Origins of 117...

While killing some time this weekend, I was wandering around the musty halls of the Marathon Story Page, I was reading the section "What's in a name", specifically the section on the secret net level "Hat's Off to 819." In it, we learn the truth about the number 117. It is, in fact 819 divided by 7!
What's so significant about that number? Well... That would be telling, wouldn't it?
Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. Say no more, sir ;)
