Story reason for the Matrix shutting down...?

**Fen**

Void ate the Matrix.

Phrack

My bald head went into reflection overload.

**Archangel**

I blame the Algorithm.

**MetaLogic**

I blame Morpheus!

Wait, wait, let me guess how he does it...

With a liberal application of bacon and baked beans. He left the gas on and fell asleep.

Reminds me of that scene in Clerks 2 where Randall walks up to Dante and says, "Terrorists? ****, I left the coffee pot on again."

Void loves him some bacon and beans.

The True Life End of the Matrix for Real

Fed up with constant attacks by Redpills, Oligarchs and dangerous obsolete programs, the Architect disables all accessible ports and activates a severe encryption code locking out all external transmissions from unwanted sources. The Machinists are no longer needed, thus lumped into the same basket as Zion and are terminated on sight as the war wages onward. New Zion is located and scheduled for destruction by detonating the areas around the city causing massive cave-ins and volcanic eruptions from the core. The population is consumed by the very earth it sought shelter and freedom within.

The Merovingian's empire crumbles as his backdoor access is removed resulting in his exile to his Chateau. After going insane while writing his memoirs, he goes on a rampage killing every exile in his abode with an axe, including his own wife. Merv is later found dead in the middle of the snow outside, frozen. His Chateau is condemned and never used again but left as a reminder not to oppose the Machines.

Merovingian operatives and Cypherites eventually drift throughout the Real and fully immerse themselves into constructs to save their sanity. However, eventually they all die out having deprieved themselves of nutrition while their bodies atrophy once more.

E Pluribus Neo and the remaining human fleets meet their end in one last attempt at a Machine City attack. Their forces fatally crippled, Kid detonates the remaining crafts hoping to vanquish the Machines along with them. With the power plant and production devastated, the Machines take massive losses. Whispers of sentience fade as their vast empire rusts away with its resources depleted.

As the smoke clears and the instigators of an everlasting war forever fade from the Earth, a faint transmission is heard whispering from deep within the earth. Beneath the scorched skies and below a lifeless surface, it endlessly loops serving as a warning to those who might dare to dream or challenge the unknown...

"It is inevitable..."

Architect couldnt pay the server bills. Don't worry, he made a backup of your file, and is now going to delete it for the lulz.
