Shimada's somehow alive, after having her jack pulled? Neo's supposedly still dead, yet somehow a woman with tons of steel rods shoved through her chest is alive?
You're not paying attention. Shimada is dead - the future scripts just weren't rewritten to account for it. Rarebit explained that. All the Trinity stuff is explained as well.
You may have a point with Edmontons, though. I don't care about Morpheus, and Novalis II was all but written out with the departure of the LET.
Morpheus or the Morpheus sim?
Morpheus is, as we saw back in cinematic 1.3, dead.
Anyway, I liked some aspects of what was written up. It certainly would have been interesting. Perhaps something similar to the end could be carried out as part of the anniversairy event as some form of closure, instead of the story just dropping off.
I wanna see the corrupted matrix again!
While it does seem pretty awesome this way, the fact that we know about it now (and that Rarebit is no longer with us) means we won't see this, or possibly anything else, at least for a time. I can at least see now the reasoning behind the Oligarchs having no skin. Anyway, I don't think any of us should dwell on what could have happened, but what will happen, which is... what? Up to us, I guess.

There are only two others I'd trust.
1) The W Bros
2) Peter Chimaera!
"sOh no!" Merpheus say at teh radar screen "more matrix is attack us" "we will have to jug in" Trinity hooked her up
I can see the ads now:
The Matrix Online - Jug In!
Wow the story is great. The 2 matrix things is different, would like to see how and if that will play out. Guess still we'll never know what really is going to happen.
Rare, that was quite the story. Answered just about all my questions too (well, besides Morpheus, anyway). I take it the Oligarchs took Neo's body to study his DNA, etc?
At any rate, I really, really hope that your next career lets you be as creative as this one has. Well done.
thanks Rare, appreciate the disclosure. I cannot even imagine what will really become to the story line after you have left....my guess? no story line development in the future. simply a simulation to play in. IMHO, YMMV, etc. T
Very interesting, I had the clone idea a long time ago, about humans being clones - looks like I wasn't way off that it involved DNA Great stuff - and anything is possible.
Trainman construct?
Who or what is H? Chptr 13, 14
Helian?
Indeed.

Heh, which is something one small Merv girl has been longing for since the first time she saw the scorched sky... It's about time I threw that iron onto the anvil.
All you people complaining about Morpheus and Sarah Edmontons, etc etc - Rare didn't intend for the story to end at all. After chapter 14, the story would have continued on to maybe one day answer those things, but it just won't anymore.
I need to read this in more detail, I just skimmed, but WOW! EPIC!
Well. I'm just lost for words.
I don't know whether I like it, or whether I hate it.
Granted, it probably would have looked good as a film or actually being played out (albeit at a faster pace than we have been going.)
But when reading it, it all just seems to all be tied up and given a "happy ever after" feeling. While I'm sure there was plenty more to be padded out. It just seems unrealistic (to me) for the Machines to start a new Matrix where they are caring, solely because they aren't controlled by the Oligarchs.
I do, however, love the Oligarch backstory, and it is exactly how I had hoped.
