[10.1.1] ...and who knows about Carlyne - Recursion - 4/8/08

**The_Kid**

Looks like we bailed Carlyne out this time. As for what he says about Halborn, I guess we'll have to see. He still hasn't explained himself, but at least he doesn't have the Oracle's blood on his hands. Anyway, one thing we saw here is that while Halborn may cut right through Agents, he has a hard time when he's alone against us.

This isn't the National Association of Marlon Brando Look Alikes! >_>

Looks like the EPN had a pretty fun event from the looks of it. Lots of shoostings and action.

**Neoteny**

There was no reason for intervention here.

I've worked it out and it goes a little like this:

Halborn came first, on his own, and stays here because he is unable to find the BIP he is looking for - a situation exaggerated by the fact that he killed the only person able to hand out, locate, or create it, the Oracle.
As long as Halborn is in the Matrix, the Machines withdraw from the tunnels of the Real.
Carlyne then showed up, claiming on several occassions that his purpose was to remove Halborn from the System, then leave.
It can be safely presumed that if there are no wireframe men in the Matrix, the war is going to rage as it had previously.
Removing Halborn results in the removal of Carlyne, which would result in the war going back into full force.
Fighting alongside, protecting, or otherwise aiding Carlyne essentially will result in the removal of Halborn, which will result in the continuation of the war.
Meanwhile, the removal of Carlyne would result in the continuation of Halborn's presence, keeping the Machines at bay until:

A. The Machines find a way to get rid of him
B. The Machines make peace with Zion (this is only one option because the vice versa is impossible to do, due to the Machine leadership's stubborness)
C. Zion finds a way to destroy the Machines (highly unlikely)

But it doesn't matter, anyway. Now that he's gone and terminated the Oracle, I'm probably the only buddy the guy has, and he still wanted to beat me up.

Good work, Crusaders!
As Michael said, EPN played a crucial part in foiling this ambush of Halborn's and a special thanks goes to 0221kintupS from Insurgence, as she got between Carlyne and Halborn, giving Carlyne time to sneak into the elevator without Halborn seeing him, ultimately leading to his own retreat after we gave his overridden programs a beating! Quite an operation indeed!

How do I find Out when these Missions are taking Place

**SEPET**

Who is that brave EPN operative jumping out in the middle of intruders fight????

When i jumped into the scene and see the fight between the two I start thinking...... Uh maybe is a bad moment for autograph....

**odj**

Nice event, good distraction at the start and nice ending. Even managed to find a randomly killed runtime (not killed by me) that I was able to loot. SMILEY

B. Peace between Machines and Zion (difficult to accomplish due to the Machine and Zion leadership's stubbornness)

So are you saying that you think letting Halborn stay is the best course of action? Only problem with that is the longer either of them stays in the Simulation increases the likelihood of the Simulation becoming unstable thus risking the lives of the bluepills connected to it... but you've said before that you'd prefer the fraction of Humanity in Zion over the rest of Humanity to survive if it came down to it so I didn't really expect anything else from you.

Oh and I fixed point B.

No, we'd take peace just about any day. The Machines won't even discuss it unless we agree to ludicrous terms and conditions. We could talk any time.

He was checking me out too

That's why you should always wear your duster, Arch. There is nothing to look at then

I was wondering about that too >.<

Good job, Crusaders!

Special thanks to MeretrixMeretricis and 0221kintupS.

Sorry, but if Carlyne got slapped around like Halborn's *CENSORED*, and needed the help of redpill Operatives whose current neurokinetic level maximum capacity is 50, how the hell is that pansy going to get Halborn out of the System?!
