USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 FOURTH ASSIGNMENT (PHILOSOPHY)- 'The Door'

Not quite right on how it infects, though.

Lo Qi tells you the virus actually infects the body physically, its creator having worked on the principle of there being a link between your virtual image and your real world body.

That's why it is useless on Machines- they have no real world body to infect.

You guys feel ill because your phyiscal bodies ARE ill, and one is now reinforcing the other.

Okay! I made an edit or two, I can run those over myself.

Please feel free to do so in their thread. Just edited myself.

Isn't it that the mind is forced to believe that the physical body is sick, and so it becomes infected?

Your mind makes it real, and all that...

Berserker will pick up his knives.

No, that's definitely not what it is. It's not in your Mind and therefore real. It actually IS real. it makes use of the link, but what it targets is your biological body. It uses the Matrix, and your signal linking to it, as a carrying mechanism. You've literally broadcast sickness into your bodies.

Ah, my bad.

That would require yet another great feat of programming skills, yes? Sounds like Sennacherib had to work extra hard on this...

It's certainly unique.

Mors, on the line, wishes to know your status and your plan.

Sirin will tell him that the Oracle left them the key to the cell, and they retrieved their phones and guns. It's only a matter of time until someone comes to apprehend them...

She wants to hear if Dallas has any orders for them, but it seems we're paying Sennacherib a visit.

Well, I would also like to tell them that Lo Qi has planned this all with Jericho- he believes that Matrix has to be destroyed because it stops the human and Machine societies from advancing.

Sirin will relay that to Mors as well, that the release of the Virus was all masterminded by Lo Qi and Jericho for the purpose of destroying the Matrix to allow the continuation of the evolutionary process.

Ok, though that's about all they get of it.

Ok, folks, what's the plan?

Sirin will bid her farewells to Mors and Dallas, assuming they have no more to say, and hang up.

Sirin proposes that they leave the Monastery through the front way, bounding their way down the steps that we killed the SWAT on earlier and head for the Fortress.

We could always steal Jericho's vehicle that he used to pick us up, but there's great risk involved with that, and we don't know if it's still there.

That's what Operators are for. Ariadne or Finn could check on that for us.

I suggest calling back and having them locate Lo Qi and Jericho, if they can, as well as the location of that all-terrain vehicle.

Otherwise, I agree with a straight dash down the stairs.

You guys really can't cope, either health or time wise, with walking to the Fortress.

Though the vehicle seems to be where you left it.

Perfect! Most likely we'll need to download hotwiring skills...

Who has the best Drive skill?

Fix-It to hotwire.

Klez can do the hotwiring. Heph should drive.

All looks good... and you guys are on your way!

As we leave, does it seem that monks have abandomed the monastery?
