Hmm...I wonder in whom's best interest this is.

I have a feeling this could shed some light as to what this Intruder is...*cross fingers*

Ok... something is strange here.... Gray did the Slopey shoulders routine to Pace, never thought he'd pass the buck when it came to explanations....

Also.. when did the operator grow a pair when it comes to orders? Granted he enabled us to get some answers, but it's not what I expected from him... perhaps many operatives, but not him....

I have to say...even though we haven't learned crap when it comes to the Intruder, this has been one of my favorite subchapters. Early in 9.1, the first Syntax Cyph event allowed us to meet the Intruder much earlier than I expected. Now, in this mission, our Operator makes his own plans, cancels the always boring "let's go out and kill random people even though they always reconstruct" mission, and sticks it to the man. Very nice.

It's nice to see Gray and Pace actually admitting that they are keeping something from even loyal Machinist operatives... though it doesn't make it any more a positive situation.  Of course, there are always those listening who would misuse such information, so if The Intruder is truly as dangerous as they believe, it is understandable.  'Twas also nice to finally get a directive to not approach The Intruder in a hostile manner... most of us had already figured this out already, but to have it spelled out is always nice.

(( Odd turn for the Operator though.. there have been sparks of discontent before, but to go full out and switch the mission plan?  And from his fawning over Pace in the past to a snappy comment about her dismissing topics with little but charm and good looks? *shrug*  The comment about reconning Zion ops was hilarious though.  I didn't even think to get a screen of it at the time.. anyone manage to grab one? ))

(( Just one little thing...Gray's response should change if you do finish killing the npc's, rather than leaving when your operator tells you. ))

((I hoped for that to be the case... but I don't think the missions system allows for alternate routes... I carried on taking out the Zionites, well we are still at war, but Gray was still perturbed by the operators change in plans...))
