I don't need to sit here and take this - Recursion - 5/16/06

**Anome**

I am so sick of having to play the friggin' nice guy here while everyone and their mother walks all over us.

I mean, I can't even conduct a simple recruiting mission without a gang of masked freaks showing up, with their ridiculous stories about how we're better off not knowing what's really going on. The bluepill--this politician, Robert Kendall--was a dude seriously down on his luck; he'd lost an election in suspicious circumstances, and his wife walked out on him with his kids, while his friends turned their backs. He couldn't believe it; something wasn't right. He knew it. But he couldn't handle it--started to crack up.

I'd been following his campaign; I always thought he was a guy who saw things straight, at least as far as politics go. So naturally, if he's starting to wake up to the unreality he's living in, I'm gonna give him a chance at getting to the real truth. He deserved better than the stuff the simulation had been shovelling at him.

But can I even have a quiet chat with him? Oh, no! Somehow--probably through another spy in Zion--the Cypherites found out about it, crashed our nice little discussion, and started bombarding him with all their baloney. They even stooped to playing on his feelings for his family. Those bastards have no shame at all.

You can guess what happened. It was overload; Robert was already on the edge, and them shouting at him from all sides pushed him over. He tried to get away, tried to run, and the whole pack of masked bastards chased the poor guy down the street, right out into traffic. It was all over by the time I caught up to them. Robert was just another traffic statistic: one more goofball who didn't look both ways before crossing the street. That's how they'll write it up, you just watch.

It just makes me so goddamn sick. I'm through lettin' people push me around. The only thing these animals respect is the barrel of a gun. And I'll friggin' give it to 'em, in spades. Nobody's pushin' me around anymore.

Yes, Anome. You pushed him. Right into that street. That man had a wife and two daughters that he loved. So he was down on his luck. So are a lot of people. I didn't hear you mentioning the blue pill to him, or how much he had to lose. I didn't hear you offering a choice like Zion claims to. You are nothing but a mindless buffoon who was looking for another recruit. And when things went sour, you did what you could to save your ego.

Murderer. You will pay for this.

**GamiSB**

Wow for once I agree with Anome. Can possibly interest you in a gold tag? We share a common interest now ^^

Also really Cyphs the logs say it all and if anyone takes the time to read whats up there it's very obvious that it was actually YOU! Who drove him running out of the club. YOU that brought back the wife and kids that left and YOU that are responsible for the death. You know a dead blue pill doesn't help the system any better then a freed one. Who knows if you had let him become freed you might actually have gotten another recruit.

Causing strife in your own ranks, Anome. Already, have you brought valued operatives to flee zion's chaotic ways.
In no way do I support the cypherite cause, but you went too far here, Anome.

**Symmetric**

To say I'm disappointed in you is an understatement, Anome. I always thought you were better than that.

**Mercio**

wow. thats really all that comes to mind at this moment, wow.

You cypherites are heartless... Couldnt you see Robert wanted to know the truth, to know what was real! He had enough of the lies that were being shoved directly down his throat. And you have the freaken nerve to turn and twist and distort things to such an extent that he RUNS away only to be struck down by a car. You make me sick. i think i want to throw up.

And Anome i have a new found respect for you.

Hehehee... someone is pissed. Let's see if your actions live up to your words, Anome. One innocent man dead, what else is new. I do feel for the guy, don't get me wrong, but at least he doesn't have to deal with his crappy life anymore. Still, there could have been another way. Oh well...

Also, I didn't know you could die by cars in here, I never see any.... Guess you learn something new every day...

Wow Nome.. just wow....

It's hard not to love that last picture... Anome running away with almost everyone else a bit occupied...

"The Bluepill is nothing more than a sleeping pill from a reputable company called Slumberil. Where is the Redpill made?" - Words that should've been spoken.

Since when did Zion recruit old men that could easily have a heart attack during the transistion? Anome, your tactics are careless and caused the termination of a bluepill. Either way, during the extraction or due to mental breakdown, he would not have survived the awakining process. The stress would've been too much for him.

Cypherites, even though your efforts were for a good cause, you should let humans decide for themselves. That is freedom of choice. Agents will stop important individuals from taking the pill if they deem it necessary for the bluepill population. Have faith in the system.

**MxOAlicethePattern**

Heh... Phrack (recursion) kills hundreds of innocent people and Anome kills one... yet the first is a hero and the second is belittled by his own Organization...

Anome, you should have said you did it for Zion, then they'd still be on your side.

Oh balls! lol...

Next time things get sticky like that, Anome, give me a call. Bluepill awakenings are one of the Angels' specialties. We could have at least made your pest problem go away.
