Editing Marathon (section)

==Marathon, or "Fuck this, you Assholes can Open your Fucking Doors by Yourself!"==

The year is 2794, and our hero, the nameless Security Officer (aka "Mjolnerd"), just returned to Marathon from shore leave on Tau Ceti. Before even getting a chance to get into his office, a large alien ship owned by an alien race of slavers known as the Pfhor (pronounced "four") warps in and invades both the colony and the Marathon. With communications with the on-planet colony cut off, and both Tycho and Durandal suffering critical damage in the initial assault, it's up to our hero, under Leela's guidance, to repel the invaders in the dark, claustrophobic, and often falling apart areas of the ship. It that wasn't enough, Durandal, initially thought to be destroyed, returns. Evidently, he was already Rampant for years from the constant door operating duty. Simultaneously defending Marathon from the Pfhor and containing Durandal's madness put a strain on Leela's resources, allowing the S'pht (pronounced "sfit") compilers (who look strangely similar to the final boss of Pathways. Hmm...) and the Pfhor's slave hackers to take her down. In her final desperate moment, she transfers all authority to Durandal.

Now under the new crazy and sarcastic management (with the manager having delusions about being the eponymous sword that was wielded by Roland), the Security Officer finds out that Durandal deliberately called the aliens towards Tau Ceti in order to jack their ride and be free. Apparently, wasting his immense processing power on just opening and closing doors rightly made him snap, waving his dick at a bunch of hostile aliens as the first step of ensuring his digital immortality by outliving the universe itself (all the while ranting out various philosophical ramblings about the existence, sentience, the end of the universe, yadda yadda). One problem with his plan: the Pfhor have a large trained force while the Marathon has only part-time security forces, and not even the Security Officer can take them all on by himself (though he certainly does kill a lot of them).

Seeing this potential hole in his plan, Durandal decides to defeat them from the inside by starting a slave revolt. While many combat slaves are obedient by fear, the cybernetic S'pht have to be brainwashed into submission. Durandal teleports the Security Officer into the alien ship to eliminate the cyborg brainwasher, and he succeeds, freeing the S'pht and causing mayhem among the aliens. During the chaos, Durandal transfers his data into the alien ship, dumps the hostiles into the vacuum, teleports all remaining S'pht aboard and as a parting gift gives the Security Officer the means to revive Leela before warping out. The Security Officer revives Leela, and she assists in routing the remaining Pfhor, and then re-establishes communications with Tau Ceti colony. It turns out that among the population, there were nine advanced Mjolnir Battleroids that defeated the invaders, and the data says that there is a tenth one somewhere (Three guesses as to who that is).
