MAP06: Observation Station (Earth)

MAP06: Observation Station is the sixth map of Earth. It was designed by Roger Ritenour.

Secrets

 * 1) Enter the station and take the door to the east. Open the wall with the UAC logo to find a passage, and nearby are lots of supplies. (sector 295)
 * 2) Go all the way to the end of the passage mentioned in the previous secret. Where the green armor and backpack are, open the wall for a shortcut out. (sector 285)
 * 3) Head west from the previous secret to a room with lots of enemies. Go around the column in the northwest corner until you see a slimy wall. Open it to get a berserk pack, a box of shotgun shells, and a box of ammo. (sector 284)
 * 4) Open the red door and go east until you see the nukage pit. Hop in and under the wall to find another berserk pack and an energy cell. (sector 392)
 * 5) When you reach the hall with rockets on the east side, lower the window with the two medikits to find armor bonuses, a plasma gun, an energy cell, and shotgun shells. (sector 216)
 * 6) In the area that follows, stick to the west rocks and head north. Turn around to see a soul sphere. To reach it, hug the rocks until you can get up to the higher ones, then reach the soul sphere from there. (sector 172)
 * 7) After the canyon area, go down the steps, and as it bends, lower the north wall. You will find health bonuses, armor bonuses, and a box of ammo. (sector 126)
 * 8) Keep going down the steps mentioned above, and before the next set of steps, you can open a wall at the south end of the hall for a teleporter. This may take a few attempts, as the door may not open all the way, but when it does, you can reach the teleporter to the next secret. (sector 132)
 * 9) Enter the teleporter in Secret #8 to reach a plateau in the western part of the map, Go between the trees on the north side, and look for a crack in the rocks. Press the wall under it to lower another one nearby, with a passage that eventually leads outside. This area has some ammo and two health bonuses. (sector 13)

Bugs
A mancubus (Thing 414) in the northern monster cache has no flags set for any of the three difficulty classes, so it does not actually appear in the level.
