Title		: The Mystic Estate (to rob from...)
Filename	: The Mystic Estate.zip
Author		: "GORT" (Shaun M.D. Morin)
Contact info	: www.oonaglah@yahoo.com
Date of release	: N/A
Version		: 1.11 (Final)

Important Note:  Read the Description section to know the storyline.


Commentary Note	: Well, it took me quite a while to come up
with this mission.  At first it was called "The House that Karas
Built".  To me, that was stupid.  The house even wasn't made of metal!
I learned a lot about DromEd while making this mission.
For the people that played "The House that Karas Built", 
I hope you like this version.  Happy taffin' :-)

Description	: After a long night of foiling Karas'
plans, Garrett settles down for a couple of days.  
He then decides that he needs some more money for weapons
due to the fact that the Mechinists are still on his trail.  
Garrett thinks to himself... "They may be far, but they will 
soon find my house.  I guess I could go out for some souvenirs." 
As Garrett goes out for his usual strole of taffing, he then 
notices an interesting estate.  The house was rather big, 
almost surounded by trees (well at least at his point of view).
This made Garrett think to himself, "Hmmm, I'll bet this place 
has a few things that are worth having."  As Garrett aproaches, 
he notices that this place has a few combat bots patroling the 
estate.  This didn't bother him one bit.
As he looks around he then thinks, "This souldn't be too hard.  
After all, I did easly waultze right in the first bank's vault 
effortlessly. Then I backfired Karras' plan right in his taffin 
face.  But an even better example, I wrecked want-to-be god 
Constatine's plan to destroy mankind.  Comparing to all of that, 
this house should be a walk in the park."

But what will be instored for Garrett at this place? 
Play it to find out..."
