FURTHER SPOILERS (though, let's face it, you shouldn't be reading this thread if you haven't played the mission)

Wright's not dead. Can't be. She's been in loads of events (clever ones at that), built up as a pretty powerful character, then we walk into an office with no security and she just... dies? Hah! What rot!

I know it was supposedly the Sentinels that killed her, but the fact that she didn't care that we got near her and let the trace be run on her RSI speaks volumes. It's a trick.

Uh-oh... Here's a thought. The Sentinels didn't kill her - they captured her, and jacked her out. The Machines are holding her captive in secret. Not again! Not more subterfuge! This is making us really look bad.

(Remember that Anome died in a cinematic, and he was a very important character (albeit a bad one). I was hoping for an Assassin type of event vs him, but noooooo; he died in a cinematic. Same thing here I believe...)

All due respect my friend...

Fact is, how do you know she didn't care? Yes, no security - but she could have believed that to be a secure location. Or maybe she just knew her time up. Either way, if she resurfaces later (I'm quitting), then we'll at least have a fix on her and we'll end it personally.

And war is war my friend - a lot of information has to be withheld. Lying to the masses is not out of the question too, Zion and Merv do the same to their subordinates - it's the price we pay for being a subordinate. All we have to worry about is doing what's necessary to win this war and restore the peace.

Oh i hope she isn't really dead, her character was so akin to Doctor Halsey from the Halo Novels i was loving it!

An interlectual who always seems to know more than she lets on coupled with some super secret personal agenda. An enigma that dispite everyones effort noone can really place. Twas awesome and a definate shame to just kill off in a single subchapter.

That was an awesome mission. SMILEY

(( I actually agree that the mission itself was pretty good. Nothing overly new content wise, but some surprises and the massive cliffhanger make it very memorable. ))

This was a very well thought out and very excellently executed mission.

Ah, I didnt think of "detected".

I was hoping DCTCD stood for something, a hint to an insurgent we had in place SMILEY

I thought the same when I read the message.

SNTL means Sentinel I think.

Dunno about OAJDE

No point in killing her - Wright probably accidentally discovered the secret to imortality in the real, things like that happen all the time

There is something unsettling about this. It was all ... far too easy for Gray.

I sense a trap. Call it that human sense of intuition - there just isn't something right about this. And I think our dear Agent Gray and Pace are going to be in for a nasty surprise. And there is nothing us machine operatives can do about it.

Gray's overconfidence is his greatest weakness. Gray needs to learn to never underestimate the enemy.
