*Your introduction assignment inside the Matrix.*


Tyndall: Welcome to the Matrix, Liosazer! I am Tyndall and I will be your mission contact from Zion. I've been looking forward to working with you.

Your first objective is displayed on your HUD. The number on the waypoint tells you your current distance from the mission location. Go there now and talk to Agenor.

Operator: Inside this building you'll find one of the many Zion bases within the Matrix. Zion uses these bases to stock supplies, create tools and even locate potential redpills.

Find Agenor. After speaking with Agenor and Brel, Anchises will want to see you in combat.

Agenor: Tyndall says you need a little advice now that you've been freed.

Most important: Stay alive. Just because we have a truce with the Machines doesn't mean the Matrix is wide open. You'll have to earn your rights in the Matrix.

Operator: What Agenor says is true. New redpills have limited access rights. If you cross into an unauthorized sector and see an Agent, run! Until you get access rights, you are still in danger.

Agenor: If you enter an illegal sector, you'll get a warning before the Agents start tracking you.

Brel: Once you've completed your objectivies for a mission, don't stay in the mission area. If you loiter at the mission area for too long it's possible that Agents will track you and chase you down!

Operator: Once all of your objectives are complete, you and your team must exit the mission area. We don't want hostile Agents tracking you.

Brel: If Agents find you, they won't want to ask questions...

Watchman: I am a simulacra. Only Anchises may issue me commands.

Anchises: Some Exiles in the Matrix have formed gangs. They roam the streets and alleyways of the city. That doesn't mean you can't fight them, just be careful.

Hey, speaking of fighting... I want to see you in combat! Fight this simulacra of mine. Show me what you've learned!

Operator: Why don't we play along with Anchises? I've already added your new objective: Kill the simulacra!

Watchman: Command accepted! Simulacra is ready for combat.

Operator: Damn! I see your combat training has paid off.

Operator: You just completed your first mission. I know it was easy, but things won't always be so simple. Trust me.

Exit the building and we can wrap up your first assignment.

Anchises: Nice work, recruit! There's one more thing I wanted to tell you before you go:

The Exiles are more aggressive with the new truce. The gangs have staked out territory in the Matrix, and might attack if you come close. Your targeting HUD colors their names based on their threat level. I won't go into all the details, but if you see purple -- run!

Agenor: Godspeed, Liosazer.

Brel: Watch yourself out there. The Matrix is more dangerous to you now that you aren't a part of it.

Tyndall: I already see that it'll be a pleasure working with you, Liosazer.

Contact me when you are ready for your next assignment, Warrior.
