DeBarlo: Greetings, Niobe.

Niobe: Alright. With the linenoise my hovercraft is experiencing, I can only stay for a few minutes. Make your report fast.

Arachnis: hello niobe

Xavis: we have recorded the entire convo they seem to be searching for morpheus

DeBarlo: Xavis, please report.

DeBarlo: Be quick, and then Tyrantus will follow.

Niobe: Lots of people are looking for Morpheus. What makes this special?

Xavis: the cvc seems to want to take a more active role against morpheus and no exit want to stalk him

Niobe: Active, meaning...

Xavis: They seem to have someone that knows his location.

Kenedajade: Everytime Morpheus jacks in they seem to have someone who has his location.

Niobe: How is this done?

Xavis: we are not sure

Kenedajade: the say they have a contact, but not a machine

Arachnis: it is a contact, name unknown?

Xavis: its a contact but we don't know who

Niobe: Hmm...

Niobe: Ok, I agree this was important.

Kenedajade: They specifically said it was not Agent Gray.

Xavis: yes only morpheus

Firmwear: As far as we could tell

Niobe: What else can you tell me?

Xavis: they didn't mention anyone else

Arachnis: yes, they are angry that their awakening was a lie

Firmwear: so they think

Arachnis: a false prophesy

Niobe: Riddles?

Tyrantus: They have been asking many factions to join up as one big 'army'

Niobe: That sounds more concrete.

Kenedajade: exiles and Machines

Niobe: And that sounds like a problem.

Kenedajade: CvC is recruiting people to hunt Morpheus

Infaro: where are you DeBarlo

Kenedajade: Very actively

Xavis: recruiting factions*

Firmwear: and were trying to recruit no exit

DeBarlo: No Exit is a faction that believe the real world is just another Matrix. They play both sides of the line in all of this.

Infaro: hello Niobe

Kenedajade: we need to further scan the transcript of the recording. We were recording every word and may find more intel.

Niobe: Ok, here's what I need from you. You need to drop this information somewhere secure, and you need to give me access to this place.

Firmwear: Done

Niobe: Ok, once you give me access to this place and inform me of it, then I have somethign I need to tell you.

DeBarlo: When we've set up this drop, how may we contact you with the location?

Firmwear: DeBarlo will have all the info

Niobe: DeBarlo, are you the Captain of this group?

DeBarlo: Yes.

Niobe: I can't hang around here. You need to get this set up fast.

Niobe: While I am telling you what you need to know, get that set up.

Kenedajade: we are securing the intel

DeBarlo: Very well.

Niobe: I know I am asking a lot but I can't guarantee I will be able to be around to collect the information soon.

Firmwear: we will keep it safe until you retrieve it

Niobe: Especially with what I am about to tell you.

Kenedajade: we are currently uploading

Arachnis: what is it niobe

Niobe: Good, then listen to this...

Niobe: We've been getting reports of all sorts of unusual Agent activity.

Eunoia whispers>Did she say anything at Club Daemon?

Niobe: In particular, they've been seen messing around with hardlines and in some cases, interfering with Redpill recruitment.

Niobe: Matched with what you told me, I am disturbed.

Niobe: THis is clearly violating the truce - And Zion knows how important recruitment is right now.

Arachnis: yes indeed

Niobe: I just can't shake the idea that the Machines wouldn't act this way. It just seems out of character.

Niobe: I hesitate to mention this, but...it may be something to do with Smith.

Niobe: Perhaps when the Agents were overwritten, they were damaged in some way. I'm not sure.

Firmwear: could it be the exiles? making it look like the machines.

Arachnis: it can't be

Niobe: Or it could be the Exiles, or it could be something else.

Niobe: However, I need proof before I can bring this to Lock.

Niobe: Please, report and Agents you see acting strange or looking unusual in some way.

Kenedajade: you can count on us, Niobe. For Zion.

Niobe: Use the drop you are setting up for me.

Niobe: I think there is some trouble brewing, and we need to on our toes.

Niobe: We've worked too hard to jeopardize the truce.

Arachnis: yes

Niobe: And with this alliance you report, this is doubly important.

Niobe: Zion needs time to rebuild and we stand to lose everything if open hostilities break out.

Niobe: Look, you've proven you've got ears.

Niobe: But we can't sit around worrying. If there is a battle to come, will you be able to fight for Zion?

Firmwear: yes!

Arachnis: yes we will

Kenedajade: We will fight For Zion!!!

Aurath: Yes

Tyrantus: Yes!

Niobe: Now is the time to gather new soldiers. Now is the time to forge alliance with other Zionites.

DeBarlo: I'm awaiting transfer of the data... one moment.

Firmwear: We will be ready!

Niobe: If the Exiles and Machines are in alliance, then you must do the same.

Kenedajade: and we will

Niobe: DeBarlo, my time is just about out. As I suspected, they have zeroed in on us.

Kenedajade: be assured, we will do all we can

Niobe: I should hope so. Damn, I've got to go.

Firmwear: be safe

Infaro: Take care

Niobe: I will have my phone ready for the datadrop location.

Firmwear: we wish you well and shall be your consumate allies

Niobe: I know you will not let me down.
