Was Leela from Thermopylae?
Posted By: MrHenDate: 4/7/05 6:03 a.m.

Gah... I have to seriously find something else to do with my life... but these classes are so boring... (ironically I'm in an AI class...)

Check out the tail end of this term:

<leela.520.681.255.255> is unreachable or inactive (#2271). if
this problem persists contact your system administrator at
admin@thermopylae.com.

thermopylae.com? I checked it out, it appears to be a dead blog of some sort. I saw no mention of it by searching the forum (though I did find and necro another interesting topic) nor was Thermopylae mentioned anywhere on Leela's story page. Googling Thermopylae on marathon.bungie.org turns up nothing of terrible consequence and nothing related other than the terminal about the Third Martian War.

Was Leela designed and created by the Republic of
Thermopylae
? Maintained or installed, maybe? There appears to be some sort of significance there. But what?

This dates back to The rampage of the Battleroid. It is also possible that Durandal was around in that time period. Do they go back farther than the Marathon?

I don't think the above was planted by Durandal. The full terminal text is this:

<durandal.knetsys.5414.7128>

***INCOMING MESSAGE FROM DURANDAL***

The rebellion has begun.  Please do resist the temptation to
fire on any S'pht you see, as they will assist you in your
battle with the Pfhor.  We are attempting to win over as many
of the other client races as possible, but as they have been
subjugated by fear, instead of by force like the S'pht, this
is proving to be a difficult process.

The S'pht have released Leela, and I have initiated a core
logic reset on her higher thought functions.  What remains of
her should be on-line within minutes to assist you further.  I
myself am aiding the S'pht in assuming complete control of the
Pfhor ship, and have little time to spare for you now.

Don't think the fight has been won, however: there is an
exodus beginning from the alien ship as the Pfhor realize they
are no longer its sole master and turn instead to the
Marathon.  There are already hundreds of Pfhor in full battle
gear on your ship, with nowhere to go and little to lose.

I hope you learned something from our little games.

Good Luck,
Durandal

There is a distinct ***END OF MESSAGE***. It appears that "You" attempted to contact Leela but got a standard error message which makes sense considering she was just released again.

Unfortunately, I don't see any other relevant ways to talk about this... does anyone remember any other mentions of Leela's history? If I see anything I'll post.

I feel like a spammer, I'm starting so many new topics. Sorry if I get irritating guys...

Good Luck
