[8.2.5] Mach mission feedback thread: "Execute"

**Rarebit**

Scheduled for tomorrow.

**CPT_Starschwar**

Ah, another pun. Not as good as "process of elimination", but I like it.

**Procurator**

H'mm. That was...

Nah, that can't be it. There's something else going on.

**Shinryu**

*chuckles sadly* Once again, you and I think the same way Proc. This... this can't be right.

**MetaLogic**

Wow...the result of this mission got me on the edge of my seat, I can't wait to see what happens next!

*gets popcorn and soda*

Did anyone else notice this?

Man Pace has strayed far from speaking like an Agent.

I also wondered what the diversion Veil was talking about.

**Procurator**

I was shocked a few missions back when she called me Chris, and said so, but apparently she's used our first names a few times.

It's just plain odd to be called Chris. None of my faction mates call me that, just Procurator. Most of Redpill society has evolved to just use our handles.

I know, I mean I expected to be call Mr. Summer by any programs from the machine world, and MetaLogic or Meta in the Cyph Org. The "Sean" really threw me off hehe.

**CPT_Starschwar**

That was one of the best missions in a long time!

*Super Spoilers below!*

I didn't expect Wright to get killed off so soon - I was worred that she'd be the new Anome/General type character. Phew.

As for what's going to happen... well, it's about time something went our way.

**Procurator**

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.

Umm how does it make them look bad? We're at war now, she is an enemy combatant. If she is captured and not dead, then she is a POW.

**Procurator**

It makes them look bad because Gray hasn't told us, his operatives, that Wright is in custody rather than dead. That's exactly how they treated the Cypherite issue.

It's on a need to know basis, you can't tell your operative everything in war time because that would create a security leak. Remember, loose lips, sink ships.

**Shinryu**

(( I was thinking the same thing about Wright... then again, it won't be the first time we get a huge build up to something and then it fizzles in a supposed "ending" SMILEY )

Wright has proven intelligent and illusive in the past... I would also be surprised if all was as it seems.

She's talking about sending a Zion ship flying into one of old Zions gates creating a diversion while the Machines go to town on Zion's networks and mainframe while sending sentinles into the city. Basicly Old Zion is no more and those left are currently on there way to New Zion.

True enough (though I like to give our organisation a bit more credit than that), but this isn't just withholding information: it's outright lying. They've lied to us before about the Cypherites, and we were not happy.
