In Response To: M2 --> Infinity (Martin Antell)

: I'm a bit confused, help me out please (actually I'm very confused by
: nature). When in time does the beginning of Infinity happen. I know you
: are on a Jjaro station somewhere and that Thoth sends you back in time to
: restore the balance or something like that, to stop the Trih Xeem from
: releasing the trapped W'rkncacnter. But according to the final screen in
: M2 everything ends peacefully and Blake and the crew returns to earth and
: you and Durandal travel on and returns to earth 10000 years afterwards. If
: the M2 final screen is true, then when does the W'rkncacnter escape? Does
: it take more than ten thousand years for it to escape or did the story in
: Infinity simply ignore the final screen and Infinity begins where M2 ends
: (before the final screen)? Hmmm...

I believe that Infinity is an alternate timeline--or, rather, a collection of alternate timelines--like an old dream...Notice that early on, you're working for Tycho, who tells you that he's had you in cold sleep for 17 years, not Durandal (I think, it's been a while). So in that timeline, you were taken from the Marathon by Tycho instead of Durandal. I believe that Infinity takes place mostly at the same time as M2, just in several different timelines, and eventually your job is to prevent the W'rkncacnter (sp?) from getting out.
