The answer to the lava & switch questions!
Posted By: The Tiny ToadDate: 5/25/01 1:45 p.m.

It seems a lot of people have been discussing how unrealistic it is that there are switches way out of reach in the ceiling, and lava floating around everywhere on the marathon. I just felt I had to say:

About the switches: What makes everyone think the switches were intended to be flipped by humans? I mean, a ship that has an AI system for opening doors.. The crew is simply too lazy to do stuff themselves. Probably there were some kind of maintenance bots on the Marathon, that could easily float up to the ceiling and punch switches.

The lava: As you will see if you look at it, the lava was obviously not there in the first place. I mean, why woukd they have elevators or stairs going down into lava baths?! And why would they build rooms with doorways and long passages, only to fill it all up with lava?! Of course the lava (which probably isn't even lava) has poured in there from some chamber or something somewhere during the pfhor attacks.

I know everyone has said this before but I wanted to say it again.
