"...Hm. How curious..." the purplette pondered, before shrugging and moving to catch up with Trinity and Morpheus. 3 in Intelligence +7 from Code Vision to locate Morpheus and Trinity.
3 in Speed to catch up with them.

You catch up to them as they enter a building. "Glad you could join us." Trinity said.
"Link filled us in." Morpheus said. "Seems like the Matrix is home to more secrets than we thought."

"You're telling me. I did not expect to kill a dragon when I went in earlier", Neo pointed out, smirking. "Speaking of secrets, what are we doing here anyway?" she asked, following them in.

"Meeting with someone who doesn't belong here." Morpheus said as you arrive inside an office room.
Where a wizard clad in grey robes is smoking a pipe.

"I'll say, yeah", the purplette noted, raising an eyebrow. "Hello there."

"Hello indeed." The wizard said. "I have been looking forward to our meeting for some time now Neo." He said. "Allow me to introduce myself... My name is Gandalf the Grey."

"Nice to meet you? I guess?" the purplette said, raising an eyebrow, as she had no idea whatsoever whether the old man was a possible friend, or foe. "...So you know who I am. What do you want with me?"

Gandalf nodded and stood up. "Walk with me." He declared leading you up onto the roof. "I already know about your adventure in a strange land. I don't know exactly where you were sent other than it was not my world."
He paused a moment to let that sink in. "That's right. You were not in the Matrix, at least not fully. You were in another world, another universe entirely."

The purplette paused - in expression anyway; she didn't stop walking unless the old man did.
"Another universe? Not in the Matrix? ...But... that's impossible. I mean... I know I've been able to use some of my powers outside of the Matrix before, but it was neither easy, nor was I nearly that powerful. And... an Agent managed to possess a person close to me. They can only possess people from the Matrix, right? ...Only Smith was able to interract with the real world outside of it, and he was no longer an Agent by then. How could all of this happen and still be outside of the Matrix?" she asked, puzzled.

"I wish I knew... To my understanding humans are not supposed to generate enough energy on their own to justify the Matrix either, yet that seems to be the exeception in this universe." He said. "Perhaps when the Matrix was constructed it managed to tap into forces beyond human, or even machine comprehension. However it came to be, it just is now." He said.

"That... is true", the purplette admitted. "I've always wondered about that..." she pondered out loud.
"So... the Matrix... and possibly the world around it... do not work the way we thought it to, huh. And... what happens now?"

"Well that is up to you." Gandalf said. "You catry to destroy the Matrix free your people and never look back... Or you can take more steps into a world bigger and brighter than you can ever imagine.

Neo paused, troubled. "...You mean... I can't take those steps if I do save my people? It has to absolutely be one or the other?" she asked, biting her lower lip.

"Save? Thats an odd way to put it. From what I understand most people cannot take the reality of being freed from this place... Besides victor for your people ad the destruction of this wkrld do not go hand in hand do they not?"

Neo frowned, shaking her head.
"...You don't understand. Most people cannot take the reality of being freed yet, and only because the machines are brainwashing them into thinking their reality is the correct one. More and more people realize something is wrong with the Matrix every day thanks to our actions, and escaping it allows them to live their true lives, to escape their state of virtual slavery. Just because a lot remains to be done doesn't mean one should stop working hard to get it done, now does it?" she pointed out.
"We only lose the moment we give up. As long as we keep fighting, there is still hope. Just look at what I can do already... nothing is impossible. Victory for my people will come eventually if I just keep freeing everyone and fighting our enemies back. If I just shrug it off and left on a merry adventure, I'd essentially condemn them all to slavery for the rest of their existence, and all the freed humans to death. Surely you're not trying to convince me that such an alternative is anywhere close to better?"
