In Response To: Begging For Mercy... (PerseusSpartacus)

: ...Makes Me Confused!

: On the level ' Begging For Mercy Makes Me Angry! ', we finally see (and
: promptly destroy) an AI core (namely that of Durandal). What's strange is
: that as far as we know, there were no AIs on board the Sfiera (which
: Durandal now calls the Boomer ) before Durandal transferred himself there
: - at least not of any real complexity or significance (if I can recall,
: before capturing Tycho, the Pfhor understanding of Artificial Intelligence
: was terribly limited).

: So how is there an 'AI core' aboard the ship? If there wasn't one there
: before (and considering the lack of a major AI, we can assume there
: wasn't), why would there be one now? Durandal didn't seem to need one, as
: he simply transferred himself over to the Sfiera as soon as the S'pht
: were in control: Our most pressing concern is for the ship and her crew,
: but I
: feel compelled to share with you that Durandal has left the
: ship. I can find him nowhere on our network, and traffic logs
: over the last half hour show sixty-four billion exobytes
: transferred off of and deleted from the Marathon. - Try Again (Term. 3,
: 'Finished')

: If Durandal didn't need an AI core, and there weren't any when the Sfiera
: was captured (presumably), then why would there be one now?

: Or is it an AI core at all?


All over the ship, dancing through the wreckage
of the Pfhor computer core,

DURANDAL WAS LAUGHING

One of the best lines in Marathon... period.

I read it in a cold sweat, having survived the leap of faith, the gauntlet of fire and Hell's well. I slowly turned around and saw the final terminal. You never forget moments like that. :)

Cheers
