It isn't just about the war anymore. Maybe it used to be, but something happened. The truce? Maybe. Or maybe that was just when it started.

It isn't just about the war anymore. Maybe it used to be, but something happened. The truce? Maybe. Or maybe that was just when it started.
Death--a booming business these days. The problem with finding a culprit is that there are a lot of people out there who stood to profit by it.
Nothing on Ramin's ship. If Halborn really was looking for a way into New Zion...
Her closest associates and contacts have vanished. Her apartment is empty. She's always told people to make up their own minds: instructed independence. I wonder if she's finally grown tired of repeating it. The other way to get people to...
Such a violent response to an attempt at conversation doesn't jibe with the nonchalance he's tried to show in the past. He's claimed he could handle the Machines--and he's made some convincing demonstrations of that--but something's got hi...
Rumor calls him the future, but he's digging in the past. The questions he asks: Neo, Trinity; what can they mean to him?
He may be interested in Zion, but somehow I don't think it's because he wants to enlist.
I know it isn't easy painting a target on your forehead just to try to take some heat off your fellow operatives, so I'd like to thank everyone who helped draw fire in Tabor West. Thanks to you, Fenshire, RedBindi, Deffdog, and Suezuki wer...
They asked me how we're doing getting everything out of the old city. I wish I had a better answer. The old mainframe is turning out to be an even more colossal job than anyone imagined, Sentinels are putting more pressure on our freighter...
Good work on that extraction, Troopers. As far as we've been able to tell, Roger's entirely legit. One more for the cause. -Ghost
That's another spy accounted for--but probably not the last, and the code's still out there. We don't have much time.
It's an odd thing, to see a dead man walk and talk. It isn't him. I know that. It doesn't stand the way he did--doesn't have the presence he did. But there's something about the way it talks... Maybe it's the voice. I don't know. Whoever m...
The Matrix needs a reset. That's what the One was supposed to do--part of the intended cycle--but Neo gave them the finger. Now we have to live with the consequences: instability, code artifacts, systemic errors, random anomalies, old data...
Seems like Seraph's got a lock on commandos, if not on Sati herself. If the General was smart, he'd give her up now and go into hiding, like he did before. Then again, if he was smart he wouldn't have come back in the first place. It's fun...
Getting the Trainman back gives the Merv direct access to programs from the Machine mainframes. The only time that's been good news for us was when he brought Sati here, and even that cost the Oracle her old shell.
"Free your mind," Morpheus always told his recruits. Apparently, that's just the beginning of the fight.
Very few Exile programs can move things back and forth between the real world and the Matrix. The General can, and he's making the most of it. It's been causing us problems, but it also doesn't seem to be going as successfully as he would...
The General is still playing games. What I don't understand is how this helps him achieve whatever goal has led him to kidnap Sati. They say that he simply wants to start a war, or bring the System down...but I can't help feel that he gets...
It's been nagging at me ever since EPN revealed code echoes of Morpheus' captain's beacon. The Nabonidus, Anome, Sati, The General, The Oracle, Zion mainframe access, cheat codes, Seraph, Cypherite spies... So many things keep coming up, a...
There he is, floating above our heads, glowing. I wonder if he ever really slept that peacefully. Down below that serene brow, things are getting complicated. The Machines are being "reasonable." I preferred it when they shot first. Or did...
Liaison officer Concent led operatives Catzi, Verq, MindsweepX, Xintax88, and Tenshi916 to the Pendhurst-Amaranth head branch office on a mission to get information regarding Brenda Utley's disappearance. We learned recently that some kind...
Reactors caused trouble in the International District, trying to get through a Merovingian construct firewall. Someone in Unlimit might not be pleased about the Mervs capturing Beirn. Can't say that I am, either. Will they get anything use...
There's something going on, but it seems that we aren't meant to know what it is yet. I just hope they know what they're doing.
Something's up. Anome's making a move--south, into Westview and Richland. Attacking warehouses... Careful, Anome; you might step in a mouse trap. But what cheese is he after?
Niobe's good at a lot of things, but taking it easy isn't one of them. She's still not back at full strength, but she's insisting on making public appearances. She puts up a good front, but she can't even get out of the seat by herself aft...
She's going to be the death of me. Just a few days after she's out of Anome's prison, and she wanted to go face about fifty of the top Mervs. "To thank them," she said. "No *CENSORED* way," I told her. "You can barely walk, let alone take...
Niobe is back in Zion. It took a lot of hard work over these past weeks from our operatives, and from operatives working for the Merovingian, who decided to help us for reasons of his own. His man, the Effectuator, while sometimes maddenin...
They're stepping up their attacks now: going after specific targets, trying to prevent us from finding wherever they're holding Niobe. Hitting these network hubs has slowed us down, but they can't--they won't--stop us. I'll give them this,...
Anome's sickness is spreading. These code-dripping bastards plaguing the city are merely an extension, a multiplication, of his own insane lust for power. But there seems to be something beyond even that. He's achieved the power, now; in w...
On Friday, our sources tracking Anome's fugitive group discovered a plan involving the infiltration of business networks across the city, possibly in order to implant a virus that could have destroyed the city's data infrastructure. The in...
// Operation update: Anome // Contents Classified We're still working around the clock to identify and track the people working with Anome. Our sniffers got wind of an access on a computer terminal that seemed to have been from some of his...
Those who truly deserve power do not seek it out. As a result, those who do not deserve it too often get it first. Anome, even with the power he is supposed to possess now, dares not confront the consequences of the choice he's made; he's...
A lot can change in a day. A few days ago, my problem was how to get our officer, Seraneth, back from the Merovingian. Then Ueno happened. And suddenly there was another problem for all of us. With Niobe gone, what really mattered? Seranet...
Vibb joins Seraneth in liaison service. Appropriately enough, his first task is helping to rescue his fellow liaison. - Ghost Archived image unavailable: vibb002.jpg Vibb "Good day Soldiers of Zion. I'm not sure how the rest of you feel, b...
The new liaison, Soluma, threw an introduction party for herself down in Rawlins Corner. It was a good opportunity to meet some of our operatives in a more relaxed setting. The Mervs kept our guards upstairs on their toes, but they weren't...
I like to think that somewhere there's a group of people for whom things go smoothly most of the time. Call it a desire for karmic balance. For us, things tend to get complicated. Normally, a data drop from an undercover operative is a mat...
Soluma joins Alsos in carrying out liaison duties for us. She brings a creative mind and great depth of experience to her role. If you see her, you would do well to heed her advice. :: Ghost Archived image unavailable: soluma01.jpg Soluma...
We have another officer joining Merrit for Liaison duties. His name is Cephaus. Over time, you'll come to know him, and count on him, like we do. We can never have too many good men. :: Ghost Cephaus Archived image unavailable: cephaus1.pn...
A certain Merovingian operative, name of Tseng, sent us some images he captured at the award ceremony--of me and Seraph, and Seraph's duel afterwards. Come to think of it, I saw Tseng at the ceremony, skulking around the stairway--he even...
I hate crowds. I wouldn't have gone anywhere near this thing, but I guess someone pulled some strings, because it takes some kind of pull to get the Zion Council to call in a senior operative--me--to go give face time at a party. Okay, awa...
