Matrix Online: Chapter 5.1: Betrayal
Matrix Online: Chapter 5.3: System Shock
Anome's followers, now calling themselves Unlimit, begin partaking of the cheat codes, gaining incredible powers (such as projecting energy from their eyes) and begin wrecking havoc in the city. Meanwhile, Niobe clings to life in the construct.
The Effectuator enlists help from Zion operatives. Anome's people are making it difficult for him to pin down Niobe's location, and the Effectuator needs Zion operatives to go to several network locations to stop Anome's men. Zion operatives engage Anome's men, but they are now different. They are stronger than previously, and their eyes constantly drip green Matrix code. Eventually, the Effectuator hits upon a potential solution, requiring Zion operatives to repair several hardline junctions. Zion operatives are able to do so (despite Unlimit's interference), and this proves critical in rescuing Niobe.
Unlimit's attacks draws the attention of the Machines, who begin to assess Unlimit's threat to the system. Machine operatives investigations reveal that not all of Anome's followers ingested the cheat codes. They also discover that Anome appears to have compiled weaker, diluted versions of the cheat codes and passed them on to other Unlimit. Finally, it appears that the cheat codes have corrupted the user's RSI, so that they are unable to jack out of the Matrix. Later, Machine operatives are tracking an Unlimit within the Matrix while Sentinels in the Real target and destroy their hovercraft. Machine operatives are shocked to find that, thanks to the vials, Unlimits can continue to exist within the Matrix after their bodies have been destroyed.
