Phrack, I have read your Manifesto and I am impressed. The words you have written here, coupled with what was said during a conversation with Darminian last night over my recent Chaos Theory, suggests that we might be more alike than I eve...

The information I acquired on The Nebuachnezzar did indeed come from my experiences playing Path of Neo. That source is indispensable in imparting greater detail on what exactly goes on in The Matrix and out of it. Anyone else care to tell...

After reading this, someone asked me a few evenings ago, "What is to be done then?" He wanted to know how Chaos Theory applies to combat and the execution of operations both in The Real and The Matrix. He wanted to know what my opinion was...

Awesome proposed ideas! I highly recommend that you contact some of the leaders of the Recursion Machine factions to have an OOC meeting to figure this out and decide on one of the three proposals you put forward. If you're not familiar wi...

Triluminary Training Constructs: The Hapsburg The initial stage in any new Triluminarian's training, whether they were recruited as a Redpill from another Organization or as a Bluepill Potential, is the vivid explanation of what it is that...

A curious question for all of the Captains out there with a little idle time on their hands: what Constructs do you use to train new Operatives in your crews? I think it would be intriguing to see how different crews with their differing p...

I’m sure you are all painfully aware now of the Smith Virus and what it meant- what it represented. But I will explain, if you do not. The Smith Virus was the product of The One destroying the purpose that the Agent known as Smith once had...

So what does Schopenhauer tell us we should do about Causality? What am I trying to say here? Is there a way out of Causality and its etiological horror? Yes, there is. “Where there is a Will, there is always a Way.” But, in this case, the...

Let us begin with the surface of Chaos Theory. Of course, as you all know, the surface of something exudes its appearance. And so Chaos Theory deals with appearances, as well as reality. Oddly enough, The Merovingian is an expert on the ap...

*You find the following note tucked into the cover of a book on a shelf in a store in Achan. The book is new and the ink seems quite fresh on the paper. It is not exactly a book, however. More like a pamphlet. But it is bound and covered l...

Chapter 4 He opened his eyes as he stepped through the space in the room which The Effectuator had told him was the portal to The Construct. It hadn't looked like much. In fact, the portal hadn't looked like anything at all. Just a cold po...

Chapter 22 GwailouSaang had caught up with Austrian as he passed through the parking lot outside Club Hel and the conversation that they had shared relaxed Austrian. But only a little. GwailouSaang also seemed to have no problems with Morp...

Chatper 3 Austrian whipped around to see who it was that had spoken to him, bringing his Steyr AUG up to aim at where he believed the newcomer's head would be. As he focused on who it was, he saw that the visitor was The Effectuator, who n...

Chapter 2 "Still able to throw that frag, Ocagire?" Austrian asked, over the roar of submachine gun and rifle fire pouring into the wall before him, referring to the fragmentation grenade that his First Mate still clutched in one hand. It...

Chapter 1 Austrian stood on the right side of the door, waiting. He could hear the Zionite Operatives moving about in the next room, trying to find a way to access the newest portal to one of The Effectuator's Constructs. Austrian normally...

Chapter 21 The welcoming sounds of "Reise Reise" greeted Austrian as he and the Guardians of Chaos entered the main dance hall of Club Hel. The song was a Rammstein hit and, having been programmed by The Machines to believe he was an Austr...

Chapter 20 Austrian remembered how afraid he had been that day. When the Zionite assassins had nearly killed him, he had felt no fear. He had felt only disappointment and regret that he had not made more of himself. But when he had disarme...

Taxi, you took the words out of my mouth =) I better keep it closed, lest it be filled with snow. (Looks around hesitantly)

((Apologies for the long delay in updating this. What with exams and research papers and training exercises, I've had little free time. But with Christmas approaching, I've been blessed with a little bit of an opportunity to write some mor...

Chapter 18 "You're Morpheus, aren't you?" Austrian asked, narrowing his eyes and reaching slowly for a Steyr TMP holstered on his hip and concealed beneath the folds of his sleek black trench coat and equally dark suit jacket. He was glad...

Chapter 17 Flood had called Austrian to tell him that Invalesco had been found as he walked away from the Church of the Disciples, fuming at Christianity and God for reasons his conscious mind could not understand at the moment. The Exile...

Chapter 16 Austrian would have preferred to have done this with back-up but Flood had been insistent that only he was to investigate the Church of the Disciples. His crew could have been useful today as he would no doubt need covering fire...

Chapter 15 Austrian stopped his slow but steady progress down the sidewalk at the sound of the disturbance in the alley a few feet ahead of him. He had been cautiously making his approach to the Church of the Disciples when he had heard th...

Chapter 14 Austrian hesitated at the door to La Vrai. He had never had any qualms with walking into La Vrai and dining at the restaurant during his life as Paul Lipp despite the restaurant's exclusivity and extravagance. But now he felt a...

(( I would like to take this opportunity to thank the community for its support and for artsefart's kind words and encouragement in continuing to produce the story of Austrian. To answer a commonly asked question of me, I chose to leave th...

((It would appear that the one-star bandit has, finally, struck. For those of you who have been actually reading this story and appreciate it, please show your interest by countering this person's incompetence with an amount of stars you d...

Chapter 12 Austrian surged to his feet as the woman smiled over at Zambria, who had now left his cover to stand in the open by the body of the Zion assassin Austrian had shot shortly after his entrance through the window. She would learn t...

Chapter 11 Austrian stopped and looked up at a window on the fifth floor of the apartment complex that loomed over him. This was the place. On the other side of the window which he now stared intently at, was a room where several Zion assa...

Chapter 10 Austrian entered through the front door to the Orchid Public Baths in Kaede. He had been instructed to head there and meet up with a crew loyal to The Merovingian which had been tasked with supporting him on his first ever assig...

Chapter 9 Paul still couldn't quite fully believe it. After he had rebuked GwailouSaang and his crazy story, his host had shown him into a fairly large room that looked like a cross between a medical bay on a nuclear submarine and a high s...

Theme song for the Pluribus Neo: "Neo loves me. Yes, I know. For the Matrix movies tell us so..." Sorry couldn't help myself. I am Austrian, Captain of The Hapsburg on Recursion. I named my ship 'The Hapsburg' after one of the greatest roy...

Chapter 8 The hatch squeaked open again, waking Paul from his awkward slumber sprawled on the chilled metal floor. Paul looked up to see his 'host' standing in the doorway again. "What are you doing on the floor?" the 'international man',...

Paul awoke with a start. Where in the blazes was he? The last thing he could remember was smiling back at Ookami and then... coldness devouring his entire body. It felt like... dying. Had she drugged her? She must have. He still felt woozy...

Chapter 6 (Continued) Just then, a force like the gale of a hurricane slammed into his back and sent him sprawling to the floor, jarring his brain in his skull. He saw Ookami standing over him in a low crouched stance. She had kicked him i...

Chapter 6 Paul was muttering to himself that his stress might not come from his parents but perhaps from the squalor and insanity of MegaCity. The Baroque majesty of Vienna certainly exuded an aura quite unlike the anxiety of this place. T...

Chapter 5 Paul was more than just a little angry when he walked into his dojo that night. He was furious. He almost forgot to bow to the flags hanging over the shrine at the far end of the hall. It was extremely tempting to simply skip tha...

No, however, the topic of introducing swords has been flogged to death previously so I'm sure you'll forgive us, Kobrakai, for not bringing it up. Provide a constructive criticism or go about your business. I agree though that Zui Ba Xian...

Chapter 4 Paul walked into the lobby of the arena, swarming with crowds of departing spectators and competitors alike, and picked his parents out of the throng. He approached them, attempting to hide his nervousness and feign a smile. "Exc...

Chapter 3 The karateka took the bait. The temptation to strike someone who seemed so clearly unguarded was too much for the other man. He swooped in, clearing the space between them in less than the blink of an eye and thrust his rear leg...

Chapter 2 In the earlier elimination rounds of the tournament, Paul Lipp had defeated two opponents, equally simple to defeat: a young and somewhat attractive woman with a passing knowledge of kickboxing, and a hot-headed fool whose rendit...

Chapter 1 Paul Lipp, eldest son of Günther Lipp, one of the wealthiest and most politically powerful businessmen in Mega City, bowed deeply to his opponent who did likewise. Paul supposed that he was a strange sight in this mixed martial a...

Hello all! After posting a little story on Gothique's contest board I began to have, my usual, mental diahrrea. It's a simple fact about me. When I started Team Aust, I wrote up the plot and details of my very first Live Event, to be teste...

Yesssss... soon my precious Earth Scroll, you will be mine at last! Kudos to Clan Darkstar for coming up with an Event that promises to be fun, upholds The Truce (except for that part about murdering innocent Exiles for $info on the 9th) a...

Hehe, any chance I could get in on that action too, Aquatium? (Blushes) Kind of embarrassing, I know, but I'm a lvl 50 still on Arc 2.

It's events like this that make me glad to be a Recursionist first and foremost. Can't wait until Day 6... sweet sweet Tiger Master's Gi with Squad Leader Shirt... Thanks Clan Darkstar!

I hate people who can't spell and yet insult people who are more intelligent than themselves... (shrugs)

A dark figure stood on the top of the Mara’s church. Lightning hit across the sky. Red pills looked up at the dark figure that was on top of the church. The figure wore a black bandana, black dress shoes, black dress pants, black dress shi...
