	Message: : CHAPTER 5: ANTIQUITY : (This chapter was invented during the "Anomatica" phase of : Eternal's development, around the year 2000, when we decided to work in a : Halo connection for the final chapter rather than returning once again to : Lh'owon during the W'rkncacnter assault. This chapter was originally : scheduled to feature Marathon implementations of the Flood, and actually : take place on Halo; prior to Halo's release, a now-former Bungie employee : who shall remain nameless had told me an early pre-release version of : Halo's plot which was explicitly connected to Marathon, wherein the : Forerunners truly were the Jjaro. After Halo's release, when it became : clear that this was no longer true, I began reworking the plot of this : chapter to be less Halo related, and eventually resorted to involving the : W'rkncacnter again; a decision which I am quite happy about as it allows : me to harken back to Pathways Into Darkness. Some time in the intermediary : period between the explicitly Halo-related plot and the Pathways-related : current plot, I had considered involving the "Organics" from Ian : McConville's scenario RED as suitable Marathon-related Flood replacements. : Prior to the Great Chapter Screen Renaming of 2005ish, this chapter was : titled "Jjaro"). : Chapter Screen: Marcus stands high upon a ledge and gazes out upon the vast : landscape of the interior of the Sphere. His helmet is removed and in his : hands; however as he is facing away from the camera, you still cannot see : his face. : (The landscape is based on a photo of New Zealand by Ben Oppenheimer.) : Level 41: "Echoes of Eden" : (Created by Andreas Nuyts. The title is the name of the band of my old friend : Ben Wigler, who was an early member of the Eternal team back when it was : called "Forever More", and also the original director of the : defunct scenario project "Rameses". The title is meant to recall : the "garden at the beginning of the world" line from the : Unformatted KYT Terminal. Previous titles for this level were "Sphere : of Annihilation", for the obvious reasons, and "Fifth Floor, : Mens' Lingerie", which is part of a callback line involving an : elevator from the Rocky Horror Picture Show.) : You teleport in only to find yourself floating in space. Soon thereafter you : teleport into a round room of a sleek, unfamiliar design. In this room are : rechargers, a pattern buffer, and a terminal: [L41-T0-Unfinished] : Outside this room is a vast, curvaceous warehouse-like facility. A nearby : switch will begin to lower the elevator which is to take you to the end of : the level. Banshees, shadowy figures with glowing red eyes stalk the : otherwise empty halls, while fusion turrets fire impotently at them. : Around the upper floors of this facility are weapons and munitions, and a : terminal from Hathor: [L41-T2-Unfinished] : Upon your return to the elevator, you find that pouring down it are not only : more of the shadowy Banshees but also terrifying orange Headless creatures : and hideous flying Nightmares, all of whom attack you. They prove more : succeptible to your weaponry than the Banshees; and your new Wave Motion : Cannon and Gravitronic Blades prove the only thing that can hurt the : Banshees. When you reach the top of the elevator you find even more of : these strange monsters, pouring in endless hordes into this courtyard with : a strangely familiar sky... : Not far away is a safe, lockable room, inside of which is a terminal: : [L41-T1-Unfinished] : You teleport out to Level 42: "The Dead Live In The Catacombs".
