The Future of the Matrix

iRomav

I did this post on the old forums, and thought I'd try it again here. I
personally feel it would be a good discussion to get everyone's
thoughts or hopes for the future of the MxO storyline.

What does everyone hope will happen before the game's story comes to a conclusion? (if it ever does.)

I hope for the following:

The Merovingian's organization to fall to pieces. This isn't a
personal stab at the Merv's, more I just feel the Merovingian is the
background "bad guy", and it would be nice for the climax of the game's
storyline to be something along the lines of the Merovingian being
deleted (killed.)

An ending to Morpheus' final quest (to have the remains of Neo to
be returned to Zion.) The quest doesn't need to be a success in my
opinion, even if it's simply revealed what happened to the remains and
why the Machines refuse to return them.

Final victory against the Red-Eyed Agents (and the "General"
character, once we learn what he's about.) Perhaps even a twist to the
story, such as the General is actually in the end considered to be a
good guy.

Cypherite organization ending... Perhaps an agreement made that
the Cypherites are returned to the Matrix and are not to be awakened
ever again. Something creative along those lines. Failing that,
something big (such as the Cypherites manage to cripple the city of
Zion as a whole, perhaps killing thousands?)

Sarah Edmonton. I want to find out more about her, perhaps just
an event following her on some adventure in which the truth about her
is revealed. I really don't know what to say about her. Same applies to
The_Kid. I'd like to see if there's something special about him.

Those are the points I can think of off hand. I'd be very interested to see what you all hope to happen in the future.

Question....Whos Sarah Edmonton?

**SPOILERS**

Sarah Edmonton was a woman from a tabloid clipping we found during
a mission who was taken to hospital for some reason and was caught on
cctv walking out, apparantly unhurt in any way.

The strangest thing about her however, is that her name is a perfect
anogram of Thomas Anderson, co-incidence? I think not, as here is my
opinion: Please bear with me, it's a little long winded.

The search for Ms Edmonton begins, and maybe it's up to us to find who
this new "one" is, perhaps the machines will get her, or the merov, or
zion, just like the last 6 times. But as we know from the past, the one
ended with a cycle that had happened 6 times before, with Neo (in the
last instance) fighting off the Omega to his Alpha, the yang to his
yin, his opposite, in the form of the Smith Virus.

OK, so bear with me, i'm almost done.

So, in order for the cycle to continue, Edmonton would need an opposite
also to bring the entire matrix version 7 to a close/system restart. In
the past, Neo was a male and so was smith, and so i can think of only
one logical person for Edmontons opposite to be:

Agent Pace, the only female agent in existance, made to replace agent skinner.

And the rest, as they say, is history in the making.

What do you think?:smileyvery-happy:

I'd like to see Zion fall to pieces. Good guys don't always win,
and "good" is an arbitrary term. I, personally, cannot think of
anything more evil than Zion. So, I'd like it to be left up to
the storyline per server as to whether or not the Merovingian, or Niobe
or whoever leads Zion now, gets the axe.

Furthermore, the Merovingian survived 5 (or maybe 6, i forget) systemic
anomalies. Good luck finding something strong enough out there to
rub out the Merv.

Also, about Sarah. She's still up in the air as far as which org
she'd join. If you remember, before there was only Zion to
join. There's absolutely no guarantee that she'd choose to join
Zion IF she is "teh 0n3". The Devil is known as the great
Tempter. Also, far better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.

Yeah the thought of Agent Pace being the 'Smith' to Sarah Edmonton has passed my mind too.

I hope if they do another Neo vs Smith (through Edmonton and Pace)
there's at least something different about it (eg. Not having Pace
being able to copy herself would be a start, otherwise it'll just seem
the same as the films)

Could be interesting to see how this turns out though.

Actually I think it wouldn't be too difficult for the Merovingian to be killed. Two reasons.

1) In Matrix Revolutions Trinity points a gun to the Merovingians head
and said something along the lines of "either you give us Neo, or we
all die right here". The Merovingian gave in, thus pretty much telling
us he knew he had been defeated.

2) Same case, cinematic 2.1 of MxO. Merv once again gives in when he sees Ghost behind him with a rifle aimed at him.

However I believe if either Trinity or Ghost had taken the kill, neither would have escaped with their lives.

Wow! If i had know more about the Sarah Edmonton chick i might have come up with that same idea myself. SMILEY

Maybe if Sarah Edmonton is a re-arranged version of Thomas Anderson then maybe the names of the other 5 "ones" before Neo were anagrams of Thomas Anderson. I wonder how many other names you could get from that. SMILEY

Good point. Would be a thing to look into if Sarah does infact become the next "One".

I hope sometime in the future we learn of some of the previous One's.
Would make an interesting novel or something for the Wachowski's to
back.

Or something to ponder about or learn about for an event during post event downtime.

I bet this threads gonna get deleted cos we're getting to close to the truth!

If Aether could see us now he'd be proud :smileyhappy:

If i had all of a sudden decided to move to Seattle i'd probebly try to apply for a job with the SOE live events team. I tell ya if i were on that team you would see a little bit more progression of the events. By now we would probebly be well into the 2.2 event(whatever that might be). SMILEY

NanoTM

Well so far i know that my handle(NanoTM) is a partial anagram of Thomas Anderson. So is my bluepill first name(Theo), maybe I am the next one.

Okay, maybe i'm just dreamin. I bet if we tried making a name with a Thomas Anderson agrangment as the bluepill name that character would be deleted and the name put on the restricted names list. SMILEY

Uknowhoo

So heres my question, if you are the one in a world where being the one means your making a choice that is not offered to you, what are you in a world where there is peace and the choice is peace or anarchy?

Wow...
I've actually never thought of it that way. If another One emerges in
the Matrix, what will his/her purpose be? I like your thinking,
Hoosonova.

Uknowhoo

not only that, but remeber that the one infected an agent like a virus (twice) that became a rogue program, it could initially cause that same program to still pop up some where. Causing two one's to be running around with no specific agenda but to change an unknown variable already in an unknown or contrrolled state.

That probably means that, if all this was going to come true, then the
truce would have to collapse for the existance of the next anomaly...

Interesting theories......confusing to say the least, but they make you think indeed.

And as for the re-occurence of the virus program (smith) check my big huge post on the first page.
