This was received in a personal message. I don't know who sent it or what the hell it's about, but they wanted me to put it up here. Maybe it will help.

Voice4: None of this makes any sense...
Voice2: What doesn't make sense?
Voice4: What do you all want?
Voice2: A moment of your time.

...

Voice4: Ok...
Voice2: Neither did ##-ERROR, indeed. He was one of the first that joined our little underground network.

...

Voice2: We have found a way, or a device rather, that allows us to see the difference between normal bluepills and the potential ones, the ones that are about to wake up.

...

Voice2: This upcoming friday a public execution is planned by the Diversion.
Voice4: I still don't understand what you want from me...
Voice2: We'd like you to help us elminate as many potentials as you can at the parties we're going to organise.
Voice2: They'll be easy targets. We'll jump in quick, kill every potential and disappear in the shadows before anyone can see us.
Voice1: So.. are you on board?

...

Voice2: Another thing I'd like to add: There is no Diversion. ##-ERROR and ##-ERROR are not Cypherites and nothing is going to happen anytime soon, ok?
Voice4: As far as I'm concerned, this meeting never happened...

What I got from the OP is a crypted message, which made little sense but seemed to bring bad news. Although, in the words were highlighted letters which spells out..

I haven't had time to see if you can rearrange the letters into something that may mean more, but I would keep an eye out for this upcoming friday from what Kellner broadcasted. Who knows, it could be a target or something else.

Be prepared for the return of something wonderful...

They are back...

What do you know about this? It sounds like it's interrogation time.

**Ballak**

Insomnia Diversion?

Are they really back?

McShy

''Voice2: Another thing I'd like to add: There is no Diversion''

Something tells me... *stops to think* Something big is going to happen....

*looks around for abit* Hmm...

**ViralMarauder**

Just one question... Who watches the watchers?

Consider this your only warning.

Fatmop

Be on watch for any old members of the Diversion. Viral led us to believe that some of them were trying to make a comeback. ZRoe, LouCipher, McShy, and Viral himself, who managed to escape us, should all be apprehended and questioned. And maybe shot.

**ZRoe**

I plea the fifth.

Voice2: What made you join 'us' in the first place?
Voice1: It seemed like the best way to work toward a.. brighter future.
Voice2: That's certainly less selfish as my reasoning.
Voice1: I've just needed work since I was awakened.
Voice1: If I have nothing to do, I start thinking about everything that could have happened..
Voice1: That should have happened.
Voice2: And how are you liking your new job so far?
Voice1: It's work.
Voice1: I haven't really seen how I'm benefitting mankind yet.. but maybe it'll take a while longer.
Voice1: Or maybe I never will.

...

Voice1: I thought you did it so you could be reinserted, and protected.
Voice2: I know it will eventually pay off.
Voice1: Isn't that what you're getting?
Voice2: I hope I will but it has never been assured.
Voice1: I've been considering going back. Again.
Voice2: Oh? Why would you do that?
Voice1: Because being a redpill's not cutting it.
Voice1: I feel like everything's just a futile gesture.
Voice1: Trying to blow against the wind to change its direction.
Voice2: I know what you mean.
Voice1: At least I can pretend I mean something in the Matrix.
Voice1: I'll still miss Vio##-ERROR, but it doesn't matter whether I'm awake or asleep for that.

...

Voice1: If I don't see a benefit soon out of this machine business..
Voice1: I don't know. Probably look somewhere else.
Voice2: I am already looking.
Voice1: At what?
Voice1: The Merv?
Voice2: I've been there.
Voice1: Haha. Joining up with him before you went back..
Voice2: Believe me, it's not worth it.
Voice1: Wouldn't think so.
Voice1: He sounds like one of those 'cultured' mob bosses.
Voice2: Although you do get paid in return, rather than seeing the system benefit from your own work...In the end, you will always work for the Merv.
Voice1: But then, what other groups are you considering?
Voice2: I do like the power I was able to get as one of the Mervs men.
Voice2: None... None of the groups seem to fit me or, I don't fit the groups.
Voice1: Bah. You'd do well enough as a Cypherite, I think. Although you are sort of forbidden from doing that again..
Voice2: The Society will stop me from going there.

...

Voice2: When I tried to convince other Cypherites that killing our liaison was the best way forward. Hah, we never got much respect for that.
Voice1: Well, uh.. could have just gotten the guy demoted.
Voice2: We tried.
Voice1: Interesting.
Voice2: But if he would be alive, we'd never be able to get rid of the peaceful way of solving issues.
Voice2: We tried to reinsert him.
Voice2: Or, we planned to do that rather.
Voice2: But when he ran away from us, to jack out, we were afraid we'd lose him.
Voice2: Either he had to fail, or our organisation would fail.
Voice1: It's so strange to be listening to justification to kill someone.
Voice1: Not really the kind of thing I talked about as a bluepill.
Voice2: It's why I hate this world, man.

...

Voice2: One of our old goals was to help the makers of the Matrix finding new methods to decrease the amount of people that reject the Matrix.
Voice1: Ah.
Voice1: Such as?
Voice2: If worse comes to worse, I wouldn't care if there were Sentinels waiting outside at the pods. If one opens...BANG. Case closed.
Voice1: Don't they need Zion or something? For the.. choice?
Voice2: I see no reason for Zion to excist.
Voice1: I haven't really understood much about that. Seems like everyone takes for granted that there's supposed to be this balance.
Voice2: This balance is here because the Machines aren't able to keep every bluepill asleep.
Voice2: Believe me, if they could, they would.
Voice1: Yeah, but there's something beyond that. How they have to allow Zion to exist.
Voice2: The truce.
Voice2: Believe me, if I could brake it. I would.

...

Voice1: I don't think it really matters who I work for..
Voice2: I can fit myself in to any organisation if I want to.
Voice1: But you're right. We're all better off in here.
Voice1: Even if there are certain limitations.
Voice2: I see no real limitations.
Voice2: Not for the bluepills, I mean.
Voice1: No more than any organization sets in the real.

Voice2: I agree with you on that one. Every potential chance of bringing us closer to our goal should be exploited to the fullest.
Voice1: Well.
Voice1: If I can help with that goal, I'm all for it.
Voice2: The Diversion only killed when necessary. The liaison as a primary example.
Voice1: Uh huh.
Voice2: We killed the weak links in a chain. We never killed anyone who wasn't part of a chain.
Voice2: Without a chain, the followers will be lost. Which will make them easier targets. But, priorities first.
Voice1: So what can I do?
Voice1: Aside from keeping my mouth shut around the faction chat.

...

Voice2: The real issue here is that we cannot recruit in the open.
Voice2: There's only one way I guess. Find out who's interested by hearing out people without mentioning your own purpose.
Voice1: Which is sort of what you did here.
Voice2: Well, if you had no idea at the beginning where this was going to then I think I've succeeded, yes.
Voice1: Wasn't even sure if I wanted to go back at the beginning of this. Now I think I do.

...

Voice2: I've never been good at recruiting the young awakened.
Voice2: So I like to simply stop them from awakening.
Voice2: The more bluepills that awaken, the more lives we have to end.
Voice2: I like to see if we're able to get a list of potentials so we can end their lives before they'll ever wake up. It's much easier to kill a bluepill than a redpill.
Voice1: Huh. I read about some sort of "Scanner."

A little buzz in my brain tells me things are gonna get fun, pretty soon.

Cystil-MxO · 06/16/2007 14:31:51

Sirens flash and whirr in Westview.

A cop car (Instance 255 - 011.alpha) tears down the highway, meandering around a bend, it's tires letting out an angry squeal at the driver, treating the solemn engine like it were breaking and bending the rules of speed and sound.

This wasn't far off the truth.

Arriving on the scene, the Captain and a Lieutenant stood beside each other, overwhelmed by what spread out infront of them.

Captain Reeves: With... w.. wha-
Miss Leng: He just screamed! He had that pick axe right there and belted it into the poor ladies head! Straight at her flippin' face! He screamed at her and put it in her face and then he … he… HE LICKED HER F**KING FACE!
Captain Reeves: Wh- Sorry?!

Miss Leng wasn’t usually one to cry, but she did on that day – right next to the Mattoon tower block, with the heavens opening and rain washing her salty tears into her mouth, mucus and sweat following too.

Captain Reeves shook his head.

He walked to where the body was.

Almost all of the facial recognition was gone from a lifeless heap lying on the floor infront of him. The indentation in the bodies forehead was so severe, that something small, like a coinpurse or a teabag could be placed within it.

Infact, there was something.

It took the forensics, (who admittedly, had seen much worse things than this) two days to remove the parchment in a small plastic bag, without damaging crucial evidence ascertaining to who the pick-axe belonged to.

Evidently, the newspaper cutting had been scrawled upon in the victim’s blood just after the attack took place.
