(Date and coordinates redacted)

It pleases me to report that Cryptos seems to have spent his bag of tricks without causing serious disruption to the Matrix or the Redpill community.

Sporadic fighting between "Cypherites" and other Redpills continues, but at this point, such fights are the equivalent of background noise in the Matrix.

Few new details have emerged. Cryptos continues his rounds of preaching, but the message hasn't changed (nor, apparently, sunk in). Reports that Neo has appeared in the boxes appear to be products of hope rather than observation. Someone is soliciting and gathering stories about Cryptos, in what seems to be the equivalent of "opposition research," gathered by political campaigns to embarrass or disgrace opposition candidates. When this anonymous person will hurl his mud remains unknown. Perhaps he (or she) has decided it isn't necessary.

The General continues to baffle. While his commandos have engaged many Redpills in fights, they have also come to their aid in some cases. At this point we must consider him an unknown quantity, possibly playing both sides of the fence (or all three, to demolish a metaphor).

Agents have been asking about the stolen valise of elixirs from Kalt Chemical. If it is possible to read Agents in this way, I would say they are greatly alarmed. It would be best if this valise came into Zion 's possession at the earliest opportunity.

My inquiries continue, and I await your instructions.
