Agent Pace, I am not sure if you monitor Data Node One frequently for developments within The Matrix, but I shall make this request here as it was suggested to me by friends within your Organization. You may have heard of me. Commodore Aus...

*sighs* A pity I was not present. My conversations with Lady Ookami can sometimes be somewhat more... fulfilling than those I have with Lady Return. To be honest, I certainly would have rathered to be at the meeting in Club Hel than in the...

A few days had passed since his run-in with Veil. He was feeling better after taking a nap on the floor by his wall mirror and abolutions set-up. It was meant to work like a sink did in The Matrix. It came reasonably close to performing th...

Hmm... this one should be obvious. Notice that the Sleepwalkers began running around about the same time I earned my Virulent status. So... my theory is that when Austrian is asleep, he sleep walks, jacks in, and starts spreading the "Aust...

Yeah. WoW is pretty over-rated. Do they even have an LET there?

A cool breeze was coming in from the water just before Kobayashi Boardwalk in Ikebukuro. It was a little relaxing in a way. The soothing sound of the water lapping against the piers as simulated fresh air blew across his face and tugged at...

It had been another long day of work. He'd had no time to reflect on what he'd said to Return. No, there had been no opportunity to try to be "more Human". Instead, Flood had handed him more work. This time it had been an assignment to det...

He'd arrived briefly for a party that she was holding in Club Noir. Lady Return, it seemed, had managed to fully re-integrate herself into the mainstream of Redpill life. She'd founded some sort of faction called "Avidité Syndicat". Her Fr...

You can join the futile quests of Zion and E Pluribus Neo if you want to waste the opportunity that was given to you when you took the red pill. Or you can join Triluminary in our mission to bring peace and cooperation to both The Matrix a...

He walked into the office, nodding at the program seated opposite him, behind the desk. The program that had called him there was clothed in a semi-casual black dress shirt and pants, well-groomed and of a slightly darker complexion. He wa...

I was recently playing Path of Neo over again and found this particular character curious. The Merovingian mentions that she is his "best" and that she is even better than Neo. Of course, the second allegation proves to be false as Neo bea...

He took a glance over his shoulder. That made two Neo wannabes and one Trinity copy-cat. A Neo in front of him and to his left and a Trinity on the right. They were training simulacrum produced by The Hapsburg's AI, Sophia, to resemble E P...

Well, I was under the assumption that the reason The Machines kidnapped The Effectuator in this game and interrogated him was for the purpose of being able to find The Chateau so they could strike at the heart of The Merovingian's Organiza...

He'd been invited to some tournament. He wasn't exactly sure what it was all about again. He'd been standing around outside Camon Heights Congregational Church, taking a break after a fairly lengthy speech to a crowd of Redpills about his...

Austrian stood up from the bench and removed his beret. Everyone else on The Hapsburg was asleep. No one would know what he was up to now. There would be no witnesses, just like there had been none during his occasionaly late night rendezv...

Triluminary- Merovingian (founded by Triad, led by Triad with the assistance of GwailouSaang and Austrian)

He hadn't believed it at first. He'd accused Linkslife of being a liar. But then the calls began to pour in. There was PltChaos telling him to stay away from her bar lest he meet the ghost of his love. There was Nigh7Shad3 telling him that...

Austrian's palm deflected the punch as it collided with her slim wrist and he retaliated by bringing his elbow up and toward her face. Wixard, his First Mate, brought up her palm just in time, surprised by the quickness of his counter, and...

Ravyr, as MadHattah's mistress, was an Exile with a great deal of connections amongst the Redpill population. Austrian had only met her once or twice before this particular day and enjoyed every encounter. She reminded him of his time in s...

He'd met briefly with the members of the new Merovingian faction, Self Indulgence. They were a group of disdainful hedonists- people who might as well have been re-inserted. At least, that was what they seemed to be at first glance. Their...

Austrian sat at the bar stool where she had sat before she shot herself. He stared, his mind elsewhere, at the fountain she had probably admired before she had shot herself. He drank, almost reflexively, from the same drink she had drunk b...

An army of zombies? And I suppose they are all going to set us free, eh? Heh.

Many have asked me "Why should I be moral?" The practical utilitarians among some of you have suggested that morality and love are unprofitable and are dangerous notions that can only lead to defeat. The only true defeat comes from a bitte...

I wouldn't. It causes friction and confusion. I've roleplayed an Agent in my past Events and never left my faction. The little name under your Handle shouldn't make a big difference. Heck, IC you wouldn't see someone's faction name floatin...

The Sage Commander is the leader who comprehends that former realizations and understands the nature of the Universe as a conflict between the etiological appearances of Causality and the cloaked deeper Truths of Choice, Defiance and Moral...

Phrack, I have read your Manifesto and I am impressed. The words you have written here, coupled with what was said during a conversation with Darminian last night over my recent Chaos Theory, suggests that we might be more alike than I eve...

The information I acquired on The Nebuachnezzar did indeed come from my experiences playing Path of Neo. That source is indispensable in imparting greater detail on what exactly goes on in The Matrix and out of it. Anyone else care to tell...

After reading this, someone asked me a few evenings ago, "What is to be done then?" He wanted to know how Chaos Theory applies to combat and the execution of operations both in The Real and The Matrix. He wanted to know what my opinion was...

Awesome proposed ideas! I highly recommend that you contact some of the leaders of the Recursion Machine factions to have an OOC meeting to figure this out and decide on one of the three proposals you put forward. If you're not familiar wi...

Triluminary Training Constructs: The Hapsburg The initial stage in any new Triluminarian's training, whether they were recruited as a Redpill from another Organization or as a Bluepill Potential, is the vivid explanation of what it is that...

A curious question for all of the Captains out there with a little idle time on their hands: what Constructs do you use to train new Operatives in your crews? I think it would be intriguing to see how different crews with their differing p...

I’m sure you are all painfully aware now of the Smith Virus and what it meant- what it represented. But I will explain, if you do not. The Smith Virus was the product of The One destroying the purpose that the Agent known as Smith once had...

So what does Schopenhauer tell us we should do about Causality? What am I trying to say here? Is there a way out of Causality and its etiological horror? Yes, there is. “Where there is a Will, there is always a Way.” But, in this case, the...

Let us begin with the surface of Chaos Theory. Of course, as you all know, the surface of something exudes its appearance. And so Chaos Theory deals with appearances, as well as reality. Oddly enough, The Merovingian is an expert on the ap...

*You find the following note tucked into the cover of a book on a shelf in a store in Achan. The book is new and the ink seems quite fresh on the paper. It is not exactly a book, however. More like a pamphlet. But it is bound and covered l...

Chapter 4 He opened his eyes as he stepped through the space in the room which The Effectuator had told him was the portal to The Construct. It hadn't looked like much. In fact, the portal hadn't looked like anything at all. Just a cold po...

Chapter 22 GwailouSaang had caught up with Austrian as he passed through the parking lot outside Club Hel and the conversation that they had shared relaxed Austrian. But only a little. GwailouSaang also seemed to have no problems with Morp...

Chatper 3 Austrian whipped around to see who it was that had spoken to him, bringing his Steyr AUG up to aim at where he believed the newcomer's head would be. As he focused on who it was, he saw that the visitor was The Effectuator, who n...

Chapter 2 "Still able to throw that frag, Ocagire?" Austrian asked, over the roar of submachine gun and rifle fire pouring into the wall before him, referring to the fragmentation grenade that his First Mate still clutched in one hand. It...

Chapter 1 Austrian stood on the right side of the door, waiting. He could hear the Zionite Operatives moving about in the next room, trying to find a way to access the newest portal to one of The Effectuator's Constructs. Austrian normally...

Chapter 21 The welcoming sounds of "Reise Reise" greeted Austrian as he and the Guardians of Chaos entered the main dance hall of Club Hel. The song was a Rammstein hit and, having been programmed by The Machines to believe he was an Austr...

Chapter 20 Austrian remembered how afraid he had been that day. When the Zionite assassins had nearly killed him, he had felt no fear. He had felt only disappointment and regret that he had not made more of himself. But when he had disarme...

Taxi, you took the words out of my mouth =) I better keep it closed, lest it be filled with snow. (Looks around hesitantly)

((Apologies for the long delay in updating this. What with exams and research papers and training exercises, I've had little free time. But with Christmas approaching, I've been blessed with a little bit of an opportunity to write some mor...

Chapter 18 "You're Morpheus, aren't you?" Austrian asked, narrowing his eyes and reaching slowly for a Steyr TMP holstered on his hip and concealed beneath the folds of his sleek black trench coat and equally dark suit jacket. He was glad...

Chapter 17 Flood had called Austrian to tell him that Invalesco had been found as he walked away from the Church of the Disciples, fuming at Christianity and God for reasons his conscious mind could not understand at the moment. The Exile...

Chapter 16 Austrian would have preferred to have done this with back-up but Flood had been insistent that only he was to investigate the Church of the Disciples. His crew could have been useful today as he would no doubt need covering fire...

Chapter 15 Austrian stopped his slow but steady progress down the sidewalk at the sound of the disturbance in the alley a few feet ahead of him. He had been cautiously making his approach to the Church of the Disciples when he had heard th...

Chapter 14 Austrian hesitated at the door to La Vrai. He had never had any qualms with walking into La Vrai and dining at the restaurant during his life as Paul Lipp despite the restaurant's exclusivity and extravagance. But now he felt a...

(( I would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for its support and for artsefart's kind words and encouragement in continuing to produce the story of Austrian. To answer a commonly asked question of me, I chose to leave th...

((It would appear that the one-star bandit has, finally, struck. For those of you who have been actually reading this story and appreciate it, please show your interest by countering this person's incompetence with an amount of stars you d...

Chapter 12 Austrian surged to his feet as the woman smiled over at Zambria, who had now left his cover to stand in the open by the body of the Zion assassin Austrian had shot shortly after his entrance through the window. She would learn t...

Chapter 11 Austrian stopped and looked up at a window on the fifth floor of the apartment complex that loomed over him. This was the place. On the other side of the window which he now stared intently at, was a room where several Zion assa...

Chapter 10 Austrian entered through the front door to the Orchid Public Baths in Kaede. He had been instructed to head there and meet up with a crew loyal to The Merovingian which had been tasked with supporting him on his first ever assig...

Chapter 9 Paul still couldn't quite fully believe it. After he had rebuked GwailouSaang and his crazy story, his host had shown him into a fairly large room that looked like a cross between a medical bay on a nuclear submarine and a high s...

Theme song for the Pluribus Neo: "Neo loves me. Yes, I know. For the Matrix movies tell us so..." Sorry couldn't help myself. I am Austrian, Captain of The Hapsburg on Recursion. I named my ship 'The Hapsburg' after one of the greatest roy...

Chapter 8 The hatch squeaked open again, waking Paul from his awkward slumber sprawled on the chilled metal floor. Paul looked up to see his 'host' standing in the doorway again. "What are you doing on the floor?" the 'international man',...

Paul awoke with a start. Where in the blazes was he? The last thing he could remember was smiling back at Ookami and then... coldness devouring his entire body. It felt like... dying. Had she drugged her? She must have. He still felt woozy...

Chapter 6 (Continued) Just then, a force like the gale of a hurricane slammed into his back and sent him sprawling to the floor, jarring his brain in his skull. He saw Ookami standing over him in a low crouched stance. She had kicked him i...

Chapter 6 Paul was muttering to himself that his stress might not come from his parents but perhaps from the squalor and insanity of MegaCity. The Baroque majesty of Vienna certainly exuded an aura quite unlike the anxiety of this place. T...
