Six months after the events of "The Matrix", Neo and Trinity are now romantically involved. Morpheus receives a message from Captain Niobe of the "Logos" calling an emergency meeting of all ships of Zion. Zion has confirmed the last transmission of the "Osiris": an army of Sentinels is tunneling towards Zion and will reach it within 72 hours. Commander Lock orders all ships to return to Zion to prepare for the onslaught, but Morpheus asks one ship to remain to contact the Oracle. As the "Caduceus" receives a message from the Oracle, one of the "Caduceus" crew, Bane, encounters Smith, who reveals that his previous encounter with Neo severed his connection with the Matrix and has made him a rogue program, then absorbs his avatar. Smith then uses the phone line to leave the Matrix and gain control of Bane's real body.
