Take a look at p. 255 of the BBB and tell me that's not Morpheus wheeling and dealing ;).

The Big Black Book, i.e. Shadowrun 3rd Edition rulebook. Just came across the picture while I was leafing through it (so bored).

BBB = "Big Black Book" , slang for SR3 (or any main book)

I thought it was amusing when I saw it.
...Think Mr. Darke would be Agent Smith?... ...Who would Deus be?... |

Same thing I was thinking, actually.
...The Squiddies could be special drones, and I think many of the Matrix hovercrafts are reproducable using R3... |

Think Niobe would be a rigger and Ghost a weapons specialist? :cyber:

Everyone would be a sort of cross between a decker and an adept. Except the operators, they would be riggers.

I still say Niobe would be a rigger, too. She's the pilot for the Logos, after all.
EDIT: And a damn good one, at that. :P |

Except none of them have Vehicle Control Rigs, hence they aren't Riggers, they are just people with good vehicle skills.

Actually, I'd say that everyone who was born inside the Matrix probably has a VCR pre-installed. At the least they have very high--rating simsense rigs implanted; no way are they working purely off of ASIST.

I still say Niobe was more the Adept/Decker type. Her drive skill was just astronomical. She was the captain and I assume they have to start somewhere, so maybe she was an operator before she got her command.
Know what? I'm going to stop thinking about The Matrix before I remember how much the last one sucked balls and get all pissed off again. Tootles! |

Despite the quote, a plea to everyone else. Don't encourage any more of his Matrix theories! Especially not the crossovers... I'm sure you remember what I did to the last Agent you brought into a roleplay, Phaeton... |

Wait, what? That wasn't even in SR.
I corrupted him and destroyed the Matrix. And you were pwned. |

Screw the Matrix! What a hype hogging piece of shite.
<Scene> Neo just woke up/was released by the agents. His phone rings. He answers, he hears a voice, it's Morpheus (enemy #1, the most hunted "terrorist" in the Matrix, they can't catch this guy, he's a cyber ninja.) <Morpheus> I must be brief, this line is tapped... <paraphrased for amusement> <Morpheus> Boy I can't believe they let you go! Holy crap you're so lucky! If they knew how important you were they would have NEVER let you go! Did I mention this line was tapped? Sooooo, still wanna meet with me? Uh uh... ya how's the corner of Dufus and Dipshit, under the bridge? Hey did I mention the thing about the line tapping? So woud 30 minutes be good for you? Fantastic! I should really go now, you know... with the line being tapped and all, see you under the bridge!! How the blarg is this guy still free? Sunday. |

Wow... that never occurred to me before. Now i'm even MORE pissed!
The last one was the worst. The Architect: (paraphrased) Yeah, so, that rogue Agent Smith guy is going to destroy us machines and that totally sux0rz. What's that Neo? You'll destroy Agent Smith for us? Kewl! What's that you want in return? You want us to let all the humans go, thereby losing us our only power source and effectively destroying us anyway? So our choice is destruction or destruction? You know, the more i think about this plan, the more I LOVE IT! OMG R0X0RZ LOL! Where do I sign? |

Yeah, or, um, this.
Not to mention the Train Man, whom I suspect exists solely because the writers wrote themselves into a hole in movie 2 and didn't know how to get out. There's also the question of how Zion manages to power itself, as it doesn't have an Unconscious Collective to act as its power station, and... |

Also, if it's that easy to break that cloud cover above the Earth, would not a form of SOLAR ENERGY work better and be more efficient?
