* DoomMagnet: Douglas Fargo is considered one in-universe. According to the LotusEaterMachine recreation of S.A.R.A.H. it had been 1468 days since the last major incident at Global Dynamics, roughly the same amount of time (4 years) that Fargo had been missing with the Astreus team. Given that the Matrix was designed with multiple predictive algorithms to create a highly accurate projection of what would happen in those circumstances, one has to wonder about what that says about Fargo.
