[7.2.4] It's not a hovercraft captain's signal like we thought - Vector - 5/15/07

**The_Kid**

Hey everyone,

It was tough, but we finally managed to trace the origin of the Nabonidus captain's signal we've been picking up along with the Morpheus broadcasts, and...well, it turns out that it's fake.

Whoever's behind it did a real good job of hiding the source by bouncing it off multiple radio towers in the city, and an old relay point in the Real. And they have got their hands on secure Zion ship records, because the signal matched the signature Zion had for the Nabonidus, Morpheus' old ship.

But we've double-checked our results, and the signal's definitely originating within the Matrix itself. That means it can't be a hovercraft beacon signal like it's made out to be. We don't know who's sending it, but...it isn't what a lot of us hoped it was.

Just a word of advice from one leader to another; pay more attention, Kid. This was planned by the General.

You've come a long way. Your operatives are proud to follow you while many, many others admire the courage you've always had. You haven't let your emotions get in the way yet, but remember that Neo and Morpheus are both incredibly inspirational. For that reason, you've got to continue to keep your emotions in check.

P.S. If anyone doubts this kid's courage, how about getting in a combat suit and taking on the rest of the sentinels outside Zion? I bet you if worst comes to worst, Michael's gonna be the first to lock and load.

Interesting stuff- I bet a lot of the skeptics are gonna be chuffed with this event! I like the way that Kid's attention hasn't just gone "oh no! it isn't Morpheus, what will we do" but rather he's determined to find out who did it and how they were able to do it - which will make it an interesting journey to follow rather than an anticlimatic end.

As for who'se doing it, my theory would be the other entity that wants to create hostility between man and machine - The General.

My friends,

We have hoped for so long now that we could find out the source of the transmission and now we have done just that. True, it's not what we thought we would find but we need to keep going on this. We need to find out who is behind this, quickly.

We've all had our theories and no doubt there are going to be a whole lot more now that we have this piece of the puzzle. We need to keep them out of our minds and work on finding out the facts.

See you inside,

Wow.... well that sucks....

Oh geeze... The General confessed; he even made fun of you guys when he did it. If I was with EPN, I'd be a little worried about how my superiors ignore things. I don't usually send out two transmissions in regards to the same thing, but this is frustrating.

I think that many would share in the disappointment of these results. There is an element to Morpheus, which serves as a father figure; certainly to myself.

However, I do find myself relieved that the reliability of the signal has been shown to be spurious. Were the revelations that Neo was alive and being imprisoned by The Machines found to hold worth, there would be enormous implications to the future of The Matrix and The Real.

NightTrace

haha, a bunch of EPN faction leaders...and then "LARunner". At least that has been taken care of.

**Vaico**

I still believe these messages to have been made and broadcast by Morpheus. He simply made it seem like it was coming from the real. To keep his enemies looking for him in the wrong place.

NightTrace

Ziessman and I had a discussion about this today. I'll leave it for him to talk about if he wants to, as I beleive him saying it would get less crys of "Your wrong" then if I posted myself.

**SolidRevolver**

I have heard theories that The General is responsible for everything, Cyph's, EPN, getting Morpheus shot and that all along The Merv and The General are in cahoots from the beginning. I dont believe it but with this happening, it makes it look more like that.

((But saying that, saying it was the General is too obvious, Rarebit has hinted to a big twist, The General is too obvious.... hmmm))

Mnemasyne

This is very disappointing news to hear, and I agree with Vaico that it was a means of keeping us going in the wrong direction. I can also see FrozenFyre's idea of it being the General. As it was said a few weeks ago, "There are no coincidences."

Another question that arises from this is how, assuming it is him, would he be in a position to get secure Zion ship records; those of the Nabonidus itself?

We definitely need to get to the bottom of this as Khepril said, Pluribus. Our work isn't done by any means.

**Vaico**

The General is too busy getting slaughtered by the Machines and Zion to do this. Not to mention the Machines have control of his ability to broadcast in the Matrix and have destroyed his main base in the Matrix. Also The Machines made the Cypherites through their Overwritten Cryptos.. not the General.

**aracher**

Time will tell wheter one of us is right. But I am with vaico on this one and ill be working with as many people as i can to help get to the bottom of this.

**Archangel**

This is far from over. Let's continue searching for the truth.

And now for a rare occasion when I will quote Cypher...
