Greetings,

I want you all to know I will be out of the simulation for an extended period of time.   I am partaking in a sensitive operation in the Real, which I am not at liberty to discuss at this time.  On or slightly before midnight tomorrow (May 24th), the Hovercrafts Maladomi, Rhino, and Gemini will meet, at which point, I, Augustus "Villemar" Montez, my sister Lola "MissLola" Montez, and our loyal friend Jane "NovDuJour" Doe will disembark our respective crafts and board an abandoned but salvageable ship we've discovered and proceed upon our mission.  The ship is very old and in poor shape but functional enough for our purposes.  Unfortunatly we will not have access to the simulation from this ship.  I suspect we will be gone anywhere from two to four weeks.  I possibly may have access to the public broadcast network here, so I may not be totally incommunicado.

Don't break the Matrix while we're gone.

Back.

The mission.....raised too many questions than my small mind could handle.  I expected to come back with a success story but all I got for my efforts was a headful of questions.  I risk falling into the trap posed by Umberto Eco in Foucault's Pendulum...make too many connections between too many things and The Plan becomes Real.

Why thank you for your well wishes, Mnemasyne.  They are well appreciated.

To sum things up, I found out about a group of survivors in the real, who decided to opt out of the human-machine war by putting themselves in stasis for a thousand years.  I was unable to locate them, however.
