i don't know if this counts as beating a dead horse, but i think i might have some evidence that durandal is/was/will be traxus iv. in the "slings and arrows" level of marathon 2, durandal says:

Yet I cannot think of any better way I
could have served humanity: Tau Ceti's
sacrifice bought time for Earth, which the
Pfhor are even now planning to invade.
What would have happened if the Pfhor had
found Sol first?. By Pfhor standards, Earth
is a poorly defended low technology world,
populated by billions of potential slaves.

note his wording: Earth is populated by billions of potential slaves. he doesn't mention mars! in fact, as far as i can tell, mars isn't mentioned once in either marathon 2 or infinity (when durandal is the one in control). if, indeed, durandal was traxus iv, and his being was wiped following his defeat, would he have any memory of being on mars, or even of mars' existence? a heavy assumption to make, i understand, but maybe it's possible. your thoughts, please?
