: Came across this thread on r/Marathon that y'all might find interesting;
: among other things, there's the suggestion that it wasn't just Durandal
: that got experimented on, but Leela and Tycho as well, and that the three
: of them represented the stages of Rampancy (Melancholia for Leela, Anger
: for Tycho, and Envy for Durandal).
There's a few holes in that theory. If MIDA believed in defending humanity against rampant AIs, why did Bernhard Strauss (a MIDA agent) try to make one? Well, maybe truth is stranger than fiction, what with all of PETA's euthanized animals.
