: Has this ever been explored in any 3rd party scenarios or writings?
: I know in Eternal, (by Forrest) - the Marine is re-integrated ( somewhat )
: into human society and becomes "Marcus". Is it ever quantified
: exactly how much time has passed at that point in Eternal?
The start date for Eternal is 2905. The player has skipped over all the time between M2/Infinity (2811) and then, nearly 100 years. The player was in stasis for 17 years between then and Marathon (2794). He was presumably taken out of statis 7 years before Marathon, when the ship arrived at Tau Ceti; before that, he had been in stasis for around 300 years. So he is chronologically over 400 years old, but subjectively probably not much older than 30. That all depends on how long he was active before statis, too.
: In the Rubicon spectrum, its left vauge about exactly how many years have
: passed between the time you departed the Marathon to then.
: This aspect also doesn't just apply to the player. Any BoB's (Blake, for
: example) who left Sol on the Marathon hundreds of years before would
: likley feel like aliens when they arrived back on Earth.
: I'd love everyones thoughts on this.
