I'm not sure what his part in all of this is. It's funny, just the other day my Captain and I were sparring with the Merovingian's redpill operative, <I>Insertion</I>, and his friend Crieses. Well, I don't particularly like how the past has come back to haunt me. I regret being unable to call in more of my own resources to take care of him then... But perhaps it's better this way, knowing that he and I are somehow tied together in this and that it couldn't happen then because it is bound to happen to one of us later...
As an Agent of System it's not all peaches and cream. The fruit isn't always ripe, whether it be peaches or not. And the cream's spoiled. I'm trying to preserve a system riddled with loopholes and backdoors. It's no wonder Cainine was able to predict the setup and use Pitiscus to aid him in the Professor's liberation. The Agents are not as efficient as they once were; the Machines resorted to former bluepills like me out of necessity. It may be true that The Initiative, Systematic Chaos, and yes, Ronin, are the Machines' last defense against internal errors resulting in Exile programs and threats of system failure by the actions of E Pluribus Neo who shed more of their kin's blood and tears than we ever could...
But now I am left feeling a lack of efficiency, and it's because of this man having something to do with it... Insertion... I'd like to stick him with one of my knives, perhaps empty a few clips of kill code into him. But it may be my own frustrations talking there, when I don't know quite how deep the puzzle goes. When I was coppertop I worked to create puzzles for the newspaper's entertainment section and now I've gone from being a JoKeR solving the puzzles to a part of the Ronin network, where we choose to solve intricate quizzes and enigmas in order to solve mysteries that catch us by our own human curiosity. Perhaps my foe and I aren't so different if I consider that while I serve the Honor presented by the Code, he wishes to learn of the Merovingian's deeper, darker designs by way of blackmail and deceit.
Fine.
I'll work my way through it...
I have much more to pay attention to before I can decide who is responsible, ultimately. Is it Lucite? Is it Cainine? It isn't who holds the cards that interests me. It's the dealer. From the dealer stems all of the probability and chance. The one in charge is the one who is holding the entire deck and right now I'm not sure who that is. I have my suspicions, but if I am to start getting answers I'll need to start my way from the bottom and work my way up, listening to each and every word before sorting through the bull and getting down to the bottomline. I want the Professor back in our custody for deletion, but even more so I want to make them hurt. I just need to find the right people to start hitting. Eh, I'll work my way through it like I said. I just may need to apologize to a few innocents along the way, if they're still breathing. Then again they're Exiles and mercenaries, so how innocent can all that many of them be?
The path is indeed laden with obstacles and unforseen diversions.
As always, The Initiative is readily available to assist.
This lack of efficiency will not be tolerated.
Very well written, Warblade. I will be in contact, to see how far this rabbit hole really goes...and believe me, I hold no love for Insertion either....and don't get me started on Lucite, Gah!

Thank you for your kind comments, folks. I'm just trying to boost serious roleplayers' interests in the Player Event Team and interaction within the things they've got going on. The Vector PET puts in a lot of their own personal time and effort and I enjoy participating in it. No, they're not paying me to say this.
But it gives us content -- something to do -- whenever attention from the Live Events dev team is placed on the other servers. Therefore it fills in the gap, but in a way specific to Vector. We all know who we are as players by now. The community is small enough to where we're constantly fighting or griping about the same people over and over, trash-talking people that eventually become friends -- or at least acquaintances, even if "Hostile" ones. We all know who Insertion is, he's red. But orgs mean much more. Do we know what drives him and gives him purpose?
Why are you Zion? Why EPN? Why Merovingian? Why Machine? Why Cypherite? I look at exsuscito as an example; changing sides for what you stand for, or justifying your side from your point-of-view, through the eyes of your character.
LEET RP! In retrospect, I probably should have put this thread in Next Ren.
It may be true that The Initiative, Systematic Chaos, and yes, Ronin, are the Machines' last defense against internal errors
Posting this in NR would've hung it out to dry, better here where it'll get read.
Thank you for the kind acknowledgement W4r. I play the game based on what I personally believe in, and how I would envisage myself behaving. Others choose to play game as they would a fps for example, and that's entirely their prerogative. All who are interested in the storyline and the development of their characters however, should realise that the PET are exactly the same. They go out of their way to provide what content they can with the resources and time at hand. They are deserving of a nod in recognition of this, and to counter all the unnecessary griping directed at them.
I would encourage everyone to think a little about their character, and how they can interact with what the PET attempt to inject into the community. If we all get involved, then the content can only increase.
Great post W4r! I hope more players make their own RP posts like this in the future because it helps us to see your personal thoughts and storyline like this. +1 Kudos
Awesome post on every level
that was amazing W4r.... /bowhead
