In Response To: Durandal, Tycho and Strauss (UrsusArctos)

: Could Tycho and Durandal have known each other as far back as Mars, and could
: Tycho have been brought in to control Durandal?

Well to quote everyone's favorite Ship Operations AI:

"There are obviously many things which we do not understand, and may never be able to."

Thanks for putting this theory together. Reminds me of the old days.

The Rampancy section on the Story page really needs to be beefed up. I mean Halo has more Rampancy info than we do.

When did Durandal go rampant?

One the same level as we read from James B. Miller's seminal work "Life and Death of Intelligence" we have that secret terminal where Tycho warns us:

"He has been rampant for years."

So "years", not decades, not centuries. How odd that he should use that phrasing.

Thanks for pointing out that overlooked piece from the Marathon 2 manual.

"Durandal had always been unpredictable, even when he was just opening doors and managing food processors three hundred years ago on Mars."

And of course this is 'you' talking here.

Thanks for making me think again.

There is something going on here that we have not figured out... yet.

Cheers
Hamish
