Recieving message:

We just picked up your distress signal, and will be there to pick you
up shortly. Keep yourself hidden and this beacon on, SOSED. Do not
bother idenitfying yourself, we know who you are.... as well as who you
were. Until you are onboard with us, we will continue to indentify you
only by your old Zion system log-in.

Destination: Zion

We have him and will be arriving at
Zion shortly. Personally, as much as he is a traitor, I would like to see if
there are alternatives to termination. He hasnt killed anyone, thanks to the
rules of the truce, after all. However, if he knows anything about how the
machines are opperating, we will want to know about it.

I reccomend
finding out what we can, then teaching him better.

It's a pity Jet
distroyed all his information entries aboard their ship, as that would give us
some insight as to who is responcible for this. However, we have them both now,
and between them, one of them should talk.....

Dallas out...

//End transmission

All transmissions and signals from the Nostromo have ceased....

Analysis:

Suggests unknown craft came in contact bfiefly before termination of
all signals.... unknown signals have left range of detection.

It has been a few days since the strange men took us on the other ship.... our ship, according to them.... so far, Dallas hasn't given me their names, nor am I sure I want them. Our ship is relatively new, and in-so-far, unnamed, but that doesnt bother any of us.

While I was not inside the Matrix, Dallas has taken the time to explain a few things to me. Before that corner stone of a day, he had been a spy for the machines, and bringing me to Zion as a traitor would only solidiy their trust in him. While flying back, he had sent Alen to drop off a note in one of the Mara newspaper dispensers.... a Machine drop point. Someone got there before he thought they would, and changed the plan.

Effectively now, they should believe us all dead, giving us a clean slate and a jump ahead for whatever the Machines have in mind. As much as I would rather to have not been the sacrificial lamb here, I am comming to like Dallas. He has the air about him, like a very happy pirate who is ready at any time to belt out a laugh and a "Yo, Ho! Me Hearty!" if his accent would allow it. He would gladly enter with me, but he cant.... being a natural born, he cant get in. I dont know why he joined the machines as such, but he has proven true to them so far.... and to have someone who they cant supposedly get to to convince to join them already on their side has been a big bonus.

Alen, on the other hand, is a quiet man, and the technical expert. He enters the Matrix on occasion, but rarely, choosing instead to wait outside and help where his reflexes are not called into question. He would be right at home in front of a TV with a console attached.

Well, I better get some shut-eye... tomorrow we should be landing in the hide-out Dallas and those men were talking about. We should be rid of them then, and maybe by Dallas' mood, see something special.

Edward Diego out.

....things are finally quietting down for a while..... we are at the encampment, as the two men called it, but that is hardly what I would call it. The place looks... well for the sake of using a TV show blue pills seem to still enjoy, even as I dont get why, like the Borg made it. Where there are connections for the Matrix itself, it's wires everywhere, and nothing is built with astetics in mind.

Ah well... we cant have everything. I dont care what the call this place E-01, or something... I like the nickname Hive.... so thats what Im calling it. And all I can say is Im impressed.

Ive spent the last few days between jacking into the Matrix and studying up on all the information this place has on hand that I can fit into my skull.... Dallas, in an effort to help me find what might be best "reading", lead me to the records of the New Renaissance.... so far what I have seen is facinating...

As for the two guys who came with us, they seem alright, if not quiet. They finally gave their names, too.... one is Delacroix, the other calls himself Anderson. I dont know why those names, but it works, I think.

In the Matrix, I met a few new people, at least one of which seems to be comming around to how things are. His name is Johncee, and he is one of the few to open up as a friend inside. Like me, he only woke up rescently. Dallas has been watching our missions, and seen what a tag-team we have become.... though he talks about it as what we could well be.

Also fairly rescently, I have seen operatives of a faction that draws my attention. Dallas calls them Systematic Chaos and told me to watch for them.... I felt like an idiot, but the guy who showed me my own convictions and helped me find my purpose in being awake is appearantly one of them. For that alone, they have my attention, and I hope we run in again. It would be good to see Bayamos again, as well as those he calls his friend.

For now though, while Im logged in, Im busy.... Agent Grey gave me my first mission in which I lead a group to battle. They were only Blue Pills, but even so, we took the business to the Merv group with all the efficiency one could expect. It was a good experience, and the first time Ive heard a blue pill call combat fun. It brought as much a smile to my face as taking down a base meant to hinder the machines who wish to let these people sleep.

Speaking of sleep, my turn to too... we should be back in the tunnels and in our ship soon...

Speaking of, we finally have a name for it... the ship is the CXIV, or to speak it comfortably, the Cixiv.

Ive been on leave effectively for a few days. It seems shortly after meeting Agent Gray in person, the phone system within the Matrix went on the fritz. As a result, I have been told to take the time to learn on the history and explore the areas I would be expected to work in, which I have been doing.

I have also met a new friend and most likely new crewmate. Her name name around here is Lindee, and she has just come back less then a week ago from a major spying opperation. She has been partnered up with me to tag team future major opperations.

Sadly, Johnsee wont be joining us, however, as he sided in the end with Zion. I do not understand why anyone would do this, but I don't hold it against him. He is a good guy, and I know he won't do something he will regret. I also know we will remain on friendly terms. That is simply that.

Also, I have noticed alot of activity in the group of SC, and Bayamos has been around again. I wonder what brings him back here? I know I want to ask... especially since it seems his reccomendation was why the plans for my "test" was changed. Guess he saw reason to believe I would be loyal to the Machines over Zion long before a test could have....

Speaking of Zion, Im monitoring their systems for all news I can on Jet. Im hoping he will get off the hook, or we will get the chance to rescue him soon. I know I will volunteer to be part of the opperation... after all, he helped get me out of there, and what's fair is fair.

But that is for another night..... right now, I think my goal is to get the Cixiv officially declaired an SC ship..... call it a retirement gift to Dallas to try to push this ahead before he has to leave. He will be reinstated to the fairly soon, as was his choice for when he finished his job.

Just gives me one more reason to stay awake... so not just humans, but a good friend can sleep....

Diego Out.
