In Response To: What kind of Chemical freak designed the MARAHTON? (Ernie TMBM)

: Indeed, my question isn't really all that relevant, but: Who (or what, if it
: was an A.I) designed one of Mars' moons inner hallways and architecture
: into what we know as the Marathon?

: I know I'm trying to rationalize something that also has giant flying
: robot-aliens (Juggernauts) and crazy wacked out computer A.I's... But hey.

: I just finished playing M1A1 (I have never played all the way through
: Marathon 1 before this... shame on me) and I've realized that for a colony
: ship, its design pretty much matches that of a insane deathtrap.
: Who in their *right mind* places an access terminal 100 feet into the air?
: Who, would contrive elaborate puzzles involving platforms and SHOOTING a
: switch to trigger them into action that is *10 meters + into the air*?

: I know Marathon is insanely great, but still. The design of Marathon makes
: *no* sense from a conventional standpoint.

: #:-)

: Any comments are welcome on this one.

: Woo wooo, I can't wait till that shoot-a-tick-andcrash-your-computer bug is
: fixed in Marathon... it gets hard to keep run away from them when your

This has been discussed before! Started with a post named "Who the hell would put lava on a spaceship?!"

Maybe the acces terminals up in the roof weren't meant to be used by humans, but by maintenance robots? Sort of like the defense drones, only instead of defending, they...access terminals? Maintained the shi's systems?

And as for the lava that is all around the spaceship, first of all I'm not sure it's lava (come on, if you have your eyes open while under it you can see just af it was water, and you can swim as if it was water....only you get hurt) but whatever it is, it's probably there because it was already inside the asteroid when they started building the Marathon, and they didn't remove it. Then at the Pfhor attack, it flooded some areas of the ship.
