"How do we get to the real world, Trin?" Neo asked her. "Remember the Kid? How did he do it?" "Through Self substantiation." "That's how we're going to get to the real world. We should talk to the council, we don't have their full support yet." "I'll write a speech." Replied Neo as he headed of to his room.
It was the next day and Neo was now presenting his speech to the council. "We believe that the real world, probably isn't real. Peace between us and the Machines is an illusion, another form of control in the Matrix. We believe that we could get to the real world through Self substantiation. In that world we are probably still growing in pods." He briefly looked around the hall for a few seconds before continuing. "When I got to the source and spoke with the Architect, he said that there is a place for people who don't accept the program. This is this place, as you can see none of us accept the Matrix." He looked around again, this time to see if there are any questions. "Ok Neo" One of the councillors spoke up. "We know that you're trying hard to help us but why would there be a Matrix inside a Matrix. Even if this world that you speak about is real, it would probably cause conflict between us and the Machines. Peace got declared just a few days ago... In the simplest terms Neo, what we are saying is that we don't agree with your belief and therefore won't support you. I'm sorry that it seems harsh but that was the only way of saying it." "That's ok." Neo turned around and imidiately left.
