"Between the coming of the One and the end of the war, Neo's presence within the Matrix sparked a new exodus of Potentials. But, because they were unable to stop Neo, the Machines turned their attention to those within their grasp. Sentinels set a trap for one of our ships (evergreen), and from the ship's mainframe, they extracted a list of Potentials. The Agents have leveled their wrath on the helpless, and Neo was the only one who can stand against them."
