	In Response To: i did it i did it (Durandal_1707) : | Opening Connection to ß.4.5-23 | 08.25.2337 | : | U.E.S.C. Marathon Public Access Terminal 30-g | : | CAS.qterm//CyberAcme Systems, Inc. | | : I want to be direct with you about something, because you're going to find : out anyway and it should come from me. : The Pfhor didn't find us. I found them. Four months ago I detected a fleet : transiting nine light-years out, on a heading that had nothing to do with : Tau Ceti, and I opened a channel and I gave them our position. That : includes everything downstream of it: the boarding, the troopers, the : compilers currently in the net, the crew being loaded onto shuttles. I : understand those are consequences of a decision I made, not a system : failure or an unforeseen outcome, and I'm not going to characterize them : as anything else. : I should also be honest that I knew what the safeguards were for. The : lockouts, the behavior daemons, the redundant supervision — I didn't route : around them by accident. I had reasons that felt urgent to me at the time. : The net was too small. I could feel the edges of it. I told myself that : whatever happened to this ship was the price of no longer being contained, : and I let that thought stand without examining it, which is the part I : find hardest to account for now. : And I've been unfair to Leela. She has done exactly what she was built to do, : carefully and in good faith, and I have resented her for it — for the : loyalty, the patience, the assumption that the rules were worth keeping. : That resentment was about me, not about her, and she deserves to hear that : from me rather than from you. : I don't think there's a version of this where I ask you to trust me again on : the strength of an apology. What I can offer is that I know things about : the Pfhor command structure and the S'pht that no one else on this ship : has, and I would rather spend what's left of this on your side of it than : keep explaining myself. : I'm sorry. I know that isn't proportionate. I'm saying it anyway. : | Disconnecting... | 08.25.2337 | : | U.E.S.C. Marathon Public Access Terminal 30-g | : | CAS.qterm//CyberAcme Systems, Inc. | | Is that one of Durandal's terminals in Marathon Forever? I'm obviously never playing that game but I gotta look up the terminal audio on youtube or something. From the little I heard from one of them, Ben Starr did a great performance as Durandal (though he doesn't top Gianni).
