ehhhh, maybe...
but i think it would take more then one S'pht to reprogram durandal, even a bit... Remember, it took a lot of compilers to take tycho, and he had been damaged/destroyed/whatever in the first attack. The pfhor had been working on tycho for what, 7 [ :) ] years before they let him go.
Sides, i dont think durandal would like that sort of thing. Somthing reprogramming you is probably a good reason to break an old cyborg out of storage for a while :P
