| ==List of references to ''Marathon'' in the ''Destiny'' series==
| |
| *[[Tycho]] is a location in ''[[Destiny]]''. An [[Cyberacme:Tycho|AI]] in ''Marathon'' is named likewise.
| |
| *The [[Fate of All Fools]] gets its name from the phrase, "the just fate of fools," which the AI [[Cyberacme:Durandal|Durandal]] carves into a planet's surface in Latin after destroying Tycho.
| |
| *The [[Duke MK.44]] bears resemblance to the [[Cyberacme:.44 Magnum Mega Class A1|.44 Magnum]].
| |
| *[[Fusion Rifle]]s operate on a similar principle to the [[Cyberacme:Zeus-Class Fusion pistol|Zeus fusion pistol]].
| |
| *A patrol mission that can be obtained in areas where the Fallen roam is named "[[Low-Flying Defense Drones]]". "Beware of Low-Flying Defense Drones" is the name of a Marathon campaign level.
| |
| *[[Manus Celer Dei]] is the name of the ship Durandal used to return to Earth in the second game. It also happens to be a [[jumpship]] in Destiny.
| |
| *The [[Almighty]] bears a striking conceptual resemblance to the [[Cyberacme:Trih xeem|Trih Xeem]] which the pfhor empire uses as a last resort to quell revolts of subjugated races by igniting early supernovas.
| |
| * The [[MIDA Mini-Tool]] lore tab appears to both reference and expands upon marathon's backstory. The MIDA-Mini-Tool lore tab features a first-person narrative that references [[Cyberacme:Battleroids|Battleroids]] and reveals that [[Cyberacme:Bernard Strauss|Bernard Strauss]] was able to salvage an ancient AI construct from a ship that crashed on Mars. Additionally, the name MIDA itself is likely a reference to the MIDA revolutionary government that temporarily occupied Mars.

| *In his [[Mysterious Logbook]], [[Clovis Bray I]] often mentions an extremely awkwardly-named ideological concept he subscribes to: "Competitive Immortality Through ''Primogeniture of Future-History Ontogeny/Rephylogeny''" — PFHOR. 'Pfhor' (pronounced "four") is the race of alien antagonists in Marathon.
| |
| *In the 31st entry of the [[Books of Sorrow]], [[The Witness]] was referred to as "the waves, which are battles, and the battles are the waves," which is a description also attributed to a race of cosmic beings in Marathon known as the W'rkncacnter who, like the Witness, possess immense power and the potential to destroy the known universe.
