: An obvious hole in my logic is that Ian (from Dylan's copy/Paste) seems to
: place the events around RED’s “PX-39” colony planet at the same time as
: those in Marathon:Infinity. I believe this is more of a screwup on Ian’s
: part than mine. By his mention of “THE TERRAN ALLIANCE” existing at
: (presumably) the same time as the UESC in Infinity... I think our artistic
: friend simply didn’t think things through enough.
: In any case, it is easy to disregard much of the information on the RED
: bighouse site, as it even conflicts at times with what is *in*
: Marathon:Red.
: The walking Juggernat-tanks of RED, according to the site at one point
: belonged to the Pfhor forces. Uh, sure Ian. ; )
I think it more that he made some major changes to the story and never bothered to update the web site to reflect this.
Unfortunately, I don't think it will ever be possible to reconcile all the major scenarios ever released into a single coherent story. Virtually no one had this concept in mind when they developed their ideas, and most major scenario storylines include some basic revelation or shift in the architecture of the universe that makes this task that much harder.
(Also, I don't think there's direct communication with the Jjaro in *any* scenario, official or not, besides Pathways Into Darkness, depending on whether you count S'bhuth as one of them. What RED lacks is even any *mention* of the Jjaro.)
