Extended description:
--------------------
Bio-Detox is an old biorifle ammunition detoxification facility built by the Liandri Corporation that has been converted into a 
venue for the new round of competitions.  Excess biorifle ammunition is created for each competition, however due to its
limited shelf-life and reactivity with oxygen it becomes quite unstable and must be broken down into environmentally safe
products through a series of chemical distillations in this facility.  The large boiler heats the disposed ammo along with
chemicals for neutralization.  The heated material is pumped underground to the water-cooled pressure chamber for steam distillation
and then removed from the facility.  Numerous ventilation ducts keep fresh air in the facility to keep a toxic green
gas from accumulating in the plant. Catwalks and observaton decks are present for monitoring the detoxification progress as well
as fuel tanks for powering the boiler.

Author's Notes
--------------
Bio-detox is designed for DM/TDM play.  I attempted to focus on gameplay first and aesthetics second often using
meshes to help assist in getting to hard to reach items or places.  The more powerful weapons are placed strategically
either out of the way or in hard to get places with some challenge or danger in obtaining them.  The same goes for
the power-up locations.  Spawn points are numerous and have some weapon nearby.  Bot pathing was the most difficult
part of the map, but FINALLY the bots seem to do move about the entire map and can get to all critical items and
powerups.  The Redeemer was not included intentionally as I felt it was too powerful for this map.  I tried to minimize
the number of deadends and turnarounds and create rooms with multiple levels for some z-action fighting.  My largest
complaint in the level was my poor understanding of brushes in my initial design and the rooms are somewhat squarish.
I hope to improve this in my next map.
