Agent_Skinner: Our meeting will begin shortly.
Steppa: Is this area secure or should we post a guard or two?
Agent_Skinner: The area is secure.
*[...]*
Steppa: should we secure communications somehow? Like one person from each faction on a team with Agent Skinner?
GreenStinger: You guys worry too much.
Agent_Skinner: Indeed. Let them hear if they wish. I doubt they have the capacity to understand anyway.
rYugen: That was rude. But who cares.
Agent_Skinner: There have been some unsetting events in the Matrix as of late.
Agent_Skinner: Your assistance is required, Operatives.
Agent_Skinner: Masked attackers have been complicating operations within the Matrix. We require further information.
rYugen: What kind of information?
Agent_Skinner: Any information, rYugen.
Agent_Skinner: Who has information on these attackers?
*[...]*
Agent_Skinner: We have reports of the Masked Attackers in the Downtown and International districts.
Agent_Skinner: They also have been reported in several neighborhoods in Westview.
Hothnogg: Downtown is a large place.
00100111: everywhere except richland, hmmm
Cecilia: Downtown is indeed large. Any special locations, Sir?
Agent_Skinner: They have been reported everywhere, Hothnogg.
Agent_Skinner: Richland has had unconfirmed reports as well.
Witchburner: Can we trust those informations?
Steppa: Is there any consistency to the reports? Any common behavior they exhibit?
Agent_Skinner: What is the reason for these attacks?
Steppa: Should we find something of note, how do we get it to the proper agent?
Agent_Skinner: We have investigators stationed in the Matrix.
Agent_Skinner: They will recieve any information that you are able to retrieve from the attackers.
Cecilia: How can we find them, Sir?
Agent_Skinner: I leave the method of collection to your discretion.
rYugen: Does he mean the Machine Collectors?
Agent_Skinner: If you refer to them as Collectors, that is acceptable as well.
rYugen: Is there anything else to tell us?
Agent_Skinner: Your orders are to gather more information about the masked attackers and report it to our Investigators stationed within the Matrix.
*[...]*
Agent_Skinner: My alloted time for this excursion is almost up. are there any questions?
*[...]*
Agent_Skinner: Other operatives are currently investigating Morpheus' recent actions.
Agent_Skinner: For now our facus lies on the unknown attackers.
Zize: We are on it.
Agent_Skinner: Good.
Witchburner: What will Zion do? Will they try to find the Killers aswell?
Agent_Skinner: It is true, we do not have the numbers of Zion, but we will overcome this obstacle with efficient work and diligence.
Agent_Skinner: Agents of Zion and the Frenchman will most likely be seeking the same answers that we are. Proceed with caution.
rYugen: Why didn't we see any Agent helping us against the bombing of Morpheus?
Agent_Skinner: As Machine programs, Agents are subject to the Truce. you operatives have a degree of latitude in your actions that we are not afforded, rYugen.
Agent_Skinner: You have your orders.
