*You have entered Stamos.*
*You are now susceptible to PvP*
*You are now using the Kung-Fu martial arts style.*
Stackk: What the hell?...
*Intruder crosses his arms.*
Stackk: Oh...
*Screenshot saved as ./screenshot_176.bmp.*
Intruder: You were expecting someone else?
Stackk: Well, I wasn't exactly expecting the room I was in to vanish like that, but... that's beside the point.
*Screenshot saved as ./screenshot_285.jpg.*
Stackk: I see you got our message.
*Screenshot saved as ./screenshot_177.bmp.*
Intruder: Mm-hm.
Stackk: So... is there any assistance we can offer you?
*You target [Intruder] the level 100 Awakened.*

[Tell] LuciousBrujah: get your *CENSORED* back up here, Michael is asking for you
[Tell] To LuciousBrujah: I, uh... I'm talking to the Intruder at the moment.... That'll have to wait.
Stackk: Not to, erm, imply that you need any. We have certainly seen what you are capable of here.
*Screenshot saved as ./screenshot_181.bmp.*
Intruder: Hm...
*Screenshot saved as ./screenshot_182.bmp.*
[Tell] LuciousBrujah: where are you, location
Stackk: We are... concerned about your presence here. We hope that it is not threatening to us, and we are willing to help you achieve whatever it is you seek here.
*Screenshot saved as ./screenshot_183.bmp.*
Intruder: In your message...
[Tell] To Fuscienne: Hey, uh... I've made contact with the Intruder, just to let you know. We're in Stamos, if the others should be privy to that information.
[Tell] Fuscienne: Has he said he'd meet with us?
[Tell] To Fuscienne: Not yet. He's just talking to me at the moment.
[Tell] LuciousBrujah: whats your coordinates
Intruder: You talked about...freeing yourselves from this place.
[Tell] Fuscienne: Alright, let us know if we can all come to where you are.
Stackk: Yes, we did. We are not native to this simulation.
Stackk: We have rejected it as our home and hope to restore what we have left of our own world.

*[Intruder] is friendly.*
Intruder: Yes... Aren't there more of you somewhere?
Stackk: Yes, actually. Is it all right if they join us?
*Intruder shrugs indifferently.*
Stackk: I will let them know, then, unless you object. I'm sure they're all eager to meet you.
Intruder: Mm-hm.
[Tell] LuciousBrujah: whats happening over there
[Tell] To LuciousBrujah: Had to make sure he was all right with everyone showing up as well. Hold on...
[Tell] LuciousBrujah: ok
[Tell] To LuciousBrujah: It sounds like it's all right. I'm at X-406 Y-34 Z-9. Go ahead and tell the others.
Stackk: All right, I've let the others know where we are. They should be arriving soon.
Intruder: Ah.
Stackk: Is there... anything specific we can help you with? We don't really know much about you.
Stackk: We're all intrigued by your appearance here. Where exactly did you come from?...
*You are wondering about Intruder.*

*Screenshot saved as ./screenshot_198.bmp.*
Intruder: That isn't important.
Stackk: To us it is. It is too easy to fear what we do not understand.
Stackk: Ah, glad you guys found the place.... Is everybody else coming?
*Amative waves to Kid.*
shinpseudo: Indeed they are.
*Watcher Snoop was just killed by Intruder.*
*Watcher Spy was just killed by Intruder.*

*Watcher Snoop was just killed by Gerik.*
Intruder: ...were talking about more than just getting yourselves out.
*Watcher Spy was just killed by Gerik.*
Senliten: any lives lost and not counted fer?
Senliten: speak up
*Watcher Snoop was just killed by LuciousBrujah.*
Stackk: We've gotten ourselves out. The rest, though, are still trapped.
ShiXinFeng: He's not as big as they said he was.
*Amative looks around Intruder.*
Intruder: By that you mean the rest of mankind, I take it?
Agent (shouting): You are not authorized in this area.
Stackk: Yes.
Intruder: And why would you want to do that?
ShiXinFeng: Sorry, what was the question?
Steelle: Mankind deserves more than slavery
Stackk: It is not our natural home. We were imprisoned here.
Senliten: Ummm ni....nice to ... meet you ummm..... *sigh* i guess i have to cal you Intruder like everyone else =/
Steelle: Would you wish slavery upon those you care about
ShiXinFeng: Hmm. Do you have anyone you care about, for that matter?
Steelle: Everyone has someone Shix.
Intruder: You were imprisoned... But before you knew you were, you didn't care about it.
XElite: Most of us.
XElite: If we're lucky.
shinpseudo: Pill, you're breaking his personal space bubble.
ShiXinFeng: Shh. I want to see what he says.
Neopill: ?
Stackk: We still felt it, though--everybody does. That this place isn't right for us.
Neopill: Im just curious about him.
Steelle: Realization of the prison doesn't make that imprisonment any better, any more deserved any more tolerable
*Watcher Leg Man was just killed by Amative.*
*Watcher Snoop was just killed by ShiXinFeng.*
Senliten: Robo move to me so your out of there range
*Watcher Leg Man was just killed by ShiXinFeng.*
Stackk: It is in our nature to understand the truth.
Havocide: Woah.
Senliten: there
Intruder: And by "us" you again mean all of humanity.
*Amative nods at Intruder.*
Stackk: Yes.
*Screenshot saved as ./screenshot_200.bmp.*
Intruder: How very noble.
*Screenshot saved as ./screenshot_201.bmp.*
Senliten: >
*Screenshot saved as ./screenshot_202.bmp.*
microprocessore: of course
shinpseudo: You mock?
Steelle: To speak for all of mankind?
Senliten: eh?
ShiXinFeng: Well, and the Machines too, for those of us who truly follow Neo's example.
Stackk: I'm... glad you understand....

Senliten: gah honstly
Serenipidy: procreate
Steelle: Rebuild humanity
*Watcher Leg Man was just killed by Senliten.*
ShiXinFeng: Go ahead Stackk
Intruder: With what?
Stackk: We would restore our true home.
Steelle: Mankind has always been a persevering race. We have new zion, it would be done gradually
Stackk: We realize that it will take time, though. A task of such magnitude cannot be accomplished overnight.
*Screenshot saved as ./screenshot_207.bmp.*
ShiXinFeng: Survive. Love. Live. Grow stronger. Build better. Learn from our mistakes.
Steelle: Rome was not built in a day, although...perhaps the rome we see in the matrix
*Screenshot saved as ./screenshot_208.bmp.*
Neopill: There are rumors of clear skies and life out there.....
*Sputnik4 hugs IMarz.*
*Screenshot saved as ./screenshot_209.bmp.*
Intruder: No, I shouldn't think so.
Neopill: somewhere.
*IMarz bows to Sputnik4.*
XElite: Sounds good, ShiXin.
*Sputnik4 curtseys formally at IMarz.*
*Steelle kneels before Intruder.*
*Screenshot saved as ./screenshot_210.bmp.*
Intruder: Rome was also built on the blood of countless thousands.
Neopill: machines coming......
Steelle: An interesting point
psilody: thats a good point now isnt it?
Stackk: Have you seen it? The dark clouds? The deserted lands?...
*Watcher Snoop was just killed by LuciousBrujah.*
Intruder: They were realists, you see.
*Watcher Snoop was just killed by LuciousBrujah.*
XElite: How so?
Steelle: And what are you?
Senliten: Rome may of bbeen by the blood of thousands but they all those thousands wanted to see a new furture .. i think
psilody: oh yeah, like their slaves wanted to die
Intruder: No, of course not.
Intruder: They probably wanted to escape.
ShiXinFeng: Who, the Romans? Realists? Somehow I think greed motivated them somewhat more than nobility
Steelle: And now we're back to freedom don't you see.
psilody: yes the freedom to choose
Stackk: We know that it will take sacrifices. Neo has already....
Senliten: to choose to build a new future ...
Steelle: We are the slaves..this matrix is the rome that was built on the blood of thousands...our thousands
psilody: if some choose the Matrix, would we deny them that?
Anakin79: people should b told whats really going on
Intruder: Haha... But the slaves didn't end up taking over Rome.
Stackk: ...Well, we still don't know what happened to him, but he sacrificed much to save us.
ShiXinFeng: Didn't they?
Intruder: They were killed along with the Romans...
ShiXinFeng: Who owns Rome today?
Steelle: You think we want to be that much like rome
ShiXinFeng: No one
psilody: there is no Rome
Intruder: Just following an analogy.
Steelle: History is the last thing we wish to repaet
Senliten: no rome in my home =/
Agent (shouting): You are not authorized in this area.
psilody: agent!
Stackk: ...History is not always doomed to repeat itself.
ShiXinFeng: Precisely.
Serenipidy: that civilisation each bowing out to the next dominant power
Intruder: So tell me...
Stackk: That is why we seek knowledge so ardently.
Steelle: Only those who do not understand and study history are doomed to repeat it
*Akhen was just killed by Agent Jones.*
Intruder: ...how will you go about freeing the rest of the slaves?
Volgon: Volgon 's phone starts to ring.
*Senliten kneels before Akhen.*
Senliten: seriously another headshot
Senliten: ...
Intruder: You must have some sort of plan?
ShiXinFeng: One at a time, if we must.
Akhen: ty
*Watcher Snoop was just killed by LuciousBrujah.*
HumanWare: whos this intruder?
Stackk: We have our own regular means of freeing those who come close to the truth.
*Watcher Leg Man was just killed by LuciousBrujah.*
Steelle: Carefully, extracted in a precise means
Volgon: Volgon brushes off the dust from the fight and answers his phone.
HumanWare: howd he get here?
Agent (shouting): You are not authorized in this area.
Steelle: But he's right to ask how we would extract those who...cannot let go, so to say
Volgon: Volgon puts the phone to his ear.
XElite: Rome was, at its core, founded on a class system. I think the majority of EPN work tirelessly to avoid such discriminations.
ShiXinFeng: But no, there is no grand plan for a mass awakening, if that's what you're asking.
Stackk: If you are implying that there is a more efficient means, we would be glad to hear it.

Intruder: In fact, I was hoping you had some sort of resources...
Havocide: Such as?
Steelle: for your plans?
Agent (shouting): Escape is impossible.
Stackk: Resources to accomplish what?
psilody: what wopuld you do with such resopurces?
Agent (shouting): Escape is impossible.
Steelle: Lets not hound him with question
Steelle: His business is his own
ShiXinFeng: Hmm. What would one who possesses the power you are rumored to have need with the likes of us?
Intruder: Nuclear missiles, viral drones...something along those lines, I suppose.
Steelle: We after all requested this meeting
Havocide: Er..
Intruder: No?
*Volgon picks up something for Watcher Snoop.*
psilody: lol
Steelle: In the real you mean?
ShiXinFeng: Why would we tell you that?
Amative: Amative raises an eyebrow at Intruder.
Senliten: EMCP's?
XElite: With great power comes great reponsibility. It is evident you weild such power in the Simulation...
Stackk: What is it that you seek to accomplish?...
Intruder: Hm.
*Intruder looks around.*
Intruder: Well, that's too bad.
Havocide: What?
Intruder: It might have made things more interesting.
Steelle: What do you need those for?
Agent (shouting): You are not authorized in this area.
shinpseudo: For whom?
Havocide: What is your name?
Dracian (shouting): Come on out terrorists!
ShiXinFeng: Are you looking for entertainment?

Piggy4U: do you have a interent in being on out side?
Piggy4U: our*
XElite: If there was an objective or goal you wish, to achieve...
XElite: Perhaps through sharing it with us...
ShiXinFeng: C'mon, don't be shy. What do you want with the Matrix?
XElite: We could assist you towards it.
Stackk: We have told you of our goals. Are you willing to share your own with us?
Agent (shouting): You are not authorized in this area.
Agent (shouting): Escape is impossible.
Intruder: Oh, just...natural curiosity.
Piggy4U: lol
psilody: well we're curioous about you too
Anakin79: HAVE U LEARNED SOMETHING INTRUDER?
Piggy4U: nah.. there is something your not saying
*Watcher Leg Man was just killed by Neopill.*
*Watcher Leg Man was just killed by Zayqar.*
ShiXinFeng: Wow. You think we are cosmically dumb.
Stackk: Curiosity... and seeking the truth.... Perhaps our goals are much the same, then.
*Watcher Leg Man was just killed by Zayqar.*
*Watcher Leg Man was just killed by Sputnik4.*
psilody: where?
LuciousBrujah: from what we gathered in the old archives, it was nuclear weapons that helped the machines enslave humanity, because they could not be destroyed by them
*Intruder looks around you.*
*Screenshot saved as ./screenshot_221.bmp.*
Intruder: Yes... Doubtlessly.
psilody: K Mirr, ill be there shortly
*Intruder looks around.*
Stackk: It is this questioning nature that has freed us... that has brought us here.
Anakin79: what will u do with that knowledge?
ShiXinFeng: Tell ME something Stranger. Why are we still here?
Havocide: Because we choose to be.
Piggy4U: are we in danger
Intruder: Not really.
Piggy4U: hmm
*Screenshot saved as ./screenshot_222.bmp.*
Havocide: Do you have a name? Per say?

Neopill: He knows more than he cares to chare.
Neopill: share*
Fuscienne: Still makes you wonder what he's really thinking.
Anakin79: i agree
ShiXinFeng: "not really" could mean a lot of things.
Senliten: Umm is it safe to say what i asked sir? to let others think or dwell on
ShiXinFeng: What do you think, Michael?
Kid: Yeah... I wouldn't call it reassuring.
Mirraiz: Oh ok, do you have port?

Piggy4U: got me thinking now,, lol
Mirraiz: Ok thanks anyway
Steelle: Well thats awesome
shinpseudo: It could have gone much worse.
psilody: my apologies
Kid: At least he was interested in talking...I think.
Piggy4U: so it seems
ShiXinFeng: So, what now?
Havocide: Nuclear weapons?
Neopill: Picking our brains is what it seemed like to me.
