On the Neb
Agent Smith was somewhat amazed by the fact the rebels aboard the ship had not noticed any extensive differences between himself and Mr Anderson they were supposedly his companions and they all, in particular Trinity seemed to know him quite intimately, however they had not yet discovered that he had replaced their beloved 'One'.
Interesting, he thought. These humans can spend months, even years together, yet an Agent can still learn more about them, search intricate details about their past, personality, and relationships in seconds, than a human could in a lifetime. None of them know each other at all. That is where Programs such as the Agents have the advantage, Agents could communicate between each other and the mainframe, to gain necessary information instantaneously.
But Smith isn't connected to the mainframe any more. That is one of the reasons he hates Anderson so much. Smith pauses. Technically programs shouldn't be able, to hate, or to feel at all. But then all Agents were programmed to have a small amount of human emotion, to help them understand the Rebels, to be able to predict their reactions. However not all Agents are programmed in exactly the same way, as most of the Rebels thought, each Agent has a slight difference about them, each had a slightly different, Smith supposes it is what a human would call talent. Smiths talent was a much more detailed understanding of human emotions.
Smith supposes that is what his flaw was. Where Agents Brown and Jones felt mild satisfaction once then had apprehended a target, Agent Smith felt pleasure. Where Agents Brown and Jones felt the need to fulfil their objectives, Smith felt the desire to. At first this had made him one of the most successful Agents the matrix had ever had, until Anderson came. Smith had just completed his purpose, his objective of deleting Anderson, when Anderson had done what was impossible, come back and killed him, an Agent. He had failed. And now he no purpose
So it was those emotions that had driven him here now, his desire, to hurt Anderson, to delete him, to remove his purpose, to make him suffer. It was his desire for revenge. Smith knew he would get revenge too He picked up the phone.
The Source
Neo was staring into the darkness, he felt a bit stupid about the yelling now, but he had just felt so lost.
"So it appears even the anomaly can be overwritten" stated a level voice.
Neo span around so fast that Agent Brown stumbled backwards. Neo was amused and rather surprised to find that Agents could actually look shocked.
Neo frowned slightly. "What are you doing here?" he asked trying to ignore the impulse to fight the Agent, as he had done so many times before.
Agent Brown raised an eyebrow. "I am in temporary deletion storage, for the same reason as you. My program has been overwritten"
Neo decided that he didn't like the sound of 'temporary deletion storage' or being overwritten. "Who overwrought you?" Neo questioned
Agent Brown never cessed to be amazed by the blatant stupidity of some humans. "My program was overwritten by the rouge Agent, Smith" he said with contempt. "He has upgraded his software somehow, and is able to replicate himself into more, sophisticated programs"
Neo looked at the Agent thoughtfully, he didn't seem very pleased about being overwritten, which wasn't a good sign. Tentivly he asked, "So, what happens when you are overwritten?"
Agent Brown's fists clenched, and eyes narrowed, Neo felt a bit worried, he had never seen Agent Brown ever express any signs of emotion more than smugness or slight annoyance, and right now he looked more furious than Agent Smith ever had.
