[10.1.5] An unidentified operative broadcast signal - Recursion - 5/13/08

Agent_Gray · 05/14/2008 13:28:22

An unidentified operative broadcast signal was detected on long-range scans in northeast Richland. The signal disappeared after several minutes. Anyone with further information on this signal should contact their CO.

Efficiently,

Agent Gray

MxO_Neopill · 05/14/2008 13:30:42

Thats one big dude.

We'll see who finds him first.

Mathalos · 05/14/2008 13:31:06

I will keep an eye out for him. Thank you for the information, Gray.

nubious81 · 05/14/2008 13:31:14

hmmm could that be?....

Halborn posing as a redpill? Body and head types, and baldness match up...))

Tenshi · 05/14/2008 13:38:07

Well, I picked something strange up running a scan the other day, Pretty sure it's the same guy...

Sattakan has been cloned.

I know right! I was thinking the same thing.

Satta · 05/14/2008 14:27:31

If anybody runs up to me and starts screaming, "I found him, I found him," they are going to get shot. And this dude better not roll up on Sugaree. There can only be ONE Sattakan. SMILEY

If Ingus sees that dude he's gonna put a bullet right between his eyes like BAM! Like dead smack center in his cranium. And when his head hits the floor. The ground will shake like d@mn! because the bullet was so heavy or was it his head? Then Ingus will stand over his body and say: "Opps, thought you were Sattakan."

BANG! BANG! SMILEY

Ah Satta, let the new guy have some fun. Theres plenty of other women in TC and MxO for you to have cyber sex, plus you have your actual wife too! Keep on pimpin' those hoes!

Neoteny · 05/14/2008 15:06:22

My first thought was TIMCAMM, but, well, I'll consign myself to the fact that he's been deleted.

Halborn sounds like a real possibility. Perhaps he's found a downed hovercraft somewhere out there and taken liberty of their conventional broadcast equipment.

((Aaand, he happens to bear a striking resemblance to that "mystery man" from cinematics past, which I believe many of us have assumed to be Halborn.))

Good theory.

Do we know that for sure? I can't remember if he had any visible holes in him, but when the Mjolnir crew couldn't find Niobe or Ghost, Mauser said "Should we jack in and try to contact them", which would suggest that he can jack in too.

0uranos · 05/14/2008 17:21:25

Mjolnir (“Hammer”)

Captain: Roland
First mate: Colt
Pilot: AK
Operator: AK
Other crew: Maggie, Mauser

He's not pilot or operator so I think he's a pod born.

First scene in Revolutions you get a good shot at his arm. He has no holes in it thus he was Freeborn.

Didn't Mauser die protecting Lock?

Nope, no body was found where Lock was and all EPN could find was some blood, electro gun burn marks all over the place, and his finger prints.

Gami is correct. You also get a good shot of him in the end of Reloaded when they're talking about the battle where the EMP went off and took out all the ships. No plugs on Mauser.

Procurator · 05/15/2008 01:38:49

Heh-hey, that's gotta be Halborn!

The cheeky beggar's back without his usual technology, so he's as vulnerable as the rest of us. He won't have much luck continuing his search in a normal RSI. Have at him, boys and girls.

Negatory.

No holes.

Coro · 05/15/2008 04:23:31

Does no holes in the arms necessarily mean freeborn? Weren't Neo's superfluous metal bits removed? Couldn't Mauser have simply be awakened for a sufficiently long period that his holes have healed over? Do we ever see the back of Mauser's head? Surely, that's the only way to truely confirm whether we might see him in The Matrix.

BayBay · 05/15/2008 07:13:56

Well, it confirms who it appears to be, anyway.

Escaped · 05/15/2008 23:16:41

It has been confirmed in the lastest crit and in footage of Mauser on board the Hammer that he did not have a cranial jack on his neck. My best guess is one of the Intruders or the General got ahold of him and allowed him to jack into the Matrix. Because the Machines would not send a report to look for an operative if he was jacked in with their tools and system. His disorientation to the Matrix is probably causing him to use hardlines at an accelerating pace than normal.

Neoteny · 05/15/2008 23:56:42

My morbid guess is that Halborn found the BIP and Mauser's body, transferred his consciousness into Mauser's body, and is lingering in the Matrix for some reason. Another darker guess is that the Machines used advanced technology to jack him into the Matrix and then overwrote his RSI programming and are holding him there for whatever reason.

A guess on the light side is that Carlyne happened upon his injured frame, took pity on him, and brought him on board, putting him into the Matrix to keep him from getting into trouble on his ship. Or similarly, Mauser, laying injured in the Real, is near Halborn's ship when it powers down due to Carlyne's virus, and he takes the opportunity to board it and jack himself into the Matrix to keep himself alive, similar to how Halborn keeps himself alive despite being "dead" for centuries (perhaps the same reason on Carlyne's vessel).

Personally, I have a hard time believing that it's Mauser.

Ballak · 05/16/2008 01:09:43

Wait, wait. So after Unlimits with Pew Pew Lazers, Flys that take Human form and shoot people, Seraph "exorcising" people, Cryptos having overwritten Mech eyes, Wireframe Men with even more pew pew.. explosion lazers, you honestly can't believe that a guy with no apparent jacks can jack into the Matrix?

Fixed.

And I agree. Nothing is far-fetched in this game anymore.

That was there from the start. Jacking in without the use of a cranial jack was done long before MxO was released. Did we all forget that Neo pulled the same stunt? Yeah he had one but he made it quiet apparent that the use of one is not needed to get into the Matrix or any other construct for that matter.

ZaneZavin · 05/16/2008 11:32:18

When did Neo jack in without a jack?

End of Reloaded. Separates his mind from his body and wakes up inside the Trainman's construct. Then taking a train into the Matrix still without the use or need of a jack. While in his case it was accidental it still shows that it can be done.

I thought that was what you ment. If he could jack in without a jack, do you think he would end up with the Trainman? I don't believe that he randomly and accidently, separated himself from his body to end up there. I think it is more likely that he was trapped there with purpose. Maybe the Trainman had something set up. Jacking in without a jack may indeed be possible, but this in no form proves it.

It doesn't prove this 100% either way. There could be a large variety of unknown factors. That's all I'm saying.

Thing about that, when they left the Oracle he suddenly had a jack.

psilody · 05/19/2008 20:44:40

Yeah who knows... Mauser, Halborn?? guess we'll know when we know.

((On a semi related note from above, I just caught Ballak's sig, (as of 8:35 PM US MST, 5/19) but i cant quote it so.. Just let me say that my Factionmates name is Coroebus, a figure (if obscure) from Greek History/mythology. In the future before bashing a name as "smashing fingers against a keyboard", you might want to do a little research.... K thanks))

Edit: Removed unneccessary, yet illustrative, ribbing of Ballak's handle. Sorry, was a little miffed. Still am about this Podcast. anyway off topic so ima drop it.

Ballaks signature is quoting from the SOE Podcast

K my bad....

but still... why is he quoting it and why is the SOE podcast bashing players handles? Just saying...

But it does. We see a man without a jack pluggin into somewhere that a jack would be needed. It proves that it is possible for someone to seperate their mind from their body and send it to another location. Thus jacking in without a jack is possible. However the menas to do so remains unknown to us at this time. Plus your arguemnt for saying it does not prove it is based of your own assumption as to why he found himself in the trainman's construct but in order for your assumption to bare any weight you need to show evidence of some outside force directing him where to go. But even then you can't deny that Neo did not use a cranal jack to get there.

That was to get him out. The point is (as I mentiond above) that it is possible to jack into a construct without a cranal jack. Neo didn't know how he did it but he did. Him useing a jack to get out doesn't change the fact that he did not have one to get in.

Yea, my understanding is that in order to get him out he either would have had to do it on his own (which apparently he didn't even know how he got in, much less get out) or use the hardline, but hardlines are apparently directly related to the cranial jacks, so I imagine they put him in a chair and stuck a jack into him.

One day, God invented the English language and the people were happy. On the second day, God invented quotation marks so that the people could take out of context what other people said, which in this case is used in a sarcastic nod towards SOE, and the people were still happy. On the third day, God invented Sony Online Entertainment's Brenlo along with SOE Podcast, and the people were still happy. On the fourth day, God invented Jason "Pex" Ryan, and gave him the distinction of MMO Names, and the people laughed.

Lol! Handles in online games if they have to be unique will always result in increasingly weird and/or inventive and/or referenced to historical/mythological names. I guess it's either unique names or hundreds of similar names relating to main characters of whatever game it is walking around...

lol good point... would have been a better joke of course if Coro's name really were a random smattering of keystrokes...

I guess what kinda miffs me is more- Why the hell are we paying for hack radio talent to broadcast nearly useless news with modestly humorous jokes? Umm can we just fire this guy, get the podcasts as a printout, and hire some more devs? Plz?

Anyway still off the topic.... back on it, recent events suggest to me that, this is not in fact Mauser. Can't put my finger on why, maybe cuz he hasn't in any way tried to contact Zion. I mean, sure hes disoriented and all, but, geez, you think you'd reach out...
