I'm with Tygrius on this.
And Tranque's offenses are killing Agents? C'mon! Any Agent that redpills can kill is a joke anyway. And identifying redpills that can kill Agents is just identifying allies.
I'll do what I can to preserve the good doctor as we have had several mutually beneficial dealings in the past and I look forward to the future.
Might one enquire as to the nature of this Agent's death? Standard methods of 'killing' an Agent only result in killing the bluepill host. If a specific Agent Killcode was used then I'm sure the system has enough resources to replace the Agent. Thus the nature of the crime changes from killing an Agent to the killing of a bluepill.
Quite frankly, what interests me more is what system given purpose does this 'former Agent Barnsley' have now? If he is not receiving instructions from the System then he is not acting on behalf system and this apprehension of a criminal seems more like a personal vendetta, I would assume he is required to return to the source for analysis and recompiling. A rogue Agent can be just as dangerous, if not more so than an exile. Looks like I'll be submitting some information requests to Gray to find out the this 'former Agent's' status with the system.
From what I understand failure to comply to return to the source would mean his forced removal from the Simulation or a choice to go into hiding from actual System Agents. Thus he would become an Exile.
Identification of the Exile: TranqueThePhilosophe on the Syntax instance is to be reported to the System.
Response Action Priority: Medium (Exile standard priority).
Identification of the Rogue Agent presumed Exile: Barnsley on the Syntax instance is to be reported to the System.
Response Action Priority: Medium-High.
Barnsley likes to think he has a purpose. Hence his blundering into situations he doesn't understand. Darn fool nearly cost us some intel. Don't think I'll be forgetting that quickly.
A good Agent is a dead Agent.

I could say the same about EPN operatives. Regardless, until I get notice of otherwise from the system, Barnsley is no longer an Agent of the System and as such needs to return to the source. At this moment in time TranqueThePhilosophe is inconsequential.
I would Like to point out Im not a machine opperative. I'm zion to the bone baby.
((and as for this.. its getting interesting.))
Yes! Come join the rest of you, Barnsley!!!

Well, I'm not going to argue. Whether he is a true Agent or not I'm still going to look forward to kicking his arse. Even if it is only to make me feel better.

Interesting how you assume I am an exile. Machine technology at its finest.
If you nosy fellows *must* know I had a run in with a spot of radiation in the real, and it hasn't been doing this old body any good. I find when I jack into the matrix it interrupts my signal e'ery so often therefore I am very sporadic in its usage as of late.
Regardless, I will be in and out in the upcoming days to take care of some patients, and to have Seville manage some assets.

The way I see it, I heard from this former Agent that you work for the Merovingian and, in my opinion, regardless of being Human or Program, that brings you under the umbrella term of Exile, at least for me. It's not a derogatory term, at least it doesn't have the intent of being so, it's just easier to bunch you all together. Easier but not accurate or efficient, then again, I'm only Human.
Barnsley, Barnsley. That's how you pay for the enlightment that Tranque provided you? Is it that how you're wasting the favour Tranque said he owes you? By attacking him? Being that I'm in charge of his security and that I want to think of myself as more than a simple bodyguard, you have to apprehend me first. That if I don't hack your shell to the bits and left you floating like the last time we meet.
Former Agent Barnsley? Is that like the equivalent of a disgraced, failed ex-cop working as a security guard for Toys R Us on the graveyard shift for minumum wage?
Anyways, please pay us a visit on Vector at your earliest convenience. I'm sure many of us would be most pleased to make your aquaintance!

He'll cut you for looking at him funny. Srs.

EDIT: Wait, I just realized: why is this so threatening? And how did he kill an Agent? Agents of the System cannot be destroyed without a kill-algorithm specifically tuned to deleting that individual program. This is like the Systemic equivalent of not only spitting at passing cars on the highway but also missing.

Just be glad my desire to have fun was put aside for more important matters.

You can at least kill the Bluepill host the Agent has jumped into, if not the actual program. Two words, from Trinity: "Dodge this."

That was my point. Why is this at all important in any way? Why is there so much special attention being granted to someone who does something what people concievably do all the time in the Matrix? It's basically like having the police waylay you and saying "you're under arrest for... well, not a whole lot".
