When the truce ends ... (IC)

I've heard it so many times. It made me chuckle, to say least, every time.
A machinists or Cypherites answer to the question "What will happen if the truce every gets cancelled, ends?"
Their answer if simple. Nothing. They think they'll stay under the protection of the Machines under their wings, operative Agents, so to say, watching over the blues.

Anybody with an understanding of the Machines know that that will never happen. The protection, that is.

When the truce ends ...

... the Machines will reset the cycle as fast as possible.
    To achieve that they have to
    ... destroy Zion and "New Zion" and any other bases of Humans in the Real.
    ... kill every Redpill Operative out there, may they be Zion, Merovingian,
        EPN, CYPH or even Machine (I'll get back to that later).
    ... recover every bit of code of the Anomaly (namely "The One", Neo).
    ... reboot the Matrix, reset the peoples minds.
    ... reset the Anomaly.
    ... rebuild Zion.
    ... regrow the Zion population.
    ... wait for the next coming of our "Messiah".
... will be the next greatest war next to the one before the near extinction of the human race.
... will nothing we have done up to now, what we have endured, changed anything. Everything will be in vain.

As I stated, nobody will survive the war. Not a single operative. No-one. The reasoning is simple. Do Machinists and Cypherites really belief that the Machines can allow definite threat factors (the operatives) let alive? There is no reinsertion process and keeping the Redpill operatives, wether they work openly with the Machines (Machinists) or secretly (Cypherites), just brings the danger of awakening and many questions to those, that will be awakened at the next coming of "The One", by encountering people that should not be there by any means. Well, if they manage to reset the cycle, that is. But the Machines would have no other choice than to reset the cycle if they end the truce.

No, neither Machinists nor Cypherites will survive the end of the truce.

But at least, Machinists try to hold up the truce, while the Cypherites try to reactivate the cycle.

Why would the Machines want to reset the cycle, though? The only thing that kept them was the truce. No truce = back to their program. And by now, everybody knows what that means.

Seeing, that none of this has happened, there's only one conclusion. The truce is alive. I want to say that clearly, although it's at a temporary hold until things "clear up", again. Of course, open war it is, too. But it's not as far as dangerous as the total end of the truce.

Of course, this is an assumption based on the belief, that if the truce ends, it's because we have failed and war will rage. An all-out war, unlike now. Of course, if the truce ended it could also be that we succeeded, and a peace treaty finally comes into place. There are still other possibilities, though.

Illyria pushed her chair back and smiled. She'd finished reading the latest statement about the current situation...all the statements, actually, from everyone on every side. Speculations as to what would happen to Zion, the Machines' human operatives, the redpills who'd allied with the Merovingian. Speculations, but no definite facts. Nobody really knew what would happen to the humans who'd already been extracted from the Matrix, now that the truce was over. But that didn't matter. Whether not a single redpill died, or the Machines wiped them all out, or even if the redpills killed each other off. None of it mattered. This was bigger than any of them, and she smiled again.

I fear that your assumption is correct. As long as the humans in the pods survive, there's no need to worry. Though, without a doubt, nothing what we have done would have achieved anything. A chance lost. I wonder if we'll have others.

It's hard, but I rather not want to give this chance up. And there are ways to achieve "something" (it differs so strongly nowadays, anything but this words seems appropriate) without endangering the blues.
