Jjaro Terminals in non-dream levels?
Posted By: ErnieDate: 7/28/02 10:25 a.m.

Would it be violating Marathon Canon if there were Jjaro terminals in non-dream levels that gave their cryptic messages to the player?

That, and since my scenario involves (for a couple of levels) running around on an abandoned Jjaro outpost world in Jjaro Citadels, would there be non-Jjaro info terms?
What I mean to say is that could there be simple left behind background information terminals (such as we see in every level... terminls that are not crucial to the gameplay, but provide interesting tidbits of information) that are Jjaro terminals?
How should they appear? S'pht like (with the shapecode with translation (look to your left, see what I mean), or something totally different.

It hasn't been done before has it? I know theres been directJjaro-player communication terms in the real-world in the Marathon Trilogy, but miscellaneous info terms by the Jjaro have always been in dreams.

How would I format/write a non-dream level misc. info Jjaro term?

I look forward to peoples resposes. :)
