Hmmm... that certainly is an interesting theory, it certainly puts a new skew on the whole Machines winning the war and keeping Humans in chains. The ramifications of this idea being even slightly correct could be enormous for all concerne...

Excellent work to the Machinists on Vector. The Cyphs also lived up to their reputation. Someone'll have to put that lapdog Beirn down permanently soon...

Don't see anything wrong with a fella playing as a female RSI... or women playing as Male RSI for that matter, it's only a game! (Although cybering would be odd! ) Like the others said, great read!

pfft... don't require drugs to enjoy myself or to have status.

So you think that with the Machines gone there would be no more fighting all thinking of Humankind as one? All the factions are too far gone to just up and be friends. You think things are bad now, what about when each faction starts teari...

The road to peace is a long one and the truce was a vehicle. The Machines did not trust Humanity and rightly so considering what it tried to do to them in the beginning so yeah the terms of the truce which were stacked in the Machines favo...

You cannot deny Human nature and that nature is conflict and domination. How many weapons has it made for the purposes of killing itself? What has stopped it? A handful of Humans who have argued for peace and, in the latter half of history...

In your inventory you can 'prefer' weapons depending on type. I thought that this meant that they were used, according to what ability each required, over anything else in the inventory. Now I have a 'preferred' pistol, duel pistols, rifle...

Makes a lot more sense now after reviewing the last Merv event. The topographical data apparently reveals the location of Halborns colony. So it seems that the Machines are protecting it or have an agreement with someone that they will not...
