Bayamos: Anome is going crazy. He is terrorizing the Matrix - you need not be a part of that.
Meillak: Oh no? Opt out, do you think?
Valeska: You could be killing of a cypherite that went back down for the big nap.
Meillak: Ah, no, I don't suppose it is.
Valeska: I got us off track, please continue.
Maruth: Yes, you continue to beat around the bush, Child. Please, share with us what you were going to say.
Meillak: Ah, I don't know, exactly. It's hard to say. Not, what I would say, I mean, but what I was going to say.
Meillak: Oh dear.
Bayamos: If you see anything wrong with what Anome is doing, I think you should consider speaking with Agent Gray. We assure you, although others of your organization have been harmed, the Machines have no wish for you to be harmed.
Meillak: I'm not quite myself, you see. I'm under a lot of pressure.
Bayamos: I can't speak for Veil or the Cypherites, but that's what I think.
Meillak: Oh, I can't do that.
Maruth: It shows, Child. Please, do calm down. You will be fine in our care.
Veil: You're not scared of the suits, are you, dearie?
Meillak: No, no, it's not that.
Meillak: That is, I am, but it's not that.
Valeska: They're just big teddy bears with an even bigger gun, is all...
Meillak: Yes, perhaps we should have a picnic...
Valeska: I'll bring the egg salad.
Meillak: Hm...
Yasamuu: I think we are straying offtopic again...
Valeska: What pressure? Who is making you uncomfortable?
Veil: Why can't you talk to him, then?
Bayamos: I'll bring the hardware requisitions. And some noodles!
Meillak: Hm... Pressure...
Meillak: Oh... I can't talk to him, because... Because...
Meillak: Because he isn't ready yet.
Valeska: He who?
Meillak: Why, Gray who.
Bayamos: Interesting.
Bayamos: Why would you say that?
Maruth: Oh? And what defines 'ready', Child? Are you waiting for something in particular?
Valeska: Isn't ready for what? A bunch of redpills to bring down his system, I doubt any machine could ever be ready for that.
Meillak: Yes, something particular, I would say that.
Valeska: Or actually, let me rephrase.
Meillak: He has to finish his part of the job.
Meillak: Everything has to be in place. There won't be much time.
Maruth: '...his part of the job.'?
Valeska: You don't want to bring down the Matrix, you want to rule it as gods.
Meillak: Oh, yes, yes, probably something like that.
Maruth: What exactly is 'his part of the job'?
Meillak: Oh, something he has to do.
Valeska: I heard of the plan for the offering and what not. And yeah, what has Gray got to do with this...
Meillak: Don't worry, he knows about it.
Bayamos: I see. Well, we will relay this message to him.
Meillak: I mean, he's doing it. He may not know.
Veil: How strange, dear.
Yasamuu: I think you need to be clear here....don't be nervous..
Yasamuu: Relax...
Maruth: Undoubtedly, but please, Meillak. We are asking for your cooperation. What must Agent Gray do to fulfill 'his end of the job'?
Meillak: Yes... Err, no. Not that strange. Clear? No, I can't be. As I said, there won't be much time.
Veil: Time? For what?
Meillak: What? Oh. What must be done. Que sera sera, or however that goes...
Veil: So... What are you doing? Where do you come in?
Valeska: So that still doesn't explain why the heck you're down in this hole.
Meillak: No, no, I would hope that it wouldn't. I'd be rather worried if it did.
Meillak: I mean, it makes sense to me. Or, it did.
Maruth: You seem worried enough.
Meillak: True, true.
Maruth: Let me guess, Child; Anome is unaware of this breach in security, isn't he?
Yasamuu: I doubt we'd be talking to him if anome was aware....
Meillak: Hm. Oh, yes, yes I suppose so. I mean, I hope so.
Bayamos: I agree.
Yasamuu: I bet that settled your nerves....heh.
Maruth: Still, Children, this could merely be a portion of Anome's plan. Misinformation is how many wars are started; and won.
Meillak: Is it? Yes, maybe so. It doesn't quite matter. Well, not yet.
Maruth: Then, do tell, Child. Get to your point, as I'm sure you have one.
Meillak: Do I? Yes...
Meillak: You see...
Meillak: No...
Meillak: Have to be careful... There won't be much time... It isn't ready yet...
Bayamos: "It," eh? Sounds like a device you speak of.
Valeska: Or a Plan.
Meillak: Does it? Hm. Yes, maybe it does.
Meillak: But I think... I think I'd better be going. That should be enough, for now.
Valeska: Spoil sport.
Maruth: Child, forgive my impertinence, but did the cheat code you consumed grant you the ability to have unparalelled uncertainty of your own words?
EpsiIon: Ah, yes. You weren't vague at all. Nope.
Valeska: Give us one last hint.
Bayamos: You sure you don't wish to just come with me to Gray right now? It would be a lot easier.
Meillak: No... And I didn't drink one, actually. They showed them to me... Didn't give me one. Caboclo got one...
Maruth: We have company, Children.
SureShot187: We do?
Bayamos: We've had company for some time. Sureshot is the first to make his presence visible.
EpsiIon: Yeah, he's been here for a while.
Maruth: Oh, Dear...
EpsiIon: Not that it matters.
Meillak: Oh. Yes. Time for me to be going. Past time.
Valeska: ...
SureShot187: Let's go have a chat with Gray Meilak
Valeska: Hope we can meet again. A pleasure talking to you.
Meillak: Remember, there won't be much time. He has to be ready.
Meillak: Was it?
SureShot187: Get your head clear...
Yasamuu: Inresting...Morpheus Legacy weren't so keen on Keterina having a chat with gray...
Yasamuu: why the change of heart
Bayamos: I've already sent him a message. He should be interpreting it now.
Maruth: Well, thank you for your information, Child. It is a shame you couldn't be more elaborate with the details. But, thank you nonetheless, Child.
Meillak: No time... Oh, this is going to hurt.
Veil: What?
Valeska: Oh, Meillak. Remember the poor poor cypherite blue pills the next time you flaunt your code muscle.
EpsiIon: I'd say it was a pleasure, however obscurity isn't a fondess of mine. Perhaps next time you can articulate yourself better.
SureShot187: Don't leave on my account
Meillak: Yes...
Bayamos: We'll be in touch.
EpsiIon: I guess that's that. Huh.
Yasamuu: Well that was intreguing..
Maruth: This does not bode well...
Veil: Hmm.
Maruth: Any ideas, Precious Child?
Bayamos: So, Meillak jacked out. And he hasn't taken a vial.
SureShot187: Veil
Bayamos: That's one twist I wasn't expecting.. the vial bit at least.
SureShot187: Come with me please
Bayamos: Where's Outlaw, Sure?
Veil: Oh, I feel loved.
SureShot187: back in the caves Outlaw is.
Valeska: SureShot... You against us? No competition.
SureShot187: So what have we learned ?
Valeska: Run along
SureShot187: Who said I was here to start something?
Valeska: Hello Tseng.
SureShot187: I know a few things about your buddy
Veil: Nothing personal, dearie.
Veil: Now, I think it's time we were going, too. Who's going to lead the way?
SureShot187: Anome and his plans....
Maruth: We will undoubtedly encounter hostile operatives on our way out, Precious Child.
Bayamos: Hello, Ikkaku.
Ikkaku: greetings
Bayamos: Shall we, Veil?
Veil: That was creepy.
lkkaku: hello to you too
SureShot187: We're talking LARGE scale here people.
Veil: Ooh, twins.
Ikkaku: what a coincidence
lkkaku: we frequent this establishment
EpsiIon: About as much as I frequent the Chateau..
Ikkaku: we hope we arent intruding...
Veil: How lovely.
SureShot187: just as much as I do Ikkaku?
lkkaku: we prefer the term "Monozygotic"
Veil: Hm. Who wouldn't?
Ikkaku: well, please excuse the disruption
lkkaku: carry on, we must be going
Veil: Oh, certainly.
SureShot187: Please come again twins ... have a good night
SureShot187: looking lovely Maruth
Maruth: Thank you, Child.
SureShot187: Keep urself covered up
Renzouken: Opening "Ceremony" tomorrow lol.
Renzouken: Should be good, last one was.
