[9.1.1] If he can turn the System's own programs to his ends... - Syntax - 11/16/07

**Cryptos**

Is it the seduction of power, or something else that drives this intruder? He roams the barrens, turning dream into nightmare. If he is not stopped, how many will awaken, screaming in the darkness?

**Manatik**

"Intruder" eh?

**MotorZ**

((At first I thought this was gonna suck, cuz it was just like the Machine crit this week to begin with. Then as we went to Stamos, someone shouts, "I found him!" and this suddenly became one of my favorite events. Actually finding the Intruder so soon after the cinematic was a shock to me, and it was pretty fun. Also, I lol'd at Cryptos saying his signal weakened as he approached. Computer crash, or just Rare being lazy?

))

This guy is a danger to the simulation. He pushed me back with some odd force 20 meters or so, and then took over System programs. I have no idea who this guy might be.

**Kemy**

Mr. Mikado-man!

Looks impressive but all it takes to destroy him is to take one stick away.

lol Reeverb.

Heh I jacked out as this all began..heh shame.

Though this shot is neato...

((Sowwie Rarebit was going into the roof of the org locked building =PP ))

**Croesis**

I never thought I'd be fighting side by side with Cryptos... but the overwritten Agent and Captain programs were a danger to everyone and everything, they were required to be terminated.

So Cryptos and his gang of merry men (and women) decided to jump straight in and aggravate the intruder with his unknown abilities... good job. It's lucky that Machinists who were observing events were on hand to help with the clean up....

((Great event, what started as an observe only mission for a few Machinists turned into a great event for us too....))

Sometimes you must aggravate the bees in order to test their sting, dear. Though I suspect we've yet to see its true potential.

Bee's are one thing, their potential is known. This intruder is a complete unknown. What you did was the equivalent to 20th century teenagers pressing big red buttons in a nuclear bunker... one could be a button for a cup of coffee, the other could mean the end of the world....

((Would you like to play a game?))

Haigen

Perhaps, dear. But sometimes the risk is worth it...

I guess we'll just have to wait to see how big a risk it really was that you were taking on behalf of the system... and how lucky we were when it decided not to use it's full potential.....

Nice screens, Grace.

I guess that something the Machines wouldn't allow...more awakenings in this war. If he is not on the Cypherites site I wonder who his real allies is, maybe something or someone we haven't seen yet. We don't know enough about this Intruder yet and right now he looks like a threat to every organization. Seems like the Zion's have to take over...hmm.

((Woah..nice event Cyph's!!))

**Foxxdie**

Maybe I've just never paid attention, but what is up with the vent things? I've never seen those with the swirl thing.
