 		collector = merovingian?
Quote:
Good day, friends.
I have recently been informed that your species
interpersonal communications, like those of mine, should begin with a degree of bootstrapping. In that regard, I hope you are not ill and that the weather systems in your current geographical location are to your satisfaction. I believe these enquiries are generally held to be an appropriate preamble.
For my own part, I harbor no desire to harm you. Regrettably, there exist others who do
monitors, agents and sundry other system processes. They, of course, bear you no ill-will; rather you are the antithesis of that which they are tasked with protecting. Your continued existence would be in contestation at all times.
To explain it in terms you might be more familiar with, you and your associates are bugs in the system. Members of your cooperative have disrupted its nature, and are capable of disseminating this information to the rest of your kind. This, to them, is an intolerable situation. As such, you will not be allowed to remain in your current state.
As you can see, the system allows no possibility of reconciliation
you and your associates will be pursued until the end of your natural life, or until you are deleted and recycled.
I have been tasked to discover a resolution to your predicament
a third way, if you will. My offer is an alternative which has not been considered by the system as they do not believe it is possible for your species to accomplish, which is precisely why it will not fail. It will succeed because it has been overlooked; I myself only realized that such a course of action was possible after performing a lengthy series of experiments.
My proposition is this: I will create a stable, internally consistent version space
a pocket of parallel existence which, although it will obey the same rules, will have no connection to the rest of the simulation. When one enters this space, one is no longer in the simulation.
You and your associates will enter this version space, removing yourselves from the simulation. When your signal is no longer detected, the associated search processes will be terminated.
I will also provide for you a translation program, which will allow you to pass between the version space and the simulation. Upon returning to the simulation you will notice that the translation program does not fully register your shell with the system renderers; this will leave you intangible and, with luck, impervious to all physical harm. You will, regrettably, be unable to interact with the simulation to the degree to which you have become accustomed, but I trust you will come to view this as a necessary precaution. Be aware that if you stay away from the version space for too long the system will register your presence, and the search processes will be restarted.
Yours,
Collector


this sounds an awful lot like the merovingian from reloaded and revolutions... notice how the collector says that he will make a place between the version space and the simulation (obviously he's talking about the matrix in regards to the 'simulation')... i dunno about you guys, but this sounds like the train station from revolutions. the translation program also sounds like the train and the train conductor... or am i just overtired?

That's an interesting observation, and although I don't subscribe to the possibility of AI Man being the Merovingian, your comment about the train station does sound plausible.

It was sneakily attached by GC to the end of one of the TO-NIGHT .jpg files; see here: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=30571#30571

 		the trainman built the train station, not the merovingian, merv is the program savior/antichrist(false christ, since neo is their true savior, hence club hell and red attire), like the line of french who believed in the merovingian to have descended from jesus or something.

 		dont shoot the messenger smarty pants, your friend wants to think its the merovingian but he must first realize that the person who created the space between this world and the other one was the trainman. hope you enjoyed watching it at crown theaters or amc barrington.

Point? Difference?
I believe there to be none. The train man works for Mr. sassy pants frenchman, so what does it matter?

And I think it's "our" friend. Don't you agree Truth and Love? Laughing

What?
Just what are you talking about? No wait, don't answer, I don't think I can take anymore of your nonsense. We're trying to solve a puzzle here.

Sorry but, consider yourself invisible to me. Confused

Everyone should just chill a bit. See the Wongmo. Be the Wongmo.
