Operatives,

Although we have been unable to locate the Oracle herself, the code fragments you recovered may be useful in finding her. They must be subjected to a thorough analysis. We appreciate your ingenuity in recovering them from the Exiles; in particular, I would like to congratulate operatives HostileIntention, Ioffryd, Mathalos, Starschwar, and Verision on obtaining the five fragments. Bella spetacolo, operatives.

Omaggi,

Agent Pace
System Liaison

I'm so glad the Machines have abandoned the war, it makes my job a lot easier.

I think everyone abandoned the war.

Wait...were at war? I thought all we were doing was arguing back and forth.

Congratulations to everyone who helped with and participated in this.

And thank goodness all I had to do was mass-produce Health Booster 4.0's. If I'd gotten stuck with that quadratic equation, I'd still be sitting there.

We're suppose to be at war

Nuh-uh, we're dealing with the generic over powered villain.

Generic OverPowered Villain is threatening to destroy the Matrix! Are you a bad enough Zionite to save the Matrix?

(I'd say Machinist but apparently Rarebit haaaaates Machinists lately. And I'd say Merv, but we don't actually matter in the story. We're the guys on the sidelines commenting and doin' our own thang. Aaaand I LIKE it! =p)

((ty Gami and Meta....I'm glad I am not the only one who thinks no one is really taking in this War RP format we should be using at the moment in the storyline))

that ... is one nice screenshot...

seriously... besides the glowing eye guy - agents in the midst of at first; a seemingly normal crowd ...

Excellent job people. I look forward to seeing this new fragment.

Was 24 supposed to be the correct answer to the question about trees dropping leaves? I worked through it, and I got something different.

"One-and-a-half trees lose one-and-a-half leaves in one-and-a-half days." If the number of trees is doubled, and the number of days stays the same, then the number of leaves dropped will be doubled. Therefore:

Three trees will lose three leaves in one-and-a-half days.

If the number of trees stays at three, and the number of days increases, then the number of leaves dropped will increase at the same rate as the number of days. To be more specific, the number of leaves dropped will be twice the number of days (since three [leaves] equals one-and-a-half [days] times two), as long as the number of trees stays at three.

"How many leaves will be dropped from three trees in eight days?"

Since the number of trees is three, the number of leaves dropped will be 16 (eight times two).

Also, I didn't see the answer to the quadratic equation in any of those screenshots. If you graph "Y equals three times X squared plus five times X minus twelve" on a TI-83 (or any other graphing calculator), you'll see that there is a minimum at X = -0.833 and Y = -14.083. If Y is any higher than -14.083, then there will be two values of X that satisfy the equation. If Y is less than -14.083, then there won't be any values of X that satisfy the equation (unless you use imaginary numbers). So the only way there can be a unique value of X that satisfies the equation is if Y = -14.083, but Biotechnician didn't say what Y was in any of those screenshots. Am I missing something? Could someone please explain what the answer was and how they got it? (It was pretty easy to factor the equation, but that didn't seem to help much.)
