Yes, I did this on my own... but in the end, something good came out of it. Guess you'll just have to wait and see hehe..
He was gunna die anyways.... *shrugs*Machine operatives were ordered to kill any Cypherites, so, I did no wrong. And he spawned the agent. That agent wouldn't of left him alone until he was dead, he wouldn't of even made it out the door, but meh.. was fun.
It's not entirely true that the Technician couldn't escape death, assuming that agent was just like any other level 255 agent. If someone had recall loaded, s/he could've sent the Technician a team invitation, and then recalled him. That would've gotten rid of the agent. (I've done it before.) I bet none of you Mechs knew that, did you? However, as far as I know, it's normally impossible for level 255 agents to show up in Datamine, so the event must've been designed for the Technician to die. Maybe more agents would've appeared if they got rid of the first one.
Also, just to clarify, I'm not saying this because I wanted the Technician to be saved. He was trying to find the Oracle so that the Machines could help Halborn get to her. If Halborn does find the Oracle, there's a very good chance that he'll kill her if she doesn't say what he wants to hear, just like he killed Gray. I don't know if the Oracle can be restored as easily as Gray was, but I'd rather not take that risk. I'm not sure if that's why ChloeAnn was trying to get the Technician killed, but either way, I'm happy with the outcome.
