Change is illusion. We pass through life exchanging one illusion for another. This tendency of mankind does not change. It is not an illusion.

Thank you, my friends. Although their success was only sporadic, it was, at least, some positive result. With your help, I will continue to work on developing this defense against the override codes that threaten the very core of this plac...

There are so few who understand, or try to understand, the importance of this...

New forces are at work in this world; a world which, I fear, is not prepared for them.

Morganthal, Bagwell, and Young... The code showed no evidence that they told anything less than the truth, as far as they knew it. But if Ouroboros' own executives have no more idea than the rest of how their corporation can have crumbled...

A surprising program--and a dangerous one. Those who have little regard for the dreamers have already wrought great destruction to find it. The longer it remains here, the more I fear the arrival of a true catastrophe.

Thank you, my friends, for protecting this valuable research. It must be allowed to reach its conclusion; the alternative is life lived ever under the spectre of dissolution by those corrupt men who would be gods.

Whether it is the intruders or no, the power of the Ouroboros serpent attracts others of its own ilk.

I have heard it said that one of the intruders told the Frenchman he knew the man of whom the Frenchman's face is a copy; I wonder, did this unnamed individual also share such dangerous ambition?

Those who found him first tell me that he deliberated long ere he began to speak--to speak of peace, while admitting to practicing disruption. His selection of targets--first the Machines, now Pluribus Neo--seems almost indiscriminate. He...

A world of information, and each side hoards what it has most carefully. We leave ourselves but partial truths.

The more I study them, the greater becomes my conviction that the overrides are as mist to a raging torrent: mild side effects of a primal force within the simulation itself.

To ensure the warp and weft of this world's fabric, we accept conditions sometimes injurious to ourselves. This bargain we agreed to long ago. Lie though it was, we will make it true.

We cannot claim to have the wisdom of the Oracle. We have only knowledge of the past to guide us into the future. Let the events of this day, then, help to inform our decisions, and lead us all to the destiny that the Oracle has foreseen.

This facile man wishes to befriend us. Will he truly limit himself to what he says he is here to do?

Our universe turns on itself within spheres of influence--spheres of control. Some of these we know; some, no doubt, we never see at all. A chance reflection as worlds align may be all that reveals the existence of others. I believe we are...

Some have said they saw this coming. Some have said they know the cause. But it is the reason that eludes us.

He continues to reveal new abilities to override the vital codes of this world. I fear greatly for everyone here if we do not succeed in understanding and defeating his purpose.

His presence is a violation, a constant tear in the delicate fabric of this world's flesh. We clutch at the breach, trying to hold it, to keep it from widening, but this rip, this wound, cannot long go unsutured ere it festers and spreads.

Is it the seduction of power, or something else that drives this intruder? He roams the barrens, turning dream into nightmare. If he is not stopped, how many will awaken, screaming in the darkness?

We have our own reasons for that which we do, but if time preserves any trace of our existence, it is the deed, not the reason, that will be remembered.

A dormant treasure--an RSI signature archive--has been unearthed from the depths of the destroyed Zion mainframe. Those who served with Zion years ago, when the archive was made, and who still sleep with old firmware, could lose control of...

Vendors of death and destruction sell their wares cheaply in this place. And the buyers are many... We protect them from dangerous truths, my friends; we must also protect them from dangerous lies.

A new program. A new pill. And so they continue the cycle. The wicked live on, while innocents are lost. All are blind, seeing only part of the truth... That truth is partial.

The Frenchman asks many questions. Individual truths tear at the incongruities of a collective vision, but some will ever be drawn to forbidden knowledge, no matter the cost.

Itarrot. The name belongs to a man, or the man to the name. They tell me I knew him well, worked with him, shared a ship with him, even laughed with him. They seem very pleased to have him back among us. Even Veil, who, I have some evidenc...

Warned to cease ripping innocents from their slumber, Zion has redoubled their efforts, endangering more lives than ever before. So many are vulnerable. So many will die if this madness is not stopped. They perish, blind and helpless in th...

Most can't see them, my friends--the numbers behind the names. It it well that it is so. It lies with us to keep this data--this painful truth--from the delicate eyes of the sleepers, lest their shock of revealed vision render this world a...

One to zero: the deadly binary. So easy to kill a man. So terribly easy.

As once did I...

Ahaha... And to think, you could even make a case for Smith himself having invented it. "I have dreamed a dream, and now that dream has gone from me." Hahaha! You've caught up with me, Morpheus, or I've caught up with you. And where do I g...

When one of the most powerful forces for peace in the Matrix begins attacking citizens on the street, apparently without provocation, we must all be concerned for our world's safety. If Seraph has truly lost his reason, can any of us stop...

We must bear the Oracle's words in our hearts and minds. She speaks of a great test coming--of a responsibility that we will have for the future of this world, and the other. Let us be found worthy, my friends. Let the Dream become Reality.

My friends, the General's forces can disturb every corner of our world. They seek to throw our peaceful slumber into turmoil. We must search out every nook and cranny, and root them out wherever they appear. And Sati, who gives us such bli...

My friends, our duty is clear. The lie of the Nabonidus must be rooted out. The great Morpheus must be allowed the slumber for which he paid so dear.

My dear friends, You will be pleased to know that, out of the chaos spreading across these streets, your fellows have saved four hapless bystanders from a most cruel awakening. We must keep ever in mind that it is our solemn duty to watch...

Friends, We were very fortunate to have the famed Seraph visit Viraconrida and friends at a dojo in the International District. He endeavored to answer questions they had concerning Anome, and was then kind enough to spar with some of the...

Friends, A careful analysis of intercepted probe data led operatives to conclude that Unlimit was engaging in unusual activity in Westview. Coordinated by Diversus, we combed the district, eliminating Unlimit soldiers when they were foolis...

Anome's forces are surprisingly organized, given their leadership, but organization without inspiration is easy prey to those seeking information, my friends. They are certainly up to something, and the means by which they hope to accompli...

Friends, This is a grave time. Anome's forces, driven mad with undeserved and ill-gotten power, assail the city--our city. Shall we stand by while they destroy the homes, the very lives, of countless innocents? No! We must fight them. Ah!...

"From many, one"--haha! That's backwards, my friends. A multiplication of images: A proliferation of understanding. They seek but one man; They will find many! It's not so easy, you see, To stop an idea. No, I'll not be caught Until this w...

Friends, When we discovered that Anome's ambitious underling, Casque, was holding his own recruitment party at Club Kirin, we simply couldn't resist the chance to get an inside look at the man everyone's talking about. What we found was a...

Matarax has been bringing us ever closer to victory for some time now with his genius for organization, and great talents in intelligence gathering. When we finally reach our goal, it will be thanks in large part to his efforts, and the ef...

We have the blues, my friends. Let us celebrate! Blue pills, red pills, cheat codes--surely, Zion has more concoctions than it can handle these days. They should be relieved of this heavy responsibility. And relieved they shall be, if they...

Barakoa joins Viraconrida in performing liaison duties for us. I am sure that you will find him more than competent in his duties, my friends. Please extend to him your warmest welcome. -- Cryptos Archived image unavailable: barakoa.jpg Ba...

Friends, I'm sure you've heard by now of our meeting held recently at the secret club in downtown. Vairys, our new liaison, was there, as were Haelios, hero of recent battles in our cause, many of our finest Cypherite operatives, and sever...

Cypherites! Friends! I send captures from recent Cypherite activities, which I hope will inspire you in your continued efforts to fight those wishing to cheat the System. Our talented controller, Veil, in tandem with liaison officer Viraco...

[Friends, now that the incident involving the traitorous Sleepwalkers is all over and done with, I thought that some of you might find it enlightening to see these intel reports provided to me by one of our top operatives, Taranima, in the...

Friends, We owe thanks to Matarax for arranging the meeting where I was finally able to meet you face to face for the first time. Guard the concert sites that the Zion herd overlooks, and you will win a great victory for the Cypherite caus...

Cypherites, friends: The worm has shown its blind head at last. Remember what we discussed at Dissimulato's meeting. The time for action is upon us. The dream must not die. It will not, while we draw breath! We shall meet again after victo...
