I believe that it probably is an "in" reference to Wolfenstein 3-d. Don't the pentagrams, upside-down crosses, violence, etcetera, bother you as well? If not, what is different? OK, the DOOM teleporter project probably doesn't have much to do with Nazism, but about 10 seconds of bad Star Trek physics could justify it. Phobos base is an evil place, with lots and lots of nasty shit in it. I think that swastikas are nasty enough shit to qualify as appropriate decor. andy -- Andrew Hilmer -- hil...@storm.cs.orst.edu Quis custodiet | Who watches /// "Freemasons run the country!!" ipsos custodes | the watchmen? /// --Smithers' germs, _The Simpsons_
