*** BACKGROUND ***

- In the panic after the fallout the blast doors to
the nuclear bunker were sealed. There is, however,
the possibility of entering the bunker via the
main air shaft in one of the secondary ventilation
plants. You must fight your way to the lowest
point of the shaft and leap down it. Otherwise you
will perish from radiation sickness. Go, now.
