I think that the flushing is the act of sending a body to a mass liquification facility. Where neo ended up might not be the facility but the pipe line. Remember, there are human sized "pond scum" floating around the wall in the vat or whatever neo was in before the neb crew fished him out.

I dont think there would be a problem with desease when you consider the average surface temperature would be colder then winter and any pathogenic orginism would freeze without a host. Judging from the "film" that neo punctured prior to being flushed, it would seem the machines take steps to keep the human body effectively sealed from the outside world and each other.

Further more, with the machines being all about efficient in what they do, it would make more sence to evacuate a pod and have a new human ready to occupy it ASAP then have the body sit there and be liquified. Another thing is that the whole pod seems to be designed to allow for rapid evacuation of a body and delievery to a central location.

Finally, if a body was deseased, for whatever reason, chances are the machines would want to research what caused the desease in the body to prevent further loss.

I think the actual redpill did what they said it did, it allowed them the ability to locate the persons body in the real. I think what we REALLY need to look at, is that mirror that Neo touches and started t coat him with its surface. I mean, what was the point of the mirror? Perhaps to get someone out of the matrix, they have to expose them to something in the matrix so out there that it forces the person to wake up, it would explain the code bombs in the game that were used to wake people up early on in the games storyline.

I mean, what wakes you up better? A nightmare or a pleasant dream?

"The pill you took is part of a trace program, its designed to disrupt your input output carrier signal so that we can pinpoint your location"

                                                                                                                                                                                                - Morpheus (SP?lol)

I dont think the pill is tricking the machines at all, i belive that while they have a new redpill in that extraction room there are alot of things going on you dont know about. For instance A-poc was trying to lock onto Neo's signal, and Trinity was strapping Neo in while morpheus was talking to him,but what were Switch and cypher doing with all thier gadgets?

I like to think they were hacking the program code of the matix distorting it slowly in order to make the matrix appear less real for Neo, which is why the broken mirror started to liquify and once it started climbeing up his arm he knew it couldnt be real, so thats what woke him up.

So now that he is awake 1 of 2 thing happens, either he's flushed and goes where all the bodys dead or alive go, and the HvCft is just there to scoop him up before he makes his way to the "liquify factory" (lol) via the sewers. OR perhaps the tubes he slid down have alrternate routs and maybe they they send the redpills to a diffrent area. You know close off this door and open another just change the course of the tube.

Remember the machines know about zion and every so often they go down there to destroy it. Zion is basicly kinda like a trash can, and redpills are the trash. Sooner or later you gotta take the trash out becasue it gets to full.

So, then a red-pill is used to "sike" the matrix and the machines into beleiveing that a newly awakened red-pill is dead?

That is correct.  After taking the red pill, Neo experiences a "death" in the Matrix.  The shock of it wakes him in the Real.  It pretty much follows the idea that if you die in a dream, your body will forcibly awaken itself.

However, the primary purpose is also to act as a tracing program so they can pinpoint his pod location in the Real and rendezvous with him in the respective "pool" after he's flushed.
