Choice and Consequence: In Summary
With the introduction of the charismatic crew of the Novalis II, players of The Matrix Online were given the opportunity to learn how they might shape the future of the game on their server.
To recap the event for those who might have missed it:
The highly talented but extremely green Zionite operative Neurophyte was sent on a routine mission to investigate some strange energy fluctuations in a Machine-controlled area in the Real. The mission soon become much more than routine, however, as she happened upon some extremely sensitive information relating to the Red-Eyed Agents. Neurophyte, unable to contact her crew from her location, jacked recklessly into the Matrix from a rudimentary port she discovered in the area in an attempt to transmit her findings quickly.
Unfortunately the port Neurophyte utilized was extremely old and unstable, and had not been upgraded with the new emergency jack-out protocols. Somehow in the transition the information she had recovered intermingled itself with her RSI, causing a malformation of her integral code - and what was more, she could not jack out again. In pain and gradually feeling herself deteriorate, Neurophyte desperately attempted contact with other operatives, hoping that someone would understand her garbled communications and find her.
Eventually, some valiant operatives managed to decipher what was going on, found her and reported what was occurring to their representative Organization. Organizational leaders determined their possible options under the circumstances, and then put Neurophyte's fate to a vote.
