In Response To: Dream Terminal Thoughts (SiliconDream =PN=) : Shoulda done this for my earlier posts, but I'd like to make this post a bit
: --Timeline 1: Contains all of Marathon 2 and Ne Cede Malis. : --Timeline 2: Contains Acme Station through Thing What Kicks..., and Carroll
: --Timeline 3: Contains Rise Robot Rise through Confound Delivery, and Aie Mak
: --Timeline 4: Contains Rise Robot Rise, possibly Poor Yorick, Naw Man He's
: --Timeline 5: Contains Rise Robot Rise, possibly poor Yorick, Naw Man He's
Personally, I don't like the "timelines" idea. When I looked at the Infinity universe, I saw the Marathon Universe in chaos, conflicting and contradicting itself. The future changing the past. The past being the future... I think that Infinity isn't linked by "timelines". What's happening to the marine is that he is being warped (by Jjaro implants, I assume) back and forth in time, with events and history itself being altered as you go. It's not a completely different universe... rather, it's ONE universe following the W'r monster's rules. "It was as if the universe had forgotten its own rules." :
Let's put it this way, the W'r monster's unleashed... little things start changing. After M2, we takes out the 723rd Aggressor Squadron. Then, Durandal evades the Trih'xeem and we're home free. But wait... in the manual, Battle Group Seven TRAPS Durandal in an undetected station (the Jjaro oupost in Ne Cede Malis?) and deploys the Trih'xeem, and Durandal's warning the Pfhor of an "ancient chaotic being being trapped deep in the Lh'owon sun". And in Ne Cede Malis, Durandal is acting out of character, tells the player that he slaughtered the naval garrison and the western arm of Battle Group Seven... and he thought that the Trih'xeem was retired. According to Durandal, Tycho hesitated to use the Trih'xeem. What's more, Tycho is still alive. When we get to Rise Robot Rise Durandal never kidnapped you, your weapons have been taken by the Pfhor for their own research (my only guess), and you are now Tycho's servant. I believe that this is the theme of Infinity. It's not an alternate universe plot, but one universe in chaos, ever changing, now a never-ending dream. A dream that always ends as a nightmare... unless the player can do something about it. : Timelines 1 and 2 diverge from Timelines 3, 4, and 5 just after the end of
: Timeline 1 diverges from Timeline 2 at least a few years before Durandal
: Timeline 3 diverges from Timelines 4 and 5 during or just before Poor Yorick.
: Timeline 4 diverges from Timeline 5 just before Hang Brain. In Timeline 4,
