Alright, Troopers! Glad to see that we've got another legitimate mind freed... I'd have to agree with Ghost about the bluff, otherwise the System wouldn't dedicate so many Agents to stopping him. Good work - now we all just need to continu...

We were there, and we know what happened. If "Navin Manohar" hasn't already been terminated, he will be shortly. If he was extracted, whoever did it ought to be shot after all of the communication we put out about this attrocity, or, at le...

The leader of the Kings of Never is Ryumanjisen, not Miggesch. And it's a pretty full-on RP faction. 'Least it was when I left it.

Most curious. Most curious, indeed. Of course, I would not find it at all surprising if Morpheus had been lied to on certain matters, or if his simulacra were not perfectly designed with all of the facts. More curious, however, would be wh...

Meh. Should've just pulled her plug. That would've taken care of things easily enough for such a situation. But, hey, I'm not about to complain... Another little spy to interrogate is a bonus, as far as I'm concerned. Good job, to everyone...

I believe, from reading these logs, that I saw a small flicker of the old Pace there, just for an instant, while they were in Zeitgeist. Hmm. Anyhow, if I were a Machinist, I would be most concerned about this little statement: But maybe t...

Meh, scanner always makes these come out a little awkward... And I still suck at drawing feet. Top guy's hand looks so weird when scaled down... looks nice on the paper in front of me, though.

If you folks need a hand, you've got my number.

I'm not sure if this refers to a firewall in the system, or if they're putting up a gate ala Zion the first in New Zion.

This never undermined the Truce. You want to know what undermined the Truce? Paid sabotage, murder, and spying, all with the intent to both destroy Zion and its inhabitants, and prevent awakenings.
