A lot of people don't really have an answer to this - and I'm in that category. I thought I had an understanding of it - but truly I don't so I'm creating this thread to understand - or at least grasp what you people think of it.
There are 3 servers as in 3 different instances of the matrix - we know them - we live in them syntax, recursion and vector. Now within these servers we have differing events and people - differing storylines and the like. But I've come to realize that the way it stands things don't truly make sense.
It came to my attention the other night when I jacked into Syntax to check out the bread fest event in Sobra. What caught my attention was Michael's reaction to the oracle. He said it was nice to meet you - as in it was their first encounter. Now I don't want to talk about that which I don't know in the sense of hypothesized matrix happenings (ie. I find it hard to believe the kid wouldn't have sought out the oracle) but outside of that I'm curious if that means on Recursion he doesn't know her - or if he does.
If he does, then that would mean the 3 servers are of the same realm but just differing slightly. If he doesn't then that means we have some continuity errors that should be sorted out. Originally I was more confident in this post because I had sworn kid and the oracle had spoken on recursion but now I'm not so sure.
In any case I need to reference both Neurophyte, Veil (Toorima) and the Novalus II.
Now the whole event in relation to this story was in the times of the LET team and of course before SOE - from then I heard that they wanted to merely shrug off the story and pretend it never really happened. Thus the disappearance of neuro after she developed all of her super ungodly powers. Now the problem with just shrugging her off is that Veil exists as part of the story.
Whether you know it or not - veil was called Toorima on the novalus 2 and was the one to betray vashuo (another member of the ship). The thing is - if she exists then neurophyte must also still exist- and where is she?
Also this raises the question about neurphytes death. In the hunt for her event - at the end players were tasked with choosing her life or her death. Now I believe recursion and syntax's three servers were unanimous but I know there was at least one of the 9 servers at the time that chose to kill her to retrieve the kill code. (long story.)
In any case if the servers merged and the data differed - the merge would mean she was both alive and dead and outside of that - if one server has her dead and others have her alive - what is she?
Also relating to this category as evidence of the interconnectivity of the instances is the bike messenger event in relation to when the brief case vial was first discovered. The thing here is that - zion supposedly retrieved the case from him - but the event of retrieval was only executed on one server. However zion had it on all three instances - obviously some grander scale things have to be globally or sever-wise the same for moving the story forward at all - but what's the logic behind it?
How are the servers interconnected - and if they are directly connected why not just have one big *CENSORED* server - or still why not have the ability to shift characters from server to server whenever they jack in. And more curiously - if I have Darm1 on recursion, Darm2 on syntax and Darm3 on vector - am I wrong in RPing them all as myself?
Yes I know were allowed to RP how we want but I think most of you would grasp what im saying. Food for thought - so eat up.
Side note: if they aren't connected doesn't that mean that everything could and should be different and that the dead might not be dead -and the alive might not be or stay that way.
