Marathon 101

SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

In Response To: Re: Halo marine? (Guns and ammo)

: In what way is he a Phfucking cyborg!? Why the Phfuck
: does the combatsuit look like a Phfucking spacesuit
: for tanks in M:R!? Thats what I'd like to know.
The character from Marathon was indeed acting as a security officer. However there is a huge amount of evidence provided by various terminals throughout the game that he is in reality one of the 10 Mjolnir-class military cyborgs smuggled aboard the Marathon. Go to the Story page and check the "facts and puzzling things about... you" section for details.
As for the player being called a Marine: never happens once in the game itself. Gary Simmons claims the practice started on alt.games.marathon, others claim Doom as the source, others say that all shipboard troops are Marines by definition. But officially, the only reference to Marines is in the shape file.
