In Response To: That Reminds Me... (Soapstone)

: I still don't understand how shutting down Durandal (in M2) would save him.
: How did he come back?

I thought we only destroyed Durandal's Core Logic centers. Didn't shutting the Core Logic centers of the Rampant computer in Oni (can't quite remember what it was called, exactly) make it threaten to self-destruct unless it had... feet? It doesn't seem that shutting those down can destroy an AI completely. Perhaps Durandal was just faking his own "death", and ordered you to destroy a part of himself that he could later rebuild. Or something like that.

But how could he have escaped?

In "Hang Brain", Tycho knew about Durandal's escape plan. Or part of it, anyway.

"If they pull his core, that pride bloated corpse will disgorge a thousand wriggling worms into the S'pht consciousness."

So Durandal manages to escape by replicating himself in the form of a thousand "worms" (viruses?). That's one theory, anyway. The Story page has another theory regarding Durandal's escape in M2 involving Robert Blake... it's in the "Facts and puzziling things about..." page on the leader of the humans himself.
