You'll have to make choices - Recursion - 5/1/06

#35000002368 05/03/2006 17:21:05 You'll have to make choices - Recursion - 5/1/06

It's funny how sometimes if you just sit down and talk to someone, things will clear right up.

Take these E Pluribus Neo folks, for example. Big, tough "terrorists," right? Well, I don't know. I try not to categorize people, at least not before I've had a chat with them. Sit 'em down, ask 'em just what it is they're after, and you start to realize that maybe things aren't as gosh-darned complicated as they looked when everyone was running around with guns blazing.

The thing is, people don't usually take the time to stop and try to figure out what it is they're really after, and they don't realize that most people are pretty much after the same things, when you drill right down to it. Put those two types of misunderstanding together, give one group something the other doesn't have, and boy, you've got trouble. Happens every time.

So I had a chat with them. We talked about some pretty surprising things, too. Will it make a difference? That depends on what they decide to do. Maybe followers of Neo are just gonna repeat his mistakes no matter what. Could do worse, I suppose. Good intentions won't always pull you through by themselves...but they're not a bad start.

Bah. I've made a choice not to trust terrorists.

And who do you think led him to those mistakes? Oracle, I have problems figuring you out. How do you know this stuff? Is it... by hacking the code.. or do you simply think out the most logical ending? Not that the Matrix is logical. But tell me... what good is talking and sitting down with a terrorist? And, I hope you take no offense to this... but... I'm suprised you haven't been blown to pieces yet.

And I have a question; What are the bluepills doing while this is all happening in the background? None find this suspicious? None find this dangerous? And if so, where would they go? The Matrix is big, but there is no place to run.

Think about it.

E Pluribus Neo is deliciously dedicated. It makes their exploitation that much easier.

Oracle: "Morpheus become obsessed with death."

Hehe. I bet you cringed a bit after hitting the enter button. :smileytongue:

#35000002376 05/03/2006 20:30:45 Re: You'll have to make choices - Recursion - 5/1/06

I cannot wait to meet the Oracle, I'd like to meet her more than any other character... Truly awsome:smileytongue:

Cant wait, Cant wait, Cant wait...

#35000002377 05/03/2006 22:39:25 Re: You'll have to make choices - Recursion - 5/1/06

I hate the way Roukan is in the Oracle's buddy list

It makes me all jealous and stuff ...

Lousy Cookie eaters. You see what I mean. They chase those cookies that their mommy gives them. Shame grown men in dresses. Ha.

/ooc

But as the great Danny Witwer once said:

The oracle isn't where the power is anyway. The power's always been with the priests.

The funniest thing is despite the fact that they're sitting there in their dresses, they haven't figured out the spiritual war yet.

And, speaking of spiritual.

Smith wasn't a part of the anomaly, he was an anamoly going in the other direction. But, because most people tend to head in that direction (rarely going as far as he/they did), it is not called an anomaly.

EPN, you're going to be in a weird position. You know, when the CYPHites do something it's considered separate from the machines. The CYPH sort of borrowed their issues from the machines system and that's why they're machines.

EPN is different altogether. They didn't borrow from Zion they broke off from Zion because they didn't like what the leadership was doing. Your story should eventually make sense to all the other orgs (Neo did save mostly everyone and pressure from the general should cause problems for Merv). This means not only will other groups come to you, but they may have they're own versions of EPN. Then, things will get interesting.

I'm sure they can pump out flash movies pretty quickly

Only cookie eaters believe in imagination. Your fortune-teller won't even remember you or her prescribed fortune when we are done with her.

Man, i Got some decent pictures of me there. Was an honor to meet you a second time Oracle, it had been a long time.

You people wont be persuaded that EPN has changed, will you?

By the way guys? did you Notice that since there was no Zionists there, there was no spam? We Put you all to shame.

For Neo,
Raz

Allow your pools of vision to soak the sights to behold. All these lost revolutionaries, hands reaching toward the star we all wish to grasp, yet destroying those other hands, feet carrying them down different paths. Why do our hands rise to the throats of others who desire rest from the berates of wars hand?

Many idealists whose hands were dipped in similar services, now each chime to a different tune, inspiring this, their thirst. When our mouth runs dry, consider the deserts created by the masses. What are the barrens of our bodies and minds compared with the masses'?

Let us not become the servile tools of hands which wish to take apart all reality for flesh or steel.

There are no more excuses for the Earth, farce or solid, to turn a darker shade of red.

Did I say EPN wanted to? It could well be someone else.

I just had to tip my hat to all those present at this meeting after seeing the screenshots. Everyone was calm, sat down and didn't spam the Oracle with stupid questions and/or insults etc. This is how ALL meetings should go! Nice job to all involved!:smileywink:
