the matrix - What happened to Agents Brown and Jones?


Agents Brown and Jones from The Matrix were replaced by upgraded Agents Johnson, Thompson, and Jackson by the time of The Matrix Reloaded. But what happened to them?


In The Matrix Reloaded the Oracle explains that when a program faces deletion (due to replacement by an upgraded program, for example) the program can choose either to return to the Source for deletion or go into exile.


Many of the exiled programs seen in The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions are programs that performed similar functions as the Agents in previous versions of the Matrix -- we see vampires, werewolves, and ghosts (e.g. the Twins) from the Nightmare Matrix and possibly angels from the Paradise Matrix (the guards at Club Hel can "fly"). Presumably, therefore, it is common for security-type programs like Agents to choose exile over deletion, so that would be my guess.


Is there a canonical source which provides any clues as to the fate of Agents Brown and Jones?




Answer



Agents Brown and Jones continued to work for the Machines at least until the events of The Matrix Online. They were not deleted, they were not in exile, and they were not upgraded and turned into Agent Johnson, Thompson, or Jackson.


Sources: According to Wikipedia, Agents Brown and Jones appeared from time to time in The Matrix Online. Additionally, an independent source in a forum post mentions Agent Brown questioning players in The Matrix Online (full thread here). Unfortunately, there do not appear to be any publicly available videos or screenshots of Agent Brown or Jones in The Matrix Online.


Credit goes to user Richard for the tip in the comments about their appearance in The Matrix Online.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

game of thrones - Is Syrio Forel dead?

In the episode 'The Pointy End' (Season 1 Episode 8) when Arya runs from the Lannister guards you hear the sound of a sword being dropped (around 4:56): [embedded content] After that neither Syrio or Ser Meryn Trant is never mentioned or seen in the show again, except when Arya mentions to the Hound that Ser Meryn Trant killed Syrio. Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...
