	In Response To: Re: Another MIDA coup? (Thoth Wannabe) : I forgot to explain that part. The plan would be put into effect after : Strauss is out of stasis. He would then release Durandal and allow him to : terrorize the ship for awhile. Strauss was not expecting the pfhor to show : up. Perhaps Durandal felt the only way he could escape the Marathon before : being sacrificed would be to call the Pfhor and hope that in the confusion : he could escape. When you think about it, why else would Strauss make : Durandal rampant (considerig that he made him rampant is true) I don't : think that Bernard is some sort of sadist that likes to torment computer : AIs :) Strauss' alleged inclinations toward sadistic behaviour, indeed the details of that behavior are alas never explained, silmply alluded too, but one assumes that he was simply on the quest for "the stable Rampant AI, the 'Holy Grail' of cybertonics" (Defend THIS/2). I'm going to start a thread on this very subject. : I never said the marines would kill civilians. In fact their job would be : exactly the opposite: protect BOBs and look like heroes. We really don't : know what the Marine thinks and whether he knows Strauss or not. In fact : it would be suacide to tell Durandal that he knows Strauss. Why suicide? Durandal is well aware that, at some point, Strauss had some interaction with the Marine. ("Strauss never dreamed of using you... he was scared of you, etc") Durandal : obviously doesn't like Strauss and its hard to predict how mad he would be : to find out the Marine worked for him. But he already knew that! Perhaps after all the chaos with : the pfhor, the marine simply abandons any MIDA coup and that part of the : story ends. Hmm. I'll have to think about that one. -gh
