Ernie wants YOU to clarify Marathon Canon
Posted By: ErnieDate: 3/19/04 6:37 p.m.

I'm doing a sweep through WMaiD, and I came to a terminal I believe would benifit from community fact checking.

Below is a transcription (copy and pasted by yours truly) from one of the incidental UESC terminals found in an Epilogue level. I invite everyone to pick appart my definitions, dates, or facts - or to even write your own and post them here. Who knows, they may wind up in WMaiD.

Thanks in advance everyone,
-Ernie
