"Flood: Listen, and listen carefully because I'm going to say this once.
Flood: As you can no doubt see for yourselves, the Machines continue to wreak havoc within the Matrix.
Flood: Our reports shown that they continue to act erratically, running off at the mouth about "contraband fragments" and demanding that they're turned over to them immediately.
Flood: They have gone so far as to blame the Merovingian, as though we have had a hand in the distribution of these fragments.
Flood: I think not.
Flood: On the contrary, what we will continue to do is collect these fragments, taking them directly from the agents themselves, by whatever means necessary.
Flood: Obviously, the more we know, the better suited we are. You have engaged in collecting information before, but until now, that was child's play.
Flood: And the best way to do that is to collect as many as we possibly can, and then, collect even more.
Flood: The Merovingian has designated Exile operatives that will take fragments from you.
Flood: It couldn't be more simple - collect information, gather these fragments, and deliver both to us.
Flood: And do not let anything get in your way."
