: It has always puzzled me why this white terminal text appears here. Aside
: from the fact that the logon graphic is wrong and the grammar never got
: fixed from the beta testing days, there is another white text message on
: the very next level, albeit with a different logon/logoff Jjaro graphic.
: Hey at least it's white text... right?
The quick succession of white text terminals never struck me as odd. Especially since this happens much more frequently in the next Chapter.
: So two similarly styled white text messages back to back, one in a failed
: timeline, the other in a 'dream' state. One saying "find the new
: way" , the other "stay the hard way" . Sure they mean the
: same thing... right?
My interpretation is that "way" means two different things in each statement. In the first it means a specific "way", find a new specific timeline. In the second it is more broad, broadly to stay with the difficult task of defeating the W'rkncacnter,
: And what is it with the last part of Hang Brain? You grab the chip... then it
: is...
: ...smash circuit panel or read terminal?
: ...read terminal or smash circuit panel?
: Free choice?
: If you smash the circuit panel you pretty much deny yourself a major story
: point and makes the final section all the more confusing. Did Greg and the
: boys really mean to do this to people?
The way I interpreted this was that the green broken-Durandal text is what the main character sees. The white text is just for us players, and the split caused by breaking the circuits is Double Aught's way of showing us both. In a way, this is a microcosm of the narrative device used with the failure timelines; there is the option of simply missing them and missing a portion of the story, but diligent players will find it.
A somewhat similar terminal split takes place in A Converted Church... and I spend an entire page talking about it.
