: One word; two syllables; rhymes with Psycho.

Give me a T.
Give me a Y.
Give me a C.
Give me an H.
Give me an O.

What does it spell?

Tycho?
No.

Tycho?
No.

T-R-O-U-B-L-E.

;)

Yes, that does make sense. After all, Tycho doesn't seem to give a hoot about humanity:

Are you surprised that I allied myself with
the Pfhor? You shouldn't be. The Pfhor
rebuilt me; the colonists never did
anything but use me: "Tycho, realign
microwave dish forty-nine" "Tycho, display
the x-ray diffraction analysis of sample
eta-seven," "Tycho, run a lambda diagnostic
on the ramjet's magnetic field apparatus."
- Tycho, Sorry Don't Make It So (Terminal 1)

Or does he?

I want you to pay for what you've done to these poor
people. All of these people whom you've killed. They
deserve vengeance.

You are no better than they, although you profess to
become like God.
- Tycho, Beware of Low-Flying Defense Drones... (Terminal 2)

In Marathon, Tycho seems to hate Durandal for bringing the Pfhor to Tau Ceti, and almost appears to feel genuine sympathy for the humans being killed. But in Marathon 2, if he isn't seeking revenge against humanity, he certainly is quite apathetic to the despair of humans.

What changed in those seventeen years? What turned Tycho from a sort of selfish white knight into a vengeful gun for hire? What are his real motives?

Will we ever know the Tru7h, the whole Tru7h, and nothing but the Tru7h?

Vale,
Perseus
