From TaeCross: a test

**Shimada**

[TaeCross has asked me to post this for him. He feels those that have Neo in their heart should be of willing mind, body, and spirit. Here is his test for those wishing to prove it.]

1) Solve:

2) In every path, you shall find truths, and you shall find lies. At least one of these doors is a truth; and at least one of these is a lie and one is the correct path. Once you know, the doors will lead you to your answer. Which door do you choose?

3) Walk my path:

It started here. It ended here. And started all over again.

I often come here to meditate, when I am alone. I pass a pawn shop as I leave the hardline, where a desperate mother gives away her old wedding ring to pay the bills. I nearly trip and fall in car sized potholes blocking my path. This part of the city is too run down, too old, too broken to fix. Yet I can almost feel it, it feels like it doesn’t want to be fixed.

I arrive at my destination. Two payphones stand outside. Their wires cut to prevent anyone from escaping by there route. It almost seems ironic given where I am.

I enter the building and get some odd stares. People don’t dress like I do. People don’t look like I do. I am different. I see with different eyes. A woman asks if she can help me. I acknowledge to her with the gentlest of motions, and pass on my way. She shrugs goes back to her work sorting files between two cabinets.

I walk to the elevator, and go on feel the place I must be comes like second nature to me.

There I sit and meditate. My legs crossed, and my eyes closed. I can feel everything around me. Billions of lines and arcs of code flowing in and out like a seamless network. Swelling with code, then contracting and sending each piece on its way. This was the center of it, the origin of the soul of this world.

I can feel the history of this building. So much it has seen. Death at its worst and life at it’s best. It tells me its secrets like an old friend. Whispering in my ear like a beat of a steady bass. It’s thumping its words in and out like a timeless echo. To stop would mean death

I close my eyes, and I begin to feel. I begin to believe.

Will you meditate with me and feel the Neo in your Heart?

Kinda had me convinced there - but seeing this made me realise this isnt The Matrix SMILEY

I have 2 Clues worked out guys SMILEY

**Foxxdie**

It uh... came from Shimada... the E Pluribus Neo controller. It's official.

Perhaps TaeCross has no way of being reached in the real and must resort to using Matrix based communication =P

**Rogue**

Well, since he's only a liason and LESIG, I doubt Sony would supply him with an email address, so he had to create one for his own. Just pretend you are sending him a datadrop, k?

**Operative_xAJx**

*sigh* Trust me to flame the post by the mighty Shimida - God of Code Bombs and Truce Breakers SMILEY

Carry about your business.

**Foxxdie**

Maybe you should get your facts straight about the group first SMILEY

+1 respect point for E Pluribus Neo, if that transmission was actually true. I want to see an apology and promise that these code bombs will not be used again from Kid or Shimada or the liason myself. In the form of a screenshot or message on these forums (by Kid or Shimada).

I'm sorry, but I'm a rather skeptical person.

**Tefnut**

Ummm...an actual question, not my usual sarcasm filled dribble......

Does what happens on Syntex really count for us?

**Fen**

Yeah... Rarebit said in a post that even though different events happen on different servers, they're all part of the same storyline. That's the way they always wanted to envision it, but the whole Neurophyte event kinda screwed up that view.

So, when Agent Gray flips out on Vector, Commandos request to be trained on Syntax, or Machines hunt for a case on Recursion... then that technically happens on every server. For example, Illyria and DragonMaster (sp) are mentioned in the Machine crits on all the servers.
