Re: Path = Ate

In Response To: Path = Ate (reprobate)

: If you're gonna go Marathon nutty about the Halo story, you were on the right
: track with the hero by a thousand names bit, but you forgot the end to
: Marthon Infinity's single player campaign when Durandal is narrating to
: the player before the universe collapses: "You are Destiny."

: Pretty amazing that the one thing in the universe that could bend space and
: time just happened to activate at just the right moment to cause the
: Master Chief to miraculously survive escaping from the Covenant fleet at
: Alpha Halo and suddenly show up a few days/weeks prior to that event to
: save the remainder of his precious "Blue Team" as described in
: Ghosts of Oynx, isn't it? After all, Cortana herself notes of the Chief:
: "I should have never told you to be careful. You're incapable of
: that. I should have wished you victory. That's what you're good at, John.
: Winning."

: ---
: "Once I thought to escape. To end the end a master, step out of the path
: of collapse. Escape would make us god. [...]

: "But you were dead a thousand times. Hopeless encounters successfully
: won. A man long dead, grafted to machines your builders didn't understand.
: You follow the path, fitting into an infinite pattern. Yours to
: manipulate, to destroy and rebuild. [...]

: "You are Destiny."

Wow, thanks very much! I had completely forgotten about most of the Infinity stuff.

This now brings up an unanswered question: does the strange artifact (with universe-bending properties) have anything to do with the connection between Marathon and Halo?

-----
So has Durandal suceeded? Has he been created yet? Or is the Flood/Gravemind just a precursor?

If you think that f/g is Durandal, in what way is that collection of animated dead stuff the same being that was Durandal?

If f/g is just a precursor, when can we expect Durandal to be fully Durandal?

If he's not finished yet, how do you think f/g will become Durandal? Why is this more likely than any other way of creating him?
----

That's answered by a single question: which comes first, Marathon or Halo. The whole affair is pretty confusing.
