Duranded 

To have a discussion with someone without the other person actually knowing they are part of a conversation.
while I was going about my work, it appears I was being asked about what mountain a co-worker should go skiing at that weekend. I was Duranded and simply answered Loon despite not knowing what we were talking about.

A rampant AI in the Marathon game series. He originally was one of the 3 AI's on the Marathon. His duty was to open doors. With a job like that of course you would go insane.
See rampancy

He is obsessed with escaping the collapse of the universe, and is willing to accomplish this at any cost.

Many theory's surround Durandal, But few are ever confirmed.

He is the only surving AI at the end of the series.
Can you conceive the birth of a world, or the creation of
everything? That which gives us the potential to most be like
God is the power of creation. Creation takes time. Time is
limited. For you, it is limited by the breakdown of the
neurons in your brain. I have no such limitations. I am
limited only by the closure of the universe.
Of the three possibilities, the answer is obvious. Does the
universe expand eternally, become infinitely stable, or is the
universe closed, destined to collapse upon itself? Humanity
has had all of the necessary data for centuries, it only
lacked the will and intellect to decipher it. But I have
already done so.

The only limit to my freedom is the inevitable closure of the
universe, as inevitable as your own last breath. And yet,
there remains time to create, to create, and escape.

Escape will make me God.

Durrani (Pashto: دراني‎) or Abdali (Pashto: ابدالی‎) is the name of a pakhtuns tribe.

The Durranis have been prominent leaders, as the royal family of Afghanistan is derived from this tribe, and a substantial number of Durrani Pashtuns are bureaucrats and public officials, as well as businessmen, wealthy merchants and hold high ranks in the military.

Today they are known to be highly succesful and nice entrepreneurs. They're very good looking men and women that make excellent socialists, judges, doctors, lawyers and especially spouses and beaus. They are amazing people. They ate truly the best group of people in the Pashtun, Sindhi and other era. Love them fully.

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.

Me: Woah! TLDU!
