Ugh, babysitting...Chloe!
It seems to me that the Cypherites were the only logical choice. Mervs are out the door instantly, regular Machine bureaucrats would be too busy fumbling over paperwork and stroking their own egos about how "super efficient" they are to be effective. Zion and EPN, in the end, would never prioritize Sati as much as someone who is an advocate for the continued existence of the Matrix because in the end - she's just another program to them. Who is to say that Zion and EPN wouldn't use her as some means to disrupt the simulation's stability, and cause mass awakenings? In the end, Sati is an integral part of the bluepill dream. Since we aim to preserve stability at any cost, it's only natural to assume that we would treat the protection of Sati like any other mission. We'll protect Sati through any means necessary.
Fragment hmm? I trust the other Cypherites will look after this fragment and decrypt it soon. Watch over Sati? As in the Oracle won't be able to do it herself? If something happens to her before I get to meet her for the first time I will beat whoever harms her to bits and fragments...And why can't Seraph watch her? Not that I mind the Cypherites being assigned such an important task....
Hmm, this news raises questions.
