In Response To: Marathon timeline (Uriel)

: i think i've spotted a mistake in this section.

: it reads: 2886 M Leela's light-speed warning message reaches Earth

: well, this is based on what leela was thinking about the distance from earth
: to tau ceti(92 ly)

: but as described in the "distances" section: "Bungie knows
: where Tau Ceti is. It is the 24th closest star to Sol, at approximately
: 11.5 light years from Earth."
: - Nathan

: , the real distance is much shorter and thus, the message should have arrived
: earlier of course, ca. 2806.

: i hope, i didn't forget anything.

: Uriel

Yeah it probably got caught up in an infinite loop around pluto, probably an error in the source code of the game. Or in the sound file. Funny that you are talking about future years as if though they would have already happened. Oh well I guess some people are good a confusing years.
