Description : This mission takes place around the start of Thief 2.

"Some days you just feel lucky. A local fence told me some homeless
guy stumbled on something very interesting. From the sound of it,
the bum found an entrance to a Keeper facility. Standard practice
for the Keepers would be to seal up the place after that, but I'm
hoping I might find some way in. I'd love a couple of hours inside
to catch up on old times, and maybe find put why the hell they're
so interested in me these days. "

LGS studios. At least most of them have cool jobs now. Way better than mine.
The pre-Beta-testers: David, Drom_Editor, camelhammer, and Saturnine too. :)
The final-Beta-testers: NightWalker, Buglesoft, sneak, and Howie.
Too many people from various forums to mention in this line. Thanks.
All custom object models were built with Anim8or, http://www.Anim8or.com.
Custom graphics were all done using Paint Shop Pro and Texture Maker, equally.
You, as usual. :)
