Hanger 96's seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses...

I was poking around the Marathon story page, and I ran into this again. Which reminded me that I still have no -blam!- clue what's up with the whole Hanger 96 story. Anyone have any ideas? [quote][url=http://marathon.bungie.org/Story/]Seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses float inconspicuously around the inside of hangar ninety six. I say that they are inconspicuous because it is their arms and legs which demand my attention. I did this, or I could have stopped it. Which is it? It doesn't matter now. I did this and could have stopped it, but nothing in nature ever follows a gaussian curve. Sure, they'll tell you that it does. They say that every five minutes someone dies in a car accident, but how often are there seven hundred and sixty one armless and legless corpses in one hangar?[/url][/quote]By the way, this is freaking awesome: "You might also want to spend a few seconds thinking about explosions and small spaces."

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] un gato Wow. I get the impression that you've told this to other people before, Sardonic.[/quote]Thanks, I'm just a fan who enjoys delving deep into the complex universes that Bungie creates. Admittedly, I'm more knowledgeable of Myth than Marathon. [quote]That still doesn't take into account several things, though: what about the sword he carries? Is that a reference to Durandal, as Durandal is generally the one telling him to kill? Why men in suits, specifically? The enemies he has killed are pretty varied, but representing them as men in suits makes the quite monotone.[/quote]In an attempt to remain as brief as possible, I focused solely on the terms that dealt specifically with Hangar 96. However, the third piece of the Hangar 96 story does reference the other story found in Infinity's dream terminals; namely the story of the knife, black-suited men, and durability. This means that the two stories are likely connected and I do believe that both stories are told from the point of view of the SO. In my first post, I really only scratched the surface of Infinity's dream levels. I could put a hypothesis together concerning the rest of the dream terminals, but it could take a while. The best place to learn even more about these and other Marathon levels from people who have spent far more time thinking about it than me is the [url=http://marathon.bungie.org/story/volunteersseries.html][u]Volunteers page[/u][/url] of the Marathon Story Page. It was only after reading that page that I really started to understand the events of Marathon Infinity. Edit: By the way, great thread. The Underground has been lacking good Old School story topics lately. [Edited on 09.09.2007 8:31 PM PDT]
