Regarding final words of Marathon: Infinity (Destiny)

But I think what it boils down to is that you have at least one of the people (Jones) who was working on the Marathon lore back in the day working on Destiny, so there end up being some similar ideas. Whether we want to envision these as a consistent thread through some reboot of the universe, I don't know that it matters. When they first announced the title, I was wondering how much of a connection there might be, but at this point, I'm not sure that it's any more than references, just like with Halo.

I remember reading a while back somewhere (can't remember the author, or find the page) the theory that the final screen in Infinity is Durandal breaking the fourth wall and recognizing you, the player at the keyboard, as the driving force of agency in Marathon's story. Interesting thought that these board posts remind me of a little.

I said it elsewhere in this thread, but I'm pretty certain the title 'Destiny' is more an echo of intention rather than something to actually build theory on. Still fun to come up with the theories though.
