Story (TAKEN FROM THE SP VERSION)
You are Gordon Freeman, one of the few survives of the Black Mesa disaster. It has been a few weeks since that tragic event, but you now find yourself under "mysterious" employment. The Gman and his employer were happy with your past performance, but still want to keep you on the top of your game. You have been flung into your first training mission!
Mission Statement:
A VERY valuable employee of mister Gman has been kidnapped. It will be your job to rescue him from his captures. The terrorist have taken the scientist prisoner in his own home. They are ready for a rescue, so stealth my be your best weapon. Remember that this scientist is needed ALIVE, but his captures are willing to kill him, be careful!
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Rescue the Doctor AND escort him back to the insertion point.
Note: This is a "training" mission, but it will seem very real.

Authors Note:
HostageD is a SP map converted to a DM map, it wasn't indented to be a DM map. This is why some of the essential elements such as connectivity, game flow and strategy are non-existence. In fact the item placement is little more than weapons scatter around. Although the map was made for SP it still can be a really fun DM map! I STRONGLY suggest you play the SP version (Hostage) before downloading the HostageD (DM). It is hard to explain except that, I think you will enjoy HostageD even more after you have struggle with Hostage :) ... Have fun!
Special note! One of the weapons is in a "secret" location. The only hint I will give is "It is good to have friends in high places".
