[8.3.5] Merv mission feedback thread: "Unplugged"

**Tranque101**

I dislike the abruptness in which this ended. :/ Hopefully the next will fill in some questions.

So basically Hypatia sent us to the Archivists to find anything out about why Mary MacHenry was removed from her pod, the Archivists didn't have it, but they knew where to get it some records related to it! Malphas looked them over and said during the first version of Matrix, 14 people had their muscles repaired and removed from the pods just like Mary was! But why? The General interrupted saying there are a LOT of Machines around the Machine city for some reason, and his sentinels were leaving the area. This is building up to something!

I liked Persephone talking about her old life, like she couldn't remember if she was an actual Machine in the real world or just a program.. if I read what she said right! SMILEY

I also really liked the Machines talking to each other about... was it about cleaning? It's funny to think of what Machines talk about among themselves SMILEY

Hmm, maybe the Machines are choosing bluepills to stock the next version of Zion.

I thought there was no need for Zion anymore since this whole "One" business was over with, and bluepills weren't allowed to be extracted. SMILEY

No truce = back to normal business.

I really do believe there should have been variation in the archivists... Too many times do we run into a mission and there's a bunch of mission-exclusive npc's there that could really use some sprucing up to make things more interesting.

Good mission, though.

Finally got through my Merv crits. Liked seeing the "upload data through a HL" thing used again, but like the "Lead person to HL" in the Zion missions, it didn't need to be used multiple times.

Personally Merv missions have always been my favorites, and this subchapters were no different. Great job on these, and looking forward to what happens with them in 9.1

Unfortunately my Vector Merv is only a lvl 10 (finally got HJ!) coder, so I didn't have download mission map or hacking, dunno if it was ever needed, though.

This mission the security had 2 of them that didn't attack me, don't know why. Good missions though for all 3 orgs for 8.3.

EDIT: Thought this was interesting from the Machine 4.1.4(I think) crit.

Might not be the same thing, but was interesting anyway.

hmm for once that old man might prove usefully i wonder what you people have come across

The cliffhanger ending left me scratching my head. What's up with the Machines conditioning and unplugging humans quietly? And I suspect the Generel stumbled onto something the Machines really don't want to have uncovered, hence the urgency in his tone and why he got cut off so suddenly: I actually felt a little worried for him.

The bit with Persephone talking about her existence before she went into Exile was touching: I like these little character insights.
