: Yes, yes... Possibly...

: Take a closer look at those terminals, though.
: "Well, there was this knife, more aptly described as a broadsword, and
: I see, well, I was swinging down the street on my way to a movie and this
: guy, yeah. He was about six foot eight and huge. He was holding this
: knife, only to me, I would describe it as a broadsword, something from the
: Knights of the Round. Before he can even open his mouth, he collapses.
: Meanwhile, I can barely lift a finger to put the toupee back on his glossy
: head because I'm shaking so much.

: He was vomiting and I knew that he was alive because he kept saying something
: like 'durability' between convulsions. What happened next was really
: bizarre. Both ends of the street flood with black-suited men, just like in
: a movie.

: These men look tough and pissed off, the eyes behind their sunglasses are
: probably cold as my hands are getting. I feel like my heart has stopped,
: I'm so damn scared. As they start to inundate the street in black, they
: move with one will.

: I figure that I'm dead anyway, so I reach down for the blade. The blade is
: being covered by his vomit, but the hilt is clean. I can hear the men
: getting excited, but I can't stop. My fingers slide around the leather
: hilt which is oddly cold... "

: I think a more interesting question is, who is the man who gives you the
: knife? What does he represent? There's a sort of odd mentor-hero thing
: going on here, with the passing of the knife from the nameless giant to
: you, at his death. Immediately after he falls, the men in black come.
: Which would suggest they had something to do with it...
I don't know, I just thought he was one of them. Perhapse he represents Tycho, who we did work for previously, and who was fighting for "evil", and was wounded by Durandal.
: I'm really quite unsure about this, but I'm pretty sure that the knife is not
: representative of Durandal. We've just been working for Tycho, remember?
: We definately haven't been working for the good guys. Yet we are handed
: the knife, and we use it against the men in black, who, presumably, want
: to kill us. Why?

: Perhaps the knife is more represenative of, uh... Something else. Nothing I
: can think of quite fits. Does it represent our newly-found powers of
: reality-skipping, which we're using for the first time in this place?
Yes, I was thinking the same thing, but it's still difficult to ignor the whole Knife-sword-Durandal connection.

: I like the idea of the 'movie' being your original goal of skipping off and
: looking for a rogue star. But, remember, we visit the movie theatre later,
: with our 'girlfriend', (Who is an entire discussion in herself, so I won't
: touch on her meaning more than briefly) And we certainly never got to that
: rogue star.

: And you'll note that, when we get to the movie theatre with our girlfriend,
: the giant is there, but he's wearing the same clothes as the men in
: black...
Whoa whoa whoa, lets not get ahaed of ourselves

: Anyway, that's enough random, unwarranted speculation for now. I'll wait for
: the next installment to post more madness. :D
