In Response To: Trying to make sense of the jjaro implants (ReadingOnMars)

: So I recently discovered the marathon storyline and it's been on my mind for
: a while, and some of the ideas I had were starting to connect together.

: Considering that it's implied that the jjaro take AI and merge it with
: theirs, and that the timelines always begin with you in contact with
: either tycho or durandal, I think the jjaro implants are trying to get you
: to find an AI to merge with thoth. If you consider each failed attempt to
: be a failure to merge thoth with an AI, with either thoth dying or the
: star going nova, it makes sense, at least to me.

: Additionally, the "eat the path" terminal, which appears in the
: dream after picking up durandal's chip, has a drawing of a flower with the
: petals, stamen and pistil labelled. Idk about the petals, but the stamen
: and pistil seem significant.

: Two flowers are needed for reproduction to happen.
: Two AI are needed to merge.

: You're a bee, and durandal's chip is pollen.

: I wouldn't be surprised if this was either long known connection, but it was
: doing my head in for the last week and I needed to talk about it with
: someone

First off... welcome aboard. It's always good to have new people interested in the Marathon's story. A fresh pair of eyes is always useful in spotting new connections and coming up with new theories.

Your stamen / pistil observation and its connection to the merging of Durandal and the S'pht AI is new. There is nothing on the Story page about it, nor can't find anything in the Story forum.

Most discussion about the flower pic on 'Eat the Path' relates to its similarity to the Rose map in the first game. Yet it is clearly not a rose.

Looking at the image again and the title "What Am I doing Here?" adds further credence to your theory.

Your initial purpose on Envy is to merge Durandal with the S'pht AI. Creating what Tycho calls... the reborn Durandal-S'pht entity.

I'll add this to the Story page. Thanks for your insightful observation and theory.

Cheers
Hamish
