	In Response To: Re: A name for the player-character? (Doomguy) : Some of these lines in Punctuation are what is in the Marathon Manuel. This : is just some of the stuff i was posting on the Pfhorums (a Marathon : forum)in which i was discussing with people about this theory. : -------------------------------------------------- : Also the line when he pounds on he door and pulls out his gun: "You pull : out your pistol, and pound the switch to open the door. : Oddly , this is familiar to you, as if it were from an old dream, but you : can't exactly remember... " : : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ : Now there is 2 explanations for this of why this is familiar to him. : 1. The Battleroids were used first to attack some people in an Asteroid. : Maybe entering the Marathon is familiar to how he entered the Asteroid in : the past with his buddy's. But we are not told if he participated in that : operation. : 2. It reminds him of entering the Pyramid (in PiD) alone, against a hostile : force and with only a pistol. : : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- : Also is the PiD part at the Beginning of M1A1 considered Canon? We are told : in the Marathon Manuel that the Security Officer was daydreaming before he : entered the Marathon. He was daydreaming about his past life on Mars and : his Fathers death (that had to be implanted memories since he was not born : on Mars and if he is Sergeant Eddings then he was born on Earth. Im : guessing when the Cyborg was created the creators tried to erase Edding's : memories and implanted new ones. But we know the human scientists were not : fully successful on this and that why some of these experiences are : familiar to what he did in PiD. I hope if Bungie makes Marathon 4 they can : reveal more on the Backgrounds of the Security Officer) I think the PiD intro in Aleph One was a joke. That wasn't there in M1. If you recall, in PiD you enter with a broken rifle, and empty gun, and a knife. I'd go for the Thermopylae angle on this one. It's entirely possible that you could have been born on Mars, turned into a battleroid, and invaded Onicis 492 in that war before being placed in cryo, awaiting a time of need.
