Neurophyte (real name: Anne Simpson) was a Utility Coder and a crew member of the Novalis II during the events of The Matrix Online. Before the merging of the eight servers into three, there was a mission where Neurophyte was infected by a kill-code virus when she was in the Matrix and needed to be saved, which resulted in a different outcome depending on the pre-merged server. With the merge, the admin for the game, Walrus announced it would drop this storyline.
