* To destroy the sea monster shoot it repeatedly inside its mouth.


SECOND PART
===========

Inside the submarine

-AIM    : To set a bomb at the base of the reactor and escape alive.
          In order to escape you will have to stop the submarine,
          make it emerge and transmit the key message to your base.
-ENEMIES: [illustration]
          CAPTAIN
          His code allows you to perform one time the function of
          each and any of the officials.
          [illustration]
          FIRST OFFICIAL
          His code allows you to stop the motors and emerge.
          [illustration]
          FIRST AND SECOND MACHINE OFFICIALS
          With their codes you can open the door to the base of the reactor.
          [illustration]
          FIRST AND SECOND TRANSMISSION OFFICIALS
          Their codes allow you to transmit the codified message
          to your base.
          [illustration]
          MARINES
          Equipped with an N-32 rifle. They can carry a bullet loader.
          [illustration]
          FLAMETHROWER MARINES
          Equipped with a flamethrower. They carry two loaders,
          one with bullets and one with gasoline.

To perform any function you have to connect with the central
computer of the submarine through any of the terminals
within. You also need to know the identification code of the
Official in charge of the area related to the order you want
to send. E.g.: to open the door to the base of the reactor you
must obtain The Machine Official's code and then transmit
the order to the central computer.

To obtain the codes, locate the Official, shoot him and
search him.

END OF MISSION

Once the bomb has been set, the motors inactive and
the submarine on the surface, you must transmit the
word <<BOMB READY>> to your base.
In order that the enemy can't detect it you must codify
it in this way:
		OABERBYAMD
When you have communicated the success of your mission,
go up to the control tower and wait for your colleague
to rescue you.
