Tonight, a renegade group of E Pluribus Neo, known as the Libertas Verius deployed and executed several code bombs (not code pulse devices like we use) in the Downtown Hampton area.  Let it be known that these...monsters...have nothing to do with those who are loyal crusaders.  We do not and NEVER will condone the murder of bluepills.

E Pluribus Neo Crusaders that have been sighted at the scene assisting this group will be found and brought to justice.

Personally, I'm disapointed in certain Machine operatives, who seemed to just enjoy the bloodbath than killing the rogue EPN who had the manuals to disarm the bomb.  Hell, the Cypherite LO was very close to doing this, and I can't believe the words that are coming out of my mouth when I say I was cheering her on.


Christ I need a drink....

The blood of the innocent covers the hands of Libertas Verus, they knew it would happen, they wanted it to happen, they allowed it to happen. They claim to be setting the Human race free whilst their actions endanger them. There is also the matter of who supplied them with their weapons, they too will be brought to justice, one way or another.

((After this event I have lost all of my hope in the community of MxO, the pvpers have gotten out of hand this time, and Im about to call it quits all together. When we are doing an event where we can actually disarm the code bombs, but people think its more fun to run around with the flame virus flagging people and killing them for a bugged CQ, Im done.))

They managed to set off 3 bombs tonight. And more will come... See you in a month or so after my trip to zion.

((subscript ends tomorrow))

I personally don't have an RSI signature for that instance, but I have an Exile friend who ventures there from time to time. If this doesn't get the Provisioner to move his fat toushe and do something, considering how out-spoken he's been about the damage these mooks threaten to his habitat, nothing will.

Not that I am endorsing the actions of this group, but the loss of two bluepills doesn't hold a candle to the collateral damage caused by the Machines and their thug wannabes in pursuit of "enemies of the system".

Lest you forget, every time an Agent overwrites a bluepill, their life expectancy suddenly becomes remarkably short. Not to mention the trauma that must be experienced by those that survive the experience.

Collateral on the same scale as 5-6 code bombs which harm the system and endanger innocent civilians? Casualties would have been a lot higher if it wasn't for the work of those 'thug wannabes', in fact I saw Machinists, Cyphs, Zionites, EPN and Mervs all working to prevent these bombs going off.

I'm quite frankly disgusted that you'd use this terrible event to throw a cheapshot toward the Machines. Just remember the reason why an Agent overwrites a bluepill is to protect the system and it's population from harm and/or actions commited by those opposing the system, the outcome of the bluepill lies solely on those taking action against the Agent. As for the trauma 'experienced' by bluepills... where is this ever suggested? Redpills, who are more aware of their surroundings than bluepills, who got overwritten couldn't remember what they had done in those months, it'd be remarkable if bluepills could remember what they had done. If of course they survive and are not killed by Zion/EPN or Merovingian.

Anyway, back on topic, I'd like to extend my thanks to all of those who helped try to prevent the bombs from detonating and to stop LV from their actions. I doubt we've seen the last of these bigots.

What's the cheaper shot - criticizing the sparse use of code bombs? Or criticizing the common occurrence of agent intrusion? Seems like a no-brainer to me.

As for the incident?

Good for these guys. Glad to see some initiative. It's come to the point where death is the only way some prisoners will achieve any freedom, and the only way where we will be able to achieve total freedom.

While I have my own code bombs, and in no short supply, I've been saving them for a rainy day. Maybe I should change that.

I'm sorry for you. If you think that code bombs save these people then you are wrong. These people die. They are not being saved. The Libertas Verius group should be hunted down and be killed.

Freedom by death? Do they get a choice about it? Something you've been so adament about giving them in the past. I can see now that you are either weak willed and can't keep to your own convictions, or you're a liar.

A code bomb has much more potential to damage the simulation and kill innocents then an Agent which attempts to protect the system and the innocents within. You're right, it is a no brainer.

So when is your interview for joining LV then?

((Admittedly I did see a few Machinists who I don't personally believe acted in the spirit of the situation, but the ones I saw were the usuals who can't resist taking advantage of that kind of situation. Mind you I did see some members of other Orgs taking the opportunity to put in a punt or two to other Orgs, so I guess all sides have that type of person in them.))

:: Written on the back of a paper menu from a sandwich shop in Tabor Park ::

I have no words to describe how *ANGRY* I am at this situation. To anyone who cheers this outrage, all I can say is, what happens when the entire Matrix comes down? Where are people like me supposed to live? I have no interest in entering a machine body, since I have no desire to live in the Real and lose what I have here. I don't want to lose the rich life and its abundance of sense experiences; living in a Machine body would be tantamount to setting up housekeeping in a sensory deprivation tank. As would living in a construct for the rest of my life. And considering that I, due to my digital nature, am in effect arguably an immortal, that is going to be a very, very, very long time. But what can I expect from people who inflicted similar things to their nearest biological relatives, the great apes, and used them for unspeakable experiments. You humans go on about how cruel the Machines are, take a look at your own history for a change. Your own hands drip with the blood of your own kind and that of every other species. 

You humans make me sick.

I have reviewed casualty estimates, from Machine files. There were locations our brief scan didn't take into account.

I'm afraid the bluepill death toll is a little more grave...
