These are sorta Pandora's Box-esque, but with their own twists.
Morpheus Bombing Encounter
Premise: Players embark on a quest to relive one of the greatest times in the Matrix—Morpheus’s code-bombing attacks against the Machines before he was killed by The Assassin.Throughout the quest, players will receive clues and items leading to a new piece of the puzzle. The first initial three items would need to be usable by their respective orgs only, meaning a new item restriction type (Machine-locked, Zion-locked, Merv-locked).
Initiation
Machines: Player trades $i500,000 for an item: “01.LOG.MAE”.
Zion: Player trades $i500,000 for an item: “Niobe’s Rant”.
Merovingian: Player trades $i500,000 for an item: “Ookami’s Revenge”.

///////01 MAINFRAME///////
Agent Gray: Operative, we have word that the group of exiles known as The Archivist Society have regenerated subroutines capable of recreating happenings performed by the deceased terrorist, Morpheus.Morpheus led a crusade throughout the System in an attempt to… destroy it.He brought chaos and disorder.We believe these subroutines, despite their nature may… promote Morpheus’s propaganda again.We want you to order the destruction of these codes.You are to take this transmission, along with the following order to the City Library.Failure is… not an option.
Attention, Archivist Society.This is Agent Gray.I order you to dispose of subroutine codes known as AE.109.These codes are a threat to System stability that will not be tolerated.Failure to dispose of these codes will be met with use of extreme force.
Efficiently,
Agent Gray.

ZION ITEM
Even though he’s dead, he still is causing a fuss.If that **** sim wasn’t enough…
He was a great leader, no matter which way you slice it.Morpheus knew how to command and inspire so many people, it was scary.He just had this sort of, well, I don’t know.He always spoke in a way that made you want to believe everything he said.But **** it, he wasn’t right about everything.He ended up getting himself killed in the end.Now the Archivist Society wants to bring him back in the form of a subroutine recreation.Great.The Machines are going to have a field day with this.I need you, for our own protection, to have these taken care of.Go to the City Library and see if you can have it escalated to Hypatia or someone for the society’s consideration.Try to persuade them to get rid of those codes.
I know I can count on you,
Niobe
MERV ITEM
Ookami: Morpheus…I fought him a long time ago, before the garbage bag killed him.I remember that day in Tabor Park…rrrrr.This Archivist Society is trying to recreate his events through codes.I want them.Go find a pencil-pusher at the City Library…hrrrr…and bring me back those codes, or you’ll be a permanent part of the floating feast…Hmmh!
===================================================
Step 2: Player visits the City Library.The player trades their respective item to an Archivist collector on the roof.
Archivist CollectorText: I am apart of the Archivist Society, a group that seeks to learn all knowledge of the simulation, mostly past events and versions. How may I help you?
Requirement Set One
Text: Well, the Archivist Society appreciates diplomatic negotiations. Let me see if I can get you in touch with Hypatia. Just hand over the request for verification.
Trade
Niobe's Rant FOR
Hypatia's Call Center
May not be given to non-player character May not be given to other player Singleton
Details: This code allows you access to an external computer uplinked to the Archivist Society's network. It seems useful only in the Core Network.
Response: Here you go. It gives you access to one of our computer terminals. Use it to set up a meeting with Hypatia.
Requirement Set Two
Text: This key? Oh nothing, it's for the Library stock room, far beyond the interests of the Machines, I'-mmm sur-rre.
Trade
01.LOG.MAE FOR
MAE.109 Project Access
May not be given to non-player character May not be given to other player Singleton
Details: After denying Agent Gray's request to destroy the MAE.109 codes, you forcefully took this from the Archivist outside the City Library. It seems useful only in the Barrens.
Response: Hey buddy, watch it there, before I have the Bookworms rough you up.
Requirement Set Three
Text: MAE.109 you say? What would the Meroving--well, hey, the Archivist Society values information. Maybe if you paid the right price... This mere fragment won't come of any use to you anyway.
Trade
$i1,000,000 FOR
MAE.109 Frag
May not be given to non-player character May not be given to other player Singleton
Details: Though the code type is unusual, this fragment comes from the MAE.109 project from the Archivist Society. It is advised you use caution when using it. Area of use for this frag is unknown.
Response: Pleasure doing business. Have fun, if that fragment even works.
===================================================
Step 3 (Zion)
Mission launched from Hypatia's Call Center: Meeting Request.
Phase One
Objectives: Use the computer
Mission Controller: Tyndall
Mission Text: Warrior, thank you for following up on Niobe's request. For Zion's safety, we need to have this Morpheus business taken care of. We're already under huge amounts of pressure from the Machines. Go to the marked location and see if you can setup a meeting with Hypatia.
Enter building: Operator: Ya know, I don't think Morpheus is as bad as everyone makes him out to be. I think Niobe still has feelings for him. Anyway, that's the spot.
Use Computer: Hello, [Redpill name], this is Hypatia. I have heard Zion's request for a meeting, and I'm afraid we can't acknowledge it. The Archivist Society prides itself on preserving past Matrix experiences, and allowing the destruction of these codes is not in our interest. I am sorry, but that is our final word. -Hypatia.
Operator: What? Straight-up denial? Well, I guess you can't be too surprised. Those *CENSORED* exiles are too proud. Let's see what Tyndall has on her mind.
Phase Two
Objectives: Eliminate security, Search the area
Exit Building: Tyndall: [Redpill Name], I'm sorry to hear our request was denied. We have been hearing from other operatives that there's a facility used by the Archivist Society for storage. We have the rumored location pulled up now. Please go and see if you can find anything, and keep an eye out for security.
Enter building: Operator: Eh, I swear this happens to us all the time. I guess you never know unless you try, right? Whoa! Tyndall was right, I hope you're packing--guns. And they say I'm a perv.
[Player is met with resistance from White Security]
After eliminating security: Operator: That far door just became unlocked. You think it was some sort of trigger?
Enter far room: Operator: Hey, there's a safe. I think one of those security people dropped a key for it. You did get it, right?
Safe Contents: Morpheus' Glasses-Replica (no buffs).
Operator: Whoa! We could make a fortune on those. You're gonna split the profits with me, right? [Redpill name]? You know I can see you on my screen, right?
Exit Building: Tyndall: A replica of Morpheus' glasses? I don't imagine those could come of any use, but our Zion Investigators may be able to analyze it. Get it to them as soon as you can. Thank you for your dedication, [Redpill name].
Morpheus' Glasses
May not be given to non-player character May not be given to other player Singleton
Melee Accuracy Bonus (3%)
Melee Defense Bonus (3%)
Ballistic Defense Bonus (3%)
Thrown Defense Bonus (2%)
At this point, the player can either keep the cool glasses, or trade them to the Zion Investigator for the next piece of the puzzle. It is possible to attain all the rewards, but it would take some work.
Step 3 (Merovingian)
MAE.109 Frag launches an encounter.
After using the MAE.109 Frag in International, a single NPC spawns named "109-Partial Body". The NPC is Morpheus' RSI completely in code, at level 65. Timer to defeat the NPC is 15 minutes.
When player defeats the NPC, a safe spawns lootable only by the spawner.
Safe Contents: 109-Partial Body Shell, 109-Partial Body Shell Notes
109-Partial Body Shell
May not be given to non-player character May not be given to other player Singleton
Details: This shell is a partial recreation of Morpheus' RSI, made by the Archivist Society. Its use replaces your RSI shell for two minutes with this partial shell.
109-Partial Body Shell Notes
Read: --why it is important to keep this--erovingian's hands, especial--his investigators---
At this point, the player can either keep the FX reward (first reward is a novelty--no buffs), or trade them to the Merv Investigator for the next piece of the puzzle. It is possible to attain all the rewards, but it would take some work.
