* Credits *
=============================================================
This mission is a very heavily modified version of 
ThiefGold's Mission11 "Return To the Cathedral".

The auto-map files shipped with this mission are based on
LGS files which were shipped with ThiefGold.

The custom textures were produced by extracting 
the mechanist symbol from "StainGlass\StainMec.PCX" and 
superimposing it on "Core_1\Gstone1.PCX" and "Core_1\Gstone2.PCX".

The sound files "Crickets1.wav" ... "Crickets6.wav" are 
identical copies of the original LGS file "Crickets7.wav".

The ingame texts for the German version were translated by Ar-Zimrathon.

* Thanks To *
=============================================================
All the people on the Thief forums who have supported 
us FM authors during the last few years.

A big thank you to all my beta tester, especially:
Nightwalker, SlyFoxx, Huntress, BrokenArts, theBlackman,
Ar-Zimrathon, and Raven.

Special thanks to my wife and to our creator.
