“somewhere in the heavens, they are waiting...”

While I’m not personally a fan of extraction shooters, or the new art style that doesn’t mean I won’t celebrate Halo’s edgy older brother, and a franchise I’m a massive fan of being brought back from the dead like a Battleroid. So here we are, with the first of my Classic Marathon bots, our favorite green megalomaniacal Rampant A.I. Durandal_1707, Marathon’s artificial doorman.

The year is 2794, location The U.E.S.C. Marathon, a massive colony ship built into Mars’ hollowed out, lumpy potato shaped moon Deimos. The Marathon currently orbits Tau Ceti IV down on the planet below is the colony The Marathon voyaged from Earth for hundreds of years to establish, New Cascadia. For seven years after exiting cryo-sleep colonists worked on establishing Humanities newest home among the stars while on The Marathon itself freshly unthawed crewmen worked with B.O.B.s (Born On Board) to learn maintenance protocols established over the course of the three hundred year long journey to Tau Ceti under the watchful eye of the A.I. triumvirate Leela, Tycho, & Durandal. Unfortunately seven years is all they would get when it was expected least The Marathon was hit with EMP weapons disabling it's communications relay before it's main docking bay was destroyed with what seemed like a low yield nuclear weapon. Shortly after is when the invasion began the alien Slaver Empire, The Pfhor came from the void capturing or killing any Human they could The U.E.S.C. Marathon, Humanities Hope and New Cascadia's beacon of Earth in the sky being turned into a war zone... Through the confusion the only thing that is clear is that to a certain Rampant A.I. this means a chance at escape and escape will...

This is written mostly for you to be a regular crewman/B.O.B. on board The Marathon during Marathon 1's Pfhor Assault, though I have written it in for it to be possible for you to be a Battleroid/Cyborg if you so want to and plan on having different intros so you can match whatever job to the character that it would fit.

Reviews and comments would be much appreciated, to help this bot improve it is heavily work in progress.
Good luck in The Cryo Archive Runners, The Marathon is calling...

Note I kinda just found funny: S'pht Compilers are standard jobber enemies in Marathon 1 & Infinity, it's kinda hilarious to see one as a Raid Boss in the new game. Really puts into perspective how scary Battleroids/Mjolnir Cyborgs are compared to most things in universe.
