Scenario

In May 2011 an accident in a Soviet nuclear power plant situated on Koala island caused a major disaster. Radioactivity was spread over an area of 300 square miles with a radiation value of 1230000 rad. The Soviet Union and Finland were evacuated immediately. Months later terrifying mutations in the area were discovered where radiation had spread.

The only survivor tells us: \x93These creatures were beyond recognition, but seemed to possess the intelligence of mankind\x94. It is your mission to disarm the nuclear weapons before one of the mutations starts using them. Good luck. We place our trust in you.
