Agh...It's too hard to see!
Hopefully this means they will get down to business, finally.

what in the green code is that last screen?
A view from under the water with red reflecting off of it, I think.
This looked cool, nice atmosphere. Sounds like the Apothecary may have to be on her guard

I've always wondered why they made him look old.
hmmm the plot thickens intresting to see what the plan with the cyphs will be
Must be interesting talking to yourself >.>
Too bad nobody found them.

Hmm...maybe another sky like LAST time?
I wonder why the Architect dismissed Pace only...

It doesn't look good for Pace nowadays, she's been acting very odd, and the moment she piped up the Architect dismissed her.
Hopefully this idea of hers will get her back in the good graces of her superior
It looked to me like she was dismissed because of the idea, but it could also have been that it wasn't her place to talk.
Poor Pace, well if the Machine's don't want her anymore, I hear us Cypherites are in need of a new program in our ranks, she will be a welcome addition!

The Architect's an idiot. He should have at least listened to Pace.

((I wholeheartedly agree. It's much more impacting to read an unfiltered log of discussion, rather than having to wade through countless lines of irrelevant, childish area chat/system log spam.
More of these 'insights' please, sometimes you don't need players around you to validate the discussion.))
Good nice post. Atmosphere. More of that please. 
Seems like no players found that event o.o still looked pretty cool though.. we all assume that meetings go on in public the whole time i don't really see why they can not happen in private like this also ...
((Yeah, if we had a few more of these it'd be fantastic.
Nice work Rare.))
love seeing the story unfold, great work!
GF, nice 1 v 1, all me son!

I think it was a marking thing in that KFC sold the likeness of the Cornal to WB so now every time I see the Architect I crave chiken.
In computing, the kernel is the central component of most computer operating systems (OSs). Its responsibilities include managing the system's resources and the communication between hardware and software components. As a basic component of an operating system, a kernel provides the lowest-level abstraction layer for the resources (especially memory, processors and I/O devices) that applications must control to perform their function. It typically makes these facilities available to application processes through inter-process communication mechanisms and system calls.
I don't know what to take on this Pace dismissal. It's hard to get a grasp as to why. Was it because of recent events, or is the Architect already very certain about what he will do about The CYPH.
TH
Its nice to see the Architect i have only seen him once and that was in a merv archive mission. its a shame the screens are so dark you can only just make them out but thats how the matrix is at the moment... a dark place.
Why does everyone assume that she was dismissed because the idea sucked or that the Architect didn't listen to her.
It's clear that it was foreshadowing and that the implication is that she in fact, told him, but we're not meant to know yet. Don't forget, they are all part of the same system, they don't necessarily need to speak vocally to communicate. That's just for appearance's sake.
I agree. The Architect will have known what Pace was thinking immediately.
Nice, I enjoyed reading that. Had some tension in it.
Cant wait to see what happens.
Cant wait to see what happens.
Agreed. Dispite what has happened to Pace, she is still obviously trusted by the Architect, even if only for him to find out if her programming has been damaged enough that it prohibits his will.

At least sometimes I can understand it when they have nothing to hide. But if they were gonna show part of it they should've just shown all of it... What we did hear was of little consequence anyway.
It seems like it shouldn't have been seen since he didn't write a summary. But that part is just my opinion.
3. Well, there was a sizable group during the sleepwalker event, which is the only other one i know about. Sounds about right since he only has two posts... I know he only shows up during crisis which means this might just be the last time we see em. Kinda stinks to have missed out (though i probably wouldn't have seen him/it anyway, being that it's kind of a Mach event)

Cool, The God of the Matrix appears for another time. I just hope whatever they have in store for the Cypher punks is punishement.

Interesting. This information will be most helpful in the coming weeks.
Ya go cypherites! This should be fun.
I actually like this event a lot and that no one stumbled across it. Usually when people come upon these things they ask stupid questions, like "Whats up rare?" Even if I myself had stumbled upon this I don't think I would've said anything. Either way, this peaks my interest, I'll be watching Machine reports closely...

((lol wierd i asked him just after this (before seeing the event) this...
Have you ever at one point tried to control more than two characters, if so how did it go? and if not would you ever consider trying?Yeah, I can do it if I run two clients on one machine (one with the -clone parameter) and task-switch between them. While dual-clienting I've tended to crash while trying to switch and toggle UI a lot (Kid/Gray battle in Camon), or if there are a lot of players around (Oracle/General/Niobe commando battle in Mara, Niobe/Kid/Morpheus? in the Projects). There's a theory that if I run from separate installs of the game on the same machine it will be more stable, so I'll have to give that a shot pretty soon here.))

It was just an event where no one happened to find it. Which is kind of sad because of the people involved and (apparently) the masses of people in /who range.

Well, having it posted everywhere prevents the story from progressing naturally. All you have to do is ask someone who knows. If there wasn't a report it's because there were no witnesses, or there wasn't supposed to be anyway. We didn't have this forum originally, you know?
Trust me, I've followed the story without knowing the plot several times this week.

I'd rather they not make "secrets" if it's going to be posted all over the board the next day.

There are no secrets, everyone has alts on each org or knows someone who does and they tell the other orgs and so on and so on.
That is a great sig.
I thought it was an excellent bit of story, although some of the screenshots weren't as clear as usual.
It is good to see that the Architect is directing his subordinate programs in person, althoough it does show that he is concerned about the state of affairs.
The weather's 'critical stage' sounds quite forboding.. According to Pace Sati has been rescued by some unusually efficient operatives from Zion, I would have thought that the weather would be returning to normal...
Also, I am concerned about Pace, she has not been the same since she was attacked, this could be down to a mere attitude adjustment by Pace herself, or something more sinister.
