This Day in Marathon.

Day #702.

And so it begins...

In the menu where you establish a link with CyberAcme there's a video that plays as an AI named ONI guides you through reorientation.

This connection comes from the terminal 9.42.857.10



This terminal is the same one reached at the very end of the level Blaspheme Quarantine in which you are kidnapped by durandal and forced to fight through his "game".

I think this might indicate that CyberAcme might be onboard/operating from the Marathon already
You can see the Blaspheme Quarantine terminal here.

It's the one where Leela establishes contact with you and sends you off to rescue a security detachment (aka BoBs).

If you see a terminal with this number <33.6792.23.91> I suggest you... RUN.

Marathon...


Marathon VOID

...be like...

Visceral is probably the word you are looking for.

It it did we would all be playing a MATURE rated game.

On the subject of VOID.

Btw anyone who enjoys Marathons story really should read the Destination: Void books. Marathon probably owes more then a little to them.

Frank Herbert's Destination: Void. First edition June 1966, Berkley.

For years people have been writing in saying that Marathon was influenced by Frank Herbert's Destination: Void, the first of four novels in his Pandora Sequence series. First published in June 1966.

In truth it was first published a year earlier in Galaxy Magazine (August 1965), under the title Do I Wake or Dream?


Frank Herbert's Do I Wake Or Dream. Galaxy Magazine (August 1965).

I mean you couldn't make this stuff up if you tried.

Part of the story relates how:
In the future, mankind has tried to develop artificial intelligence, succeeding only once, and then disastrously. A transmission from the project site on an island in the Puget Sound, "Rogue consciousness!", was followed by slaughter and destruction, culminating in the island vanishing from the face of the earth.
I know... a vanishing colony and all that.

The Frank Herbert estate remains silent... for now.
