In Response To: Re: Reasoning why RED *could* be an alternate univ (Blayne)

: The colonized planet Px-139 isn't described in RED as being some kind of
: "Reach"-esk military world. The only army that comes/is spawned
: on/ this world is the Organics/Metalloids.

: The only "Terrans" in RED that are around Px-139 are those on the
: same ship that Ian and the RED marine are on. Did you even play this game?

I think it's reasonable to assume that PX-39 (I think it's this, but I'm not really sure...) has some sort of armed law-enforcement or military presence before the player's ship arrived. It does seem to have military equipment scattered around for the Metalloids to pilfer.

: Because the DANGI scientists in Rubicon were kidnapped at the end of
: Rubicon by Durandal for his own zany purposes.

: I’m curious: Is “ for Mr. Levin’s Sake ” to be similar to “ for Gods sake ”?
: I know that the Jjaro are mentioned in RED as the PiD connection (Joshua was
: apparently the sleeping God in PiD that the Jjaro messenger warned the
: President about).

The Jjaro are never mentioned in RED at all. The only connection to them is indirectly, through my theory that the brothers and the player are tied to the events in Pathways.

: However, you missed my point in stating the lack of Jjaro in RED.
: To clarify;
: The Jjaro are referred to in the same way that “ Hey , I talked with the
: Jjaro a few thousand years ago. They’re doing awesome!”

: There isn’t any Jjaro communication with the player (via dream, or reality)
: in RED. Do you understand the difference?

There isn't any Jjaro communication to anyone in ANYTHING except Pathways and possibly third party scenarios.

: Mark, can you confirm this? At no point do I recall there being Juggernaut
: Tanks that fight for the Pfhor Dylan. Ian remarks something to this extent
: on his site - however: It’s been shown that the Site and what’s actually
: in-game do not always correlate.

By "tanks minor" I think he means the smaller spider tanks. There are very few of these in the game- they might even only appear on the second level, and they are very weak and tend to get instantly killed when a battle starts.

: In closing I have a final question: Am I actually wasting my time arguing
: comparative 3rd party Marathon scenario cannon with someone who is 12?

Please... Don't go there. I personally think arguing comparative third party scenario canon is entirely futile in the first place, but I'm not going to call you an idiot for doing it.
