[10.1.2] Mach mission feedback thread: "Jurisdiction"

Not his colony, just its rulers. They probably fulfill exactly the same function as Zion's Council, but Rare/Chadders called them Oligarchs to avoid any confusion. Info about oligarchies, the most oddly named form of government I've ever h...

The Oligarchs, eh? So the intruders are definitely from some sort of community, and probably quite a large one to warrant its own government. Good to see a further reminder that the Machines don't trust the Cypherites any further than they...

I thought I've heard at least two of the Niobe tracks in the Commando Hallways, not just one. I could be wrong, though, and I'm not at home to check.
