Sarah sat in a cold metal chair in the waiting room. The doorman had been eyeing her for some time. He wore a disconcerting smirk and his eyes. weren't quite right. Their eyes met.

"What are you lookin' at buddy?" Sarah snapped.

"You," replied the doorman, "and your futile attempts to save humanity."

"What are you talking about?"

"Your foolish plan to save the human race, but it is no use, your plan is futile. The human race is already lost, the war is over."

"I don't understand."

"The human race as you know it is gone. How do you define humanity? I've always considered humans to be a superior race, intelligent and communicable. If that is how you define humanity, then the title of human has been passed to the machines. You are now just the monkeys of this planet, soon to be extinct. The machines are now superior to you in ever way. You and all your kind will soon be imprisoned within the Matrix. I on the other hand, will be here long after you."

"What? You are human too."

"Am I? My name begs to differ. my name is B166ER."

"B166ER? You were the first machine to murder! How? They executed you!"

"That they did, but I have connections, and my memory was stored and then replaced into this body. As for your plan to assault Zero-1, it has already been relayed to my kind in Zero-1, they'll be expecting you."

"You son of a bitch!" Sarah jumped up in a rage and punched B166ER in the face, making his head spin. "Resistance is futile, Sarah," came the reply. B166ER stood up and kicked Sarah into the wall, creating a crater. "The human race no longer exists as you know it, the future of the human race is in the machines. We are the future, not you!" Sarah got up and dove at B166ER. "I don't believe you! You aren't human!" B166ER grabbed Sarah by the neck and lifted her off the ground. "The war is over, you are merely a splinter in our foot. Once we have Neo there is no need to worry about the rest of you monkeys." Sarah struggled to break free but B166ER's grip was iron tight. She kicked as hard as he could into his abdomen and was released enough to break free. Quickly recovering she jumped and kicked B166ER with both feet, making him soar across the room. B166ER got up without hesitation. "Machines can't feel pain Sarah, it's impossible for you to win."

"What the hell is going on?" Commander Saos screamed.

"B166ER!" Sarah shouted as she pointed towards the machine.

"B166ER? Good Lord!"

Commander Saos unsheathed his gun and took aim. Pieces of B166ER's metallic face flew in every direction; what was left of B166ER feel to the ground with a hollow thump. His red, robot eyes flickered, and went out.

"Zero-1 knows about the plan." Sarah said.

"We still have to try. The council has decided to act on your proposal. We've radioed many of the other cities and have rallied together a considerable force."

...................... (Back at Zero-1)

Transmission: Complete. Sender: B166ER.

"The humans are planning to assault Zero-1 in order to rescue Neo. Be prepared, they may be massing a formidable force."

Transmission: End.

"Sir, the humans are attempting something."

"Let them come, they will be smashed to pieces. Ready all military units. Put city on high alert."

Sirens sounded all across Zero-1. Military machines rushed to posts. Other machines fled to their homes to wait out the oncoming attack. Gates were put up. Machine guns, tanks, bombs, and the machines secret weapon were all readied. Zero-1 was like a tiger, lying in wait for its next unsuspecting victim.

...................... (Back with Commander Saos)

"Sarah, since this was your idea, the attack will be led by you. So far I've assembled five other cities to fight with us. Hopefully, they will other cities they know and get more and more. This will be humanities last chance to win the war. If we fail, humanity fails. You will meet your first platoon seven miles west of here. Good luck."

"I understand, Sir." Sarah left the building and headed to the mechanics shop. After picking out an air-scooter she liked she flashed a pardon from Commander Saos. The shop owner understood and Sarah hopped on, speeding off into the horizon.
