Possible Story Ideas

[Neoteny]

The other thing I can think of that would make the Oligarchs "go away," but still remain a possibility would be if they were to get their hands on the BIP. At this point, the BIP isn't really all that important a tool to us in writing the story, and if the Oligarchs get it, they seem likeliest to go their own way and get out of the Matrix and the non-zoned parts of the Real, effectively writing them out and writing out the BIP. That may even be the simplest solution out there.

Well that was meant to happen next subchapter. It was going to end with Tesarova tricking The Merovingian into helping her get ahold of the BIP while Helian played the Machines to the same goal. Basically, they pretended to be in competition then screwed over both parties, leaving with the BIP.

If I remember correctly there was a filler subchapter that followed (something akin to the filler following the shortcut Unlimit storyline) and it was upon their return in actual human bodies that trouble really started up again. This is when the Trinity Killcode came into play (The Oracle had to wait until the Oligarchs were using the program for the killcode to work) to kill Helian/Tesarova. It was in response to this minor victory that the main Oligarch force invaded The Matrix for the final events.

So we could extend that filler out, or increase the significane of the killcode event or whatever.

Why not just axe the whole killcode thing and let them leave all hippy-skippy? It ties up some loose ends fairly well, leaves them with room to return, and takes the BIP out of our hair until we're ready to reintroduce it - if we're ever ready to reintroduce it - if we ever need to introduce it.

At this point, I suppose I should mention that I'm far from a proponent of following Rarebit's notes to the letter. They're simply notes on what could have been. The two matrices, golden hallways thing... I hated that. It was pure fanservice aimed at getting us back to ground zero (i.e. the truce) which isn't the best ground to be on. Given the opportunity to have things unfold and be more interesting, I say we take that opportunity rather than pay homage to some notes.
