In Response To: Infinity: the Story: Chapt 2, Part 2/2 (Philtron)

: Durandal’s teams have activated the S’pht AI, and Durandal is “…learning much
: about the final days of the S'pht, but the intelligence is reticent and
: inscrutable. It expects something, that is clear enough, but what is a
: mystery”.

It may be expecting the final message of the S'pht'Kr which some have suggested provides the location of K'lia thus allowing the ansible to be correctly directed. In M2 we find the message before we activate the S'pht AI (Thoth). In this timeline we activate the S'pht AI first.

: The only terminal here starts with the login “haga.kure” which is the name of
: the volcano crater base that the humans occupy in Chapter 4: Envy.

As with all things Bungie (and now DA) a simple name can mean many things.

: The exit terminal contains green text which looks similar in style to the
: text associated with the Durandal-S’pht entity at the end of the game.
: Does this mean they merged together in this timeline? This green text is
: the only thing that could possibly give us clues as to what is going on,
: and is probably the only cryptic-style terminal I’ll bother analyzing.

It is my firm belief that the green text is a mistake (yes lots of those in Infinity). If it had been white text it would have matched the ending terminal on Ne Cede Malis and therefore finding this one on another failed ending would not be too unexpected. It would also match all the Electric Sheep terminals up to now. I like continuity.

It is also my firm belief that it is not the Durandal-S'pht entity as that has a different logon graphic and does not communicate to you in this cryptic manner.

One day I shall go back in time and correct all these mistakes so that we may finally understand the tru7h.

Alternatively I could just wait another 25 years for the Story page to come up with the answer.

Cheers
Hamish
