	In Response To: M1-A1 Weid story questions.... (Ernie TMBM) Well, here's my take on the connected Bungie universe. The Marathon marine is a reanimated / preserved / what have you version of the PiD marine, augmented with the most recent Battleroid cybernetics and Jjaro undergarments. The Mjolnir Mark IVs are all preserved versions of Earth's greatest soldiers; you, having single-handedly fought through a sleeping Wr'crknrtor's minions, are one of them. The whole PiD exit is a flashback dream of the marine's former life right before he starts. "Oddly , this is familiar to you, as if it were from an old dream, but you can't exactly remember..." Theocracity : Hey all.... : After leaving the M1-A1 to download and going off for a pre christmas dinner, : I came back 4 hours later to find the 50 meg file downloaded. : Yea! I thought, I can now play marathon again without having it be unbearably : slow (compared to M2 and Minf...). : After I started Alpheone up.... and went to new game.... : I appeared in what looked like a PiD level. wtf? : Shoot me if I'm wrong, but was that always there? After being horribly : confused for a while and wandering around... (it like the player was in a : dream...) I found my way to an exit... and wound up in the Marathon. : I'm really confused. Really. Why did the developers of M1A1 put that PiD like : entrance to 'Arrival'? Are they trying to achieve that surreal : I-dont-know-if-its-a-dream-or-reality feeling of Marathon Infinity? : Just a side techinal note.... I ran M1A1 using the Latest version of Alphe : One... and played at 3 frams/sec. Im running a Powermac 6500/250 with 64 : megs of ram. I just found it funny that the M1A1 team was able to emulate : the Marathon 1 experience right down to the speed I use to play it at back : in 1995 on my dads Color Classic. :D : (I got the issue solved (kinda) by using a older version of A1... but still.. : why the slowdown?) : -Ernie TMBM
