| In Response To: Re: Tycho's Wrath on Foe Hammer (Hokuto) Dammit, so I had a nice lucid response almost finished and then NVidia did a force restart for updating drivers ... okay I started it running, but still, would have been nice to have a warning. NVidia circuits - can't stand 'em! Try again. Indeed. The problem with the non-linear storytelling is that except for on the dream levels, there is only ever one way off the level. Are we wilfully swapping sides here? We're just a searcher searching for a way out of this hellhole. Maybe Blake went to some effort to ensure we would see that message - infiltrating Tycho's terminal in the first place? Is lt kent another person or just code for us? It has been discussed before - is Blake even real or just Durandal trying to appear dead while still appealing to our "humanity"? I guess here he doesn't quite have a reason to play dead yet. Okay this is diverging from what I had this morning ... let me try to access my memory pattern buffer. There's also the large airlock door just past the terminal, which we can open (and get trapped behind) - is this a sign that we're letting Blake and co. in? Again, is it wilful? We're just a Security Officer who likes to hit switches :D. Then we have the idea of memories across timelines. I saw The World's End last night - great film btw - and without getting too spoilerish, something about "robots with selective memories" could have meaning here. Clearly the player remembers things from other timelines in Infinity, but does the Security Officer? Why does Durandal even think we'll just switch to his side? If M2 is deprecated at this point, our relationship with him was still about following orders because we had no choice back in M1, and his last message had him taking off in the Pfhor ship and not really caring what happened to us. Does he remember stuff from other timelines, where we got on better? Or is it something in the circumstances that led to our being woken up by Tycho in this timeline? On Ne Cede Malis, Durandal seems to have no memory of M2, but maybe as we advance through Infinity? The same goes for Tycho - we abandoned him after Confound Delivery, whether wilfully or not - almost certainly not in that case actually - and to me, Naw Man He's Close represents carrying on from where CD left off, with Tycho sending us to Durandal's ship. And if things are starting to blur in the timelines, perhaps there is more to Tycho's being so pissed off on Foe Hammer. Later he calls us on exactly this thing that we can't explain or be sure of - things we did only we can't quite remember. Okay I think that covers what I had this morning and a few other bits :). Scary moment there when I somehow went back in the browser .. but forward again kept my typing, or it could have been gone. Phht just like that!
