In Response To: Rubicon Volunteers - Like Flies on a Corpse (Steve Levinson)

Some more term picts to analyze:


Now this is different. Since when does Tycho have a human face? In fact, he looks like an assimilated Bob, complete with a cybernetic eye implant. In this case I was curious enough to ask Scott what the Rubicon team had in mind when they did this. Here is his answer:

Actually, that's a distorted version of a piece of the M2 "Simulacrums" chapter screen. The Tycho the player talks to for most of the game is, in essence, a simulacrum, a fake front that hides the real deadly potential of what is the original Tycho construct from the Marathon.

And there is a hexidecimal string that I failed to mention before, but now that Scott and Chris have challended us to decode these things, I just couldn’t resist ;-) (I’ve taken the liberty of deleting line numbers and blank lines, which contribute nothing in this particular case):

Which translates to:

chimera scott brow, chris lund, jeff swartz. Sean's mom is a hoochie. So is nardo :) hey bungie- scott needs a job. scott@atomica.net

Hey Scott- Max Lieberman did a little work for this project too, didn't he? Sure, he took forever to do the script, but it's still good, isn't it? Scott? Scott...?

So Bungie, will you give Scott a job? Scott, do you really want a job working for Micro$loth? Scott, did Max Lieberman do a good job?
