At least he isn't drooling and stammering anymore. I suppose I don't have it any worse than Shimada now. Maybe in a few more months I'll be able to hire a babysitter and go out again on Friday nights, dears.

I see you all there staring at a good man, an injured man.  This third Cryptos is a docile shell of a man.  You should find a way to help if you can.

It is gratifying that the mind of Cryptos has made such progress in repairing itself. However, he was far from making a full "recovery": I wish him well in resolving his internal conflict.

Dare I hope that the human aspect of his sentience may return? I pray that we might see the return of the "Brother In Arms" of the great Morpheus.

So... Cryptos still remembers everything, eh?

My, my, I do believe I see possibility.

That's not a wise decision. And from talking with other Cypherites, they are weary about following Veil as well.

I suggest that this would be a perfect time for all Cypherites to lay down their arms and leave this terrorist organization.

HA, and follow who, Morpheus?  The guy who had no qualms with setting off code bombs within the Matrix, killing bluepills?  The guy who would've probably brought down the whole system itself just to get Neo's body back?  No thanks, I'd rather follow someone who protects the innocence rather than someone who thinks they are expendable.

In the long run, Meta, Morpheus just did what you do, Cyph scum. In the long run, Morpheus's action would have restarted the cycle, as is your wish. In the long run, EPNs actions will return the cycle if they resume doing what they do.

But not in the long run but NOW you Cypherite are no longer any use. You are no longer of any importance. I hope you get reinserted soon Meta. It'll be unpleasant to be drowned in your new home, I'll assure you.

The loss of Cryptos is... is... eh... it's hard to bear... That man was a mentor... he was a real Cypherite.

But we move on. Under Veil--so be it. We're not finished, not by far... Look to the skies, the future's emblazened in the moving of the clouds....

Of course there is a slight possibility that he IS his full self again - if I wanted to destroy the Matrix and found myself surrounded by people who want to preserve it at all costs I'd probably fake insanity too!! I suppose given this event it's not that likely but it is an interesting possibility. Cryptos has always been a very interesting character, so it'll be interesting to see where this goes.

The poor guy has no clue what's going on anymore.  He thought he was enjoying the nice spring time environment of Sakura, but the guy can't make heads or tails of his visual input anymore.  Perhaps it's time for the old boy to return to the system and Veil to lead us on to bigger and badder things, no?

Yes I was intrigued by the fact that many of the Cypherites present at that meeting answered that they didn't want to be re-inserted when asked by Cryptos. 
#36300222865 04/24/2007 06:19:45 Re:[7.2.1] Story-time with the mind-job - Syntax - 4/20/07
You'd think now that the spotlight is on the Cypherite poster boy Cryptos as being a tool of the Machines, their organization would take a step back and rethink their alignment. Rather, they blindly press on, now not even driven by the goal to reinsert, but by revenge. It's gone from bad to worse with the Blue bandwagon.

Obviosly there has been a new task for us Cypherites. I mean, lets put it this way. If we all were reinserted, what guarantee do we have of the matrix not being destroyed? As of right now, I sure dont want to be reinserted, because Im sure that some sick headed Red-pill, that has a complete passion of hate for me, would scoop me up and pretty much torture the heck out of me and my Blue-pill self.

 I dont know, maybe those that said that they didnt want to be reinserted are those that have been influenced to fight against those that seek the destruction of the matrix. Maybe it is looking out for #1, but I think it is the truth. Therefore, I think this observation has become an important thought for many Cypherites.

 Making sure that the Matrix wont be destroyed so when reinserted there minds wont be fried.

((I dont understand what is going on with this though. I mean at first Veil hates the machines. Or doesnt she? Then she says she doesnt want to be reinserted and could give a S___ about what Cryptos does. Seriously, Im very confused.))

((I got to admit I'm very confused as well, I thought the two things that you need to believe in to be a Cyph is that you hate EPNs and you'd want to be reinserted at some point.  If our leaders doesn't want to be reinserted, then what makes us different from the machines?))

Here Tranta spoke in better words. ((This is how I am as a Cypherite.))

Hmm... Let me see here, what've we got... Ah....

They say that our official 'mantra' is the elimination of all other redpills first, and then re-insertion. The general beleif is that if we get re-inserted, the Teen Team will find some way to wake us up again. Logically, if we were awakened once, we chose to be--even if we did without knowing it--and as such we'd do the same thing again if put in the same situation.

It's pretty sound logic, I suppose, but eh... It doesn't work from a non-violent standpoint; my standpoint. So we stay and protect the system first, trying to stop others from being awakened, or at least offerring them an unbiased truth. I guess you could call us martyrs to the cause, but there's no question that you'd all have a field day with me calling myself that....

There is nothing to rethink.  We are who we are regardless of whose at the reigns.  Some of us seek reinsertion; others seek vengenance.  In the end we'll lay down for the big nap but not until the noisy neighbors are done partying.

Ehh, that idea is flawed in my opinion.
After all, for argument's sake,  what if they managed to convert/kill all redpills? What then?
They'd be awakened again. By themselves, if not by someone else.

I don't understand why there is a Cryptos 3.  As far as I know everyone else who was overwritten and then 'attacked' by Seraph went back to their original personalities, but apparently Cryptos did not.  Why didn't he, and where did this third personality come from?

Possibly because the degree in which Cryptos was overwritten was difrent then everyone else. Think about it. Cryptos had a direct link to Gray, he was basicly an agent in discuise. Seraph was able to undo the major points in which this program had control but not all of it because of the level of the program that was put in him.

Just a guess anyway.

Verb, you see Cryptos as a clown. Whereas we see you as someone of little faith in our organization. Even while being with us. You have there opinion and we have ours.

There is a meaning behind Veil's leadership position, and it is so funny how quick you all judge her leadership capabilties. Yea, she didnt preach from inside of a box, or have a inspirational speech infront of a small group in a church. Many leaders have different tacticts... think Malcom X and Martin Luther King Jr.

However, we can think about this question, if she isnt a natural born leader, could she learn to be one?

That being said, he ain't fit ta lead us right now, and I think Veil has got some better plans.  Maybe we can do a bit more of our "active" work while Cryptos is coming to terms with who he is.

And since so many of ya think he's gonna turn his back on us, just make sure ya find a way ta get him off the ship before I put a bullet in his head.  Cause I ain't about ta let him go back ta bein just another Morpheus.  I'll sooner kill him than let that happen.

Just a guess anyway.

You could be right, perhaps the extent to which he was overwritten was greater than Seraph's ability to remove it, and so some overwritten parts remain.

Oh the irony.


Yeah... I kinda thought the whole point of the Cyperites was that they preferred being lied to.

Nice spot GamiSB SMILEY

I don't understand why there is a Cryptos 3.  As far as I know everyone else who was overwritten and then 'attacked' by Seraph went back to their original personalities, but apparently Cryptos did not.  Why didn't he, and where did this third personality come from?


Possibly because the degree in which Cryptos was overwritten was difrent then everyone else. Think about it. Cryptos had a direct link to Gray, he was basicly an agent in discuise. Seraph was able to undo the major points in which this program had control but not all of it because of the level of the program that was put in him.

I thought it was because he attacked Cryptos right in front of the Cypherites and they ran him off before he was done.
