((This was a pretty cool mission. I've liked how the Operator has kind of taken charge and changed the course of the operations in this last set - it kind of gives a more humanistic view of the Machinists, and it gives them a little more p...

Intruder Anome Beirn Assassin ...and Oracle. Because nobody would shoot the Oracle. Yup I think that's a winning team.

This report is disappointing on all sides, to be honest...

'98 can be explained by that whole thing... From what I understood it was a matter of convincing everyone that the previous year was 1998, and the year before 1997 and so on and so forth, so that could sort of be played off. 2003, well, th...

If the Mechs don't have enough people I guess we could have a Zion v. Merv battle. ...Again .

So... Are there any other Machinists interested in this? I know last battle Sontag was joined by Remag and was supposed to be joined by NightTrace. It's good fun, folks, I promise.

I'm in too.

Reckon this relates to the Accelerated Man's reply to Darminian about having "questions."

Dear Jesus, this one may even be better... This is a high emotional song filled with anger
