I was fortunate enough to be asked to attend a recent meeting of our operatives and liaison officer Keterina. It was a real morale-booster for me to have a chance to talk with my fellow EPN in a relaxed atmosphere, and I think I was able to answer some important questions for our operatives who were there.
Unfortunately, a terrible accident was about to occur. I found out later that shortly after I left, a contingent of Machine operatives, lead by their officer, Systematica, arrived outside the club, asking to speak to Keterina. Apparently, they wanted a clarification on EPN's position in light of TaeCross's recent, tragic rampage. Keterina decided that she wanted to handle this herself, and gave the Machines permission to transport her away for questioning.
While I'm sure that Keterina knew what she was doing, I sure as heck would have stepped in myself if I had known she was going to put herself in that kind of situation. I don't think she discussed it with any of us beforehand. Everybody knows how headstrong she is once she sets her mind to something.
As it turns out, what the Machines may or may not have done with her could be a moot point. According to them--and the evidence we have seems to corroborate this, although I don't rule out the possibility of their interference--code corruption from Anome's soldiers in the area disrupted their transportation process, and sent Keterina to... Well, we don't know where it sent her to.
We're trying everything we can think of to track her down. The Machines have promised their assistance, but we haven't got any real results from them. I know you'll all keep Keterina in your thoughts, as I do, until we're able to find her and bring her home. If you come across any information concerning her current whereabouts, be sure to report it right away.
Thanks, everyone.

Go figure, the Machines blamed us for hacking her out and told their operatives the ceasefire was off.
That didn't go so well for the Machs standing nearby .
So they knew it was the Unlimiteds? And still told their operatives to kill us? This is getting really old.

I have informed my operatives to make this search a priority. Keterina will be found.
It's a shame we couldn't see the answers to these questions, because it could have shed some light into what some people see as a nebulous organization.
Read Michael's previous speeches, not hard with the forum options. You'll get it cleared up in no time. Though you might find it to be different from what some people have told you.

Systematica: There seems to be an interception with Keterina's RSI.
Fri Aug 25 18:54:22 2006 [Tell] SOE+MXO+Vector-Hostile+Systematica: You tell me operative. Keterina's RSI transmission to our construct is being hacked into.
Fri Aug 25 19:01:18 2006 [Tell] SOE+MXO+Vector-Hostile+Systematica: Keterina's RSI transmission to our construct has been hacked. We have lost her connection.
Fri Aug 25 19:01:41 2006 [Tell] SOE+MXO+Vector-Hostile+Systematica: This is a breach in negotiations. Cease Fire has been cancelled.
It appeared that Keterina was forced to the construct for interrogation without her consent (because she didn't tell us that she had agreed to doing this). Then Systematica seemed to blame the RSI hack on us and terminated cease fire.
EPN, Insurgence, and I will do whatever it takes to get Keterina back. I will not sleep, eat, or jackout until Keterina is located. This is my top priority. I know that she is alive but it is unknown if she is injured or conscious. She sent me a message right after she was teleported:
Keterina Whispers> "Something isn't right.... get ba..... the clu................." At this point I yelled for everyone to get back into the club and waited to see if we would hear from her again and we didn't.
We need everyone's support to find her. Perhaps even the Effectuator again.
Sezar, I hope you are taking care of her on ya'lls hovercraft. Read to her...
We will find you Ket, I promise.
Maybe she's communing with Neo somewhere..... but seriously - if I see any bits of her floating in the river I will be sure and let you people know!
nice pics and why doesnt "The Kid" just have a name?
He does. It's Michael Popper.
Keterina will be found....
dont worry about it she should be fine. If the toasters wanted her dead they would of fried her already. Besides she can handle herslef.
I would just like to take this chance that i am very happy to be aboard the EPN group and i will fight til the end untill the answers show themselfs
