In Response To: Re: You and Durandal (Killing Time)
: The term "pattern buffer" is originally from Star Trek. It's the
: part of the transporter that records the structure of the transportee so
: he/she/it can be reassembled properly. I assumed that the Marathon pattern
: buffers were similarly associated with the ship's teleporters, and when
: you restore a saved game the player is actually being put back together by
: the teleporters according to the most up-to-date instructions from the
: pattern buffer system.
Then why don't teleporters and terminals have the capacity to save your game?
