my last one unless i stumble upon other things... i was checking what 'it' could be.. so i checked metadex under beth and phillip to see if they discussed getting something..

i see that phillip asks for an ETA w/ the others ... i .e. when they/d meet? be on?

but other than that.. all signs would point that phillip and beth HAVE NOT been 'unplugged'.... so if we're too assume ALSO contains 'little boxes', then we're to assume that everyone in this hacker meeting has not been unplugged?

i'm sure i'll have more soon.

Does anyone see a similarity of the name mello and MLO? just curious...


And this is why there are so many posts (says him making things worse)

Before you ask here, ask the search engine it's probably quicker than typing the post.

BTW there are three matches incuding your own post.

hate to throw the fanboy element into this, but doesn't a bunch of still-plugged-in people conspiring to uncover the nature of the matrix jive with the story we've heard about these characters and what all unplugged characters were up to before being unplugged (e.g. Trinity's tracks in Detective Story, Neo at the computer at the start of M1, etc.)? They were seeking out the nature of the matrix. It sounds like Beth and others are stringing together the apocalypse stories and paranormal activity had their teasers out to attract others but that they have a whole operations side of hackers out against their matrix world manifestations of the matrix admin (Metacortex, etc.), which was made out to be much like Microsoft.

Now that I read that, maybe I'm saying nothing new. The assumption is that those logged in include Beth, etc. If they have these clandestine means, why would she bother communicating with her routine email about the missing man (Avery), when she could communicate under cover?

MLO is 100% not Mello. if im wrong may i die tomorrow. mello talks like a 14 yr old keaunu reaves and MLO is a manager at a software company... furthermore, i dont think ANYONE we're 'friends' w/ at metacortex are part of this hacker gang. doesnt it seem like all these people are unplugged?
beth and phillip are definitely not unplugged... they find so many things wrong w/ the world that would easily be explained if you knew its the matrix...

seems to me like the hackers meeting up are definitely unplugged.

also to clear up my above statement, its fairly obvious to me that in pgairdens message at metadex to beth he's asking the ETA for her other files that she had lost.

alright Dyslxic3, i kind of concede... although im open to both possibilities, it seems highly probable that this hacker gang is a group of people trying to figure out whats up.... but then what are they meeting up to attack? perhaps Caesar is unplugged....

lets say for instance... James Avery happened to be anomaly 0 and so he gets pulled out... we have our Caesar.... then he picks his 14 females and 7 males or whatnot... could this hacker thing be a recruiting program??? only the smartest can figure out the clues and thus reach the summit and become unplugged???

BTW. Trinity was a hacker, she cracked the IRS Dbase (M1)

The best theory I can come up with is that her interest in the unusual began before all this began. One would assume that the powers that be that monitor such stuff would be aware of this interest (As they were with Mr Anderson).

Once she became embroiled in this covert operation, for her to suddenly stop investigating things would be suspicious. The same goes for Philip at his rag.

If the bad guys are as powerful as the hackers suspect, then they are likely to be monitoring e-mail too, which could be whi the e-mails themselves are quite cryptic.

While they're snoopping through her e-mail, she can be hiding stuff on here.

Hey, that's a nice idea. Well done.

Whoever solves this gets to go to Zion.

Pack your bags Statik you're going on a trip. Very Happy

Re: Overall Game Scenario

Griffin_Mill wrote:
I get the sense that this game takes place in the present, and by that, I mean before the matrix, before AI, before the rise of the machines. This seems to be a terrific backstory about how it all began -- A large corporation invents "metaVRX," a comprehensive software that immerses you into VR like never before, i.e., a precursor of the matrix. This story is about a group of rebels who are fighting against something they know is evil, and perhaps trying to rescue those who have already paid for their knowledge, or opposition to the corporate plan. Perhaps they are also trying to discover a cover up (doesn't an underwater hotel sound a bit far fetched and who is the mysterious investor?). Anyway, taking fiction as fact, it eventually all goes awry and the machines use this technology to enslave us all. So there you go. Just for fun.


<off topic>, but... who says they are really evil, they are only evil thru the eyes of the people in zion, the people in the matrix aren't hurting, and it was the humans who started the war. so... humans are evil! Smile </offtopic>

griffinmill, i had thought that at one time too in the haze of all this info at once.... but that makes no sense considering the Cascade Vortex, the floating cat, the backwards fish, the 'grids' for hikers... etc. we are definitely in the matrix.[/url]

in reply to ecwilder

No, my argument's got holes, too.

In the 2nd movie, Niobe *calls* Link when she gets close. She doesn't enter the Matrix, then communicate. Though everyone meets face to face in the tunnels at the beginning of M2, it's not so way out that they'd interface by computer. Heck, maybe it prevent's having to jack in and place themselves at risk (by hacking in from an operator's chair). But there's 1) not good evidence that those obviously plugged in (Beth) are part of this "baker's dozen and then some" and 2) that they know whether the matrix exists or not. I fully accept any obvious evidence to the contrary I've missed. Trout away and end the torture.

Determining their objective is important. But if we're waiting until the 10th, you've got to wonder how they'll past the next 2 days of time. We got thrown a *load* of clues today. Maybe so we stopped dwelling on minutiae. The Dogma-luncheon thing is killing me. Most anagram engines don't narrow long phrases too well to a reasonable list of choices. Anyone have a good anagram program for that message?

and my 'avery being the one' theory.... i dunno where to stand on it ONLY because of 'andersonthomas' being no longer an employee at metacortex.... does that situate us in the timeline? shouldnt it?

Yeah it fits with the cyclic theme.

Since the world in side the matrix is a recreation of an actual history...

We are in the matrix, set at the time when the matrix was first been developed.

Brings a whole new twist to the "Matrix within a Matrix" Theory

13th Floor? are we the first 'reload' of the matrix to 'load' a matrix?
