[7.2.5] The Cypherite controller and I came to a friendly agreement - Recursion - 5/17/07

**Agent_Pace**

Buon giorno, operatives. I was pleased to be able to speak with many of you about current operations. It is refreshing to see your enthusiasm for protecting the System.

Efficientemente,

Agent Pace
System Liaison

I loved the bit where it said "Ignoring NightTrace". Yet, it didn't say anything about ignoring the Cypherites at the Q&A session or the one talking about how hot it was to make-out with Veil.

PS: I bet you were REALLY dreading making this thread, Mr. Bit. SMILEY

**ZippyTheSquirrel**

Oooh, wow, he flipped someone the bird. Totally inappropiate Matrix behavior.

Well, anyway, nice to see just how much Pace has been affected, and to see her freely conversing with even the Cypherites.

NightTrace

Thanks for the pity event. Im glad I could make it, even if I did get ignored for being IC.

Take Car, Agent

Well, Agent Pace, that was certainly a very productive meeting. I am hoping that the relationship between the Machinists and the Cypherites continues to improve.

Oh, and thanks to all of the Machinists who helped out, tonight.

Yes, Cappy, that means you.

**Shinryu**

Well, that certainly appeared to be rather pointless. So the new way of "operating with" the Cypherites that Gray spoke of was simply offering them more power and influence? And Pace seems proud of herself for "negotiating" such a great deal? *sighs*

**Neoteny**

The sooner we speak, the better, Machines. It isn't speaking much to your character, or your willingness to maintain peace, for that matter, that you would continue to sponsor those who are killing our operatives, sabotaging our equipment, spying on us, and lying to the inhabitants of your own System, even after your so-called "control factor" has been removed.

God help me, if something doesn't happen soon... Maybe I'll see it plainly why Morpheus did what he did.

As for you, Neoteny... Well, a large portion of Zionites are still supporting EPN. That's a bit strange. While both Cypherites and EPN are misguided groups on the fringe of fanaticism, the Cypherites are at least concerned with the well-being of the System which must be maintained at all costs. E Pluribus Neo disregards the importance of the System and its rules time and time again, chasing its own tail.

You're only feeding the fire by supporting Cypherite relations. It'll only serve to make Zionites bitter, especially we who believe wholeheartedly in this Truce. And that will foster further E Pluribus Neo support, if not bolster their ranks.

I would also like to take this opportunity to reassert that in no way does Zion as a whole support E Pluribus Neo. Should individual operatives decide to do so, that is at their own discression, poor though it may be.

However, the fact remains that the Cypherites have killed our Captains in cold blood, not to mention the recent case where they then used the stolen hovercraft to EMP bomb the gates of Zion. What was the last "attrocity" that E Pluribus Neo has committed? Stealing information from the System? Come now...

Beside that little fact, if E Pluribus Neo is truly the problem, why are the Cypherites being assigned to spy and attack Zion? Shouldn't they be working on undermining E Pluribus Neo?

((I guess you're pissed? :-/

Oh and anybody noticed? But since her "repair" she only wears the naughty-naughty (as Rarebit once called them) sunglasses. I guess it's a sign that some of her human characteristics have been removed on the way.))

Rest assured, Machinists aren't pleased either. Note, however, that the Machines have requested Cypherite help in spying on Zion - that's all. The moment that Cypherites kill innocents on Machine orders or as a direct result of Machine orders... that's the day that everything's gone to hell.

**cloudwolf**

(( hmm... its odd that the movement of zion's resources has apparently become public discussable knowledge. Thought it was all meant to be hush hush between the agents and certain secret service cyphs. The line between IC and OOC knowledge needs to be kept in mind at all times. ))

**Procurator**

(( A lot of people saw it on computer screens, and probably felt like discussing it.

There's a general problem with how much people know. Missions, cinematics, live events... It's all public OOC, but ends up public IC too. I reckon there are just a lot of leaks. ))

**cloudwolf**

(( Yeah, spose. But that charistic of OOC knowledge should never comprimise the premise of the story, ya know? Besides, i always presumed hackable computers within your own orgs bases wern't meant to be public knowledge points, why else would they be locked out to their own operatives? ))
