	In Response To: Eternal Volunteers - Welcome To Middlesex (Adam Ashwell) : Welcome to Middlesex, my friends. We've just failed (yet again), and we're : back on the UESC station place. But this time the Pfhor are here, so we're : in for a bit of fun. I liked the first term alot too, but what happened in '96? Wasn't Pathways only '94? : The terminal at the end is very interesting. First we have Durandal talking : about the other two AIs of the Marathon and himself. He seems to have : grown more humble, too - he's placing Leela as his equal or even his : superior. He says that he left her behind before and will not make the : same mistake again. We begin to see likable qualities in Durandal, such as : caring, respect, and (slight) humility. Good work on the terminal writing : - the dream terminals in Eternal are much more interesting and such than : in most other scenarios. I like the last line, bringa back memorys of M2. : I think the reason we're on the station is that Hathor destroyed the S'pht, : and now Durandal couldn't use the S'pht to fight off the Pfhor invasion of : the Marathon. The problem with this, though, (if it's true) is that : without the S'pht I truly doubt thngs would have proceeded to that point : the same way. The Pfhor Empire would probably be quite different, and I : don't think they would have attacked the Marathon in the same manner. : While they probably would've at some point, it's a bit much to assume that : you can just extract the S'pht from the timeline and have things go : smoothly up until the attack on the Marathon. Then again, this may not be : true. Remember the butterflys in china. : One thing I'd suggest for this level would be seeing Bobs fight against the : Pfhor, fighting a losing battle and getting massacred. Again I say this : because it would create an appropriate atmosphere. Even if there's some : logical reason that the Bobs are already dead (such as the Pfhor have : already taken the station), I think often gameplay, smoothness, and : atmosphere are more important than "making sense" at times. I did see a few dead pfhor, and a Bob or two running around, but I like the idea of a last stand typ of thing happening thoughout the level.
