Description: This is my first completed FM, the level is a large Mechanist
based mission. The story takes place a while after Thief 2.


Briefing: Living in the city has become somewhat difficult since the death of
Karras. The Mechanists know who killed him and have been trying everything in
their power to kill me. But I was in the city before the Mechanists were formed
and I'll make sure I'm here after them as well.

The Mechanists have a newly built seminary in the New Market district. It stands
on the grounds where an old Hammerite temple used to stand, which mysteriously
"fell" into the ground about a year ago. Rumour has it that when the Hammerites
went to investigate what had happened the Mechanists had already sealed off the
area.

But knowing the Mechanists i doubt very much that this was just an accident.
so ill be entering the grounds of the seminary later tonight to investigate
what is happening there.

I've managed to contact the Hammers and they are very interested in what might be
happening in the New Market seminary. In return for my services they've provided
me with a map of the seminary from a disloyal Mechanist, which should prove
useful for navigating the grounds and an easy time from the order in the future.

I'll make my way into the complex over the back wall as it should draw the least
attention. I'm going to have to be careful, the Mechanists have been after me
for some while and now I'm entering their back yard.

When I'm done, I'll need to get to the streets to the east of the seminary to get
to a meeting with a Hammerite priest. Whatever I manage to find, hopefully it'll
be enough to get the Mechanists into some serious trouble in the city.
