Well, Rubicon dealt with all out war - but on Pfhor prime. It is a little hard to believe that we could take them down so easily, although the manual suggests that the war had been going on for years.
What if the Pfhor brought the war to Earth. I know that there is a whole Marathon Earth series, but this is entirely different. This would be a war on, what, 26th century Earth. with new, much more powerful Pfhor weapons, and something even scarrier - enslaved humans. I'm not talking about simulcrums, but cybernetic humans who are used against humankind. OK, this sounds a lot like the Borg in Startrek, I know, but it would still be cool for Marathon 4.
