	In Response To: Re: Noticed a neat detail on the logon screens. (Godot) : The two green variants of the Jjaro symbol have been frequently discussed : over the years. The third variant was sent to the Story page by Greg and : Randy back in Mar 7, 1996. : https://marathon.bungie.org/story/newmar-apr.html : This would later feature on the doors of the Jjaro station. : Numerous people including myself have tried to make logical sense of their : appearance on the terminals. Initially the map version of the Jjaro symbol : looks like it is coming from the entity that communicates to us : figuratively (metaphorically rather than literally) but its use is not : consistent. Logical minds hate this. I certainly did. : If you look at the demo version of Ne Cede Malis you will see that all the : terminals use the solid green Jjaro symbol. The map version of the Jjaro : symbol was added later in development. It is possible that this how some : of the inconsistency arose. : When you say that the map of Aye Mak Sicur is different in the Jjaro symbol : are you referring to the fact that you can see more of the underground : waterway? : When you say that there is "nothing incoherent" on this terminal : https://marathon.bungie.org/story/necedemalis.html#M3.01.1.1 : Then check this out. : http://forums.bungie.org/story/?noframes;read=58510 : "Cyclical Experiences" : And then you remember this. : https://marathon.bungie.org/story/simulacrums.html#M2.25.2.2 : (circumstances are cyclical) : And now you are failing down a rabbit hole... : Cheers : Hamish Oh, boy, I've got some reading material to last the next year it would seem. I've never found a hobby that's so well documented before, but for some reason if I think about marathon for too long my head hurts, so I think I might hold off for today. Here's to the beginning another incredibly niche interest, I suppose. If I remember to, I might do a bit of research on the potential implications of the whole "you're essentially a bee and durandal and thoth are flowers" idea and post my findings in the next few days. Thanks for the warm welcome Matt
