<title>Who was the Mystery Man?</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;So, I was just thinking about the guy from cinematic whatever, where he&amp;#39;s sitting in a chair watching footage of Neo talking to Deus Ex Machina and saying &quot;Most interesting.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who the hell was that guy?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For the last while, I&amp;#39;d thought it was Halborn, but being that we were tossed this whole thing about them being frickin&amp;#39; androids, it couldn&amp;#39;t possibly be him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who the hell &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;was&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;that guy?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;cite&gt;Rarebit wrote:&lt;/cite&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;8.3&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cinematic:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Cut to Neo confronting Deus Ex Machina, from the scene close to the end of The Matrix Revolutions, only seen from the side and slightly below, some distance away. A hand passes quickly across the screen, and the scene freezes, as a robotic bug begins to crawl across it--what we were seeing was a close-up view of another computer monitor displaying old surveillance footage from Machine City, and someone (this will be Carlyne--see 9.3) paused the video feed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Yep&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Was it ever confirmed that Carlyne is the one who Halborn referred to when he told the Merv that he knew the human he was designed after?&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Well, they are humans with android bodies, right?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Maybe that android was particularly human in appearance.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;But there was that whole big thing about them finding &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Carlyne&amp;#39;s&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;android - the one shown in the cinematic that obviously looks nothing like this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If they&amp;#39;re in a mainframe, there&amp;#39;s also the manner of the machine clinking around in what seems to be a fortress of solitude with him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think it&amp;#39;s probably just a retroactive f*ck up (rare going &quot;oh hai - other people outside the system of control,&quot; then throwing in the android thing without remembering ol&amp;#39; mystery man), but thought I&amp;#39;d raise the question.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>Re:Who was the Mystery Man?</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m fairly certain the android was Carlyne.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thus, plot hole! One of many, many, many.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<title>Re:Who was the Mystery Man?</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;#39;t see a problem. Firstly, the two cinematics (Carlyne in front of his screen, and Carlyne&amp;#39;s android body being shown to Merv) were drawn by different people, and Rare&amp;#39;s style in particular can be a bit... confusing. Secondly, the android body could have been damaged. Thirdly - and the most probable explanation if you ask me - Carlyne could have been watching his screen from within a construct.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It stands to reason they&amp;#39;d inhabit virtual environments inside their mainframes. And the tiny robots scuttling around aren&amp;#39;t a problem either; the bug planted on Neo in the Matrix was a nasty little bug-like Machine. I&amp;#39;m sure the Oligarchs can have whatever they want in their environments.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

One is clearly human. The other is clearly the robot from Lost in Space.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. No matter how much damage sustained, the robot from Lost in Space will never look like a smooth mama jamma watchin&amp;#39; videos and sippin&amp;#39; cognac.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. I guess it could&amp;#39;ve been from inside a construct, but I fully believe that the Machine was meant to hint that it was in the Real.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
