: Another possibility is that the timelines you follow only branch off from
: the time between Marathon and Marathon 2, so that the W'rkncacnter exist
: within all of the relevant timelines you encounter.
That's what I have always assumed.
: It is possible that the W'rkncacnter don't actually exist within the final
: reality of Infinity, but I would disagree. It's probable that Durandal
: doesn't really know what to expect to find within the sun, so he can't
: detect the W'rkncacnter
Again, that's what I figured. S'bhuth is panicked that destroying the sun will release the W'rkncacnter, but when we collapse it nothing happens. That's because the gravity field we use to collapse it also contains the W'rkncacnter - they live trapped on the edges of black holes and such. So Durandal goes "huh, nothing's happening" and we breath a sigh of relief.

: collective is also a slightly cooler scenario to believe, in any case. :)
