Now lemme guess.
Zion try to get more of their data out. Or something. Or try to get data from something.

Wow!! Definitely the best mission of the chapter so far, you can really feel the grip of the machines tightening in this one. Maybe it was circumstantial for me but I was attacked by Agents no less than seven times during this mission, which made Niobe's plea to "tag your *CENSORED* nodes" carry much more weight than I'd originally thought.
The bugging out of Tyndall's communication helped show that in the simulation the Machines most certainly have the upper hand. It was nice to find a bit more info on how Zion manage to maintain communications etc. in this mish.
*Spoiler* And it was nice having Beirn show up and meatwad an Agent for you, maybe the Merv's will try and turn the ceasfire into a more proactive agreement? *Spoiler*
Overall a thrilling an intriguing mission in my opinion

Can you say winner ^_^

Ooh...got my questions from the Machine mission answered quickly.
Very cool mission. Zion was getting pwned, then...what the hell? Beirn/Merv is helping out Zion? Huh?
I think the Merv must have realized the war must be prolonged for maximum profit. Now onto the Merv mission...this might be the perfect order for them this week.

Just a really cool mission; lots of fighting, a sense of urgency throughout...the ending was a complete surprise, and was the icing on the cake.
Two thumbs up.

A gripping mission that was enjoyable to do. It was fun to gather a team together and fight the machines in the second phase and the bluepill comments reminded you of how unaware they are about the current struggle for humanity. Beirn at the end was a nice surprise and confirmed the Merovingian wants to help in the war (even if it is just for his profit) although I don't understand how he still has his powers after all this time.
Afterwards I checked the standard missions to see if Tyndall still had trouble broadcasting and she didn't but that is to be expected anyway. Can't disrupt people missioning.

Suprise...well sort of. We did know, that the machines was going to attack us in soon or later, it was just a question of time.

I actully think the machines is getting pwned, they lost control over what they allways thought they had control of and now they are in panic!
Beirn showing up at the was kinda scary. Well i guess we will see alot more to Beirn in the future, but he will be gone when the Merovingian can't use him anymore or he fails...witch he will do.
img>ok whats the merv up two im trying to work out whats in it for him and at the moment i cant find much, as all zion has to offer is nill. the only reason i can think of at the moment, is that if zion falls the merv would be next and thus we needs to step in, that or knows somthing we dont and he is taking our side in case some one rather powerful suddenly tunes up on our side. which in that case he is makeing the right the move.
He just wants the war to last as long as possible because of the business opertunities it presents, with Zion getting badly pwnt he had to step in to sustain it.

Tyndall's voice was breaking up!! I could only make out a few words, but I could tell the machine did something to the communications! :O The operator said it was because of machine viruses! Tyndall called to send me to Ghost for some important news! Ghost said their broadcast center was under attack by the Machines! There is no hope to save the center, but maybe we can get some important data out of there and send it to an emergency uplink!
Tyndall was still having problems, but I think she said to be careful! The operator said mostly machines but some of our people were still inside also! Luckily I found some of the Zion guys and they were okay enough to fight with me We managed to get the data but more Machines showed up when we did! The operator's plan is to put the data into another computer close by that hasn't been messed up by the Machines yet, and then he will send it off to a safer place to pick up later! Machines kept attacking but we did what he said and then ran out of there to pick up the data from the place he sent it! The other Zion guys stayed behind to cover my escape!
This building was much safer! It looked like a business office, with friendly bluepills inside I got the disk and made it out with no problems!! Now to take to the uplink!
Uh oh, the operator said the Machines already found the uplink! Maybe I can make it in there anyway O_O It didn't work out like that though, an Agent showed up in the room with the uplink! I was about to be attacked until Beirn showed up out of nowhere and killed the Agent!! What in the world is Beirn helping me for!? All he said was he was just saying "hello" from the Merovingian, and telling me to shut down the uplink after I did what I came to do, because he isn't going to keep the Agents away all day!! I put the data into the uplink and got out of there, still no reason from Beirn why the Merv sent him!! The operator said that with the data we saved, we should be able to make some kind of back-up system so we can all still jack-in! Thank goodness!
