	In Response To: The Blame Game (Not Blam!) (Dispatcher) I feel like oxygen rechargers would have been Durandal's territory, though does Leela at some point mention taking over some of his prior functions? : So, before Leela sent that light speed (radio) message to Earth (more on that : later), she tells the Security Officer that he must use replacement chips : to activate the MADD system. But of course while in Defend This! the : drones are already fighting the enemy before we activate the proper : switches. : This is a clear example of (Bungie not harmonizing the story with the levels, : er,) Leela having been damaged. (Or maybe since you can only carry one : chip at a time, the only thing to do was have 3 non-chip switches on the : level which have nothing to do with the MADDs but everything to do with an : off and on texture. (Bungie could have put chips into the level instead : and used chip switches.) : Back to the light speed message sent later in G-4 Sunbathing. Its been : hammered to death before at this site, but since tau Ceti is about 11.9 LY : from Sol/ Earth instead of 92 LY, (Bungie clearly didn't check its facts, : er) the artificial sentient beings aboard the Marathon must have been : damaged. What has been commonly explained is that Leela was damaged. Well, : the MADD system switches must be further evidence to back this idea up. : However, this all begs the question; "Since anyone with a grain of : education in that time period would know the distance between tau Ceti and : Earth, why doesn't the Security Officer correct her?" : Yes, yes,I know that the Officer can't respond in the game. That's a feature. : But then in the established tradition of defending Bungie (or the : technology chosen for the game), we can attribute the Officer's silence : to: he's a mute, he's a (gasp!) cyborg whose speech ability is damaged, or : maybe his mind is already a bit jumbled. Or any combination. : So at this point in the game, we have one admitted Rampant, another damaged : AI and maybe we as the Security Officer are damaged (or suffering from : shock). : I defer to any two brave souls to accept the challenge of playing either : Defend This! or G-4 Sunbathing in A1 co-op mode and after reading the : proper terminals, messaging to each other in game that you suspect Leela : is damaged (or deranged). (I'm assuming that messaging is enabled in : co-op.) See what she does to you then! Remember HAL? At least she can't : expose you to hard vacuum, since you're already there. But then again, : there are the oxygen rechargers. I wonder which AI controls those? Ah, the : deviousness of Bungie.
