Description : This level is a tribute to the first movie "ALIEN".
In the movie capt Ripley activates the self-destruction system and then escapes in a pod.
In my map the self-destruction system failes and Duke has to board Nostromo to finish off what Ripley started...
I've tried to keep my building closely to the real ship.
Of course, I've taken a few liberties here and there but...
The level might appear as a long journey through corridors and doors for some.
But hey, if you've seen the movie you'll know why...
This is not a level brimmed with aliens. It's more like an adventure/puzzle styled map.

COMPANY LOG: 08:25 hours
-We've approached the NOSTROMO, we are coming up behind the ship.
Our sensors indicate the ships functions are still within operating specs.
The crew is very excited, a ship this size with it's cargo intact will be
worth millions to us.
I still feel uneasy about her, a faint shadow passes before my eyes when
I think of her journey. What a strange shape.
I must access her computer, I suspect she has a secret to whisper.
In order to do that we must go onboard, we must know if there's
anyone onboard if we're to claim salvage rights, but she's still
under her own power.
We're trying to decide whether we should try to compute her course
and follow, or try and board her.-
