First, it is good and right that you be interested in the Myth backstory. The Lord shall lay His blessings upon you for this. Secondly, throughout the years that I have rummaged through both here and the Marathon Story Page, I think there are a few places where Bungie simply didn't double check their writing. Legitimate inconsistancy, or can someone smarter than me point out a reason why this might be?
