 Author's Note
****************

This was originally started as an entry into the 20X20X20 challenge contest, 
procrastination has meant it obviously didn't get finished in time. Additionally
I ended up running into the trigger-limit right before building the final area, 
requiring the level to be split in two. The first level still does fit within 
20X20X20 squares, and the second level could've fit in it too.

Ammo is limited, so be careful not to waste any! Some specific kinds of ammunition
May be required for progression as well, so don't go too crazy when you find something
powerful! As usual, both crawlspace rolls are enable. Sometimes items dropped by 
enemies may become embedded in objects, crouching should allow you to pick them up.

  PLOT
********

 Queen Victoria of England was once said to posses a necklace adorned with a gem,
called the Victoria Stone. Rumors swirled about its origin and its purpose.
Some say it's a stone of great magical power, others say it is the key to
a great technology. Alas, no records of its origins, paintings of its likeness
or knowledge of its location survived to this day; and the stone faded to myth
and myth to legend.

 Most tales of the stone come from an Italian cult who worship it as a holy artifact.
Little is known about the religion except that they worship a diety know only as the "madam".
They are said to have the ability to summon her, with certain runes and artifacts present.
Usually magical trinkets or personal belongings of hers, such as a mask. They, the 
cultists insist the Victoria stone rightly belonged to their ruler, Madam. 
They believe it holds magic powers, and was her most prized possesion, folklore 
states that the stone lets them summon her at her maximum power, and in a much easier
 ritual even when at a sizeable distance from the stone.

 Recently a team of archeologists believed they had found a hidden chamber hidden under a
residential complex in England, belonging to none other than Queen Victoria herself. A
tomb of sorts, some would say. Soon after though, a sect of the Italian cult arrived
on the scene, and slaughtered the archeologists and residents alike whilst looking
for the stone. The massacre mortified the country, the British government quickly 
dispatched the SAS to handle the problem. They were no match however for the female
assassins and were quickly cut down.

 At a loss, they hired an American Military Contractor to deal with the situation. 
That contractor was none other than Von Croy Industries. The British Government was
completely un-aware of the stones discovery, Von Croy however was more well informed.
Whether the stone was a key to unlock some mythical machinery, magic artifact of great 
power or just a priceless piece of jewelry Von Croy was enticed by it, and would 
go to any means to obtain it, whatever its nature. Werner had the entire area put 
under military quarantine and led the government to believe the threat was much greater
than it apeared. Von Croy easily had the military might to squash the cult quickly and 
efficiently, but instead only incited a few small skirmishes to distract the Government.

With the quarantine preventing any interferance and the skirmishes preventing the
arousal of peoples suspicion Werner Von Croy prepared to harvest the stone. He even
brought in the crown jewel of his aircraft fleet; A flying fortress supposedly 
outfitted with a powerful laser capable of tearing a hole fifty feet into the ground.
What Von Croy didn't count on however, was our Miss Lara Crofts' inability to sit still
 With a shiny obj- priceless artifact up for grabs. Lara quickly charterd a helicopter 
into the quarantined zone. As we all know Lara was never quite fond of helicopter pilots
 and failed to mention the resistace that would be encountered on this venture. 
Thus when one of the combatants shot a rocket towards them miss Croft swiftly grabbed the 
only parachute and lept from the aircraft, leaving the pilot to his fate and starting her 
search for the Victoria Stone in the bloodied street.
