marathon spoilers if youre specifically avoiding codex entries for the compiler trace
and spoilers for infinity as well
Compiler trace just being a retelling of the s'pht backstory from marathon 2 is a really smart way to implement that information into the new game
HOWEVER
a big detail that stands out to me, in the third entry:
"orbits we spun dreams into tangible reality; dreams that vibrated as the tide ordained; for pthia; for lh'owon; beyond self; we give thanks; to the tide; for the phtia; we serve the ebb and the floworbits we spun dreams into tangible reality; dreams that vibrated as the tide ordained; for pthia; for lh'owon; beyond self; we give thanks; to the tide; for the phtia; we serve the ebb and the flow"
specific references too pthia, no mention of yrro, and mentions of waves and dreams, and the most interesting to me specfically is the wording "the" pthia
in my infinity replay i formed a theory about pthia and yrro
the themes of duality within infinity and with thoth made me wonder, is pthia meant to be the s'pht's term for the w'rkncacnter?
the strongest point being the terminals in aye mac sicur, the last level of marathon infinity
the first is a message from thoth-durandal, has the word "doubt" associated with the w'rkcacnter, and then in another terminal in AMS, one that seems to be from yrro himself:
seemingly pretty strongly drawing the pthia/yrro and w'rkcacnter/jjaro parallels, as well as using the term "doubt" in relation to her
while i dont think pthias true identity is a question that needs answered, i think its interesting bungie seems to be following this plot thread, and along with the way the compiler trace codex entries end, it raises alot of questions about the fate of s'pht in what id assume you might as well call "this timeline", given that its highly likely another alternate timeline
s'pht without the jjaro? a yrro that fell instead of pthia? who knows
