The fact that there are nine other cyborgs who save the colony makes the game even more elegant, even if you are the only one who actualy does anything in the game, the story does its best to show you aren't "The One™". > Bungie likes their games to make sense.

I have one problem with this. I wasn't really impressed with the marathon marines mental abilities, he always seemed like a strong silent type to me, and never showed any sign of imagination. Technology probably has come very far since then but he seemed alittle dim. Desio
