In Response To: Volunteers -- Bigger Guns (7revor Smith)

: The two "secret" rooms both needed to be grenade-hopped to.

In the version of Bigger Guns Nearby included with the Marathon: Resurrection beta, both of those rooms can easily be reached with the jump key. Blasphemy! :P

: In the last room, there is terminal about doors. Why doors? Is it because the

: translators? Am I making a big deal out of nothing?

The relevance of doors to the story has been covered in detail on the Story page... try the Durandal or Strauss sections.

I always thought that the compilers were just yanking chunks of data out of memory willy-nilly, and were getting pretty much random results. Sheer coincidence that when you interrupt them they are always reading something relevant to the game. ;)

Durandal managed to communicate with the S'pht later in the game, so I suppose the S'pht might be able to figure out English quickly. Of course, the idea that they have been in contact before opens up whole new cans of worms...
