##Establishing Secure Communications Link Please Wait....## .. ... .... ##Secure Link Established## //Incoming Transmission// //Transmission: Story Summary// //ID: MXO chapter 11.2.1 Story Summary // ##Connection Established## The E Pluribus Neo expedition to the Machine no-fly zone reached the outskirts of the area, but found heavy Sentinel patrols around the zone's perimeter. The Kid left old Zion, heading to the zone with reinforcements for the expedition.
Zion found that the device they'd recovered from the thief stealing from Wright Research was tracking the biological interface program.
The Machines confirmed the identity of the female intruder as the ex-Zionite researcher Danielle Wright, thought to have been killed by Sentinels shortly after the end of the Truce. Agent Gray was uncertain how Wright could still be alive, but confirmed that she is not a member of the "Oligarchy," and the old termination order for her remains in effect. Operatives sent to execute the order found that it would be no simple matter, as Wright seemed to have full command of Oligarch simulation override codes.
Merovingian operatives encountered a cascading series of glitches centered on the white hallway connection to the Merovingian's chateau construct. Malphas said that the source appeared to have been internal, but undetectable, which suggested that it might have been the interface program.
Zion followed a series of coordinates given out by the device they'd found with the strange Wright Research thief, encountering override activity, and then Danielle Wright herself. Wright removed the overrides the Zionites had found, and departed. When Zion regrouped at the device, Wright suddenly reappeared, destroying the device, which she claimed as her own work. See the Live Event Thread here.
Cypherites located Danielle Wright and scanned for her broadcast signal, but to their surprise, they found no trace of a connection at all. See the Live Event Thread here.
Machine operatives snuck into an EPN meeting attended by the ex-Machinist and recent EPN convert, Dislodge, hoping to obtain intelligence on the E Pluribus Neo expeditionary force that has advanced to the no-fly zone. Dislodge, realizing that something was amiss, made a break for it, but was forced to reconstruct by Machine operatives guarding the exits. See the Live Event Thread here.
Merovingian operatives searching the chateau for the source of disruptions there encountered a training simulacrum, behaving slightly irregularly. The simulacrum engaged the operatives in combat, but eventually stopped fighting, looked around, said "where," and fell inert. Operatives concluded that the simulacrum had been controlled by the interface program. Flood was skeptical. See the Live Event Thread here.
Cryptos summoned Cypherite operatives to the rescue of a Cypherite team that had been ambushed downtown. Veil, arriving at the ambush site on her own, found a Pluribus Neo operative there, along with the remains of the Cypherite team, and an override program. She took some time in relaying this information to Cryptos, who quickly had a search run for EPN activity in the area, leading to a facility where EPN was trying to decompile the data they had captured from the Cypherites, having to do with Cryptos' research into formulating a counter-agent to override codes. The Cypherites eliminated the EPN operatives and recaptured the data. See the Live Event Thread here.
