Durandal wants us to push some buttons. What a surprise! On the other hand, there's cyborgs, but no oxygen.

Another secret level where we can gather weapons and ammo, but not quite so simple (or as empty) as the previous ones.

Are we awake, or are we dreaming? What's up with these invisible S'pht'kr that probably shouldn't even be here? Who's the guy with the knife? These and many more unanswered questions in yet another "dream" level of Marathon Infinity.

In between each of Marathon Infinity's many timelines lie the dream levels. This is one of several to come: Electric Sheep One. This level exits to level 11, Electric Sheep Two, skipping over a number of difficult levels, and to Where Monsters Are In Dreams, another dream level that exits to (gulp) Acme Station.

In this timeline, Thoth hasn't been (won't be?) will have been being activated. So Tycho wants us to go take a look at him. On the way we meet some old friends who are our new enemies.

Tycho has sent us down to the ghost planet Lh'owon to break some panels and fight some Flick'ta. Thankfully we won't be alone as he's sent along some helpful Hunters.

Up is down, and down is up. Troopers and Hunters are our friends! Cats and dogs, living together... mass hysteria! Blackstar and Narcogen muddle their way through a level rife with secrets en route to two switches.

Things are not as they seem! Or as they seemed, it seems. Instead of victorious and triumphant, Durandal is scared out of his considerable wits. Instead of defeated, dead, or both, Tycho is alive. Instead of propping our feet up by the fire and enjoying a hot cocoa, the Security Officer is once again trying to find out where he is and why. Behind it all lurks the chaotic evil of the W'rk... the W'rk... somethingorother.

This is it, the last level of Marathon 2: Durandal! Blackstar and Narcogen will try to use chea... I mean, the special nature of network cooperative play to both view the secret credit terminal and complete the level, which is normally almost impossible in solo play at normal difficulty or above. After a short break, we'll be back with Marathon Infinity-- until then enjoy the Minecraft: Build the Marathon series at OSXCoopGames.net!

In the penultimate level of Marathon 2, Blackstar and Narcogen are beseiged by Hunters and Cyborgs of the Mother of All variety, and the Sph't'Kr are about as harmful as the are helpful.

If God protects fools and drunks, it's time to start drinking, since it seems rampant AIs in Pfhor attack ships are taking out all the fools. Blackstar and Narcogen have some watery fun in the fun house of explosive BoBs, broken doors and angry S'pht defenders that is Fatum Iustum Stultorum.

A level for a cyborg who deserved a requiem mass, but never got one. Also, plenty of troopers, compilers, pink slime, hidden weapons, secret terminals, and more classified advertisement-- just what any modern FPS needs!

The long dormant S'pht AI tells us that what needs to be done is clear. In a pig's eye! Unless what he means is shoot stuff and push buttons, because we would have done that without being told. Add to that some truly epic tele-bogarting of the shield recharge by Narcogen and some revenge from Blackstar and you have the latest episode of Let's Play Marathon 2, level 24.

A pit of exploding BoBs. Hunters teleporting into your back pocket. A computer terminal submerged in lava, containing only three classified advertisements. What's not to like?
