In Response To: Actual story discussion! (Forrest of B.org)

: In the last terminal of Marathon 2, Durandal calls the Nahk the "last
: extant client race of the Jjaro".
"Extant" as I've understood it has mean "existing outside of slavery. Eg., there are only about 30 extant Koala bears left in China, to use it in a sentance - 30 left in freedom outside of zoos.
: If we go with the prevailing theory that the S'pht were also a Jjaro client
: race, then... wtf? Do the S'pht not count as existing, or what?
Aside from the hidden S'pht'kr, which I believe were hidden from Pfhor awareness somehow, yes, the S'pht did exist, but they weren't extant - indeed, among the most heavily (cybernetically) controlled.
: On a related note - the Drinniol revolt was apparently the worst slave revolt
: in Pfhor history, and was put down by the trih xeem. So why do the
: Drinniol still exist in slavery, when the Nahk were apparently
: exterminated?
Here I'd say the Nahk, if they retreated to a single system or world, could easily have been entiry wiped out by a single trih xeem. If, however, the Drinniol were more spread out, a trih xeem may have eliminated their core, but still allowed some survivors.
I've always wondered - could the Drinniol/Hulks and the Wasps have some from the same planet/ecosystem? They each share a single eye, after all.
: Am I forgetting anyone here?
Hmm... those little bomb dudes from M1... the flying bomb things from m2/3... and they were semi-official, but the "Armageddon Beast" and the "Other snakey-like dude."
