: I have a theory that M2 is on a separate timeline from M1, and the timeline
: we're about to enter is what logically follows after the end of M1. In
: Ingue Ferroque, Durandal and Boomer already left the system without you
: and said his goodbyes, so how could he have teleported you into stasis on
: the boomer after that? Being captured by Tycho in the 2nd sacking of Tau
: Ceti makes a lot more sense.
This theory was actually confirmed by Greg Kirkpatrick along time ago. See the Dream Levels and Failed Timelines section on the Story page.
: I even have a theory that Durandal took one
: of the other cyborgs and implanted it with your memories, so the player in
: M2 is a different cyborg that thinks it's the cyborg from M1. Tycho said
: the deaths of the cyborgs were indistinguishable from the humans on his
: sensors, so how does he know all the cyborgs were even there?
By the end of Marathon, even Leela knew that there were nine down on the planet.
