In Response To: Re: Found Post (Forrest of B.org)

: Yeah, this is another of those things where this method of diagramming it
: doesn't seem to work, because the events occur in a different order. I
: need some way of showing that BG7 does arrive in that timeline (and that
: we do redo Waterloo in the Thing What Kicks timeline, etc), but afterward.
: I suppose I could make the green bars criss-cross and weave (changing
: order) between timelines, but that would require making the chart a good
: deal wider to keep it legible. (Maybe I'd be able to fix the dream level
: placement with that extra room to work with, though...)

That might work. I wouldn't worry to much about the size. Those that want to view will download it.

: Good idea. Question: do we have any evidence that this S'pht rampancy
: occurred in Marathon 2? I don't recall any mention of it there, but it
: seems to occur in every Infinity timeline, so I imagine it must have
: occurred in M2 too...

It's never mentioned in M2. During the Pfhor attack on his ship he does say that he is trying to evacuate as many S'pht and humans down to the planet as possible. This would suggest that Durandal's S'pht hadn't turned rampant. Why bother trying to save them if they had?

Gameplay doesn't help since if memory serves all the S'pht are against you in M2. Indeed, Durandal makes reference to the S'pht fighting you albeit poorly on Come and Take Your Medicine. Funny thing is I never felt they were fighting poorly. ;-)

Without the evidence I would not extend the S'pht rampancy event line into the M2 timeline.

Cheers
Hamish
