"Elsa! Come and join us! It's over now, you don't need to worry any longer— we're free!

"… Elsa? Elsa, what's wrong?"

"Everything."

"What do you mean, everything?"

"I mean that everything is wrong."

"What?"

"Everything is wrong; it isn't over. Can't you feel it? It feels like …"

"Like what?"

"Like a dream."

"Come on Elsa, not those feelings again."

"They aren't just feelings."

"You can't mean that. You saw what happened! The sentinels, they just left. They got some signal from above, and they left. You had to have seen it."

"I saw it."

"Well, what else do you need, an envoy of machines bringing a message of peace?"

"It wasn't real."

Access Program Matrix-3

File Description: Third version of the Matrix. Created when many humans still detected the second version. Consists of two connected sets of code, a "Real World Sector" and a "Matrix Sector."
"Matrix Sector": Set of code within the Matrix. Simulates the environment of human existence at the height of their accomplishments and achievements (before AI).
"Real World Sector": Set of code within the Matrix. Simulates the environment found outside the Matrix, including the surface, underground sewers, and machines such as sentinels. Additions include the human city of Zion. Humans who detect the "Matrix Sector" of the program "escape" to the "Real World" Sector. Because they think they are free they do not detect it as they did with the second version or the "Matrix Sector."
