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
: more comprehensible by labeling the various timelines. I haven't seen any
: commonly-used system of terminology so forth, so I'll just number them.
:
: --Timeline 0: The timeline of the Infinity manual intro. (It may be identical
: with Timeline 2, since there's no explicit conflicting info. But so many
: important events and characters are unmentioned in Tfear's recap that I
: think this is most likely a distinct timeline. This is the Pfhor
: "best case scenario," with Durandal being comparatively easily
: defeated before he has a chance to do much of anything.)

: --Timeline 1: Contains all of Marathon 2 and Ne Cede Malis.

: --Timeline 2: Contains Acme Station through Thing What Kicks..., and Carroll
: Street Station.

: --Timeline 3: Contains Rise Robot Rise through Confound Delivery, and Aie Mak
: Sicur.

: --Timeline 4: Contains Rise Robot Rise, possibly Poor Yorick, Naw Man He's
: Close through Hang Brain, and You're Wormfood, Dude.

: --Timeline 5: Contains Rise Robot Rise, possibly poor Yorick, Naw Man He's
: Close, Foe Hammer, and By Committee through Aye Mak Sicur and the final
: screen.

Where does the M2 end screen fit into this? Analyzations of the timelines in infinity usually stick Ne Cede Malis at the end of M2, but the events that take place in Ne Cede Malis (i.e.,the W'rkncacnter (yay I spelt it right!) getting loose and everyone dying horribly) clearly contradict what's supposed to happen after M2. Maybe it would be easier to place Ne Cede Malis after All Roads Lead to Sol as an alternative timeline, with the M2 end screen as a different branch.
