What is your hovercraft's name?

**weaselgrrl**

And why did you choose it?

I am Captain of the Grand Illusion.

The name struck a chord with me (no pun)
as the Matrix is, itself, an illusion. It was kind of an homage
to the whole idea of the Matrix. It is also the name of that Styx album and the imagery of crossing over from one world to the next worked pretty well in a Matrixey context.

So there. SMILEY

O.o

Mine is called the Hvcft Avenger...

To avenge the lives of Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity...

And well, that's about it for my hovercraft...

**Enon_**

I'm First Mate of the Art Collectors, from the True Minds faction. To be honest we only have 2 really active players in TM.... Me and Artificer, Captain and Leader.

Wouldn't you be on a Hoverbarge?

Or is everyone getting special refurbished Hovercrafts from Zion all of a sudden... lol SMILEY

**Stack**

Hoverbarges are for players who don't have crews. There's a critical
mission for Zion (one of the Meet Niobe missions) where Lock contacts
you and promotes you to the rank of Captain and says that a Zion
Hovercraft is at your command. They've said that there were some
transport ships that weren't destroyed with the rest of the fleet that
have been retrofitted in order to broadcast. Besides, I'd think it
would take longer to build hoverbarges than hovercraft :smileywink:

Anyway, back on topic, my hovercraft is called The Belteshazzar. It was
the name given to Daniel by King Nebuchadnezzar when the Israelites
were held in exile in Babylon. Daniel interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's
dreams, and so he promoted Daniel and made him the ruler of the entire
province of Babylon.

**eyepopper**

i am stationed on the HvCft Trunkline. a trunkline is the actual, physical long-distance phone line.

hehe, back in the day one could "hijack" trunklines and make free long
distance phone calls. then the "agents" found out about it.

Since becoming a captain for No Exit, and eventually commander, I've
had two ships, the first the Nothingness is temporarly out of service,
and has been replaced by the Facticity. Both these names are the
names of books written by Jean Paul Sartre, a philosopher who's works
No Exit is based upon.

Shadow Griever

I am captain of the Arbiter, the one that controls the hand of fate

Im a first mate on The Revenant in the recursion server. It is one big *CENSORED* ship, as it holds 6 different crews on it.

**Foxxdie**

I am Captain of the Hovercraft Revenant

The name Revenant means "One that returns after a lengthy absence" or "One who returns after death."

This is a reference both to our belief that Neo will "return from
death," or rather that his mind/soul/essence remains intact within the
Matrix and will eventually return, and to the ship's backstory.

The ship was discovered before the truce however it was not
commissioned for active use since it was not equipped with any weapons
and it was a very large and clunky ship. Instead the ship was used for
spare parts to fix the other ships of the Zion Fleet.

After the truce, we no longer need weapons on our ships since the
Sentinels will no longer attack us. I remembered the Revenant and
decided to petition for its commissioning. I was granted the ship and
then we set about to restore it. In a circle-of-life-like bit of poetic
justice we used spare parts from the ships destroyed in the EMP debacle
before the battle of the docks to restore the Revenant.

The ship itself returned from death and remains in working order apart from the occasional need for maintenance.

On the ship plaque, it says "MARK IX No. 10." I used the same scheme as
the ship plaques from the movies in that this marking refers to a
passage in the Christian Bible, specifically in the Book of Mark.

Mark 9:10 - "They observed the warning faithfully, though among
themselves they discussed what ‘rising from the dead’ could mean."

Needless to say this whole thing was carefully planned since the game was in early beta. SMILEY

**DarkRevenantW**

Captain of the Sol Darkness....

We all agreed on the name towards the end of beta, in itself it has no specific meaning, but it is actually a fusion of the abbreviated form of two websites we all met up at (IMO In-my-opinion.org & MeX Matrix-Explained.com) So to us it was founded on and means the coming together of free minds who share the same beliefs :smileyhappy:
