The Machines have changed something

So I was on a mission in Moriah E with a couple of faction members and the second phase of the mish took us to a building that was right next to the HL in Moriah E. We were on the 3rd floor I think. We finished our objectives, and I ran to the elevator to go to street level. Imagine my surprise when Zippher, a red, was waiting for me in the elevator! She killed me in one move of course and I was left with my mouth hanging all the way to the floor. That's not supposed to happen, right? The floor of the building where your mission takes place only allows mission team members in it, right? Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I thought it was awesome! I think it only makes sense that opposing orgs should be able to hunt us down during a mission. After all, we kill npc's from other orgs on missions. But has anyone ever had this happen to them before?

We hadn't left the mission area yet. I was on my way to the elevator, and hadn't even gotten in it yet. I was under the impression that players who weren't on the mission team couldn't even go to the same floor where the mission is. There she was, waiting for us to come to the elevator.

Yeah, I'm on Vector and i'm 32. I've just never heard of a non team member being able to come to the same floor of the building where the mission takes place. I've even seen actual team members get stuck on an elevator because they got to a mission area too late.

I'll say you were on Vector and above level 15.

Only the mission area in which the actual mission takes place is open just for you. Everywhere else in the building is open for everyone else. Zipph may have been on her way to her own mission and unconsciously picked you off on the way.

Regardless of what is supposed to happen, I think it was cool. I wish the game didn't block other orgs from coming into the mission area at all. I think it would make even the standard missions seem more relevant or more urgent. Maybe I should start a thread on the dev forum or something.
