Okay, now that we know that Cryptos wasn't acting under his own volition, what will happen to those purple, casketlike eyesores all over the MegaCity? Inquiring minds want to know.
Cryptos' boxes.

I suspect they will continue to poison the minds of bluepills everywhere and with a jamaican accent I might add.
I guess they are still doing what they were intended for.
Man, it's weird to think of it that way. I did always wonder why the Machines didn't remove them from the simulation.
What/was wrong with the Union Hill box?

it opened up at the same time as the Barthy Row one I think. At the :00 of every other hour isnted of the :05 that it was supose to.
I think they tried to cover up the mess up with the Merv going in and tampering with it but who knows maybe it was always supose to be bugged and that was a our first clue that something was wrong with ol Cryptos.
I really hope they'll keep them around for at least the next patch, I'd like to watch them a couple more times.

Yeah, it's been established that Cryptos can make some powerful sims in his own image... and if it were the real deal, that would mean he'd be making those speeches every other hour, every day. That would mean he could only get one-hour naps in between. For a man who talked *that* much about sleep, I would doubt that.
But what's this about being in a Zion hospital? When did that happen? As far as I knew, he was jacked out to wherever the Cypherites/Machines keep him in the real, in a semi-catatonic state induced by seraph.

just wondering, since i never knew about them (other than them being somewhere in the game), but are there any of these boxes left? or were they removed from the game? im guessing removed by now, but i thought id ask!
Thanks!
