Hey Forrest,
J. Ramirez here at the ole Bungie bullpen, as to the great "Watcher's arm
debate" all I can say is your both wrong!!! For those to whom such things
are a concern, all loose ends will be tied up with the release of " The
Total Codex"! So run right out and buy a copy, hell, buy two!
J.R.
