On the subject of Hell slowly assimilating the UAC base, it looks like that's what's happening in the E2M7 shot of the invuln hallway, but in a new and IMO very cool way.
Rather than just having vines or flesh growing over shit (not that this isn't neat) it looks like the very building materials UAC used are being transmuted into hellish stone, but without really changing the architecture so much. So you have metal gradually melding into brick and STARTAN becoming what looks like brown marble (at first I wondered if it was just supposed to be rusting, but the color looks too uniform, the texture too marble-ish, and the whole thing looks like a transition to a more hellish stonework hallway beyond). In the latter case, the distinctive STARTAN panel shape remains even after the transformation, which just blows me away because it implies that Hell's not just tearing out stuff and putting stone blocks in--rather, the influence/presence of Hell is causing existing objects and structures to change their "essence" at a molecular level. You can also see this in the brick concourses following the exact lines of the metal ones, and of UAC brown metal/composite becoming green marble up above.
THAT is an example of the sort of idea I love!
