Morpheus is Dead

MTV Games is reporting that the latest live event in the Matrix Online has permenantly changed the topology of The Matrix: Morpheus is dead. From the article: "Morpheus' demise was not without controversy. In the days leading up to it, the developers' live team, who orchestrate the game's big monthly story-advancing moments, carried out a Wachowski-Chadwick plot that had Morpheus, in the words of some users, 'turning terrorist.' According to storyline, Morpheus wanted to reclaim the body of the fallen Neo, which was being held by the Matrix's machine overlords. Morpheus tried to pressure cooperation by planting bombs throughout the Matrix infrastructure."

    When I read the headline, I went "Duh. Morpheus died because Lyta Hall swore vengeance upon him after the Maiden-Mother-Crone Triple Goddess led her to believe that he took her son Daniel away from her. And after Morpheus's death, the dream-child Daniel transformed into the new manifestation of the Dream King."

    And then I realized it was about the Matrix.
