"Concordantly, while your first question may be the most pertinent, you may or may not realize it is also the most irrelevant."
- The Architect

You've read, here at MxO Stratics, interviews with everyone from actors to authors. From Toby Ragaini and William Westwater to Rob Overseer and Collin Chou. So, you know we're no stranger to interviews with big names in the world of The Matrix and The Matrix Online. But, with our next interview we're going to mix things up a bit and give you the reader a chance to ask an actor from the Matrix Trilogy your questions. Who is it? None other than Helmut Bakaitis, better known to Matrix fans as The Architect.

That's right, we're asking you to submit questions for this exclusive interview so that the community can get the answers they want, making the experience interactive. So, what are the stipulations? Well, submitting a question does NOT guarantee it will be asked. Please do not post more than five questions. Realize that, if you ask about The Matrix Online, that his answers may be limited due to the secrecy we all know surrounds the subject. That doesn't mean don't ask MxO related questions, however. We exercise editorial control over all our interviews and will be choosing only the best and most unique questions that we think will get the best responses. Once you post your questions, they become part of our interview, and thus the property of The Matrix Online Stratics. Don't worry, we'll treat them well.

And if that wasn't a big enough incentive, by submitting your questions you'll be put in a random drawing for a MxO Stratics book 2-pack, which will include a copy of Matrix Warrior by Jake Horsley and a copy of Jacking In To The Matrix Franchise by Matthew Kapell and William G. Doty.

So, what do you want to know from Mr. Helmut Bakaitis? This is your shot to interview an actor from the Matrix films! Head on over to the forum and get writing. You have until September 22, 2004 @ 11:59 PST.
