Re: Gears of War 3

Spoiler: 
Oh, I got that Myrrah knew Adam back in Gears 2, and I know that Gears 3 showed that Adam knew of the Locust, and knew Myrrah herself, five years before E-Day, and had been trying to find a cure for Imulsion before E-Day, trying to persuade Myrrah not to leave for the surface, etc. etc. etc.

But, what has never been explained is:

- How Adam knew of the Locust before E-Day.

- How Adam knew Myrrah before E-Day.

And the big one...

- WTF did Myrrah look and sound human, instead of Locust?


The game teased us with this, but never gave any answers.

Adam - Marcus, I can explain about Myrrah, about everything!

Marcus - Save it for later!

------

Baird - So, WTF? Your dad knew the queen, and knew of the Locust, *before* E-Day? And WTF is up with Myrrah, why does she look human?

Marcus - Save it for later!

------

Adam - Baird, take this disc. It explains everything about Myrrah and the Locust.

------


I did actually wonder about whether it would be revealed that Myrrah was Marcus' mother, and wouldn't have been surprised if we'd had something like this

Myrrah - Adam never told you the truth about your mother.

Marcus - He told me you killed her!

Myrrah - No, Marcus, I am your mother!

Marcus - Noooooooooooo!


But if Myrrah was his mother, wouldn't he have recognised her? And, whether she was his mother or not, it still wouldn't explain why she looked human.
