	Message: : And by "events between M1 and M2", I mean "what was Durandal : up to". I think I've already mentioned some of this here before, but : those posts are years old and I wanted to add some new stuff. Note that : this is all pretty much speculation based on what little info on : between-game events we're given. : -- : We know that Durandal headed to Sol Core early on to give humanity FTL tech : and the knowledge of how to use it ("Come and Take Your : Medicine", Terminal 1 Msg 1). We also know that he "saw the : colony was about to be destroyed" ("What About Bob?", : Terminal 1 Msg 1). He apparently had reason to believe that Tycho had : fallen in with the Pfhor (same terminal as last, Msg 2), and is at least : familiar enough with Admiral Tfear ("Bob's Big Date", Terminal 4 : Msg 1) to know that he can't win a one-on-one battle against the Khfiva , : let alone all of Battle Group Seven. : Here's my attempt to fill in the gaps: on the way to Sol Core, Durandal : realizes that there are humans in cryostasis on his newly-captured ship. : Time is of the essence, so there's no turning around; he could just drop : them off at Sol Core, but that isn't really their home. So after his : business at Sole Core concludes, Durandal begins heading back to Tau Ceti. : He gets there just in time to to see Pfhor vessels pummeling the shit out of : the colony. Durandal attempts to fight them off (doesn't seem in-character : for him to witness the colony's destruction and do nothing), but between : his lack of naval combat experience and the Pfhor's superior numbers, the : colony is lost. : That would be bad enough, but the Empire wants its ship back. Several vessels : break off from the Battle Group and give chase; it takes Durandal years : to completely shake them off his trail, and even then, that's far from the : only time he has to flee the Pfhor. Between evading capture, having to : stop for repairs (it's unlikely that he could make it from Tau Ceti to : Lh'owon without a few scrapes), and not having the best directions, it : takes Durandal almost two decades to finally reach the ancestral home of : the S'pht. : Somewhere along the way, Durandal has a few close calls with Battle Group : Seven ("close calls" as in "almost gets spotted", : which--as demonstrated in M2--is pretty much a death sentence); through : covert observation, this is how he learns of Admiral Tfear, and where he : starts to suspect that a certain brother of his has defected to the : Empire. His last attempt to shadow BG7 turns out to be a mistake--Tycho : notices the Boomer as it sneaks off, and infers that Durandal must be : heading to Lh'owon like he suggested years ago. The Boomer isn't yet at : Lh'owon when Tycho goes to intercept Durandal, but he makes sure to leave : a message... : -- : Some Inmortalitas-specific info, for anyone here who'd want to discuss it: : I'm not sure at what point in the timeline that the Security Officer was : meant to be taken (the Preview says that Durandal just immediately dumped : him in a cryo chamber after M1, but this isn't so much as alluded to in : the final M2); in Inm., Vince got ambushed and mortally wounded by the : still-living Pfhor Controller, and had to go into med-stasis. This was the : first time reality slapped Durandal in the face (his Security Officer : wasn't invincible); the second was the destruction of Tau Ceti IV (this : conflict was a lot more serious, and more was at stake, than Durandal : realized).
