In Response To: About the Destination of Durandal (PerseusSpartacus)

No.
Durandal says "world" not "worlds". If Leela was spread across fifteen worlds then they would all be equally desirable destinations to visit her and Durandal would have used "worlds".
Also, fifteen worlds is a bit much for one rogue star; it seems more likely that the Vylae network is spread across several star systems and not located in just one.
Also, Durandal says "ruined world" and not "abandoned world"; it would take more than a few years for a world to fall apart and decay and be considered "ruined".
There's also nothing indicating that the Vylae did in fact abandon anything. First, there's no reason to assume that Leela's rampancy would make the Vylae network or any of their worlds useless. Second, it says "the Vylae have long since accepted", which makes it sound like they've given up on expunging her from the network, but not that they've abandoned anything; most likely they've learned to live with her, possibly symbiotically. And, third, something as major as the Vylae abandoning every single one of their planets would be something that would've been mentioned in the M2 epilogue.
Lastly, Durandal has no reason to visit Leela. He doesn't care about the other Marathon AIs unless they get in his way; he's perfectly happy abandoning them. His primary goal is to uncover the secrets of the Jjaro and escape the closure of the universe. So, most likely the "ruined world" is one that has some connection to the Jjaro.
Interesting speculation, but the ruined world is most likely a Jjaro world of some sort and not Leela's new home.
