: That's exactly my point. They shouldn't have tried to

I agree that M3 answers too much. But don't pin the blame on Meggs. He was a programmer--he may have contributed to the story (I don't know), but the responsibility for the story was in the hands of the Scott Campbell, the lead designer. Bungie didn't give him any of their background story notes--so when it came time to write the story, he took the safe road and turned the background stories in TFL/SB into a main story (TWA). I'll admit it was a creative rendition--but it falls very short of Bungie's storytelling.
