: I was looking up things on the Marathon Story boards, doing some research in
: my off-time, when I ran across a terminal in "You're Wormfood,
: Dude." It says: "I am Arther Frain, Chief Petty Officer, USEC
: Marathon.
: Arther Frane calling all USEC personnel
: Calling Cmdr. Robert Blake...
: Calling Security Chief Jones...
: Arther Frain calling any USEC controlled ship in vicinity...
: Station hull breached, we are losing pressurization. More than half the men
: are without vacuum suits. Patrols reporting intruder, last location
: unknown.
: Any USEC controlled ship surviving nova event, transport when ready.
: Arther Frain calling.
: That is all... "
: Now, that sounds like an interesting and revealing message. It drops three
: names. Arthur Frain is one of them. It sounds like he's a guy in command.
: "Chief Petty Officer" is equal in pay grade to Master Sergeant.
: Sounds to me like Frane is the highest man up right now, so he's taken
: control for the time being. Now, he drops two other names. Commander
: Robert Blake. We all know who Blake is. He's the leader of the humans from
: Tau Ceti. He's probably also the leader of the ground forces on Lh'owon.
: He's a very important man in this battle. The third name, and by far the
: most interesting to me, is "Security Chief Jones." Now, we all
: know a security officer, don't we? And you, being the best shot and the
: strongest of all the crew of the Marathon are a shoe-in for Security
: Chief. Now... how many security chiefs are important enough to have their
: name called along with Commander Robert Blake? I can think of one. Could
: the player-character have a last name now?
: Also, I just noticed that Arther Frane misspelled not only his own name once,
: but he also wrote "USEC" every time, not "UESC".
: Panic, perhaps? And only one intruder? Perhaps it's funny voice
: transcription software?
I think his real last name is Eddings (my Opinion). But i dont know his first name.
