Do we know that for sure? I can't remember if he had any visible holes in him, but when the Mjolnir crew couldn't find Niobe or Ghost, Mauser said "Should we jack in and try to contact them", which would suggest that he can jack in too.

First scene in Revolutions you get a good shot at his arm. He has no holes in it thus he was Freeborn.

Didn't Mauser die protecting Lock?

Nope, no body was found where Lock was and all EPN could find was some blood, electro gun burn marks all over the place, and his finger prints.

Gami is correct. You also get a good shot of him in the end of Reloaded when they're talking about the battle where the EMP went off and took out all the ships. No plugs on Mauser.

Heh-hey, that's gotta be Halborn!

The cheeky beggar's back without his usual technology, so he's as vulnerable as the rest of us. He won't have much luck continuing his search in a normal RSI. Have at him, boys and girls.

He's not pilot or operator so I think he's a pod born.

Negatory.

No holes.

**Coro**

Does no holes in the arms necessarily mean freeborn? Weren't Neo's superfluous metal bits removed? Couldn't Mauser have simply be awakened for a sufficiently long period that his holes have healed over? Do we ever see the back of Mauser's head? Surely, that's the only way to truely confirm whether we might see him in The Matrix.

coro...watch the movies again.

Don't make someone break out a nekkid Neo pic.

Well, the Zion mission today confirms who that person is...

Well, it confirms who it appears to be, anyway.

It has been confirmed in the lastest crit and in footage of Mauser on board the Hammer that he did not have a cranial jack on his neck. My best guess is one of the Intruders or the General got ahold of him and allowed him to jack into the Matrix. Because the Machines would not send a report to look for an operative if he was jacked in with their tools and system. His disorientation to the Matrix is probably causing him to use hardlines at an accelerating pace than normal.

My morbid guess is that Halborn found the BIP and Mauser's body, transferred his consciousness into Mauser's body, and is lingering in the Matrix for some reason. Another darker guess is that the Machines used advanced technology to jack him into the Matrix and then overwrote his RSI programming and are holding him there for whatever reason.

A guess on the light side is that Carlyne happened upon his injured frame, took pity on him, and brought him on board, putting him into the Matrix to keep him from getting into trouble on his ship. Or similarly, Mauser, laying injured in the Real, is near Halborn's ship when it powers down due to Carlyne's virus, and he takes the opportunity to board it and jack himself into the Matrix to keep himself alive, similar to how Halborn keeps himself alive despite being "dead" for centuries (perhaps the same reason on Carlyne's vessel).

Personally, I have a hard time believing that it's Mauser.

Wait, wait. So after Unlimits with Pew Pew Lazers, Flys that take Human form and shoot people, Seraph "exorcising" people, Cryptos having overwritten Mech eyes, Wireframe Men with even more pew pew.. explosion lazers, you honestly can't believe that a guy with no apparent jacks can jack into the Matrix?

Fixed.

And I agree. Nothing is far-fetched in this game anymore.
