volunteers" entering them have
either disappeared or been stricken with a strange form of insanity - babbleing vulgarities, bludgeoning anything that breathes, and finally suffering
an untimely death of full-body explosion. Matching heads with torsos to send home to the folks became a full-time job. Latest military reports state
that the reserch is suffering a small set-back, but everything is under control.
A few hours ago, Mars recieved a garbled message from Phobos. "We require immediate military support. Something fraggin' evil is coming out of
the Gateways! Computer systems have gone berserk!" The rest was incoherent. Soon afterwards, Deimos simply vanished from the sky. Since then,
attempts to establish contact with either moon have been unsuccessful.You and your buddies, the only combat troop for fifty million miles were sent up
pronto to Phobos. You were ordered to secure the perimeter of the base while the rest of the team went inside. For several hours, your radio picked up
the sounds of combat: guns firing, men yelling orders, screams, bones cracking, then finally, silence. Seems your buddies are dead.
It's Up To You
Things aren't looking too good. You'll never navigate off the planet on your own. Plus, all the heavy weapons have been taken by the assault
team leaving you with only a pistol. If only you could get your hands around a plasma rifle or even a shotgun you could take a few down on your way
out. Whatever killed your buddies deserves a couple of pellets in the forehead. Securing your helmet, you exit the landing pod. Hopefully you can find
more substantial firepower somewhere within the station.
As you walk through the main entrance to the base, you hear animal-like growls echoing throughout the distant corridors. They know you're here.
There's no turning back now.

Hell on Earth
You can feel it. It's all starting again, just like on Mars. First, people are taken over, turned into cannibal Things. Then the real horror starts,
the deformed monstrosities from Outside. But now it's on Earth!
The invasion is spreading
It turns out that the invaders are all over. Monsters range from Tokyo to Timbuktu, from Stockholm to Scranton. Billions are dead. Some people have
been transformed into flesh-eating mutants, but a few, a very few, are still alive and fully human. The wise men of humanity have evolved a plan to
save what's left of the human race. They have built enormous ships to carry the remaining people into space, safely away from the ruined world.
Escaping Earth
Unfortunately, Earth's only ground spaceport has just been taken over by the demons. They've instituted a sort of force field -- a flame barrier --
over the port; no ships can land or take off. You gotta go back into action. The pathetic remnants of Earth's soldiers are making an assault on the
invaders at the spaceport. If you win, you might be able to turn off the barrier, so that the ships can leave, and Homo sapiens may not go extinct
just yet. If you lose, that's it. Humanity is history.
Phobos (Ancient Greek "Fear") is the personification of terror and horror in Greek mythology.
tell me more..I defintinetly see some sort of glyphs but not the one you supplied
maybe I'll work on one of my own and trace what I'm seeing! cool pic!
they already have a series of novel about the doom games i think theres four or five i own them and theyre a good read. the first is knee deep in the
dead by dafydd ab hugh and brad linaweaver. actually the second book there even is a forcefield over L.A. but they story line is quite similar. ide
definitely recomend reeding them if you like science fiction horror book and are a doom fan.
You gotta cross your eyes a bit .....and the whole thing is like bent/warped/eroded. Anyway I think DOOM was another way of telling the story of
our unsung heroes fighting wars against demonic monstrosities off-planet.
Here... PROOF! Here is a picture from spirit of 2 out of 3 guys in this fireteam. You see a guy in the prone on the lower right. That is not a rifle,
it is an em weapon with a dust cover WITH THE SAME COLOR RUBBER AS THE SPIRIT ROVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can take the image and turn up the brightness and contrast 'n stuff.
Then you will see the distorted lines....I tried plenty of glyphs but this one fit... the seal of the necrinomicon....a combination of three seals.

You do know that the Necronomicon is fictional yeah? So even if you found references to it in Doom...they are references to a fictional book of the
dead!
I do admire your imagination and thoroughness though.
Perhaps I'll review it after I've smoked a few bongs
Yeah "Fictional" just like countless sci-fi novels that "came true" ...Maybe people nowadays are not born with the ability to read between
the lines. C'MON... This is ATS, people should be speculating. You want me to spell everything out for you. If it was that simple you think this
multi-layered scheme could hold water in your mass perception? someone could put 2 and 2 together and make a constructive comment.....
