Possible Story Ideas

[Barloke]

If what I am reading from Rarebit's notes is correct the Oligarch today are remnants of some power hungry group that saw the Machines as an opportunity for manipulation and not so much as a threat. The fact that these Oligarch have android bodies cements the idea that they have achieved a sort of immortality as the Machine programs. Of course they have killed off alot of their own number in some in-fighting so that now there number is around a hundred. Ok so ever since the begining, even before the creation of the Matrix these Oligarth have been infiltrating the Machine program with their own which is why they can enter and leave the Matrix without any problems. So far everything sounds tight, I guess the only problem I have is that Rare is saying these guys who he claims to be "amoral" and "insane" had enough wits to establish kingdoms in un-occupied territories of the Real...say wha?

So no one in Zion , Cyph or the Merv camps in their own hovercraft didn't "bump" inot one of these "kingdoms" all this time?

If they are "insane" and "amoral" I cannot understand why the Machines would use every method to rid the Oligarth's control of the system (and I mean long before Neo, Morpheus or Trinity came into the picture). If anything I would think the Machines would have issued a cease fire long ago with Zion and tried to get help from that quarter as well. Ok so a few things there gave me more questions and the way Rarebit seems to have outlined it, it seems the idea of Trinity being the carrier of some virus to stop the control programs and eventually the Oligarths in their tracks is the option left to us. It sux because there's probably a billion other ways this story could have turned out with better results but I guess Rare had this thought out and in detail for a while.
