Infinity: the Story: Chapt 2, Part 1/2

Posted By: Philtron Date: 12/16/20 2:21 p.m.

Chapter 2: Rage
(Durandal’s Search For Answers)
We are shown events from a timeline similar to Marathon 2, but which unfold a bit differently.
Acme Station:
Rather than going directly to Lh’owon, Durandal stops at a scanning station and sends the main character to disable it to “cripple [the Pfhor’s] warning system”.
Durandal mentions a scout ship has been tailing him for the last several years.
Durandal also mentions a Pfhor ship hiding near Lh’owon’s South pole. Presumably this is Tycho, who is currently in the process of his mutiny.
The main character disables the station and they continue.
Location:
Jjaro scanning buoy in a deep Lh’owon orbit.
Success status:
Durandal is approaching Lh’owon. Tycho is waiting for him. Thoth is not activated. Tfear has not arrived.
Post Naval Trauma:
Durandal stops at a Pfhor armor platform which is used for putting down ground revolts.
The main character destroys the de-powered armor vehicles stationed there.
As this is happening, Durandal sends “human strike teams... en route to the location of a S'pht AI whose memories I want to probe.”
Back in space, the main character also destroys the coolant stations on the platform which disables the armor platform’s engines.
Back on the surface, the human commandos begin their assault and “the first team has already infiltrated a deserted area of the planet and activated an ancient S'pht AI that I believe is the key to discovering the fate of the eleventh clan.”
Location:
Location: massive Armor Platform of the Lh’owon Naval Unit
Success status:
Durandal has arrived at Lh’owon. Tycho is waiting for him. Thoth is being activated. Tfear is not present.
Comments:
I believe this is the first mention of the eleventh clan in Infinity. Apparently Durandal doesn’t need to check the archives in the S’pht Citadel of Antiquity in this timeline. He just knows? I may be misremembering something from M2, here.
Where Some Rarely Go:
Durandal finally sends the main character to the surface of Lh’owon. The main character is tasked with flooding the Pfhor facilities, causing them to go into chaos, and thus helping Durandal’s humans to succeed in activating the S’pht AI.
The main character first finds the technical access to the water treatment plant.
Meanwhile in space, the Pfhor scoutship that was hiding near the South Pole makes its move and closes in fast on Durandal. Durandal’s weapons have a longer range and he disables the scoutship “easily”.
The rest of the Pfhor navy, Western Arm of Battle Group Seven, arrives in the solar system and Durandal intercepts a signal being sent to them from the disabled scoutship which leads him to believe that Tycho is in control of that ship (he is, as we learned from the previous Chapter).
Location:
Perimeter Station 7AF, water treatment/maintenance facility for Planetary Command, and all of the Eastern Emplacements
Success status:
Durandal is at Lh’owon and is fighting Tycho. Thoth is activated. Tfear has arrived in the system with his fleet.
Comments:
Despite stating that the S’pht AI was activated in the last level, we don’t hear about it again until the next level where the way it’s worded makes it sound like it gets activated in that level not the previous one. Probably just some clunky writing.
Ultimately, these Durandal levels really feel like filler, or like an excuse to explore the narratives of the Pfhor (which I am ignoring for brevity’s sake).
