In Response To: Re: mysterious start-location (Hamish Sinclair)

: I never said the player teleports from the Pod since there is no evidence for
: this. Indeed the manual states: "Judging it safe, you thrust over to
: one of the empty MP docking bays. You pull out your pistol, and pound the
: switch to open the door."

: So the player exits the Pod via the door and makes it over to the airlock and
: the game starts. He can't use the main hangar door because the bay has
: been decompressed.

: Cheers
: Hamish

Man, I should have saved that reply!

Anyway if Bungie had know people will be still discussing the plot after so many years, they would have been more careful explaining how the player gets into the Marathon.

But the fact we're discussing it several years later shows how good, despite minor flaws like this, the Marathon plot was and still is.
