Matrix Online: Chapter 13: Uprising
Matrix Online: The Sentinel
The battle within the Machine mainframe becomes fierce, as the Oligarchy subroutines begin to make headway towards the Source, which appear as golden hallways.
The Oligarchs arrive at the Machine city and jack into the Matrix. Once in, they initiate overrides which white out the simulation's sky. This begins to affect the bluepill population and cause civilian casualties. As bluepills die in their pods, the Machines begin losing power.
The fighting in the mainframe is approaching the Source, and the Machines find themselves losing ground. Machines begin to have control problems, as they can't remove the Oligarchy root control, and this is hindering their attempts at resistance. EPN arrives at Helian's domain, and finds most of his defenses are down. EPN is successful in freeing Trinity into the an access port and into the Machine network.
In an attempt to force the Machines to capitulate, the Oligarchs begin shutting down the pods. Within the Matrix, the Oligarchy overdies are causing the sunsets to get longer. Sati attempts to fight it but has great difficulty. The Matrix begins to break down and is in danger of a catastrophic crash.
The Oracle reveals to operatives that the Oligarchy's attack is more than just against the Machines or the Matrix, but against the human subconscious. She says that the Matrix is more than just Machine code- it runs on and is in large part shaped by manipulated human brains. In the end, she reveals it will take a human to free it.
Trinity is able to enter the Source, but is unable to hack and remove the Oligarch's root control programs.
The Machines allow a human operative to enter the Souce. The operative and Trinity merge, activating a black room which eventually turns back into the White Room of the Source. This act allows the Matrix to be reset. The Oligarch root control is finally removed, and the Machines are freed from fear of Oligarch interference.
As a result of the cooperation, the Machines and Humans come to a new understanding and agreement. Any newborn humans will be raised in a new Matrix where they can shape their own surroundings, cared for by the Machines. The old humans will remain in the old Matrix, and a new era of co-existence begins...
