: But what really struck out at me was the mention of the Flood, which means
: that the author must have written this after the release of Halo. This
: immediately reminded me of Forrest's earlier Eternal-related musings on
: the link between the Halo and Marathon universes which generated a lot of
: discussion here before. I remember Forrest actually said once that he was
: interested in using Ian's Organic sprites from RED as a representation of
: the Halo's Flood in Eternal, but it seems that he dropped it.
Yeah, I decided against that for two reasons: one, the implication would then be that the W'rkncacnter "Joshua' used Organics in the distant past, then at the time of PiD used all the monsters we see in there, and then later in RED used the Organics again, which doesn't make a lot of sense. It makes more sense that every time he awakens he conjures up some new nightmare.
And two, the Organics' visual appearance wasn't quite accurate to some of the implications I try to make in Chapter 5 regarding the Jjaro, W'rkncacnter, Humans, and Pfhor...
: My guess is that it's Eternal-related. Maybe it's something someone wrote for
: a terminal or chapter screen to be used in Eternal, but was promptly
: forgotten.
It's nothing that I recognize from the project. I could see it being something that Yoss might have written, but it's not quite his style. It's also possible Enkidu wrote it, since his little short story thing was also Marathon & Halo related.
