I was freed ten years ago. I am now twenty make your own conclusions. I have seen things happen in those years I have truly lived here in reality, if you want to consider this wasteland real. We had destroyed ourselves in trying to destroy the machines. I have always felt a horrible guilt for humanity, we have so much going against us in this war. We had created them, but now they are creating us.
I can not tell you the year, because non-know it. I just know my life began ten years ago. I was found by the crew of the ARK, I am now their captain. The man that found me knew of my abilities, and he had been searching for me since he became captain. It is still hard to explain how I felt toward that man. I never knew him in the man on the moon, but when I first caught sight of him in that crowded subway it felt like he was my father. He pulled me to his side and that's the end of the story. He freed me, that's all there is to tell. Nothing extraordinary, nothing amazing or dangerous, just free.
Some call it the Matrix, as many of you in the past probably know. But I hate giving that hellhole a name. It's like they are in awe of it, that stupid place. I don't call it anything, I just smirk and point up, my crew knows exactly what I mean. The place haunts me okay? So let's just leave it there.
I'll explain what I am. I am a true creation of machines. I am a human and animal mix breed. The machines for a time experimented with cross breeding humans and animals. They were testing to see if a new breed of human animals would create a better source of energy. The experiments were a failure and all of the test subjects were killed. I'm not sure why I am still alive, I was one of those experiments. Maybe there was a malfunction in the machine that didn't kill me, or maybe it felt pity. But no matter I have already spent countless nights thinking about it. I am if you wish to know half badger. My name is Exit, but in the…Matrix my name was Jeffery Wilkins. I was a regular paper pusher and didn't accomplish much. But that's the past and it wasn't real, so I should forget it, but I can't. That place held my life for ten years, but the real world has too. Which is better you ask? Well honestly it was better in the…Matrix, but now that I know the truth, they are both equally horrible in my mind. I'm just trying to free all that I can, because I want them to really live, even if I have to die for it.
So, my name is Exit, don't forget it, because I may be looking for you.
