▒ This demo/intro has been more than a year in the making, and it's only      ▓
▒ now, after the group has fallen apart, that it has finally been released.   ▀
░ The code department broke down during mid production, and the whole deal
░ was on a stand still.  Luckily we got our act together just recently, but   ░
  we still have a very buggy demo on our hands.  Nevertheless, we'll get it   ░
  out now, and never worry about it again.                                    ▒

▒ Before we go onto details about the demo, we should mention what is         ░
░ happening to the group itself from here.  Hunz and Squidgalator ][ have
░ already found a welcoming home in the demo group Heretics, so you can see   ░
  their future work being employed in various Heretics releases.  CaLiban     ░
░ will most likely join the Australian music group which is being toyed with  ░
░ at the moment.  Maeve Wolf will pursue her ansi art career, with an emag    ▒
░ called Ooze in the works, and also a group by the name of Adhoc.  Narq and  ▒
▒ Rodent will probably finish of their course at University and forget all    ▓
▓ about the Demoscene.  Jud will just keep on eating...                       █
