[10.2.2] Our knowledge of the storm is still only rudimentary - Vector - 5/28/08

The program CAR80N's tale of robotic tears did not enrich our scientific understanding of the Dark Storm as had been hoped, and his supposedly first-hand account of life at ground zero, as it were, contained several subtle deviations from--or elaborations on--the conventional mythology.

Hm I believe we did well, hm?

History is never what it was, especially to the people who lived in it. Surely an entity like you, Malphas, whose very existance has sparked countless legends, should know that.

I am curious as to the Merv's motives in regards to DarkStorm. He is an exile, he is not even a machine. He's an electronic entity located exclusively within the matrix and it's constructs.

I can see him using it as a bargaining chip though, considering as it is the reason for the Machine's use of humans as energy. Dark Storm, in essence, is the instrument that has dictated the lives of trillions (man, machine or other) for centuries. If he can control it, he can change the way we live...

...or set the terms of living for us.

Anyone else get a "Aperture Science A.I." vibe from CAR8ON's speaking manner?

I got the whole "robot/AI" vibe. Because that was around before the game Portal.

What he told was interesting but nothing any of us didn't know. Maybe a different perspective, but the same story none the less. And we asked so many questions that he couldn't or wouldn't answer to not seen in this event post.

Interesting event. I had fun.

Also, three bucks on the Intruder colony being the humans who still found it profitable to trade with the Machines.

VERY enlightening event! These are the type of events I love. The kind that sheds more historical light on past events in The Matrix.

I didn't know The Matrix storyline was written by M. Night Shyamalan.

Ha! I kid. Good event, and definitely brings up a lot of questions.

This does confirm, however, that the humans struck first.
