[[Volker Von Müller]] wrote the first journal entries during the [[Pfhor]] attack of the [[UESC Marathon]]. The entries detailed the resistance Müller raised against the Pfhor and their experience with the [[Rampancy|Rampant]] [[Durandal]].

However, there was a following entry, written [[seven]] years later. Now held hostage by Durandal, Müller was ordered to list the chronology of events that occurred before the launch of the Marathon. Müller explained that when the Marathon was attacked, the damaged [[Leela]] began to scramble the history of mankind before being cut off by [[S'pht]] compliers and Durandal, leading to the errors found in the terminals. This had apparently not worked on the compliers, but notably did leave Durandal confused. The dates were recorded in years only to the best of Müller's memory, as not all of them could be verified. Finally having access to a terminal, Müller recorded this final known entry, with these journal entries being part of a burst download by Durandal from "[[Unidentified warship 2703.4.21.4]]". | However, there was a following entry, written [[seven]] years later.

Two days later, Hamish received [[Journal_entries_of_Volker_Von_Müller#First_email|another email]] from Matt Soell with a clarification. The first email claimed the transmission originated from the UESC Marathon; however, the text itself described it as originating from an unidentified Warship. Matt explained that the first email's description was an error and that the transmission was indeed sent from the unidentified vessel.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/mail2.html Marathon's Story Page, Bungie's e-mail message (2)]</ref> | Two days later, Hamish received [[Journal_entries_of_Volker_Von_Müller#First_email|another email]] from Matt Soell with a clarification.

In Müller's timeline, it was stated that Martians stashed munitions aboard the Marathon in 2465. In the level [[Blaspheme Quarantine]], Durandal stated this event happened "three hundred and fifteen years ago".<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/counterattack.html#M1.09.2.2 ''Marathon'' (1994), Blaspheme Quarantine, Terminal 2: 2nd message]</ref> Indicating that the munitions were stashed in 2479, 14 years off from where this event happened in Müller's timeline. In the level [[Ingue Ferroque]], Leela predicted unauthorized additions to the Marathon's cargo were made in "the early twenty-fourth century", and explained that Durandal's records of this early pre-launch period were missing, deleted externally before he became Rampant.<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/rebellion.html#M1.26.3.1 ''Marathon'' (1994), Ingue Ferroque, Terminal 3]</ref> Meaning, Durandal did not have his own records to go off of and would need to use Leela's; however, the records Leela possessed led her to date this event sometime before at least 2350, over 100 years off of Müller's timeline. Leaving with Durandal giving an incorrect date without an explanation. | Afterwards, Hamish created another page to detail any issues found with "Bungie's New Timeline".<ref>[https://marathon.bungie.org/story/timeline.html Marathon's Story Page, Bungie's New Timeline]</ref> While inconsistences were meant to be explained as being due to Leela's scrambling, there is an exception.
