Niobe:
I’m glad you were able to gather so quickly.
I trust that none of you were followed?
I’ve asked you here because I think there’s something strange going on.
We’ve been getting reports of all sorts of unusual agent activity.
In particular, they’ve been seen messing around with hardlines and in some cases interfering with redpill recruitment.
This is clearly violating the truce – And Zion knows how important recruitment is right now.
I just can’t shake the idea that the Machines wouldn’t act this way. It just seems out of character.
I hesitate to mention this, but… it may be something to do with Smith
Perhaps when the Agents were overwritten, they were damaged in some way. However I need proof before I can bring this to Lock
Please report any Agents you see acting strange or looking unusual in some way.
I think there is some trouble brewing, and we need to be on our toes.
We’ve worked too hard to jeopardise the truce.
*Some of our Faction Members ask is Smith alive*
Niobe: I don’t know, that is the problem.
A Faction member asks: Are you looking for Agent PDAs?
Niobe: I don’t know… that may be the ticket.
Zion needs time to rebuild and we stand to lose everything if open hostilities break out.
Now is the time to gather new soldiers Now is the time to forge alliances with other Zionites.
And I am entrusting you
We need to be strong for the battle to come don’t you think?
Then despite your lack of focus. You know what to do.
You have your orders, now move out.
