This Day in Marathon.
Day #967. Bungie completes their Marathon foursome with a clip of the fourth level... Cryo Archive. Cryo Archive posted by Marathon (@MarathonTheGame) on x.com. January 13, 2026. Bungie writes: Glimpse into Cryo Archive, the first floor of the UESC Marathon.Interesting that Bungie describe Cryo Archive as the "first floor" of the UESC Marathon colony ship. In the original concept art for the UESC Marathon by Tom Hicks the functional areas were mapped out as sections: 
UESC Marathon (macro functions) by Tom Hicks originally posted on ArtStation. May 24, 2023.
While this is concept art created in the later half of 2022 the ship's overall shape hasn't changed much. Perhaps "first floor" is a throwback to The Library in Halo: Combat Evolved. ::shudder:: As the UESC Marathon colony ship was a generational ship the amount of space needed for cryo storage would have been small. The Marathon manual tells us: The original crew of the Marathon consisted of 50 Senior Staff, 1150 Officers, and 24,000 civilians all of whom were citizens of the Mars Colony or Earth. Some individuals were placed in stasis for the interstellar journey, but most civilians lived and worked on the ship and raised families there. As the crew aged, a new generation of humans were born and raised on the Marathon.Perhaps this has changed. Staying on the subject of the UESC Marathon colony ship we have the Old and Busted, and the New Hotness. New Hotness.  UESC Marathon (Marathon Reveal Cinematic Short screenshot). April 12, 2025. Old and Busted.  UESC Marathon (Marathon Reveal Cinematic Short still). April 12, 2025. So why do we leave the Sol system in the Old and Busted?
