In Response To: Re: What about... (Philtron)

: I completely forgot that the demo had a somewhat different story. I don't
: know what's it about.

: Maybe Double Aught originally wanted S'pht-Durandal to be the one sending you
: through time, but then they decided that the story might be more
: meaningful if the main character was in control of the time travel, using
: his free will to gain freedom (kind of like Durandal's arc in the first
: game).

I think that the main character being in control is about as close to "canon" as anything can get with Infinity's story, given that the manual also says:

You’ve been one busy security officer.

You repulsed the Pfhor attack on the colony ship Marathon, uncovered and reawakened the fabled 11th clan of the S’pht and their ancient AI Thoth, rescued the stranded human survivors of Tau Ceti and halted the Pfhor advance on Earth...

And you delivered yourself from your “service” to Durandal, the rampant A.I. whose taste for irony is second only to his unpredictability. Durandal, who at last sighting left to tool around the galaxy in a newly rechristened Pfhor vessel with a crew of S’pht comrades.

There don't seem to be a lot of ways for that third paragraph to be true if the SO isn't in charge of the jumping.
