Tiny update added another section and deleted tiny bits and pieces ---------------------------------------- Legal Notice ---------------------------------------- This is a guide/walkthrough for the vehicles and weapons of Grand Theft Auto Vice City Rockstar Games /Rockstar North 2002 all rights reserved.

Ok now that’s outta the way onto the introduction… ---------------------------------------- Introduction ---------------------------------------- Hey my “cyber name” is SausageRollShady2003 (bo_selecta). I have never attempted any type of guide, walkthrough or FAQ before and yeah go ahead and laugh at the title art (as if you need telling ) it’s my first attempt at that as well. I haven’t gone way out on detail or anything I just want to provide an informative database and hopefully humorous view at the fatal weapons, fly cars, fast choppers, cool planes, and the (sometimes) glamorous boats of GTA Vice City. Oh yeah and there will be some references some Americans may not understand as being British there may be parts of my culture that are different that goes to all non Brits reading this guide also. Now it’s onto what the guide is for, does and doesn’t do… ------------------------------------------------- What this guide is for ------------------------------------------------- This guide is here to give you a look at the two major elements in the crime empire of Florida that is Vice City. I mean, who doesn’t like to turn into a Bruce Willis or Arnold S (you know who I mean I just can’t spell it…) or Mel Gibson and be the hero with a gun to blow a hole straight through the centre of the earth. And name me one person who doesn’t like to pull up in a low gleaming sports car. This guide is for just checking up on a view on the weapon car and I might even add in the odd location parking spawn. Also it gives an unbiased view on Is it cool?, The speed, the cornering and the handling and much more for vehicles plus for weapons a location guide and who to kill for one. Plus an overall comment for both weapons and vehicles and a features/special notes section for vehicles if the vehicle has any. Now onto what this guide does… ------------------------------------------------ What this guide does ------------------------------------------------ On a different subject by now you probably have read this much and skipped onto one of the databases but it will be helpful if you read this and the next section to avoid disappointment. And also here for you that are still hooked to my writing I’ll carry on anyway… This guide: Gives a personal view on all the cars, boats, choppers, planes and weapons of Vice City Adds the occasional parking spot or weapon spawn or location for the vehicles and weapons Gives you an intro to the type of weapon and type of vehicle. Gives you uses for the weapon or vehicle Gives missions where the weapon/vehicle is involved Tells you any special features or notes about the weapon/ vehicle Gives an FAQ on vehicles and weapons Ok now onto what this guide doesn’t do… ------------------------------------------------ What this guide doesn’t do ------------------------------------------------ Ok this guide does a lot for your gaming experience but unfortunately there are some things it doesn’t do or in some cases thankfully doesn‘t do… Give top speeds and such information Yatter on Ok it’s time for the guide to how I rate the weapons and vehicles… ---------------------------------------------- Weapons and Vehicles Ratings Guide ---------------------------------------------- Ok I have done a little mini section for all the weapons and vehicles in the game and rated them like this…: Vehicles Coolness : This describes whether it’s cool whether you’d look good in it for example if I’m rating the Infernus its gonna be showered with praise but if I was rating a Faggio it’s be a lot different Speed : Well it’s kinda obvious isn’t it? How fast this thing is so again the Infernus would be drooled on but this can’t be said for the Rhino Tank… Handling: Whether or not you can keep good control over it and how easy it is to drive. So the Rhino may be a bit on the slow side but due to that it is easy to drive. Whereas as much fun as it is to drive the Sanchez Dirtbike if it gets to fast can fly out of control easily and cause major hurt. But there are some exceptions such as the Banshee which flies down the highways but can still be driven smoothly Cornering : On a getaway? Tight corner coming up? Your worst nightmare with a three star wanted level on your back is a crash because your car couldn’t take a certain corner…The ability to take a corner is important when choosing your car so I tell you what to pick when it comes to making a swift getaway. Colours : If it comes in a certain colour I’ll tell ya it but most cars come in many colours Description : What it looks like…. Specific locations : I’ll tell you parking locations and general places where you’ll find the car roaming around. This is helpful if you need to find a car for the Sunshine Auto’s boostings lists. Special Features/Odd Jobs (see Odd Job cars): What does it do that makes it unique or maybe just a general um…something about it/What odd job it triggers. Comment : My personal view put into a short sweet sentence. For weapons Coolness : First a colt 45 then you get the chainsaw….get the picture… Is it common? If it’s a colt 45 its all over the place if it’s a rocket launcher that changes somewhat…. Usual Purpose : What it would do in a non Vice City world…like a golf club would be used to play golf but in Vice City you’re more likely to give someone brain damage… Location : Some nice locations for them where after a certain amount of time (I.e after a mission is passed) you can go back and get them again. Who carries them : A basic overview of who’s got them Kill Rate : Another kind of obvious one e.g A colt 45 you could blast rounds at a strong thug until its empty whereas take out a flamethrower and depending on range things can be a whole lot different…. Comment : Just like for the Vehicle comment except for the weapon Now the moment you’ve all been waiting for …the databases…. ------------------------------------- Weapons of Vice City Intro ------------------------------------- Ah weapons the King of Crime..there is a huge variety of weapons available to use in Vice City all of them can kill some of them instantly (even tear gas if you stand in it for too long) others take a few of whatever they have be it grenades, bottle bombs, pistols, flamethrowers, machine guns or even your own hands there’s something to kill everyone even yourself (no horrors of horrors you can get hurt in this game) anyway onto those weapons… NOTE : Psy II has created a great weapons guide. ------------------------------------ Weapons of Vice City ------------------------------------ Ok there is gonna be a lot of sub sections hold your breath here it comes my fist weapon review… >>>>>>Slot 1<<<<<< CAMERAS Ahhh cameras used to take pictures of almost anything and I guess you’re wondering what in the blue hell they’re gonna have to do with a GTA game well I’ll tell ya… @@@The Camera@@@ Coolness : Well as a matter of fact It’s a camera to take photos to save the Porn business so it’s gotta be pretty cool Is it common? : Hell nooooo you can only get it for one mission and that’s the only time you’ll be in possession of it Usual purpsose : For taking photos …which is what you do with this one so not much to say….. Location : You get this from Steve Scott (porn film director) in a cut scene and I repeat that is the only place you can get one Who carries them : Only you really…some of the pedestrians have them on their neck but they don’t use them. Kill Rate : It couldn’t hurt a fly unless it flew inside and then…anyway I said I wouldn’t yatter on…it cant kill anyone it just takes pictures for gods sakes! Comments : Well its good for keeping the “Dirty Movie” business alive which is good enough I suppose… >>>>>>Slot 2<<<<<< FISTS The good ole’ hands and feet they have so many uses you don’t have to be a brain surgeon to work out what they’re gonna do in this game… @@@Fists/Feet/Head butt@@@ Coolness : Bare knuckle fighting like the beginning of Fight Club was pretty cool and a head butt looks alright but there’s cooler weapons out there Is it common : Well there on the end of your arms/legs/neck so common is a kinda understatement…. Usual Purpose : Well there’s too many to mention…but a lot of people use them for the purpose our friend Tommy does… Location : Well there on the end of your arms/legs/neck …. Who carries them : Everyone that’s human does ! Well Phil Cassidy loses a hand later on in the game but apart from that…everyone else seems to Kill Rate : Well a few hits will take down the usual common pedestrian but unless you’re really stupid take armed thugs out with a gun… Comments : These are ok if theres no chance you can get your hands on a gun and cause the least fuss if you’re mugging a usual pedestrian @@@Brass Knuckles@@@ Coolness : These look cool when you walk into an area when you’re not meant to be a criminal mastermind plus have a certain edge over the unarmed fist Is it common : I haven’t seen them much there’s a set behind your main hideout (the hotel) but I haven’t found them anywhere else. Usual Purpose : Well what else are you likely to use brass knuckles for…I think Tommy uses them for the same purpose that anyone else that owns them does. Location : As I said I’ve said I have so far only found them behind the Ocean View hotel Who carries them : As far as I know only the bouncers at The Malibu NightClub carry them and I only know that cuz I went on a sorta killing spree…involving a remote grenade, The Village People and dance floor full of people…. Kill Rate : Well basically just a couple of hits less then your fists which helps for quick muggings when the cops are near ya and you want a bit of quick cash. Comments : These are pretty cool for punching and you keep these throughout the game and you don’t have to worry about finding a better weapon for the Fists slot because there isn’t one !!! These can be used best in the fist fight in the “Back Alley Brawl” mission for Ken >>>>>>SLOT 3<<<<<< MELEE Melee weapons. As the name suggests they are here to cause some damage these particular weapons can be turned from household items into implements of torture. In Vice City they come in the forms of screwdrivers to meat cleavers to chainsaws. @@@Screw Driver@@@ Coolness : You just don’t look cool killing someone with screw driver do you? Enough said. Is it common? : Pretty much…You can’t find them lying around but they’re in all the Hardware stores and from the beginning you can get them from “Bunch of Tools” in Washington Beach and “Tooled Up” in the North Point Mall and then when you access the West Island you can get them from “Screw This” in Little Havana. Usual Purpose : Screwing in and taking out screws and nails but in Vice City you can “screw” a hole in someones head… Location : Im sorta regretting puttng all the store info in the Is it common section? As I said you can’t find them lying around but see the Is it common? Section for info on the store locations where you can buy them for $10 Who carries them : If you buy them you do! I haven’t seen anyone else that carries around screwdrivers though. Kill Rate : A lot quicker than fists even with brass knuckles but still only should only be used if you’re desperate Comments : A big impovement on the previous weapons but still not something you should use for missions except maybe in “Jury Fury” for Ken which a hammer would still be better. @@@Golf Club@@@ Coolness : Not that awesome but they look preety neat when taking out old rich golfer dudes with them. Is it Common : No not really, can only be found in the Leaf Links Golf Course/Country Club Usual Purpose : No offence, but the golf part in the name really gives it away it’s usually used for swinging a ball or two onto the green from the fairway. Tommy doesn’t make use of them that way though… Location : Next to the steps after you go through the metal detector at Leaf Links and if you enter a caddy with an empty melee weapon slot then you get one. Who carries them : Well the Golfer Gang (they are a gang kill enough and they appear on the least favourite gang section on your stats) carry them they are old people and drop them if you kill one of the gang beware though their other gang members attack if you attack one of them. Kill Rate : Yet again another improvement but still only a weapon if your outta ammo Comments : Another improvement on the latter but still only a weapon if you are desperate. @@@Hammer@@@ Coolness : Yet another case of well…you just don’t look good putting someones head in with a hammer maybe if it was a sledgehammer but noooo…it’s just a regular hammer…. Is it common : You betcha they’re all over the place Usual Purpose : You usually hit in nails and such with a hammer but in this situation you hit in dents in someones head… Location : Kill a builder and they drop these in the “the fastest boat” mission or Ricardo Diaz the workers in the boathouse drop them and you can buy them from all hardware stores (for locations check the Is it common? Section for the screw driver Who carries them : See above Kill Rate : Quicker than the previous but still only a desperation weapon… Comments : A good all round melee weapon better for smashing cars than people. Used in the Ken Rosenberg mission “Jury Fury” @@@Night Stick@@@ Coolness : The cops carry them so with the established thugs of Vice City they aint gonna be to popular are they against pedestrians with a cop outfit on and you go hit one it looks pretty funny but that’s about it… Is it common : Not really unless you’re at the only enterable cop station…. Usual purpose : Well if you get into “a spot of bother” they use them on you. Which is what they use them for in real life…. Location : In the locker room of the police station in Washington Beach and also kill a cop (usually a two star wanted level though) and they drop them Who carries them : As I said the cops and as far as I know no - one else does Kill Rate : Hey this kills in about two hits but still only against the cops themselves and pedestrians themselves but no - one that’s armed Comments : These aren’t bad for a fist fight but against armed opponents its useless because of its range and you’d be swiss cheese before you had chance to strike @@@Baseball Bat@@@ Coolness : Pretty cool…there’s some good feeling in taking the hell outta a pedestrian for absolutely no reason whatsoever…and plus you Americans treat masters with this weapon in the sport it’s used for like Gods… Is it common? : Sorta…you can only get them in one place lying around but still quite a few people carry them and stuff like that… Usual Purpose : Taking out robbers that enter your house but for you Americans most importantly (surprise surprise) baseball… Location : In a tool shop near you after completing the “Jury Fury” mission for our favourite lawyer Ken Rosenberg. Plus see the who carries them section below…and also behind your hotel . Who carries them : Well as far as I know one type of people do. After you buy the “Pole Position” strip club (and get a free suit at collar and cuffs across the road) if you kill a stripper or barlady some guys come after you inside kill one of these and they drop a nice shiny baseball bat… Kill Rate : Very good considering you can buy it from a sports store couple of hits and your Average Joe is a bloody pile. Not so good against your friends with guns… Comments : A nice melee weapon the best I’ve reviewed so far but still no damn good against armed opponents… @@@Knife@@@ Coolness : Seen all of those ninja movies where the ninjas forget there flailing hands/feet and take the knife out of their mouth and slash away! That’s the coolness in a nutshell Is it common? : Like the baseball bat only found lying around in one place but no-one carries them Usual Purpose : Chopping up food….Tommy Vercetti prefers chopping up people. Reminds me of “Psycho”… Location : After completing the Rosenberg mission “Back Alley Brawl” buy them from hardware stores. Also there is supposed to be one behind the “Maison Wenifall” in Ocean Beach Who carries them : No-one as far as in know Kill Rate : Pretty quickly but make sure your killing is swift because if you take long breaks before hitting pedestrians as the cocky ones that fight back can cause damage if don’t kill quickly Comments : A pretty average melee weapon @@@Meat Cleaver@@@ Coolness : If in “Back Alley Brawl” you were stupid enough to fight the three buddies of the murdered chef (also chefs) you’ll have seen how fun it is to kill someone with a meat cleaver…except if you were taking hits it probably wasn’t so fun…. Is it common? : Well one chance of finding someone who carries them, one lying around, you can buy them from anywhere at any time so not rare not common Usual Purpose : Unsurprisingly cleaves meat… Location : At the start of the game from any tool shop from the chef’s friends (if you decide to kill them), in the Ken Rosenberg mission “Back Alley Brawl” and behind the pizza restaurant in Vice Point Who carries them : As I say the chefs in the aforementioned mission and………you Kill Rate: Unfotunately quite a few hits not very fast hits either…. Comments : Good for when you fail a mission to take it out on a few pedestrians but that’s about it. @@@Machete@@@ Coolness : You know thos jungle films where the cheesy adventurer cuts throught the vines with an awesome (or boresome depends on your view) swipe of his large knife type thing well it’s a machete and you make your decision on whether that’s cool or not… Is it Common? : Quite common Usual Purpose : The vine thing mentioned above and cutting back undergrowth which is kinda the same really… Location : On the left side walkway on the bridge from the East Island to Starfish Island, In tool shops after completing “Back Alley Brawl”, and the strippers in the StripClub and the woman behind the bar there Who carries them : See above Kill Rate : Very high, couple of swipes and your opponent is a bloody mess on the floor. Still no good against armed opponents Comments : Four words TAKES PEOPLES HEADS OFF @@@Katana@@@ Coolness : It’s an asian ninja sword so…pretty cool, samurai and even those ninja version of the Yakuza use them sometimes (when outta guns and nun chunks) Is it common : I found it around a lot…but that’s me… Usual Purpose : Well what else are you gonna use a long razor sharp samurai sword for?… Location : In Tarbrush Café office in the North Point Mall or the next door neighbour of Ricardo Diaz (and later on) you or you could buy one like anyone else from a tool shop near you Who carries them : No-one that I have seen Kill Rate : A couple of swipes and your opponent is an a bloody mess on the floor. Still no good against armed opponents. Reminds me of another weapon from my archives… Comments : Also takes people’s heads off it’s an Asian Ninja Sword. Need I say more. I will anyway. In my opinion the second best melee weapon. Next comes my best melee weapon… @@@Chainsaw@@@ Coolness : This may sound sick but remember the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and how that sounded so cool. Well there you have it… Is it common : One word NOPE Usual Purpose : Taking down trees but unless Tommy Vercetti has become a lumberjack I’m sure he has other ideas Location : In the mission “Treacherous Swine” for Colonel Cortez you get one and there is one in the only enterable apartment in Apartment 3c. See the references in My Thanks for directions.

No. It had to be a propellor plane Speed : Considerably fast for an RC Plane Handling : Average Cornering : About as useful in this field as a car with no brakes at top speed Colours : I think it’s usually red not sure Description : A small propellor plane… Locations : In Auntie Poulet’s second mission “Bombs Away” you use this thing (which is slightly heavier due to an object it is carrying in a minute) to take bombs and blow up Cuban boats and Cuban cars…and generally…anything Cuban.

Very soon I’ll be starting the various subs sections related to weapons and vehicles. For now… Enjoy ------------------------------------------- The Ultimate Secret Vehicle/Hunter ------------------------------------------- This isn’t a new database, this just my gathering of information on the Hunter come together. Ahoy Captain, massive spoilers ahead! Beware! Anyway, the Hunter, known as the Ultimate Secret Vehicle in the bradygames guide, is an Apache style helicopter, in army camouflage type colours which is located in the air base. However it is a vehicle that needs to be unlocked. Now there are two ways to unlcok the Hunter which are : Get all the 100 hidden packages. Beat the last mission “Keep Your Friends Close…” There are also two locations, At the far end of the Military Air Base, and at a helipad near a house at the very South of Vice City East. People (some) say that doing one of the ways, get one eg. Completing 100 packages get the helipad etc. Wrong. Which ever way of unlocking you do first unlocks the Hunter at the air base, the other gets it at the South Helipad. For example when playing through Vice City a second time I got all 100 packages before completing the final mission. It was unlocked at the air base first. Ways to get the Hunter. Well when you do the second unlockable way, then it’s quite simply getting to the helipad run through a few bushes find the steps of the helipad, bada bing bada boom you have your Hunter. The way of getting at the air base, well, if you have completed “Cop Land” for your own protection ring asset then you should have unlocked a Cop outfit at the Washington Beach Police Station. Then you can enter the army base without any trouble, stroll up to the Hunter, and fly away quickly, because the army doesn’t want you stealing it’s prize possesion. However you’ve unlocked it via hidden packages you say, and you want it to make a mission easier. You may not have a cop outfit. This makes things a hell of a lot harder as your shot on sight. The only way to get it in my opinion, is to, get your own helicopter, come into the army base from the North so you avoid the front of the army base. Park right next to the Hunter make the switch and fly away north as quickly as possible and if done correctly you have a Hunter. Once in the Hunter you have a real treat. It handles well, corners well, is very fast, and takes a fair amount of damage. The weapons, oh boy it has a uzi style chain gun and a duble rocket launcher. With infite bullets/shells. Brilliant. Well that’s all I know about the Hunter. Next up, some of the things you’ve been asking me recently. ---------------------------------------------------- Weapons and Vehicles FAQ Frequently Asked Questions ---------------------------------------------------- Yes you do ask some strange things but there a few questions that do make sense, have been clogging up my inbox so let’s have a look at what you’ve been asking me over time. ****************************************************************************************** Q : How many helicopters are there, and where are they A : Well there is five helicopters which are : Maverick Police Maverick Sea Sparrow Sparrow VCN Maverick The Maverick is available, once you have bought the Hyman Condo in Downtown, and after defeating Diaz in “Rub Out” on top of his mansion. Wait your mansion! The Police Maverick is on top of the Police Station in Downtown, go round the back and go up the stairs. The Sea Sparrow is only available round the back of Diaz’s/Your mansion when you have found 80 hidden packages The Sparrow is found at these locations, as it would be painful to write it all out again, it is copied straight from the guide itself Near Auntie Poulet’s house in Little Haiti there is a building with a billboard on that says “Move Over Miami” I think you can do a Unique Jump onto this building. On the building you jump to on the first jump in the “G-Spotlight” mission for the Film Studio. In the middle of some back yards near Links View Apartments and on a building just south from the Pay ‘n’ Spray in Ocean Beach. These all initiate missions called “Chopper Checkpoints” all except the second location can be completed after killing Diaz in the “Rub Out” mission where the second one can be unlocked after completing the “G-Spotlight” mission. VCN Maverick is found at the VCN building in Downtown, which is near the bridge to Prawn Island, look for a little door and you get up to a helipad. Of course there is the Hunter, but that’s secret so shush. There is two locations for that read the Hunter section above for details ***************************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************************** Q : I’ve heard there are some pretty cool weapons up for grabs by collecting hidden packages, what are they, and how many packages do I need for them. A : Yep, and later on there are some cool vehicles too. 10 Packages : Body Armour 20 Packages : Chainsaw 30 Packages : Colt Python 40 Packages : Flamethrower 50 Packages : PSG - 1 60 Packages : Mingun 70 Packages : Rocket Launcher 80 Packages : Sea Sparrow 90 Packages : Rhino 100 Packages : Hunter All the weapons are available at the Ocean View Hotel and at Your Mansion when you win it from Diaz. Whatever rewards you have unlocked before buying the Hyman Condo, will appear there once you do. So say you get the Armour, Python, Chainsaw and Flamethrower from packages then you buy the Hyman Condo, they will appear there. Then if you unlock the Sniper Rifle, Mingun and Rocket Launcher, they will not appear at the Hyman Condo. When the Sea Sparrow is unlocked it is available round the back of Diaz’s/Your mansion. The Rhino will be slap bang in the middle of the air base, but you’ll need the cop uniform to get in with no trouble. To see where the Hunter will be check out the info above this section, in the Hunter section ****************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************** Q : I went to the location where you said the Skimmer seaplane was, and it’s not there are you pulling my leg? A : Well if you’d read the thing properly it states that you get it there after completing “Dildo Dodo”, but if you have, and it’s not there then, drive to the North Point Mall and back, the if it’s still not there then, somethings up ****************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************** Q : Where is (x weapon/car)? A : Yes strangely enough I get people asking this, and I don’t even reply, check the guide where you got the email address! ****************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************** Q : I can’t find the Chopper Checkpoints. Help! A : OK, heres where they are and how to get to them. Near Auntie Poulet’s house in Little Haiti there is a building with a billboard on that says “Move Over Miami” I think you can do a Unique Jump onto this building. On the building you jump to on the first jump in the “G-Spotlight” mission for the Film Studio. In the middle of some back yards near Links View Apartments On a building just south from the Pay ‘n’ Spray in Ocean Beach All except the second location can be completed after killing Diaz in the “Rub Out” mission where the second one can be unlocked after completing the “G-Spotlight” mission. Copied from my own guide and edited slightly ****************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************** Q : How come when you go onto the boat in the “All Hands on Deck” mission for Colonel Cortez, you get a katana, instead of whatever melee weapon you had A : I have no idea, but most people who wrote in about this complained of losing their Chainsaw, and they couldn’t find another one. Here’s where it is. From the Southern Ammunation , go north and take the first right and on your left is a couple of apartments the one on the right, you can go into and in the shower is a blonde with big breasts stripping nude! Only joking no you have a chainsaw and a bloody mess. Thanks to Psy II and his guide for that. ****************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************** Q : Where is the Lightless Taxi? A : Ah yes the famous lightless taxi is back from GTA3, but there is no fixed location, I have seen it only once and that was straight after I loaded the game. ****************************************************************************************** ****************************************************************************************** Q : I got 30 hidden packages, and a colt python spawned at my hideout, I kept on collecting bullets, and when I went to use it, it had no number of rounds. I tried using it and it worked normally. What happened? A : It just means you got so many bullets it got unlimited. It did this on GTA 3 except it just had 9999 rounds and after finishing the clip the amount of round stayed the same. ****************************************************************************************** These are all the questions I’ve had…so maybe my guide is thorough or all you guys are just know it alls. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Happens To Your Weapons and Vehicles When You Beat The Game --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well would you look at you, you’ve just completed VC 100%. You want to reap the rewards which were lacking in GTA III? Well..Vehicle and Weapon wise not that much…but they are still good…for any weapons you have and get you have infinite ammo. There is something you have to watch for there though. If you get a remote detonated grenade and you throw it you are stuck with infinite remotes. This can be fixed by simply getting tear gas, moltovs or grenades into your slot. Just something to make note of. As with vehicles they put up with twice as much damage as before. Literally. Of course you now also get the Hunter on a small helipad on the very southernest (even a word) poitn of the eastern island. 8 .oPYo. .oPYo. .oPYo. 8 .oPYo. o o o .oPYo. .oooo. .oPYo. oPYo. .oPYo. 8 8 .oooo8 8 8 8 8 8 Y. .P. .P 8 8 .dP 8oooo8 8 `' 8oooo8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 `b.d'b.d' 8 8 oP' 8. 8 8. 8YooP' `YooP8 `YooP' 8 `YooP' `Y' `Y' `YooP' `Yooo' `Yooo' 8 `Yooo' 8 ....::.....::.....:..:.....:::::..::..:::.....::.....::::.....:..:::::.....: 8 :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ..:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: _________ / _____/____ __ __ ___________ ____ ____ \_____ \\__ \ | | \/ ___/\__ \ / ___\_/ __ \ / \/ __ \| | /\___ \ / __ \_/ /_/ > ___/ /_______ (____ /____//____ >(____ /\___ / \___ > \/ \/ \/ \//_____/ \/ __________ .__ .__ _________.__ .___ \______ \ ____ | | | | / _____/| |__ _____ __| _/__.__. | _// _ \| | | | \_____ \ | | \\__ \ / __ < | | | | ( <_> ) |_| |__ / \| Y \/ __ \_/ /_/ |\___ | |____|_ /\____/|____/____/ /_______ /|___| (____ /\____ |/ ____| \/ \/ \/ \/ \/\/ _______________ _______ ________ \_____ \ _ \ \ _ \ \_____ \ / ____/ /_\ \/ /_\ \ _(__ < / \ \_/ \ \_/ \/ \ \_______ \_____ /\_____ /______ / \/ \/ \/ \/ .oOOOo. .oOOOo. o o o o o O O O O. o O oOooOO. `OOoo.
