: True, but these are the words of an immortal AI talking about events on a
: cosmological scale in grandiose prose, both cases where fewer significant
: figures are commonplace, where just giving a general sense of scale is
: close enough.
: Surely the new direction in Marathon 3 would still retain some connections to
: the preceding plot arcs though. Marathon 2 wasn't set on the Marathon
: anymore but it did involve the Pfhor and S'pht. It would be strange if the
: rogue star Durandal wants to go visit were not something he found out
: about from Pfhor or S'pht records, and were not connected to his
: overarching plans to escape the closure of the universe, where Jjaro
: space-warping technology seems to be his strongest lead. The most obvious
: thread of connection I can see is that K'lia has been somewhere else
: unspecified for a thousand years, and here is a star that entered our
: galaxy a thousand years ago, that Durandal seems to have taken an interest
: in right after K'lia returned to Lh'owon... perhaps that's where K'lia has
: been all this time? And perhaps there are further secrets of the Jjaro to
: be found there, piquing Durandal's interest...
um...... I'm a complete amateur in this, but I think there is a chapter in Marathon: Rubicon that is named "The Salinger Incident" and revolves around a UESC station around a rogue star passing through the galaxy
