So towards the beginning of MxO, we had a character name Sarah who apparently got up one day in the hospital and just walked out. Since then no one has seen her, and EPN has tried to find her through one of her friends.

What I want to know is, how will this story arc end? Will it be mentioned in the end story events?

Remember when people were getting warned and banned for excessive negativity? Well I thought about it today, dug through my old threads, and I found this image.

It made me laugh then and it's still making me laugh. SMILEY

So my cat has been hunting down these bugs that has leg like grasshoppers, but is light brown, has long antlers and is circlular. One was found dead in her water bowl.

What's ironic is she doesn't even bat them around, she just....follows them.

So on MMORPG.com, on the Matrix Online forums, they're talking about MxO 2. It's a pretty good joke...

Simple question really.

What I'll take away is the memories, the memories of the events, of meeting characters like Niobe, Gray, Pace, Veil, Cryptos, The Merovingian, Ookami. The memories of LESIG's made events, which was awesome, and of course LESIG themselves. I will take away hwo inspiring MxO has been in my RPing Meta's character. I can't believe how well my RP material was, and I've never been as inspired in any other game. However most important of all, I will take away the community, because it was the community that made MxO special, made it feel like home.

I love you guys.

Dear SOE,

The Matrix Online was my first MMO, I brought it because I wanted to play an Agent. I went to gaming stores to try to find a copy of it, and I even heard that the servers has been shut down and I was too late. However I didn't believe him. I went online and found MxO's home page and to my joy the servers were still up. I ordered my copy of the game (which I still have) and a game card. Hell I even brought a new video card so that I could at least play moderately well on it.

I was so excited when I first jacked in, so much to do, so much to see, and events! Oh my Gods the events! I joined in right at the beginning of the first anniversary and of the spawn of the sleepwalkers! I got even more excited when I started to meet characters from the Matrix inside the game! Sure they were Devs playing characters, but in my mind, the 4th wall was never broken.

Pretty soon I was hyperjumping and running all over MegaCity. Gray wanted my help with Anome and his Unlimits, the Bag Lady wanted help. There was endless things to do, endless players to see! Every corner, every crook and nanny of this city was unique and so was this game. I even took part in Beta-testing CR 2.0, which I got a cool hat for. I thought this game would always be supported.

Then after CR 2.0, you started cutting out things from us. You started taking away Devs like HCFrog and Walrus (true Walrus did come back), leaving Rarebit to run the game himself. Then Chadwick quit after the Unlimit Arc. I never cared for Chadwick's writing style, I thought they were too comic-book-ish, however he was a link between MxO and The Wachowski Brothers. That was a very important link because what Chadwick wrote was Canon.

Ok, so we've taken a few hits, and maybe after awhile things will get better. Maybe SOE will re-establish that all important link with another story teller, maybe they'll swing another dev by us. Nope, the cuts just keep coming. We didn't have an animator or whatever else was needed, so Rarebit had to recycle content. Which I thought he excelled at. I mean Rarebit was a very talented guy, he could do very much with very little!

I want to talk about Rarebit for a minute here. Now it's true that when he was the last Dev here, he became the focus point of all our anger, rage, disappointment, , etc. We didn't like what he was doing with the storyline, we let him know it, and Gods did we. We didn't like the recycled content, and once again, boy did we let him know it. However, I do have to hand it to the man. When SOE wasn't responding to us, he did. When SOE didn't answer us, he did. He wrote the story after Chadwick left, he created "new" content. Like I said, he did much, with little. He was a divider, and a uniter. I'd hate to think that he quit because we ran him out. I hope he has no ill wills towards us, because I don't think any of us has any ill wills towards him.

Anyways, so we're left with Rarebit, LESIG 2.0, and Walrus who checks in on us once in awhile. Ok, so things didn't look like they weren't improving, but at least we were leveling out. At least we still had what counted in the MxO universe. A continuing storyline, Dev, Org Liaisons who created side stories (Viracondra was the best IMHO), and missions etc. Sure we had the Cinematics cut and then replaced with the shadow of it's former self. However, it seems SOE like to kick a community when it's down.

Rarebit quits, which was a shocking news for all of us. He spelled out his storyline all the way up to Chapter 14, in which I think was suppose to be the end game. After this, many people of the MxO Community sent out letters, e-mails, we wrote on the forums, we contacted Walrus, we tried everything to talk to you. We wanted to make sure that we were going to get a break, that another Dev would be found. However, all we got back was silence. We never could break that wall of silence. We didn't even get anything from Walrus until now.

Then we got the news, all MxO servers goes dark on July 31st, 2009. The Matrix Universe will end. This is what broke the wall of silence. Not we're getting an Intern Dev, not that this game will contiune at a reduced price, not that we're merging Three Servers into One. All of these options we would hate, but we would've accepted. No, it's that y'all are closing the servers down.

You know, I really really would like to know why now, why not right after Rarebit quit? It's obvious now that y'all weren't going to refill his position. Hell, even after he quit, some of us tried to create smaller community stories. I know my faction Familia Grigori make it's own RP, and I tried to get something going. What was the deciding factor to finally close the servers? Will you tell us, probably not, which goes right along with your track record with us at MxO.

Remember back at the top of my letter? When I described my excitment and joy about jacking into the Matrix Online? This was after SOE has taken over, fired most of the Devs and PET. See, instead of investing in MxO, instead of putting a little money into it, y'all decided to lock it in the closet and feed it left overs from other games. It's amazing we lasted so long, and it's no wonder why we're now going dark. We're not going dark because the community failed, we're not going dark because we were a financial sinkhole, we're going dark because of you SOE. We're going dark because you refused to invest in us, we're going dark because you apparently don't understand simple concept like Customer Service, or To make money, you have to spend money.

So, why even take MxO from Monolith? Why even take a game that you weren't going to invest in? Were we nothing more than stepping stones for DC Universe MMO for you guys? Is that why y'all kept us around for so long? If that's the case, then that means you only dated us so you could sleep with our sister.

I will tell you this SOE, you will never find another community like MxO's. We are a loyal, dedicated, and tight community, we never say die. Sure we have our fights, and we have our disagreements, but when push comes to shove, we always band together. Good luck finding that in EQ, Plantside, SWG, or any other games you have, or will have. Thanks to your inactions, you have lost a large percentage of us as customers after July 31st. You certainly have lost me.

I hope some of y'all will keep in touch with me. SMILEY

MxO was one of the last standing thing from the Matrix Franchise, we lasted well into 2009, even when the Matrix: Revolution was released in 2003. So, is this the end of the Matrix Franchise? Will the story of the Computer Simulation end when we go dark, or will it resurface in the future like Star Wars?

As of right now, I don't think it'll resurface, but I'd like to be proven wrong.

((This is Meta's end story))

The Pentacle represent Spirit, Water, Fire, Earth and Air. It is one of Wiccans most sacred symbols.

Meta always hated clubs, but he did need to get out and enjoy himself once in awhile. Which is why he is sitting at a bench at Club Parallaxis sipping on a bottle of Blue Moon. He watch Goth and punk men and women dance to Marylin Manson. The bright lights were moving across the dance floors and walls, and everyone was sweating and dancing to the beat. A few even threw glow sticks around, it was like a rave but without the drugs.

The bench was made of metal, and had a thin cushion on the bottom of it, Meta found it somewhat uncomfortable, but he did not mind. A tall shapely woman approach him. Her hair had streaks of blue in it, her eyes were half open, with deep blue pupils. Her skin pale, and not from cosmetics. She sports a spiked choker, black lipstick, a gray T-shirt and dark green baggy pants with lots of pockets and chains. Finally, a pentacle hangs from her neck by the way of a small chain. She sits down next to Meta and smiles at him. Meta glances over and smirks back.

“Hey, I've never seen you here before.” she speaks.
“First time here, thought I'd check out the action.” He replies.
“Cool, my name is Amy, what's yours?”
“Sean”
“Whats on the end of your necklace?”

Meta looks over at her and pulls out his Pentacle. Her smiles widen and so does his. “Do you want to go somewhere more private? You seem to be more of quiet type around large groups.”

Meta nods, they both get up, she grabs his hand and lead him up the stairs across the walkway to where the private rooms where. The hallways leading to the private rooms were dark, littered with cups, tissues, foods, and the walls are littered with decades of posters being put up and ripped down. She approach a door at the far end, pulls out a key and unlocks it.

They both enter into the room, to the right was a three person couch, with a faded worn look to it, and throw pillows on both end. To one side of the couch was an end table, with cans on top of it, and a revolver. On the far side of the room was a similar couch, with potted plants on both ends. To the left was a lamp, with a faded cover. Following that lamp was a larger couch, large enough for four people to sit on. However it too look worn and has faded color. On the opposite end of that couch was a flat screen TV. On the ceiling was a fan, with a light on it. The fan lazily whirs away.
Amy chuckles “Wow..what a dump.”
Meta chuckles along with her, “Yea, you'd think this club could at least hire one maid.” She laughs and smoothly walks over and sit on the larger couch. Meta sits beside her.

Amy and Meta talked for a half an hour about various topics, and then their eyes meet. Her blue eyes locked in on his brown eyes. All the sudden, she leans in and kisses him deeply. Meta gasp, fights a little but soon gives in. She deepens the kiss and Meta closes his eyes. The kiss was warm, inviting, his mind was being filled with ecstasy. Amy picks up one leg and swings it around Meta. She put her hands on his shoulder, pushing him back into the couch, she straddles his lap, pushing her tongue into his mouth. Their tongue dance and swirl with one another. Meta wraps his arms around Amy, and pulls her against him. She gasps and then press her body against his.

She pulls away, gasping for air, her eyes narrow and she pushes Meta down on the couch, she bites her lower lips, as she rips his shirt open, she bends down and start kissing, and sucking on his neck. Meta reach up and pull her T-shirt off, and then he fumblingly pulls her bra off, Amy smiles and winks at him.

Gormanz was watching the code stream, when he started smiling and chuckling. He called Sieges down to Communication Central and she quickly arrived. Gormanz looks back at her and smiles, “I think our boy Meta just got lucky.” Sieges laughs, but then she locks into the code stream, “Wait..isn't she..”
“Yea yea, but let the guy have his fun, God knows redpill women have combination to their bedroom.” Sieges laughs again and gives a playful smack Gormanz on the backside of his head and walks back out.

The night was filled with passion, romance, and ecstasy for both Amy and Meta. Meta woke up, feeling refreshed, and full of energy, he was still in the same private room, but Amy was no where to be found. However, beside him was an envelope with a black kiss sealing it. He opens the envelope and reads it.

Sean,

Last night was amazing, it's been a long time since I've connected to someone like I've connected to you. I'm sorry I wasn't here when you wake up, I have to open my store, 'The Fools Mansion”. I'd like for you to drop by sometimes, I really would like to get to know you some more.

Love,
Amy.

With MxO now having an offical closure date, I think we should all take the time to say what we want to say to the Devs and players.

Rarebit: Thank you for 4 years of service, and thanks for being our Dev. Even though being's MxO Dev may have been a Thankless job, I'd like to think at the end of the day, we appericate all you put in.

RedAlibi: Thanks for taking me into the Cypherite organization under Exigence.

Ebola: You are the meanest *itch I have ever met! Good luck and take care! I guess your meanest *itch is what made you an awesome Cypherite

Odj: You made awesome photoshop stuff. SMILEY

Familia Grigori: Even though we are going to join a new MMO together, I did enjoy the RP y'all provided and the family-like atmosphere.

To Everyone Else: Thanks for playing MxO, Deving MxO, or whatever you did with MxO. It was awesome hanging with y'all.

I honestly don't think we'll be able to create a community quite like ours in any other MMO, which is a shame because we may bicker among ourselves, but at the end of the day we are a family, MxO Family, and when push comes to shove, we stick together.

So CD # 3 is apparently busted, and I'd like to play MxO for the last two months that it's online. I'm wondering if anyone has downloaded the game, and if they have, if I could have the Exe file that y'all use to install the game I already paid full price for the game, I'm not paying it again just because CD #3 gets stuck on GraveD17.wav

Can anyone help?

Yes I am NCPilot. If there's one thing I know about business is that Negative Word of Mouth always hurt business. If we start a bunch of small kindle of "Negative word" then it should grow like wild fire soon enough.

SoE, if you don't like what I've posted on MMORPG.com, the you only have yourself to blame. You can retify this situation at any time, by paying some darn attention to MxO, but you won't. So, have fun trying to put the flames out.

So Sieges and I were talking about this last night, if they decided to make an MxO TV show, and decided to put your character in the cast, who would play your character?

For MetaLogic, I think it would have to be none other than Hugh Laurie. The only problem I see is the age difference, Mr. Laurie is in his 30s or 40s, and Meta is in his mid 20s. Now as for why I pick Mr. Laurie. Well mainly because Meta and Dr. House personality are pretty much similar to one another.

So, which actor would play your MxO Character and why?

Coming Soon...

Ok, I have been back to MxO for about a week now, and I've kept track of MxO through friends I've made on here, and by checking into DN1 from time to time. Honestly, you guys need to stop your b****ing! So we won't get anymore offical story content, so we won't get anymore missions, etc, whatever. Honestly, even though Chadwick and Rarebit did do the best that they could with what they had, I really didn't care for their story telling style, and I know a few others don't either. Rarebit is now gone, and we now have a choice. We can either contiune to whine on DN1, or we can either put up or shut up.

I don't know about you guys, but I am truging on. I am still writing Meta's ongoing RP story, and I've taken part in other people's RP, and I actually have a few RP events planned myself. One that should be coming up very soon that I am really excited about. So we don't have an offical storyline anymore, honestly that just frees us to be more creative, to finally let us explore where we couldn't explore before because we were restricted by the offical storyline.

So, you can either take advantage of this opporunity, or you can sit here on DN1 and whine and moan. Which one is it going to be?

I think Rawlins Corner has a torture room in it, somewhere. I know that during one of the Live Event with the Merv Org they went to it. Does one of the dungeon have a torture chamber?

So apparently everyone I know is having a snow day, even those who should be used to it! *glances at a few people* You know who you are. Anyways last night North Carolina got hit with a pretty big snow storm, which shuts down pretty much everything. Which means I had to close down my business for the day....stupid snow. >.< However, I did get some office work done at home, so today wasn't a total loss for me.

So, anyone else got Snow Day today?

Ok, so this was attempted awhile back, I remember because Dez attempted it after I held a memorial for the victims of the VT shootings. Anyways, I'm just making this thread to see if there's any interest for a Town hall discussion on various of issues with the Matrix community. We'd get together once a week, and discuss something completely different every week. The topic would be choosen by the community beforehand.

Also, yes, this is an OCC event.

So, anyone interested?

ROFL! I am actually laughing so hard....Wow.....

I'm looking to buy 2 Cramer-Seavy Heavy Shotgun.

Price will be discussed between Seller and me.

Why is SoE holding onto MxO, and yet not doing anything for it? I know that they took us as a deal for some MMORPG for a DC or Marvel based MMORPG, but comon. The Matrix Online deserves better than to be ignored, to not have a lead Dev, to not have updates, etc. There are other MMORPGs that have lower numbers than we do, and they're treated better than we are.

Maybe it's time we start looking for a gaming company that'd be willing to talk to SoE about turning MxO over to them. That if we can get past all the licensing issuses and copyrights etc.

Outpost Segur Combat Construct

The sound of SMG rings through the air, bodies of Machinist and Agents fell to the ground. The SMGs is tucked away, a sword is pulled out. Hasten foot steps pounds the ground, yelling, screaming and the blade cuts through the body of more Machinist. The sword is brought down, the figure, heavily breathing. A voice comes over the ear piece, "You can't keep doing this....what good is it going to do you if you spend all your time in here, killing Simuclaras?" The figure lets out a hiss, "It lets out fustration, that what it does, it lets out anger, it releases the gate of Hell, and by the way, this is a private party." The figure turns off the ear piece, and looks up. He reloads his guns one by one, wipes the blood off the sword and puts it back in it's sheath. He looks up to the sky, "Restart!"

However, before the simulation could restart, the world goes black, and he comes to Outpost Segur. Sieges was standing to one side of Meta, Noxton on the other side. "Meta....you can't keep doing this, day after day....killing fake machinist and fake agents isn't going to erase what happened," Sieges told him as she rest a hand on his shoulder. Meta pushes the hand off of her, he gets up from the chair and storms out of the communication central building. He walks down a path, which was empty, "Thank Woden," Meta though, "No one there to 'reach out' to me." Meta turns down another path and soon reaches his house.

Meta walks down the path to his house. he punches in his passcode into the keypad and walks in. The house was a decent size, it has a living room, dining room, full bath, kitchen, one master bedroom, an "office room", and a walk in decent size walk in closet. Meta lays down on the couch and closes his eyes. It has been weeks since the death of his long time friend and love interest was killed by his hands. Well it wasn't really him, the machine program that resided in him has taken over, and gained access to a construct Meta and Monica shared. He doesn't have complete memory of what happened, but he was sure he didn't want to know.

Naamaah knocks on Meta's door, "Meta...." Meta groans, "God, can't people leave me alone?" Naamaah smiles, "No, we care about you too much."

"Yea, well, I just need to be alone right now. I don't want to talk to anyone, because there's nothing to talk about."

"I...We just want to let you know that it wasn't your fault....."

"It is...the program is inside of me, I am it's host, thereforth I am responsible for it's action."

"Yes, but it wasn't you that did it, it was the program....it's like right now, you have Dissociative Identity Disorder, your human side can't control what your program side does. Do you think Tranque can control what his many personality do?"

She pauses, and then after no responses, walks away, Meta lays there in the dark, thinking.....

I need the Headless Fragment #1. Price will be discussed between me and buyer.

Nevermind, got it fixed.

So, in another forum, we were talking about ideas for an MMORPG, and I came up with the idea for a SAW MMORPG. You have players who can be detectives, Jigsaws, and victims.

Detectives: Your role is to basically stop the Jigsaws from not only killing people, but also stop them from collecting material, and building their traps. You will be given clues, and these clues will hopefully lead you to a Jigsaw. However, you must keep an eye out to make sure you don't become a victim yourself.

JigsawsYour job is to basically build elaborate traps to test people's will to live. However, you must design your traps, gather the material, and build it. You must do it right too, or else your trap can fall apart and your victims go free. However, your traps must be a test, if you build an unwinnable trap, then you get marked as "victim" and the other Jigsaws have the options to put you in their own test. Your actions will leave clues for the Detectives, so be careful!

VictimsYou wake up in a dark room, after a few moments of conscious, you realize that you are in a Jigsaw trap. You have a certain amount of time to figure out the puzzle and escape. If you escape, you can either become a detective or a Jigsaw. However, if you die, then you return to status of Victim.

The MMORPG will take place in a city environment like MegaCity. The Detectives will have police stations set up around the area, the victims will be citizens of the city, and Jigsaws will be living in abandoned buildings.

The only problem I see is that I want players to be able to make unique and interesting traps, but I haven't exactly figured out how to work that out without having them make traps that are too out there. I want them to make interesting traps, but they have to be realistic traps.

What do y'all think?

*tape recorder begins playing*

Hello Data Node One, I want to play a game. In a month I will bring upon my vengeance from beyond the grave. As I have stated before, my work will be carried out after I am dead. My games, my tests of the survival instinct in 21th Century humans will go on. The only question is, do you have what it takes to survive my games? The rules are simple, On October 24th, You, Them, Everyone will see what my apprentice is capable of. You will be tested, your will is going to be tested, the media will show some of my deadliest games yet. The only question is, do you have the survival instinct? Live or die, make your choice.

*tape cuts off*

SAW V website

Seriously though, is anyone else excited about SAW V coming out in a month? Or am I just sick and deprived?

So, I've been catching up a long time player on the storyline who may be coming back to the game. During this convo, I realized that no one really died in MxO. I mean even Morpheus came back as a sim. Agent Gray was disabled, but came back only a few days later. Which confuses me because he can't return to the source due to being infected with the Smith virus. The only major character that really died in MxO is Agent Skinner. Danielle Wright was "dead" but she came back. Whenever a character "dies", he/she always comes back in one form or another.

I think this has to do with the big upset that happened whe Morpheus was killed in Chapter 1.3. I understand why Rarebit and others would be reluctant to kill off a character because of the upset that did happen with Morpheus. But at the saame time, this whole "revolving door" with character's mortality just seems alittle too DC/Marvel Universe to me.

Can't we have a character die and actually stay dead?

One of my character is a female program, who is a tomboy. and for her to wear the women clothing in MxO is out of character for her. She'd either wear unisex clothing or men clothings. Is it possible to introduce Unisex clothings or at least allow the females to wear men clothings?

Yes, I can already see the slipperly slope of letting women wear men clothing, but hey if a guy wants to wear women clothing, why not let them?

Apparently whoever writes her script, didn't catch the fact that it was an Internet Meme.

Hehe, 9,000 pensis.

Ok, so in order to get brand new content (that isn't recycled), we need an animator and an artist. At least, that's my understanding. Great, except the fact that SoE won't spare the money that it cost to hire one. So, I thought up of a way for us to get those two people, and SoE won't have to spend a dime.

Offer an Animator and Artist intership!

Interns are basically slaves! *chuckles*

So, I reinstalled MxO, and it loads up the loading area just fine. However, when I click on "Jack into the Matrix" It loads up just fine. But just when I'm about to enter into the game, it exits out. Has anyone else had this problem?

I think I left MxO about three months ago, around the time Sati's playground was released. Anything new, exciting, etc. Should I bother to come back?

So, I recently brought the SAW Boxset + SAW 4. Now I have watched all 4 SAW films before, so this is me re-watching them. Anyways, we all know that Amanda was John's apprentice about 5 months before Adam and Dr. Gordon was in the bathroom Jigsaw puzzle, after surviving her own puzzle. Remember, Amanda was the one that had the reverse bear trap. Anyways, in SAW II, we see Amanda again, and this time she's trapped with other people in yet another Jigsaw puzzle. I have to wonder, is she part of the house puzzle in II, or was the puzzle for her too, because she did say that even though she passed the Reverse Bear Trap, she was being bad (Self harm) so I dunno.

Personally I think it's both. Because if you remember, you never actually see her cough up blood like the other subjects, and Jigsaw did have to keep Detective's Matthews son safe so that when he played Detective's Matthew game, his son would be in a safe and secured place. However, I could see how it could be a puzzle for Amanda because she was self harming, and wasn't appreciating the life that she was given.

What do you guys think, Was Amanda a part of the house puzzle in II or was the puzzle for her?

So what kind of car do you guys think The Merovingian would drive, or at least ride in? I'm sure one of his exiled guards/escort would do the actual driving.

I think he'd choose a car like a Lincoln Continental, with suicide doors.

Something like this.

So last night I was out driving, and it was at 2:45am in the morning. Now this is the time of day where you have to be careful about deers, especially when you're driving through wooded areas. Anyways, I was driving down the road, and I was driving through a wooded area, and BAM, my car got broadsided by a deer.

I pulled into a church parking lot, and looked at the damage. I looked for blood and guts. Also, me being the paranoid person that I can be sometimes, I drove back and forth in the area a few times, to make sure I didn't hit a person. The reason is that well...heh...I really shouldn't been driving, I was recovering from a Summer flu. Luckily I didn't see anybody so I concluded that it was a deer. Pictures below!

and of course, I had to take a pic of my Libertarian Party sticker. SMILEY

So, since we're on the subject of stupid animals and cars, what is the worse damage an animal did to your car? Did you hit a deer, or maybe it was a porcupine? Tell us about your encounters of the wildlife when you were driving along on the road.

Did anyone else recieve a txt from this number? *edited*.

The txt says "Research sp-41".

Anyone?

So, what are y'alls opinion on dreams? Do they hold any significant meaning, do they predict future events, or is it just the unconscious mind projecting it's thought? I've been pondering some dreams that I've been having lately. They all shared a common theme and I've dreamed about this theme about five nights in a row now. The last time I had several dreams in a row that has a common theme to it, later on that theme carried out in real life. So, I'm just wondering if maybe I'm having these dreams five nights in a row for a reason, or am I just projecting what I want to happen in my dreams in hope that they do happen in real life.

So, MxO Players, what do you think of dreams, do they predict future events, do they hold any meanings, or are they just nothing more than movies we watch while we're asleep. Also, have you ever had several dreams in a row that has a common theme?

So, I'm doing a RP story (in Recursion NR) about Meta's interaction with exiles and the Blackwood Construct. Can anyone tell me what the Blackwood construct is like, and whether or not exiles can mimic the process of life. You know, growing up from a child, to a teenager, and into an adult. Or do they just come into the Matrix as adult or whatever age they were when they were machine programs? Thanks for all the help. SMILEY

It has been awhile since the Smith Virus has infected the simulation. Meta’s friend Jess was still inside the mental institution. She has been written off as Schizophrenic, but Meta knew that the Smith virus has infected her mind. Meta has spent the last few days within the bluepill’s Archives, trying to find anything that may help his friend. However, he has not been able to find anything of substance. However, his luck is about to change.

    Meta looks up at the sky, it's cloudy again, with a green tint. He looks around, seeing nothing but Warehouses. He pulls the sleeve back on his coat and looks at the watch. It's 1200 hours MegaCity time. ‘The informant is late’, groans Meta. He lets out a soft sigh under his mask and looks down to the ground. The ground was asphalt, littered with a few trash of papers, and cigarette butts. Just then, a black car screeches around a corner. The tires, spinning, as the driver almost loses control as the car fish tails after taking the turn. The car flies past him, and something flies out of it. Meta couldn’t see who it was, all the windows were tinted, but a box lands at his feet. He looks down at the box, it's a red cardboard box, with a black string around it. He kneels down to pick it up. He inspects it closer, looking at it carefully. He pulls on the string and it comes off. He slowly opens up the box and inside was a piece of rolled up paper. Meta pulls the paper out and discards the box back to the ground, and read what was on the paper.

In order to cleanse the mind, one must look for unlikely sources, knowledge is a powerful thing, which is why Slave Masters of old kept it from their slaves. Seek the knowledge, but be warned, the Master is powerful and has many tentacles that can reach you in here, and in the real.

    Meta tucks the note into his coat pocket and taps his Bluetooth. “Joan, we got our first real clue, apparently the Merovingian has the answer to cleanse Jess’s mind, but the note says it’s not going to be easy. I’m going to run a check on all the exiles under his employment, and those that may be in Blackwood.”
“What do you want me to do?”
“I’m going to upload the note through a Satellite Dish, I want you to analyze the code structure and see if you can find out who our informant is.”
“Yes sir.”

    Meta hangs up his Bluetooth, and walks towards the nearest Hardline. ‘These Hardlines never seem to get dirty’, he thought. He picks up the phone and dials in Sai Kung C Hardline. Within seconds he appears out of a smoke of green codes and is at Sai Kung. He looks up at the apartment building across from him. He looks left and right for bluepills, when none are to be seen, he hyper jumps to the apartment building. He lands right next to the dish, the ground shake as he lands, He sits down at the laptop next to the dish and typed in his hovercraft signal. After he has it locked, he uploads the note. The hunt for the cure, was on.
