It is an Avar law that all infantry have a parent present when making these. Now for a list of ingredients: 1/2 c lard, 1/2 c butter, 21/2 c sugar, 3/4 c brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 3/4 bag of chocolate chips, and last but not least... 4 tsp of Love. First, mix the lard and the butter. Get them creamy. Now mix in half of the flour, the brown sugar, sugar, eggs, vanilla and baking soda. Mix well, then add the rest of the flour. We all know I love chocolate, so I add all the chocolate chips. It is up to you if you want to use less. Lastly, bake at 375 [Fahreneit] degrees for 8 to 10 minutes and enjoy! Join us next week when we will be making the executioner's delicious egg salad. Goodbye."

Area 13
Communication: "I see that you have found the prison. This is where they keep all prisoners of war. Commander Joe must be close by."

Tap: ''"Sir, it appears as if Private Redmer is lost again. He says he cannot remember where the hidden door is." "Ugh! Not again! This is his eighth time getting lost down here. Tell him it is behind one of the..."''

Boss: "Welcome. I have been eagerly awaiting your arrival. You are skilled in the art of war. It will be quite a pleasure watching you die."

Super Joe: ''"Congratulations, Rad! I was worried that the hooded clown was the last person I was going to see. We can catch up later, but Arturus will complete the repairs to the Albatross soon if we do not hurry." "What is the Albatross project anyway?" "Centuries ago our world was threatened by annihilation from an alien race. To protect ourselves, all countries united to produce a weapon of unstoppable power. They were successful in producing the weapon. The only problem was that once the alien threat was abolished, the question of who should possess the Albatross Project remained. The Karinian leaders decided that it would be best to dismantle this doomsday machine and bury it deep underground, in hopes that no one would find it." "How do I stop the Albatross?" "Arturus has two facilities dedicated to the completion of the Albatross. One is a fuel depot, and the other one is a power station. Arturus has both these facilities hidden deep within ancient structures. If you destroy both facilities, then Arturus will not be able to complete the Albatross. I will head back to the Command Center and debrief them. I will meet with you once you are done with your mission."''

Area 13 complete! You now have the Rapid Fire Device. The Rapid Fire Device fires three projectiles at once.

Arturus: "The fuel room has become unstable! Everyone get out of the base!"

Area 14 complete! You now have the Flamethrower. The Flamethrower blazes through all of your foes!

Area 15
Communication: "Rad, the Albatross is using a generator to re-energize its power cells. If you can destroy the reactor core, then we may be able to cut off its energy supply."

Tap: "The Elite Forces may have come this far, but I have discovered the true power of the Albatross. Those fools will pay with their lives."

Boss: "Here comes the intruder! Omega Platoon, attack!"

Area 15 complete! You now have the Body Armor! The Body Armor will protect you from three points of damage.

Area 18
Arturos: "This is a message to the arrogant Commandos! You are too late. Your attempts at stopping me are futile. I have managed to get the Albatross online. Now watch as I destroy you." General: "We have detected the Albatross! It is on the way to Karinia! Rad, you must stop Arturus once and for all."

Boss (Arturos): "Well, well, well, if it is not one of the Elite Forces. I was once in your shoes, being told what to think and say, but then I discovered something that they were hiding. I stumbled upon an old manuscript that told of a weapon of enormous strength. This weapon actually was not made, but fell from the sky. Apparently it was a wrecked space vessel, and he who controlled the space vessel had the power to morph into a being of sheer terror. That is the reason the Albatross was buried, so that one man would not have indescribable powers, but now I have control and you shall be the first to witness the true power of the Albatross."
