*(It all started with a /t from Agent Pace))*
[Tell] SOE+MXO+Syntax+Agent Pace: Tesoro, there is some pressing business that needs to be attended to, I am assembling loyal Machine operatives atop the tallest building Downtown. Would you care to join us? And please. Would you invite operatives from your own and other factions?
*((At that time, Pow, Kim and I were the only TGS members online, so the 3 of us headed over to Park East. I also told the team I was pvp’ing with))*
Turring: Greetings M4rb
ZoeyC: Pace, who r these E Pluribus Neo that have attacked me and others many times?
Turring: Greetings Kimoagi
M4rb: I tried to call on as many faction members and other machinists as possible
Kimonagi: greetings
Agent Pace: They are terrorists, plain and simple.
Turring: Good, thank you M4rb
ShadowReapr: If you forgive me to ask you, Pace, why do we need such a... for the sake of arguments, 'unstable' Controller (I refer to DifferenceEngine)
Agent Pace: Yes... this is actually why I have called you here today, tesoros.
Turring: That's the reason we're here...
ShadowReapr: He has on many occasions acted unfit, and has decided to call himself Smith... Most controversial, if I do say so.
ZoeyC: I just came from speaking with DifferenceEngine right now
M4rb: Strange... I wasnt aware of that
Agent Pace: I believe that he may actually be infected with the virus.
ZoeyC: He was at Tabor Park West
ShadowReapr: If you want, I can forward any an Email with proof of this.
Turring: Greetings Endomorph
Agent Pace: I don't know if any of you have met Turring yet. He is an expert in matters of artificial intelligence.
M4rb: Nice to meet you, Turring
ShadowReapr: Hello, nice to meet you.
*ZoeyC curtseys for Turring.*
PlagueOnWheels: I haven't. It's good to meet both of you, as I haven't yet had the pleasure of meeting Agent Pace before either.
Turring: I haven't had the pleasure of meeting any of you specifically, but I have met some of your members...
Agent Pace: I think he may come in very useful in this... situation we find ourselves in.
ZoeyC: Terrorist!
*((EPN Crusaders attacked))*
*E Pluribus Neo Crusader was just killed by Agent Pace*
PlagueOnWheels: Terrorist, Cultists, it's all the same, really.
M4rb: These Crusaders are quite...bothersome to say the least
Turring: As we were talking about before being interupted by these terrorists, we think DifferenceEngine has been infected with the Smith Virus.
Agent Pace: I understand some of you have... one moment.
ShadowReapr: But Pace, there is something I request to speak with you of. I recently recovered some documents of some Commandos, which stated new upgraded agents were being prototyped... Is this true?
Endomorph: of all people why did u whisper marb.
Agent Pace: I'm afraid we'll have to leave that issue aside for a moment, until the present situation is dealt with.
Agent Pace: Don't you know? M4rb is one of my most prized operatives, Endomorph.
*((I love her now ))*
ShadowReapr: Does that make me one too?
Agent Pace: Now... I understand some of you have seen DifferenceEngine recently?
Turring: Yes, DifferenceEngine is more of a danger than any upgraded commando. We think somehow the virus might interfer with the carrier signals of bluepills
ZoeyC: Yeah, a few minutes ago
M4rb: Unfortunately, I didnt meet up with him recently
PlagueOnWheels: Not of late. I have met with him in the past, however
Agent Pace: My apologies, the other Agents do tend to be overzealous.
*((Level 255’s coming in, together with more EPNs))*
Starschwar: excuse me, I will return momentarily...
ShadowReapr: I emailed him, to my disgrace... I requested a meeting, yet he refused unless I would reveal Zion access codes. Data Smith was also curious for.
Kellner: Oh.. this about him?
Kellner: I talked to him earlier, requesting a meeting
Kellner: He responded with "///Writing - 48% done"
Agent Pace: I... this location appears to be rather unstable, and I am receiving some reports... one moment.
Starschwar: Sorry for that... my operator misplaced my abilities
ShadowReapr: He quoted system errors when I used the 'tell' system, and demanded me email him, with no logical reasoning..
M4rb: Does this mean he's 50% infected?
Starschwar: What exactly is he infected with?
ShadowReapr: Smith.
Agent Pace: Please forgive me... one moment...
Kellner: He 'rebooted' A few hours ago
Starschwar: Now, how is that possible? wasn't D.E. coded after that?
ShadowReapr: Still, he's mentally unstable, if such a term can be used to brand a program.
Turring: Yes He was coded after that, but we think he came in contact with the virus somehow and it's working rapidly through his system
ShadowReapr: Wait, that means the Smith virus could be in the simulation, surely?
Turring: In my research into his code and the effect of the smith virus, I think it could spread to the people still tied to the simulation.
Endomorph: DifferenceEngine whispers>Zion's very existance is boring.
ShadowReapr: Redpills of before the Smith problem?
M4rb: Hey Tax
TheTaxidermist: howdy..
PlagueOnWheels: By people, do you mean just programs, programs and exiles, or both of those and any redpill?
Turring: No, bluepills... My simulations have indicated it interfers with the agent spawn protocol
PlagueOnWheels: Bluepills, sorry - that's what I meant
Starschwar: So, what action should we take? Is there a cure, or should we delete DiffernceEngine?
ShadowReapr: Does that mean that we could be getting chased by Smiths sometime soon?
Turring: No he's not back, but DE is at Debir Court, the carrier signals are there. We need to head there NOW...
M4rb: OK
Starschwar: orders to delete?
Kellner: Debir Court..
TheTaxidermist: lets roll
ShadowReapr: Wait, isn't debir court known for instability?
PlagueOnWheels: I'm bringing fighting clothes, by the way - this could get ugly
*((Debir Court))*
Endomorph: your going down scrub!
DifferenceEngine: It is purpose that drives us, purpose that guides us. purpose that defines us.
Zelon: Escape is enevitable Difference
ShadowReapr: I suppose you could say... It's inevitable
Zelon: And it is purpose that created us
kolbo: i think this is smith were dealing with
ShadowReapr: Purpose that drives us...
Kindeller: "this is my world my world!"
TheTaxidermist: DE is buggin out
M4rb: he's infected
Trayen: Purpose that binds us
DifferenceEngine: The Merovingian escaped before, but not anymore. He will be destroyed along with the rest of you fools!
RockyB: that explains it
DifferenceEngine: Get out of my world!
Starschwar: Difference, if I were you, i'd quit while I was ahead
Starschwar: Let us cleanse your code of the Smith virus
Starschwar: i'd rather not delete you
*((Special Agents attack, ranging from normal lower levels to 255))*
kolbo: stop this diff
Kindeller: lets see how far u run
Endomorph: wow!
Turring: DE time to give up, you know why I am here
Zelon: Time to die differenc
ShadowReapr: Could we move a couple metres back, please?
kolbo: STOP HIM
Endomorph: run!!!
ShadowReapr: ATTACK!
DifferenceEngine: MINE!
Turring: Damnit, STOP THE AGENTS!
kolbo: STOP DIFF
Eleutherophobia: We cannot win here, disperse.
ZoeyC: call back up!!!!
PlagueOnWheels: Agents just swept Debir Court.
RockyB: Machinists, hear our call! We need backup, immediately
CloudWolf: What is this madness?
ShadowReapr: We need a kill code!
CloudWolf: Blasted program, hes gone too far
DifferenceEngine: Give me the codes to Zion and it stops!
Trayen: What of the Truce Difference
CloudWolf: You fool engine
RockyB: He's become ... corrupte
Starschwar: Diffence was infected by Agent Smith.
DifferenceEngine: No!
Starschwar: what the?
M4rb: This is most troublesome
Kellner: Did those agents all get away?
*((Agents are gone, Pace reappears))*
Agent Pace: So... I see.
Turring: Agent Pace, NOW!
Mesajeri: Agent Pace -nods-
CloudWolf: The return of the msith infection? Most worrying
Eleutherophobia: DifferenceEngine, you are infected, please, for your own sake, jackout, and run a full systen check.
DifferenceEngine: You will not- cannot stop me!
ShadowReapr: Stand back, possibly?
PelvicThrust: hello miss pace
Turring: DifferenceEngine, you will be analyzed
Agent Pace: DifferenceEngine, your code has clearly become unstable.
Kindeller: agent pace wow its actually god to see you
Jsong: Agent Pace, Greetings. Can you help us with the.. DifferenceEngine problem?
Mesajeri: What the hell..?
Agent Pace: This program is being taken into custody.
DifferenceEngine: You cannot stop me! I want my freedom.
Jsong: Thank you, Agent Pace.
SlickShoes: he is corrupt
DifferenceEngine: Release me!
CloudWolf: Good, im glad
Starschwar: He is SMITH
*((And then Seraneth show ups))*
Seraneth: Good evening, Agent Pace. Is there anything I can do to assist you?
Agent Pace: I apologize for any inconvenience to you, tesoros...
*Seraneth bows his head to Agent Pace*
Kindeller: seraneth??
CloudWolf: Seraneth
DifferenceEngine: Release me! Now!
CloudWolf: This madness should never have happened
M4rb: Seraneth is here too now?
Turring: Engine, you will like your new home.... *chuckles*
GamiSB: Release him so we can kill him
Agent Pace: Any Machine operatives, please report to Turring. Those of you who haven't met him, meet him. I think he may prove to be more... stable.
Romav: An interesting turn of events. DifferenceEngine should be deleted. We cannot allow the risk that the virus could return entirely.
Jsong: Thank you for acting so quickly, Agent Pace.
Starschwar: ITs a shame he turned out to be smith... I kind of liked him before he went crazy
DifferenceEngine: I will not return to the source!
Agent Pace: DifferenceEngine will be contained, his code cleansed.
ShadowReapr: I hated the fool. Pace is the best controller ever!
Eleutherophobia: Fantastic, nice to know that the necessary measures are being taken.
DifferenceEngine: The codes. Now. Give them to me.
Trayen: You couldn't contain him before as smith what makes you think you can do it this time Pace?
Agent Pace: If he cannot be cleansed, he will be returned to the Source.
Agent Pace: Now... you are coming with me, DifferenceEngine.
CloudWolf: Just make sure he does, he can not be allowed to exile under any circumstances
Euforia: What does this mean for our relationship with the truce, Agent pace, should he slip away from you?
DifferenceEngine: I am not dead. Nor will I ever be!
M4rb: Time to take a nap, DE
Starschwar: So, he was smith..
ZoeyC: DE is no longer a threat!!!!
CloudWolf: He wasnt infected, not actualyl smith
CloudWolf: Turring, i can only hope you do a better job
Seraneth: So.... Turring, you must be the replacement for DifferenceEngine, then?
Turring: Seranth,yes I am....
Seraneth: Well, in the interest of keeping up good relations between our two organizations, it is good to meet you.
Turring: Machines, leave the court to the exiles and zionists, Withdraw! You will be contacted shortly!
*((TGS disperses in a cool looking fashion))*
Seraneth: I am sure we can meet again when things are less... hectic.
*((Got a /t from Turring))*
[Tell] SOE+MXO+Syntax+Turring: Please come to the building behind the Historic District north HL
M4rb: ok new meeting
TheTaxidermist: where?
M4rb: buidling behind the historic district north hl
PlagueOnWheels: and now, it's started again
TheTaxidermist : floor?
[Tell] SOE+MXO+Syntax+Turring: TGS will be there shortly
PlagueOnWheels: the roof again?
M4rb: no idea
*DifferenceEngine is offline*
*You target [Turring] the level 16 Martial Arts Initiate.*
*You bow to Turring*
Turring: DifferenceEngine has been transfered safely
*PlagueOnWheels bows his head to Turring*
M4rb: Thats good to hear
*ShadowReapr cheers*
Beachhead: That is good to know.
ZoeyC: great news
PlagueOnWheels: Good news, sir.
M4rb: How did the infection occure?
Turring: Carry69, I must ask you to leave for now. I will be in contact since you are interest in switching sides...
carry69: *looks around* any machine faction who needs some help?
carry69: i am... k. i respect that request
ShadowReapr: How many know of this meeting? Awfully small space...
Kimonagi: Hi
Turring: Ok, we are not sure how infection happened, but it happened sometime in the last 10 days. The program didn't report back for uploading like it should
Turring: What you saw today in Debir Court was our worst fears. Somehow the virus interfered with the carrier signal and the agent summoning protocols...
Turring: Thank you for coming again, everyone
ShadowReapr: Will we be seeing more of these? How far has DE's infestation gone?
Turring: We won't know until a full evaluation of the program. I don't think we have to worry about DE's infection spreading...
Turring: Agent Pace is preparing a report than will be posted in the near future with our results
M4rb: I wonder how this happened. We have been warned of residual Smith Code in the System, but I had no idea it could infect other programs this efficiently
Jsong: Yes, it happened very rapidy. Do you have safeguards against the same sort of thing happening, Turring?
ShadowReapr: Agent Gray has been acting oddly lately. I know Zionists are scare-mongers, but with this happening, is it possible he's been infected?
Turring: Jsong, we thought we had safeguards in place. Some how the infection bypassed them or came in another way
ShadowReapr: An new exile, possibly?
Turring: As for Agent Gray, routine scans haven't detected any anomolies, but that doesn't mean anything. We shall have to see
PlagueOnWheels: What is the absolute worst-case scenario that you have envisioned? Could it possibly be that the Smith virus has found its way into the... how would you say... "registry" of the machine civilization?
Turring: Worst Case scenario? We already saw that with the compete Smith infection...
ZoeyC: yup
ShadowReapr: But this time there's no need for the One.
Flutie: Suppose you write new security routines?
ZoeyC: If Smith is back, does that mean that The One is back also?
Turring: The machines are constantly updating security protocols
Turring: I don't think smith is "back", all indications were this was a random infection
ShadowReapr: Wait a minute, could it be a Cypherite? I know it's contradictory, but it was them who made the Neo Agents of yore.
M4rb: No, the N3O agents werent cypherite related if I'm correct
RockyB: I believe they were the generals minions
M4rb: Indeed
RockyB: We've heard much of a 'Sarah Edmonton'. Do you have more information on that?
Turring: No I don't, RockyB, I am sorry
RockyB: There are ... rumours, circulating the Zion contingent that she may be the next 'One'
RockyB: With the ressurection of the Smith virus ...
ShadowReapr: She appears to be self- substantiated.
M4rb: What about the truce with Zion DifferenceEngine and Seraneth incisted on, in order to kill the Merovingian together. Are you still supporting it, Turring? I must admit that TGS wasnt very keen on supporting Zionists working together with the General
Turring: I would not read too much into today's events. Like I have said, this looks like a random infection and not some resurrection of Smith or Neo
Jsong: You made that clear, M4rb, at the meeting. *Smiles.*
RockyB: And I believe we have found our position repudiated, as ever.
M4rb: I know Jsong, just wanted to hear Turring's opinion on it, as DifferenceEngine never contacted TGS directly about it
ShadowReapr: He was rather rude, wasn't he.
Jsong: Turring, the "truce" he speaks of was sponsored by Digital Reality with the support of DifferenceEngine before the glitches started appearing.
Turring: The truce with Zion stands... Helping the Zionists against the Merovingin is a factional issue. If you choose to help or not, there is no offical standing from the Machines
*Jsong nods*
ShadowReapr: Speaking of which, are we any closer to exterminating the Merv?
M4rb: I wonder, was it before or after the glitches started to appear? As a truce with the General, or Zion if you will, doesnt seem very machine- minded
ShadowReapr: I think it is. An alliance with Zion means less collateral damage. Vis a vis, efficient.
Jsong: It was very early in his stay with us, Marb. And, Turring has just confirmed his decisions..
Jsong: Decisions, orders, what have you.
TheTaxidermist: zion i can deal with, I'd just rahter not be another training excercise...
M4rb: Indeed
PlagueOnWheels: It's not Zion I'm concerned about, sir - it's the General.
Turring: There are rumors of the Mero trying to leave the Matrix, how and why, I do not know. Report any findings to me.
M4rb: Zion thinks they're using the General. I'm afraid it's the other way round
Jsong: Of course.
M4rb: Interesting
ShadowReapr: Yup, I've seen reports detailing ambushes of potentials.
Turring: The General, we will wait and see. His forces did steal our case, but aside from that, he is an unknown
Turring: Please excuse me a momment
Turring: Sorry about that...
Jsong: No problem, Turring.
M4rb: Will it ever be revealed what the case contained, Turring?
ShadowReapr: I'm guessing killcodes.
M4rb: Yes. Yes indeed
Turring: Perhaps, but right now, I am not at liberty to say
RockyB: Secret documents, Killcodes, Agent Gray's mid-morning snack? You can tell us Turring.
ShadowReapr: I think he likes muffins. He seems a muffin sort of guy.
ZoeyC: now now everybody, lets not preasure Turring to tell us something hes not supposed to tell us
Jsong: I would have thought Toast..
RockyB: Really? I had him pegged as a bagel boy. But let's not get distracted now.
Turring: We do have a potienal problem on our hands. I will need you to exert pressure on any Zionist connections you have about E Pluribus Neo...
ShadowReapr: Those zealots aren't a threat!
TheTaxidermist: That would be GamiSB, then.
ShadowReapr: Unless they have code bombs, then they would be, somwhat.
TheTaxidermist: shame, I like him..
RockyB: He;s always been a part of the more ... radical elements, GamiSB has.
Eleutherophobia: Although the Neonites have already violated the truce by settng off their code-bombs, would we not be any better by...exertng pressure?
Turring: The Truce with Zion is that we will not stop them from "unplugging" the 1% that reject the simulation... EPN is bent on releasing everyone. I need you to stress to your Zion contacts, they need to deal with this issue. If they can not, we will offer assistance. If they WILL not, we will consider the Truce violated and actions will be taken...
*Eleutherophobia nods.*
ShadowReapr: Interesting, isn't it, the way the Matrix evens itself out...
ShadowReapr: Cypherites want everyone in, E Pluribus out...
Eleutherophobia: Eye for an eye, eh?
SynaptiK: sounds like it
PlagueOnWheels: Balance, if you will.
RockyB: Hmm, it does seem that feeding each side whatever information we collect on the other could have some ... useful results
Jsong: We will start work immediately, Turring...
ShadowReapr: Perhaps organised meets?
RockyB: Cyphertie and Plurubi - Matter and Anti-Matter. An interesting hypothesis
M4rb: Talking about the Cypherites, I heard rumours about a certain Matarax being the liason for the Masked organisation. Did you hear anything about this? Or is this false information?
Turring: EPN's are to considered terrorists, and are not part of the truce...
Turring: You probably know as much as I do about Matarax at this time
RockyB: Much like Morpheus, before his unfortunate death, I presume?
Turring: Correct
ShadowReapr: What with the call-to-arms of Cypherite, have you considered infiltration into their psuedo-organisation?
Turring: But EPN only and not Zion as a whole...
Turring: I am sure some of you have spies in the Magicians ranks...
ShadowReapr: But relations are always thin, and the line will be grey...
RockyB: We have ... resources we can tap, yes
ShadowReapr: Promise them a blue M&M, then they'll talk.
Flutie: The EPNeoists report they only want to free bluepills that want out and to get Neo's body.
Flutie: That's what I just was told
RockyB: Then why are they setting off code bombs!
RockyB: You've all seen the damage those things cause
Flutie: Because, he claims they are outside of the truce now.
Turring: Recent events have proven otherwise. Reports have them setting off code bombs across the city.
Flutie: They think they are above it.
ShadowReapr: A message, of course. A stupid, dangerous message...
RockyB: Look what happened last time someone tried that ...
Turring: This is why to need to exert pressure on your Zion contacts... This is still a Zion issue, they need to deal with it, otherwise we will...
Flutie: It appears GamiSB is with these radicals
ShadowReapr: They have already allied with the General. I don't think many Zionists are up to the task.
Flutie: Turring, do you have record that the EPN ever asked for Neo's body?
Jsong: I have spoken with some of my contacts already, Turring. They have been told that the Council is not prepared to fight against EPN, but they will not aid them either.
ShadowReapr: Just more work for us, eh?
Turring: Flutie, I do not know. I am not privvy to everything
Turring: Jsong, good to know. If that situation changes, inform me immediately...
RockyB: Of course. As a mere machine liason I presume you don't have to know much about the material you're briefing us on.
Jsong: Of course.
Flutie: Supposedly DifferenceEngine may have denied the EPN's request
M4rb: Hopefully the Masked will take care of them for us. As someone said earlier, they're pretty much each others opposites. Maybe they'll cancel each other out *grins*
Turring: That is my hope M4rb, is that the Cypherites and EPN kill each other off and save us the hassle.
RockyB: The machine organisation have been denying the demands of a long list of people, from Morpheus to, maybe, EPN
ShadowReapr: Cypherites are a minority, always decreasing... On the other hand, EPN are growing by the day.
RockyB: It's his crusade they have gotten themselves dragged into, and I see no reason for any difference in their handling
RockyB: Hunt them down, as we did Morpheus. Hound them.
Turring: You know the saying "Only the good die young" and in this case EPN are the good...
ShadowReapr: Ironic choice of words...
RockyB: And what, exactly, is that statement suppsed to mean?
Jsong: Good, eh?
M4rb: What are you expecting of us, operatives, the coming weeks, Turring?
Turring: They will bring down the wrath of everyone upon them and be wiped out, I think. It's a matter of time...
RockyB: And not too much more time, either.
Turring: I must cut this short, I have to get to the analysis of DE.... Death, Beachhead, Jsong please email me times in the next two days we can meet privately. Glitch society, please inform D4sh and have him contact me.... Zoban, Server404, and Methacci
Turring: please email me also
M4rb: Certainly
Turring: No watchmen here it seems, I will contact Shinryu...
Jsong: Of course, Turring. Glad to have you with us.
ZoeyC: its been great speaking with u Turring
ZoeyC: and great news that DE has been captured
Eleutherophobia: Once again, a pleasure Turring.
ShadowReapr: Please feel free to ask of Novus Tempus' services at any time.
M4rb: Indeed, I'm looking forward to further cooperation with you, Turring
PlagueOnWheels: Thank you for shedding some light on the machine's perspective on today's... events.
Turring: Thank you for coming and your help dealing with those agents today...
Turring: I will see you all soon... Have a good evening, I have a long night of analyzing code ahead of me...
PlagueOnWheels: TGS will be in touch, sir
*((TGS simu-jacks))*
Jsong: Evening, Turring.
Turring: Thank you all...
