In Response To: MARATHON RIDDLE (Alfred Mordeir)

: This one should be tough,

: I should be red, alas I'm yellow.

Some of the Pfhor-controlled drones have red eyes, but all the ones taken over by Durandal in Marathon 2 have them changed to yellow in the color table.

: I come from all sides.

A quick dash into Nuke and Pave confirms that many of the battles are set up that way in Forge, to say nothing of the ambush if you're too careless at the beginning of Waterloo Waterpark.

: I am the tool of the tool,

Durandal, being Roland's sword, might also be called a "tool."

: servant to the masters,

I assume this refers to their past with the Pfhor.

: and fist of the righteous

Well, the yellow ones are being used to fight for the deserved freedom of the S'pht.

: raining down fire, though I did not always do so.

Before the player landed, they were being used as workers, and recently to repair the damage from Durandal's orbital bombardment.

: what am I?

Assimilated Pfhor defense drones.

: I'll need as specific an answer as possible, and of course a full
: explanation.
: Hint: the answer definately is NOT the Nar, OR IS IT?

The Nar, as well as Durandal, tried taking over the Pfhor drones at one point. Also, the ones shown in the "Curiouser and Curiouser" terminal pict with the Nar had red eyes.
