Blake (Chapter)

Blake is the seventh chapter in Marathon 2: Durandal and consists of four levels.

Synopsis

"Blake" chapter screen

The player is contacted by Robert Blake and is told he needs to activate an ancient S'pht AI here in order to contact the lost S'pht'Kr clan. The player must then activate two AI personality cells in the first level of this chapter.

After activated the first two personality cells, Blake says "The rest of the AI will have to wait, though: our base has been infiltrated by Pfhor androids. The machines are disguised as humans and packed with explosives." The player is then tasked with killing all assimilated humans or Simulacrums before he can resume activating the S'pht AI.

With the immediate threat of assimilated humans taken care of, the player is sent to activate the last four personality cells across the final two levels of this chapter.

In Blake's final communication with player in Kill Your Television he mentions the Pfhor have traced his communication lines and his base is now under attack. Once the player has activated the final two personality cells, Thoth will teleport the player back to Blake's base.
