  You awaken to a loud sound. It sounded like a multiple blasts. It must be gunshots. You grab your MM9-3U and head out of the room to get to the source.
  You glance around, seeing your laptop, but you should identify and possibly kill the intruder.
  
  [Author's Note: In 2141, the polar ice caps began melting, causing most of the land on Earth to sink. Cities sank to the bottom of the ocean and people fled to high ground. In 2205, the polar ice caps show no change in terms of reappearing. It seems humans have caused too much global warming. You play as any other civilian in what was Colorado, the highest ground near your hometown. You must steal resources, get vehicles, and escape to one of the havens over the water where people seek refuge from the ever-growing water level.]
  
  > open Door
  You approach the door. You reach your holding hand over to the OPEN DOOR panel and it slowly opens. You sidestep as the door moves into your right wall. When it gets to the other side, you dash to the left wall, catching glimpse of no one in the hallway. You lean on the corner and look around it, looking for anyone. The coast is clear, so you decide to continue.
  To your left is the saferoom, which can only be opened with your password, 09G5HYJ. To your right is the bathroom. Across the corridor is your kitchen/dining room. All doors are closed, except for the kitchen, which has no door. Your main door is also closed.
  
  > go to kitchen/dining room
  You slowly and sliently walk over to the kitchen, nervous of the corners that obscure a small portion of the room, but that's big enough for a human to stand and wait for an enemy. You can lean to one wall and fire at the corner if the person is waiting there, but you might not get the right one, so if the intruder is there, you will be open for a shot.
  
  > Fire at the left corner
  You dash to the right wall and fire one bullet, but no one was there. You curse to yourself, expecting to be shot, but no one is there. You check the right corner, but no one is there. You turn around to see if they are behind you, then you look into the kitchen, but see nothing.

  > continue into the kitchen
  You slowly walk into the kitchen. You glance back to see if anyone is behind you. You return your sight to the kitchen, where there is a TV on a table infront of your dining table. There is one chair at the table. You see the kitchen. It is just an oven, microwave, and a sink with a few cupboards of some cooking ingrediants like flour and baking soda. You food is in the pantry. You don't have a refridgerator, so all you eat is dried food that isn't perishable. You actually have a quite luxurious home because your father inherited the family business. What money was invested he kept but said you could take if you needed it. You took some of it. There's still $300 or so invested. It was a rather small business. It was a grocery shop. Your father also let you take the stock and use it, but sparingly. Food was scarce and it was expencive. However this small home was only $200, $300 total for all of the luxuries like a computer, TV, bed, etc. Your TV only had a few channels. 3 News channels, 2 cartoon networks, and an advertising station. You don't really watch the cartoon networks because you dont have time for "entertainment".
  
  You find nothing here, excpet for some food, but that's it. Nothing of interest here. Plus, there's no other doors, so you decide to leave.
  
  You approach the door. You reach your holding hand over to the OPEN DOOR panel and it slowly opens. You sidestep as the door moves into your right wall. When it gets to the other side, you dash to the left wall, catching glimpse of no one in the hallway. You lean on the corner and look around it, looking for anyone.

  > check Main door
  You approach the main door, and read the panel. It says that no one has used this since 4 days ago. That's when I went to take a little more money out of the bank, which for the record, is run by computers so the bankers don't think about stealing it. The bank is protected by hundreds of Sentinels, a special machine that is similar to an android, but has less reactions and functions. Sentinels only focus on aiming, firing, and controlling their gun and saying to trespassers "Do not advance further. You are under arrest."
  There is a LOCK panel that is currently active. There is a panel on the right-hand side of the door that is the Diagonosis panel, that says one inhabitant. You are baffled, but then you realize the gun shots were fro outside. You glance around again, and then prepare to exit the house.
  You press the OPEN DOOR panel and the main door splits into two rather large segmants of door that retreat into the respective wall and you step through, with your MM9-3U ready to fire.
  
  > exit house
  You instantly hear gun shots and cries of pain. You hear them from far away, so you decide to investigate. As you approach, more gun shots, and cries but you still hear them from in front of you. It must be a band of marauders killing the residants of a home. There was a home in this direction from your house with a rather large family, who were pretty rich. These marauders definetly wanted the money.
  You finally see a small part of the house and the gun shots and cries are louder. You see a man with a MM9-3U looking around. Probably one of the marauders acting as guard. You decide to shoot him from a far distance, but you have to kill him in one shot. He might find you and fire at you.
  
  > Behind a bush
  You crouch behind one of the bushes that is in the scenery in front of the house. After looking for a good firing position--because you don't want the guard to see you after you have been rustling in the bush--you lay your gun down in between the branches. The guard looks around in your direction because he heard the rustling. You fire a few bursts at the guards head and he falls down, dropping his gun.
  
  > continue to the back of the house
  You glance back to see if any guards followed you, so you continue to the back. There are many marauders as you expected. They could all be defeated easily, however, with just a few bursts.
  
  > fire and dodge around this corner
  You immediatly start firing at the marauders, and one by one, three of them are dead before you need to reload. Only two more marauders. You finish reloading and tun to fire, when one marauder fires a burst of bullets at you. You turn back to the corner to dodge and turn back again to shoot one marauder in the stomach. The last marauder fires a round at you, but you dodge the round. When you return to your corner to reload, you are shot in the back by one of the marauders who was sent to find you in the first place. Well, they found you, and have wounded you. When you try to fire at them from the ground, you don't have the strength, so the other marauder fires a burst of bullets into your skull. You lay there, bleeding.
