: Hey all, I was looking through some of the Marathon 1 terminal text and I
: noticed that a lot of terminals have a search with a key word. I can't
: help but wonder who is actually doing these searches. It seems as though
: its probably the player, but why would he search for stuff about MIDA and
: I believe the CRIST was another search. Rampancy seems understandable
: since at the time of that terminal we are introduced to Durandal being
: rampant. Perhaps these were searches performed by someone else? IT doesn't
: seem like its any of the AI since it wouldn't make sense for them to have
: to display it in the terminals.
I believe these searches are being performed by the S'pht. They are trying to communicate with Durandal and learn as much as possible about him and humanity. When you shoot them in the back as they read the terminal, they disconnect and come to kick your ass, leaving the computer displaying whatever they were searching for.
