oooh somthing new perhapse a update to the last mission?
Maybe a new "untraceable" red pill or whatnot?
As you expect it's about a new red pill developed by Ms. Wright. It was an interesting mission learning about the relationship between Wright and Zion, just hope the Machine attack doesn't cause it to collapse. It was also interesting reading the comments of the guards and the information from hacking computers (are the numbers on the first computer supposed to mean anything?).
A little bug to note when it is Archived: If you loot the Red Pill from the body in phase 3, you are told on the objectives that you need to give the target the Red Pill, as he is dead you cant leaving the mission incompleteable, I had to restart the mission and leave the Red Pill behind... it hurt to do that 
" width="15" height="15" /> Something tells me though that the pill was supposed to be lootable and that phase was meant to be completeably leaving searchers with a free Red Pill... mabey I am just greedy 
It was a good mission, more buisness that battle, which is fun every now and then, makes you feel more important rather than a grunt sent in to kill everything

Yup, had that same bug, kills the mission.
Also, on the way to the third phase the objectives already told me to eliminate the hostiles despite it apparently being an ambush =P

The mission was good. And the lil tidbits of info seem to be very... interesting.. weather or not that info will be used soon.. or maybe even never... but who knows.... Though as of now EPN and EPN Liasons should have this information and my ... findings.... i just hope its not leading to what i think its leading to...
The hackable computers were great, the one about a hovercraft getting downed by squiddies added a sense of relism to this war. Has anyone cracked the other one yet?
I haven't finished, I'm holding out for that red pill!

I am not sure that criticals have time limits, even if they do the redpill should dissappear.
From Rarebits post (by the way, no problem 
) and by logic, both people have swallowed the Redpills and are therefore unreachable unless you want to cut open the stomache of the dead Red-Pill or get out the long latex glove for the first one 
Sorry, what I meant was I wasn't going to do the mission (I aborted it) until i was sure whether we could get the red pill or not. As it seems we're not supposed to get it I'll do the mission content, though a little miffed at not getting a pill! Ah well, I guess it'd cheese off those who got 'em as rare items if everyone could have them all of a sudden - which I can understand.

Actually I think there was a old Machine crit that allowed you to walk away with an unused Blue Pill but that was altered for the Archives so it would disappear, mabey I am wrong but if I am right then only Zion/EPN members would get them.

I found a bug in this one.
SPOILERS
When the second guy dies from the redpill and machines attack, if you loot the guy and get back the redpill there is no way you can complete the mission.

Hmm...along the lines of the Merv mission, where it was simply a filler week mostly. Kinda like with the Assassin, when crit after crit had nothing...eh well at least I doubt it will be the same this time around. Wright's interesting. Liked the hackable computers too. Are the numbers from the first one important?

Danielle Wright made some new red pills that are different so the Machines can't exploit them! I went to see her and Ghost, a lab person and a few of her guards! And a computer that I hacked with some wierd group of numbers on it O_o I talked to the lab person first, who went on about how great and smart Danielle is, her inventing the emergency jack-out system (which is great!) and that she thinks she will play a large part in the time to come when humans are saved from the Machines! Danielle gave me two of the new red pills and said we would be giving them to real redpills to test! Ghost assured me that it would be fine, they just want to see if it blocks the Machines! He also told me they think Danielle could be really dangerous! He said she knows how to get into the Zion mainframe, but they can't figure out how she is able to do it! She can't get into New Zion though, and he is concerned this could be a way for her to do it, since the new pills have to work with New Zion stuff! He said this is why Lock was against accepting her help! Well, she seems nice enough to me 
The guards were sort of rude to me on the way out, but they are just doign their job
Well the first test redpill took the pill but then didn't look so good The operator said her vital signs were going wierd! She started moaning a little too, but luckily there was a technical person here to oversee the test! The tech said the pill worked to stop the Machine stuff, but something didn't process the data correctly, and they'll have to try to fix it for the next test!! There was also another hacked computer here that was a message, a letter from someone to someone else, about someone they knew who had been killed by Sentinels, along with his ship! That's terrible
The next subject has a few Zion guards watching him! THey said they were happy the Machines could be going after the Merv and easing up on them now, and then I gave the pill to the test person, but then, they fell over dead! The Machines had broken in and attacked! One of the Zion guards was still alive and helped me fight them off, but the tester was dead! The operator couldn't tell if it was the pill or the Machines that killed him! O_O Tyndall said we should report it all to Ms. Wright!
Danielle basically said that Zion couldn't keep secrets very well, so Machines were bound to attack sooner or later! =/ She said she didn't have anything to do with it, because if she wanted to betray Zion she could give the Machines much better information that the new pills! :O She did say they got some information from the tests, enough so that they won't kill bluepills when testing on them! Well that's good at least =O She said Zion would probably betray her before she ever would, and Tyndall says we need her help as much as she needs ours right now!
