Possible Story Ideas

[Neo VII]

Welcome to the Zion Mainframe: Historical Archives

The Renaissance of Neo the Sixth

In the beginning there was man, and for a time it was good. Then Man created Machine. For a time Man and Machine existed together in chaos. Then Machine created the Matrix. It was during the creation of the link between Man and Machine, that another race was born. The Program. Blessed is he who does not follow the paths of others, but follows his own. This particular program, deceived during most of it's existence, once believed itself to be a living person. A human being. Grant Man and Machine mercy for their sins.

In an attempt, by the machines, to understand and thus control the re-occurrence of the "Systemic Anomaly", the remains of the man known as The One were preserved, studied, and eventually copied into a digital existence.

This digital existence was void of the memories and experiences of "The One", yet encompassed everything else which characterized his essence. His perception, his reason, his focus, his determination, his will, these attributes were copied into a "Program".

Though initially, this program was a complete failure, lacking something the Machines were unable to predict or comprehend. What their failures were unable to duplicate were simple human connections. So the program was rewritten to be unaware of its true nature.

With much success, this Program was able to hinder the problem known as the re-occurrence of the Systemic Anomaly. At its core, the program was reset on a regular basis in an effort to control any chance of it becoming completely self aware. The problem occurred when the program became aware of this resetting process and hide a message for itself in its favorite reading material. Nietzsche's The Antichrist.

The Program was reset for a final time and upon reawakening, discovered its true essence after deciphering the message it had hidden in text. It was in this moment the world around it began to fail and the system began to "error". This discovery of its true nature, that its family had never existed, his friends, the people he loved. With the discovery of these truths, it became enraged. And it was so, that during this moment, he was somehow rewritten. Most notably, his brown eyes and brown hair shifted to a red glowing luminescence.

The Machines were dispatched for it's deletion. All attempts failed. Most memorably, Agent Pace, whom even after defeating it, discovered that it was able to reconstruct itself, reappearing moments after it's destruction from a hard-line telephone. It escaped capture and imprisonment through the subway, exiled to another part of the system, harbored by the program known as, The Merovingian.

Its whereabouts are currently unknown, yet it's widely perceived throughout the Matrix, that it seeks vengeance on the System that created it. For the family it loved. For the friends that never existed. For the lies it was told.

Though fate, is not without a sense of irony, for someone he loved was indeed a real living person. She currently searches the Matrix for him, in an effort to persuade him and the group of devout programs that follow him, from their path to destroy the Machines, The Matrix, and all of Mankind.
