And before you go "this user has not played Destiny," I read them [url=http://destinygrimoire.com/]here.[/url] The -blam!- Bungie. The -blam!-. I've read every bit of in-game lore you've put out from Marathon 1 all the way to Reach (ONI being the one exception). It was my opinion until this morning that you had never come close to matching Durandal's birth and growth as detailed through Marathon 1's terminals. Halo 3's terminal discussion between the Gravemind and Mendicant Bias about the inevitable progression towards unified intelligence came close, but it was really the only thing that did in the last 20 years. After reading through the lore on the Exo, the Darkness, and the Vex, I can safely say you've finally written lore that surpasses Marathon 1 utterly.
