"Agent Pace! You are not authorised in this area!"
But yeah, some seriously good screenshots in this one :)

I'm sure there's some sort of "fail-safe" in store in case the Architect is deleted. Or maybe not. He does seem like the kind of old coot that would think himself immortal. Either way, I'd still like to see him deleted. If nothing else, we can see what this "backup" is and assess how it can be approached. I sort of figured that another program might take his place so that some sort of order might be restored, but that perhaps that new order might be a slightly altered one. You know, where the machines aren't at our teeth simply because the Colonel ordered them to be? We've hoped that some other programs and machines have had differing... "opinions," for lack of a better term... for a while now. A change in the establishment might lead to a change in policy.

Hm, good point. I just checked the Mission Controllers definition file, and it hasn't been updated. Suffice it to say Pace wasn't added as a mission controller, so that's not gonna happen. Could be the Operator, though. Maybe even "Unknown"?
Or maybe Agent Gray will start leaking black code that spews horizontally out of his eyes. Then he'll go around removing Zion viruses from Machine programs. =Pppp

((if anything they will probably do as they did in the early chpt 8 Zion crits when the Machiens took out Zion's com-line. Meaning his pic will be there but the operator will take over for a bit.))

((Why do you 'ALL' wear Agent Suits? It a step up from buffed clothing, but it kinda takes away from the Agent's epic.)) ((Just like the fact that Agents die routinely.)) Well, I really do think Gray has earned his re-assimilation in a big way. I salute his past efforts, and am glad to have served with him. I'm confident that this will be cleared up in a jiffy.

(( Can I say that I called this happening a long time ago? Heh Well, at least Sareah in her bright white get up and North's good old purple leather were there to spice things up a little. )) There had better be a back up plan.. though I somehow doubt the removal of the Architect would have the catastrophic result that some are predicting. My thoughts are with Gray right now in hoping that he recovers and is back to normal operations as soon as possible.

You know, if he fried the Architect, then maybe we could get somewhere with some sort of peace negotiation. Doubtful, I think the Architect already has a plan in place in case he gets deleted. There's probably a back up copy in the source. A backup of a damaged Agent program that's long been disconnected from the Source to the point that he can actually be classified as an Exile?
C'yea, right, you go ahead and keep thinking that.
((I believe that he meant there was a backup of the Architect, not Gray.))
Well, my point still stands. In order to ressurect Agent Gray, they'd have to reconnect him with the Source, with all his Smith corruption risks at large. And you can't say such a sudden shock and attack, if not near-deletion, won't have re-awakened the Good Ol' Boy that smells things that don't really have odors.
I, for one, welcome our Uniter and Source of the Gift and Rains back into my warm embrace, as should you all.

Identification. People try to get as close to their leaders as possibe. Appearance, talk, philosophy. Many Machinists have long become machinelike in thinking and work. And that's one of the reasons, why the Machines approached Operatives in the first place, slowly fades away: Human - Human interaction. Negotiations cannot be done Machine - Human, everybody knows that. And through the Machinists efforts, well, it has become more difficult again.
When their individualism is slowly washed away, the only thing left behind is a Machine.

Eh. Yeah, sure. Except that: a) Not everyone was wearing Agent suits; and b) Most of those who were were wearing them because they're part of their faction's uniform, so it's got nothing to do with their personality. We already know what some Machinist factions' official positions are, and their operatives don't always bare that out.
You won't find the Glitch Society's uniform featuring the Agent suit, ever. And no, Lorellei wasn't wearing our uniform.

The Glitchers are pretty much the only Mech faction I respect. Maybe the Watchmen, too. Anything else out there, bah.

Many of us like to dress in a businesslike manor... what is so wrong with that? Personally, one of the reasons why I joined Tetra was because of the uniform we had then and still have now, the system suit is just a variant. If I were ever to join another faction which doesn't enforce a dress code I'd still wear the suit. The system suit just happens to be a very good looking and smart outfit that I like to wear, I didn't hear anyone complaining about the fact that most of us wear the system shades... or that most, if not all, Cyphs wear bandanas.
I have no problems with other Machinists wearing their own style of attire, but, unless at parties etc..., I will always wear what I find to be an organisational identifier and a smart businesslike outfit, that is the image I like to project. Personality is not defined by how you dress.
