: In case you don't know what relevance this has on Marathon's story, the Nar
: are an alien race only mentioned in terminals and shown in one piece of
: terminal art ( Curiouser and Curiouser... , Terminal 1).
Actually, a Nar is shown as well in Terminal 1 of the Marathon Infinity level Thing What Kicks…, and at that, without a helmet or gauntlets, revealing his face and 9 (under normal circumstances, 13 ;)) tendrils for a hand.
Interesting bit about that river, though. Narborough - you'd almost think it was a silly Marathon reference, after hearing about the alien race and all. :P
