After a whole month of no more posts until now (I did have free time but my latest university assignments have chewed right through it), the full image of this came to me yesterday in what's akin to a divine revelation.

Guess who's doing rewatches again? It's me, and well, not entirely a rewatch:

Yes, that's right, it's Enter the Matrix. Because it's criminal that for a blog named for the little ship that could, I've haven't actually done a deep dive on the game itself! So I'm going to fix that!

I'm also going to play through as both Niobe and Ghost, as depending on who you're playing, the missions play out slightly different, and the cutscene dialogue varies as well. Also, not going to do like a blow by blow kinda thing. Only going to comment on things that caught my interest, or seem rather amusing to me. If you want a little more context, I suggest checking out the couple of playthroughs/cut scene compilations on youtube.

Also of note, the game picks up right after the Animatrix short Final Flight of the Osiris.

Anyway, let's get to it!

AND IT'S THE MAIN REASON I'M STILL HERE, BECAUSE OF THIS PESSIMISTIC SNARKY COWARD RIGHT HERE. And he's self aware about it as well.

Also interesting to note is that according to this cutscene, Sparks has been operating on board the Logos for 3 years. Now, a standard US navy tour of duty (and I'm going with Navy rather than Army as Zion's army is referred to as a Navy fleet) is between 2-3 years. Not really going anywhere with this, but it's interesting to note.

Niobe is a 'my way or the highway' kinda person. No wonder it didn't work between her and Morpheus. It's also telling that Ghost has known Niobe for long enough to know that this is what she's like. I wonder if Ghost is the glue in this ship dynamic? As in, he knew Niobe and Sparks separately before they knew each other, if that makes sense?

And it's the little hovership that could, the little lightning bug of the fleet! Those red lights on the ship look like they're the same as the ones on the sentinels. I wonder if a bulb blows or something they scavenge one from a deactivated squiddie as a replacement?

It's not particularly clear, but I never realised that Niobe's hair is tied with what looks like string with gold in it? Maybe a metal band with gold on it? I'm not sure, but it's pretty!

Also, I appreciate that they give a reason why Niobe is going after this drop, rather than waiting for someone else (ie: Neo) to go get it.

Also, saying are you red or blue on this is a very cool in universe way of saying are you with me or not?

The subtitles are missing here, but what he says:

"You know me Niobe. It's not a choice, it's a way of life."

Ghost, you're awesome, you know that, right?

I get Sparks' complaint here, there are only two of them, and it would be a lot safer to wait for back up to help them out. But nope, you know what Niobe's like, get it done.

Also, as I remarked earlier, the fact that Niobe is willing to risk going in without support , especially given what she says about Thaddeus not using the drops unless he had no choice? And now they're all dead? They definitely need to get that package before the agents do.

I personally love Niobe's little eye roll here.

I also love that Ghost is more chill and amused by Sparks than exasperated like Niobe is. Yeah, Ghost is the glue holding the team together.

Also, a little mention of Zion funerary practices. As someone pointed out to me years ago, I suspect that the gardens is similar to the Exodus fleet's method of burial, but who knows?

Yup, words to live by!

Once again, Niobe is rolling her eyes behind the sunnies. This is what she has to put up with. Also, I would love to think that one time Sparks pranked Ghost by running some program that sent his guns soaring upward.

I always used to think that Ghost was the serious, no nonsense one in the crew, but I'm beginning to think I'm wrong on that front.

Sparks, why do you want his boots? They're too small for your big feet!

Niobe has great taste in old muscle cars. Good old 1967 Pontiac Firebird, in eggplant purple instead of black. Very stylish!

That's all for now, next up will be the post office. See you then!

Logos crew, while awaiting pick up during the events of Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions. I mean, I like to think that Niobe and Ghost were on watch, and then Sparks wrapped the blanket around them all because they’d be no good to anyone if they all got hypothermia!

Was Niobe named after Niobium?? 🤨

Ok fine I get it, MAYBE she was named after Niobe from Greek Mythology, but it's fun to think that she was named after an element used to make rockets. 🚀

I came to the executive decision that it’s high time a helpful chart like this was put together.

Top 5 sci-fi films

Okay I'm gonna preface this with saying they may not strictly be Sci-fi but will definitely have elements of the genre~ (also these are in no particular order and only one movie per franchise)

Aliens (Loved the first one so much but I'm such a fan of action that it just wins out. Also EXCITED FOR ROMULUS~!!! Assuming they don't fuck it up too much)

Transformers TLK (idc what anyone else thinks, I loved these films so much. TLK wins out for one reason and one reason alone and that's Anthony Hopkins)

Terminator 2 (Need I say anything? Also hot take but Salvation is overhated)

Everything, Everywhere, All At Once (what a fuckin masterpiece in cinema. Amazing visuals with beautifully done CGI, pitch perfect performances from a brilliant cast, a narrative that's so insane but brilliantly crafted. God I love this movie so much)

Matrix Reloaded ("But the first one's such a classic" yeah it is but I love the second just a bit more. For me, it has more of the world building element in it, showing more programmes who exist in the world (the Merovingian, Architect and Keymaker), it expands on the freed humans (the various captains, especially Niobe and Ghost, as well as how all the crews know of each other) explored Zion and really just crafts that much deeper world to be immersed in
