Hello this is my first matrix fanfiction. I have borrowed ideas from here and there and not all of themI can remember where they come from so if I offened anyone then I am sorry. I am working on another story at the moment so this might be updated slowly although reviews do help remind me;)
If characters are out of character then I'm sorry I haven't seen the films for a while and I didn't like some of the characters anyway.
Disclaimer: You recognise it, I don't own it.
Thank-you to Lady Rheena who's story gave me the inspiration to write this one. I hope it is as good.
The survey satellite hovering above the thick storm-clouds that covered Earth's barren surface was not intelligent. It had been put there 500 years ago to report every sign of anything unusual. It maintenance was done every 50 years but apart from that no-one touched it and nothing was sent to or from it. In fact its very existence would be disputed if people realised it was there, it could easily be used elsewhere, but most were not aware. It was there though and so when the Logos appeared above the clouds into the sunlight the satellite recognised a heat signature and started recording. It added the fact that humans were on the craft for the sole reason that it had found two shapes that were at a constant temperature of 37 degrees centigrade. It was not aware of the improbability of this, just of the fact that this was what it sensed. It sent the transmission, as programmed, to the moon, a nearly deserted military base now, holding only 1000 individuals instead of the 1 million civilians it had been designed for. No-one wanted to be so close to such an obvious reminder of the machine war that had supposedly wiped out all life on their home planet three quarters of a millennia ago. The satellite was not aware of the shock and amazement that ran through the base leading to the message being sent to the headquarters of the military and civilian organisations now on Mars. Within 10 minutes a message had been sent back, the survey team was to go and explore this instead of the scheduled trip to a new comet that had appeared. There was a remote possibility of the satellite malfunctioning but while many people almost hoped for this it was not likely. While mankind had learned from its most obvious mistake, at least for a while, and there were no AI machines any more, the machines that did exist were of the highest speck and updated regularly. There was little chance of anything going wrong and less so in something only designed to observe. It was for these reasons then that the Tiala reached the satellite less than 3 hours after the Logos first appeared above the clouds.
It's short I know but it is only the prologue and I couldn't go on without putting the first chapter in which I really didn't want to do.
