Attention operatives.
Humans. I am here today to address these...curious...allegations that the Machines are responsible for the "kidnapping" of two exiles.
A new threat has introduced itself against humans. It was placed there not by the Machines, who would have no motive to do so, but by a very dangerous organization.
It is an organization concerned not with maintaining balance, but only with possessing absolute power, and is, therefore, capable of absolute destruction.
*(After killing an enemy player)*
Much better.
Our reports indicate the Merovingian is the one responsible.
We also have reports that these Exiles used to work for him.
To believe that the Machines would kidnap and threaten the Matrix with Exiles is...preposterous.
What use would Machines have for Lupines or Blood-Drinkers, a breed of parasites that will only destroy its hosts in short-sighted attempts to survive, until it has obliterated the possibilty for continuance entirely?
These Exile anomalies are powerful.
We are still investigating.
There is no possibility of existence in a universe where the inhabitants cannot understand the concept of balance.
We are researching ancient human documents, which my colleagues insists holds the key.
This statement is concluded.
