Secrets

 * 1) In the crate room just before the giant vats, run across the caution stripes above the steps and through the vent for a chainsaw. (sector 62)
 * 2) Near the red key, there should be an open alcove with shotgun shells and two stimpacks. (sector 128)
 * 3) After opening the blue door, open the green wall near the crates for a soul sphere and armor bonuses. (sector 229)
 * 4) In the shaft to the far north of the map, there is a dead marine in a square. Look out for the crusher here, and open the wall behind the corpse for a partial invisibility. (sector 539)
 * 5) In the big room with Secret #3, go onto the ledge with computer panels and clamber onto the highest crate. From there, jump southeast onto the ridge overlooking the ground below, and then onto the crates there for a BFG9000. (sector 573)
 * 6) In the room with the switch that opens the vent leading outside to the nukage-filled area, press the backside switch here to open the other vent, leading to a radiation suit. (sector 575)
