: So what if MIDA's mission was to ensure Earth's survival, by any means
: necessary? To survive in a hostile universe, you need guns at least as big
: as the next man's. So Durandal's mission could have been this: 1: SEEK OUT
: AND CONTACT ANY EXTRATERRESTRIAL SPECIES
: 2: SUBVERT AND SEQUESTRATE ANY EXAMPLES OF >EARTH TECHNOLOGY
: 3: RETURN THIS TECHNOLOGY TO EARTH.
Now that's actually kind of interesting. Perhaps Durandal never had the "Freedom" he thought himself to have, and it was all just a front. Durandal *does* seem a little too..helpful to humanity. Yes, he's helping the S'pht... But they're the backbone of the Pfhor war effort. And in doing so, he destroys two of the Pfhor's mighty battlefleets and cripples them, bringing in an hostile technologically advanced race capable of helping humanity.
Perhaps Durandal's insanity was merely a cover, for the rest of the world,and maybe even himself. Something to think about.
