##Establishing Secure Communications Link Please Wait....## .. ... .... ##Secure Link Established## //Incoming Transmission// //Transmission: Story Summary// //ID: MXO chapter 11.1.5 Story Summary // ##Connection Established## Zion tracked the variable-signal program stealing from Wright Research to a hidden lab, where they found a highly sophisticated network device built partly from the stolen equipment. By accessing a computer in the lab, they were able to shut down the "spider" thief program, which had been able to penetrate Wright security using Wright access codes, and the likenesses of Wright employees.
The Machines froze the assets of the Ouroboros Corporation, notifying its staff of the federal takeover. Large-scale confiscation of Ouroboros data led to a single computer at an Ouroboros office, found to have a connection to the Oligarch network.
A series of program terminations found its way to the Merovingian, manifesting in the person of Carlyne, an Oligarch who had departed the Matrix months ago after helping knock off his rival, Halborn. Carlyne demanded that the Frenchman give him the biological interface program, and then, to everyone's surprise, fell to the ground inert as a wireframed female appeared beside him. She coolly asked that the program be turned over to her. Thinking quickly, the Merovingian directed his operative to flush the program into the simulation at large, and then fled the scene.
Silver was found by operatives, making his way--via a simulacrum--through a residential area in Camon Heights. The operatives surprised him by mentioning that Carlyne had been killed by the female intruder, but he took this as all the more reason to stay away from anything to do with the interface program.

A spying Malphas, and some operatives monitoring from a ledge outside, noticed the female intruder inside Wright Research's Vauxton headquarters. When a Wright security guard came across her, she addressed him familiarly, telling him that she was deleting the last of her files. After some prompting, the stunned guard recognized her as Danielle Wright, brilliant inventor, ex-Zionite, and founder of the company, who had been thought killed by the Machines shortly after the end of the Truce.

Ookami gathered a team of operatives to find something tickling her senses in Ashencourte: a Taskmaster robot, normally found only in the Zero One archive construct. Venturing there, the Merovingians found scores of robot bodies piled in the dusty wasteland. Ookami, thinking she sensed something she could not identify, became irritable and departed.

Operatives escorted Persephone to the White Lotus hotel, where she asked them to fetch the Black Widow, denizen of the hotel's labyrinthine basement. The Widow was pleased that the Merovingian's wife had finally returned an invitation made long ago (Past event info here.), but Persephone shocked her former associate by asking if she could kill her. The Widow refused to think of such a thing, and Persephone left, saying it had been nothing more than a passing fancy. See the Live Event Thread here.
Agent Griffin distributed tranquilizer pistols to a team of operatives and proceeded with them into Wright Research's headquarters, where they swiftly disabled the company's technicians while Griffin searched one of the computers. Griffin indicated that files from Danielle Wright had indeed been deleted, but cautioned operatives against taking less reliable sources of information at face value. See the Live Event Thread here.
