Chapter 2

"Does that mean that Neo was human or a Cylon infiltrator?"

"Yes he is a Cylon, unfortunately we couldn't control him for some reason. Which is why he could absorb so much data, and react faster in the Matrix than any of you."

"That would make sense" I replied, "Did he know this?"

"No" replied the Oracle.

"Does this mean we're stuck on this world or free to leave? It isn't exactly hospitable?"

"Not for humans, no. But should you all choose to leave we will happily provide you with a spacecraft with FTL capability. I would warn you however not to go near the Cylons as they really will kill you. The Cylons at this minute are hunting another offshoot of humanity to extinction"

"What about maps, and guidance as to safe planets to live on"

"We can provide all this for you Morpheus. Ensure you all have the right programs and materials to 'upload' whatever knowledge you require. Should this be equipment be damaged, you are on you own. Is this clear?"

"Perfectly. Why are the Cylons hunting mankind"

"Because your cousins sought to make them slaves, or to kill them. So they met us, and acquired other technology as we have discussed and fought back"

"What would happen if we encountered the Cylons and went to war"

"They would become your enemy, not ours. We would uphold our cease fire with you, and our treaty with them. But really Morpheus, you have just finished a war, would you want to begin another?"

"Of course not, I just wanted to understand your position in this"

"Good, for some reason the Cylons believe it is 'Gods Will' to destroy the humans"

"Are you seriously telling me that a 'machine', no disrespect intended, can believe in god?"

"None taken Morpheus. They do though, and we fail to understand their logic. We see things as being either inorganic or organic computers"

"I see"

"I truly hope that you do"

"A question though Oracle, can you tell us where this other offshoot of humanity is, or their whereabouts. It would be good to have help and be among others"

"We can give you their last co-ordinates, and what resources they will be looking for. As yet it is impossible to track via our form of FTL travel, but we are working on it"

"You have given us much Oracle, I thank you"

"I have one question to ask of you Morpheus, now this war is over that you allow me to travel with you, your people willing"

"I will surely ask Oracle. But why travel with us?"

"Because this world is dead, and I wish to meet others"
