Agent Thorne: We are presented with a choice. Listen carefully, for you will determine the fate of the operative known as 'Neurophyte."
Agent Thorne: This human will die shortly in the outside world. We should let her expire and extract the killcode from her now. You will all receive this killcode, and Miss Simpson, 'Neurophyte,' will die.
Agent Pace: The Machines have the opportunity to add a new member to our cause. The killcode will be ineffective with this option, but we can save her, and re-educate her back to the Machine cause.
Agent Gray: The Truce is vital to continued relations with humanity. We should repair her in the outside world, and return her to Zion unchanged. We would lose the effectiveness of the killcode, but gain increased cooperation from Zion.
Agent Thorne: We give you, our human operatives, the choice to determine Miss Simpson's fate.
Agent Thorne: Option one: We allow her to expire, and take the killcode from her now. We will be able to give you all the killcode for use later.
Agent Pace: Option Two: We repair her in the outside world, losing the killcode. We re-educate her and gain a new Machine operative.
Agent Gray: Option Three: We repair her in the outside world, and lose the killcode. We return her unchanged, gaining increased cooperation from Zion.
Agent Thorne: You have twenty four hours to cast a single vote for the option you believe we should select.
Agent Thorne: Send a data-drop to me directly at AgentThorne@lith.com with your location (Method, Regression, Etc.), so-called handle, and the option number that you choose. Example: Subject : METHOD, YOUR_HANDLE, 1. This will be your subject line.
Agent Thorne: Failure to follow the format will result in your vote becoming null and void.
Agent Pace: She is a human, like you. Her fate is in your human hands.
