Eat It, Vid Boi! is the tenth level in Marathon 2: Durandal. It is the first level of Citadel, the fourth chapter of the game.
Synopsis
You have been teleported here from Curiouser and Curiouser... The first terminal is a message from Durandal, who has just teleported you to the S'pht Citadel of Antiquity on Lh'owon. The Citadel was the site of the final battle in the first war between the S'pht and the Pfhor a thousand years ago, and Durandal wants you to find a way in. If you return to this terminal, he yells at you to get inside, threatening to teleport you out into space. The next terminal is from the S'pht. They tell you that the S'pht'Kr left Lh'owon, stopping on K'lia, Lh'owon's "third sister," where they built a new home. After a thousand years, Yrro sent K'lia "out to the stars." The second message from the terminal tells you that there was a war between the S'pht'Mnr and the S'pht'Lhar. After the war, K'lia, presumably a planet or a moon, moved further away from Lh'owon, possibly the Jjaro's doing. The third terminal is from Durandal again. He informs you that the Pfhor's Battle Group Seven, over 10% of the Pfhor's active naval strength, is approximately 20 hours away, and that he will not be able to hold them off for long with the Sfiera alone. If you return to the terminal, he yells at you again to return to the Citadel. The fourth terminal is another message from Durandal, stating that cheaters never win, and winners never cheat. Unless you're talking about politics. However, the second message from this terminal states that his S'pht and the BOBs have begun enhancing the defenses of their headquarters, so they can hold out for a long time, even if he has to abandon them. Durandal believes more information about the eleventh S'pht clan is at the top of the Citadel, and teleports you there to The Hard Stuff Rules...
