The Walrus is away…

There hasn't been a whole lot going on in The Matrix and part of that is Walrus being away from the office. He'll be back – he's not leaving MxO or anything like that so please refrain from the conspiracy theories that I know you're already concocting.

When the Tusked one gets back into the office I hope to get some additional dev goodies since I know everyone wants to hear about what's going on in development.

The Folding Bug…<

I've gotten the Folding bug, as has many others in the community. Folding is a distributed computing thing that gets data, crunches it, and spits back usable information in the name of Science. There's more to it than that but it's sort of a long bit of details that's not all that easy to explain in detail.

Team MxO has been around for a bit of time and you can read a bit more on the topic in this thread.

Story Summary, Chapter 7.2.4 (5/10-5/16) by Rarebit<

The Cypherites fought against EPN Code Pulse deployment attempts that ultimately resulted in a local server crash.

Zion searched for Sati with the Oracle, retrieving a message she had given to one of the General's commandos, and finally finding and rescuing her on a computer disk from a group of decoy clones.

E Pluribus Neo searched the city for data, tracking the Morpheus hovercraft beacon signal broadcasts to their source...inside the Matrix. Because true hovercraft beacons must originate in the Real, this finding gave rise to serious doubts about the broadcasts. The Machines hunted for the Apothecary, but she escaped through the General's network. The Machines struck back by using data found in the battle at the General's base on the Earth's surface to locate his base of operations in the Matrix, in the complex guarded by Project Nine, beneath the Abandoned Subway. Machine operatives raided the base and deleted all hostile programs found. Agent Pace told the Architect that she had an idea of how to approach the suspicious Cypherites.

The Merovingian sacrificed many of the General's commandos to protect the Apothecary from the Machines until she could finish her work on the kill-code to kill the Oracle. The Apothecary, frustrated with the constant attacks, demanded transport out of the Matrix as soon as her work was complete.

The Merovingian gave her a commando guard detail and sent her on her way, supposedly to meet the Trainman, while in fact sending his operatives to kill her, and tipping off the Machines to her location. Her commando guards killed, the Apothecary fled on foot, only to be hunted down and killed by hostile operatives in a dark alley in Westview.

Until next week,
