from wot i understand, the zion crits are all about blindly throwing in their lot with the general and the commandos, about whom they know very little, all for the purposes of avenging morpheus by killing the merv.
maybe i'm misremembering, or i've been taken in by the devilish lies crafted by the merv or flood as his press secretary, but my understanding of the story was that the merv did indeed bring in the assassin from the real and did hire him to deal with morpheus, but did NOT in fact, give or authorize the assassin to use the kill-code bullets, but instead intended for the assassin to use bullets that would effectively prevent morpheus from ever jacking back in, but not killing him. as far as i remember, it was the assassin who took it upon himself to make/acquire the kill-code bullets and chose to use them on morpheus... which led to the bigger question, what was the assassin's motivation behind doing this...?
enter the convenient arrival of a mysterious but powerful ally for a grieving zion to aid them in avenging themselves on the purported mastermind behind morpheus's death, the merovingian.
anyhooo, if anyone could correct me and point to sources that show otherwise or that verify my suspicions that'd be nice.
