That's right. My plumage is brighter than yours.

I created this thread with this in mind: throughout the Halo, Myth, and Marathon games, some similarities were included in those games, so why not make a thread to exploit those relations. I'll start off:

You may or may not have noticed, but 343 Guilty Spark (Halo) has a relationship with Bungie...As we all know, Bungie is known well for 7....yup. The number. 7. Definitley. Dont know why...anyways, I did my math with this, and found this: 343=7-to to the third power. Strange, eh? Post yours now!!

I think that Marathon, Pathways, and Halo are in the same universe, as for myth I wouldn't know, and I wonder about oni...

You'll find many similarities/references to and between marathon and Halo...

For Example
Marathon1= Mjolnr Mark IV
Halo = Mjolnr Mark V

I sure hope Myth is in a different universe...

And Oni probably is as well, considering how different the style is of the two games. Oni's style is inspired by Ghost in the Shell (an anime series), and Halo's is taken from the Alein movies (among other things).

My browser is screwy on Bungie.net nowadays, so I apologize if this
comes out unformatted.

People talk a lot about the PiD, Marathon, and Halo connections, but
you don't hear as much about how Myth fits in.
I don't have the time nor patience right now to write a long post on the
subect, but a couple of things I'd like to point out about Myth and Halo
connections are dates. You'll notice in Myth II: Chimera, the date is
2552 Acit El. Another good one is Wort. Wort backwards is Trow.
(a Myth unit) There are more like The Library in the city of Covenant
and the Watchers arm. . . almost too many to name.

Anyway, keep digging through the story pages and you'll find quite
a bit of links.

look, the dudes in marathon are forerunners(ancient people that buil Halo), they killed the dudes in the game which are the former covanents. ONI is an organization in Halo, like FBI or something. I don't know what myth is but chances are, they are all connected.

How did that come about? I'm not crapping on the idea or anything,
but how is "go" translated from "wort?" Trow made more sense to
me because the letters are the same. (unless it isn't spelled wort)

Off the subject of worts, There's a Myth-Marathon connection that
has to do with comets. Every thousand years in the Myth and
Marathon universes, there is a comet that passes through the
Milky Way galaxy and brings about a hero. If you look on the
Marathon timeline, there are events that happen every thousand
years starting in 1811, followed by Duranda'ls arrival at Lh'owon
in 2811, then ten thousand years later Durandal returns to Earth
in "The Swift Hand of God." The comet correlates with the S'pht
legends about the S'pht'kr returning after 1001 orbits or
something like that. That would mean that a Lh'owon year is
almost the same as an Earth year however, and that's not
very likely. (Unless the Marathon timeline isn't in B.C. and
A.D.) Any faithful Marathoners care to enlighten me on this?

WHOA! I just now figured something out!
Bungiematics:
2811-1001-1001-33=776
What does this have to do with anything you ask?
Well, 2811 is when Durandal arrives on Lh'owon, just in time
for the S'pht'kr to return from their expected 1001 year vacation.
If you subtract 1001 twice, (think the thousand year comet dealie)
you get 809. Nothing special, but if you subtract 33, you get
776. (the death of Count Roland) 33 is important because in
Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, 33 years is the
time it takes for the Eternal Hell to Revive! Who is the Eternal
Hell? THE SECURITY OFFICER!!!! (I have been Roland. . .)

I think I'm onto something here, but what do you guys think?

EDIT: It should be noted that The Marriage of Heaven and
Hell
is important because it is heavily alluded to in the
Cortana Letters.

What do I think? I think that it might be time to quote Sigmund Freud. Who was a very repressed individual who saw erotic overtones nearly everywhere. (It must have been all of the drugs combined with Victorian/Eduardian society) But even he said, "...sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

True, true, a cigar is a cigar. . . sometimes. I've been toying with
those timeline numbers so long I just got exited when something lined
up. It may be nothing, but it could be something. (although it's unlikely)

I may be beating a dead horse here, but let me say why I like this idea.
In the KYT unformatted terminal, the speaker begins with the name
Roland. Roland died in 776. (I've also read that he died in 777)
I think beginning with the name Roland has a purpose, and not just
to emphasize the connection between him and Durandal either.
I think it could be seen as a hint to the beginning of the Hero's
Eternal life. ("destiny" if you prefer =) So if the life of the immortal
begins in 777 with death, and the Hero goes to the afterlife.
Hell is implied because about midway through the terminal,
there are segments very similar to Dante's Purgatorio.
This is what reminds me of the Cortana Letters and the frequent
allusion to Blake. The passage from The Marriage of Heaven
and Hell reads "As a new heaven is begun, and it is now thirty-
three years since its advent: the Eternal Hell revives. And lo!
Swedenborg is the Angel sitting at the tomb!" It's interesting
that a new heaven is made because it correlates with the
allusion to genesis in the KYT terminal. 33 years later, the
new Hell comes, and the Hero is stuck in it. the added 33
years sets up the comet connection, because if you add
1001 years after that, you get 1811, the first time the comet
goes through the galaxy on the timeline. What bothers me
is the extra year on the thousand year intervals because
it screws with the dates. It's closer than anything else I've
come up with though!
