Double Cross: A Tangled Web Event Update!

Strange days my friends, strange days indeed. We've uncovered some
information related to today's events that you might find interesting,
and decided to post it to Event Team: Broadcast Depth
before it was deployed to DN1 and in Flash Traffic.
There's more to come folks, so enjoy!
Code Bombings Resume
Code bombings have resumed yet again across the Mega City.
A man bearing an eerie resemblance to the recently deceased Morpheus
has been reported in connection to the current bombings. Speculation
runs rampant on the origins, identity, and motivation of this man.
More troubling yet is the fact that the Assassin has put in an
appearance at the site of every code explosion to date, with the
apparent intent of discovering the source of the bombs. As always, the
Assassin is unwilling or unable to answer questions, leaving many
puzzled by the Exile’s behavior. Organizational leaders advise caution
if you are approached by the Assassin, as the Exile has proven
extremely dangerous when provoked.
Imposter Agent Problems
Recent days have seen a renewal of attacks by the Red-Eyed
Imposter Agents that have plagued the Matrix off and on since the
Truce. While their ultimate plans remain ambiguous, their immediate
intentions are clear: They are tracking some form of “unauthorized
code” and plan to eliminate any potential carriers of said code.
Operatives are encouraged to travel in groups to help minimize the
danger posed by these Imposter Agents.
Do you have a theory? Do you think you've got it all figured out? Take a read, and post your thoughts here!
Cheers!

Really can't say enough about the good work you're doing, Aether. It's
this kind of thread that shows how dedicated the developers and the LET
are, and everybody appreciates it greatly.

Thx for the update Ęther I've heard of such Assassin attacks and his
total dominance on all would be attackers. I hope to bump into him in a
dark fly infested allway 
I
hope the Flash traffic feature is fixed I have some Faction mates with
update Flash traffic, but myself and quite a few still have Flash
traffic from early June showing up.

Methinks some of the clues lie in the notable silence of Persephone
But I won't say any more, i just like planting seeds of possibility and seeing where other people take them
I
have to admit, this is very interesting so far. It was interesting to
watch the Assassin run in after the code bombs, searching for the
source before hyperjumping away. Eventually we got him cornered, and I
got a good 5 hits on him for ton of damage (hit him with dev field for
about 1000, and 3 hits of logic barrage/blast, and a nice little spray
in the eyes with some insecticide spray )
Fun fun so far!

i enjoy fighting with the Assassin, he can play with you, then BOOM!
Deadly Aura.. 9,989 damage last time. weird to see the LED Agents
again, what part do they play in this i wonder.. also seems the
Machines are sort of working together with Zion to get rid of the
Assassin. Also i would be very excited to see that Morpheus is back
with a vengance and planting the code bombs in a show of
"
you think you could stop me?
"
awesome, jaws would drop.

Vague pictures of this Morpheus impersonater has identified him as
"Ndengi" In oceanic mythology he is the god of night, and when he slept
day became night. (This information was relayed to me by another
operative, so I am not taking any credit for the discovery)
Morpheus was as many know connected to dreams in mythology
and it has led to my beleif, among other things, that Ndengi is a
Morpheus supporter/copycat, even fanatic, carrying on his works. He may
even have more people behind this goal as we all know Morpheus had a
lot of support in Zion, and was for many much more than just a captain.
We could see a faction of fanatical and dangerous Morpheus supporters
if we are not careful. If I had to guess I would also connect him to
the news paper clipping on Sarah Edmontons.
There was also a sighting of the assassin placing a bomb on
the Method instance of the Matrix, although this could be confusion on
the part of onlookers. Perhaps he was as always, simply looking into
the source of the bombings. This could put him at odds with Ndengi.
Then again the assassin is looking to end the matrix and used
irresponsibly, the code bombs could indeed destabilise the whole
system.
The Red Agents seem to be seeking the kill code retreived from
Neurophyte, which we know to be deadly to them when weilded correctly.
Perhaps this is the reason, either way the red agents seem to be only a
tool of a greater power. Hopefully we will find out more about their
goals in due time.
I will continue peicing together the parts of the puzzle as we learn more an will be very interested in the events awaiting us.

Since my comp has crashed and I cant enjoy this event I can only hope
that the LED agents aren't part of the Mervs plans. It could be
possible that the assassin is using the LED agents to "Recycle"
subroutines that should have been turned over to him after one of the
events, ie the PDAs.

Not to complain too much, and I know you guys work hard on all this
stuff, don't think I don't apreciate it...but some of the promises the
Live Events Team made at launch have yet to be fulfilled. First is the
problem with the events being incredibly ambiguous while in-game. After
each event, and during, I check DN1, and what I read there makes no
sense compared to what was going on in game. I didn't see or hear of
any of this stuff happening in the last couple weeks. Except for the
"Potential carrier" stuff. But you know what? None of it makes any
sense in game. Sure, "Target sighted, eta 30seconds" is great! Because
then I know exactly what to do to participate in the event. (/end
sarcasm) Information is the currency of the Matrix, so give us some.
Second is the promise to hold events at ALL TIMES OF THE DAY OR NIGHT,
so that players who live in different timezones, or work strange
schedules can participate. You have no idea how many times I've come on
line, right after work, and been told that I missed a meeting with
Morpheus, or that the Assasain was "just here" or that some chick is
going to die if I don't send an e-mail. You guys made a lot of promises
at launch, and all through BETA, lets see you keep some of them,
please. I hate being frustrated with the live events, because I really
do love this game. (oh yeah, and is the World Events "thing" in-game
ever going to work properly, or be updated?)

hello Aether,
I'm posting this to help aid anyone who is lost and doesn't
have as much time to ponder this stuff as I do and to also let you know
the directions that I'm going with some of these event happenings...
Also, maybe this will spark some ideas and someone will be kind enough to help me out with what they've found
.
Anyways, there is nothing too sensitive in this post, I feel, and
don't mind helping some people in the community get a start if they're
lost and not knowing where to start.
Assassin:
I think he is rattled by the appearance of the morpheus
look-a-likes and is trying to catch one to find its source. On who
hired the assassin...I cannot say any more.
I've found that there is more than one Morpheus look-a-like. All
of their names have similar meanings to that of Morpheus...which is
quite clever I might add. So apparently, there is a network of Morpheus
clones out there interested in carrying on his work for unknown yet
reasons. The motive behind their actions could either be:
-led by Morpheus whether he gave the order before the assassin's attempt or from an undisclosed location in the Real
-led by either the leader of the Masked Men, whomever that is...,
and they are trying to shake things up with whomever wanted Morpheus
dead...making them think he's alive still.
-led by Niobe in order to flush out whomever ordered the hit on Morpheus
as far as the helicopters crashing go...either:
-there was no helicopter crash and it was a bluepill witnesses way
of explaining a code bomb due to the explosion...thus no helicopter
remains
-someone was piloting a helicopter under the influence and ran into someone else...:P
Masked Men:
-there is alot of small connections that I found linking them to
various people/places/companies...no more on that, too sensitive. But
have the LET feel free to contact me about this info as I feel it is
correct and on point with their motives.
Imposter Agents:
I think they are looking for the Neo code that is inside of someone
that doesn't know they have it(morpheus's speech). The leader of the
red-eyed agents was able to create N3O Agents and is probably looking
for the most important part of the code in order to finish what they
started with the shapers...
Thats all I can say without giving any important
information away..hope this helps anyone. BTW, all I wrote is purely
speculation and should be taken as rumors.

Hm, I may step on some feet here, but has anyone from the output
community experienced some of those event-ish things in an agreeable
time-frame on our server yet? A simple yes would suffice. :\

Today's questioning of the Assassin after the appearance and witnessing
of one of the code bombers revealed that he is indeed targeting them,
and not helping with the bombings.

Hey, wait. You know what I realized right now? Remember how Neurophyte
killed the red-eyed LED agents with her 'killcode'? It seemed as if the
connections of the LED agents to the Matrix has been severed or
disconnected...
Disconnecting machines. Neo could do that too. Remember the
Sentinels? He disconnected them too. What if Neurophyte kinda found
that distinct part of Neo's code in the real world? The killcode is
able to disconnect Machines from the Matrix/the Source. What if that's
what the General with his led agents is behind?
(Btw have you already thought about the possibility that the
led agents with their red eyes might have Real World counterparts like
actual machine bodies? Red-eyed sentinels anyone? What if the General
has lots of those Sentinel AI's to boot to red-eyed agent status
because he commandered them during the Siege of Zion?)

"Questioning" of the Assassin? You're saying he stopped for a press opportunity?

Again, the entire MxO Community appreciates the dedication to a good story that the LET provides! Cheers!
Code Bombings might be part of the effect of a new splinter Zionist organization.
Imposter Agents.... Well, I'm still wondering when the General
is going to show up. I think that's where these agents come from..
Love the game,
-Midori

Alright, the dude who put the bomb on the ground in my opinion needs to
change his wardrobe. You just need the jacket and you'll look just like
Morpheus. As for the Assassin, he helped out a lot of Mervs last night,
but he still wont say who he works for, he'll just shrug.
Anyhow, How the heck can sony even think about geting
rid of the LET?? Honestly, have they even played this game during and
event!?! You guys are what make this game so damn cool!!!!
