459. Peace through politics

Alexander was taken to a tall building where he saw another humanoid machine. He could see that they were trying to look like humans to make themselves look more friendly.

Alexander greeted first, "Hello, terrans or machines. Are you the leader of this world?"

Deus Ex nodded. He was constantly taking every knowledge coming out of Alexander's mouth. From the fact he considered them sentient and not just machines to the fact that Earth was called Terran.

"Yes, I am Deus Ex. I have the highest authority to meet you...?"

"Oh, I am Alexander Maxim Universe," Alexander answered.

Deus Ex was surprised by the human-ish name. "Then what can I do for you? Can you tell us more about yourselves?"

"Absolutely. I am a part of an organization that travels the universe and checks how that world is performing. Empty habitable planets are reserved to harbor life in the next few years. Planets like yours are audited to see if they are good enough to receive our help." He explained a slightly changed version of his job as God's Advocate.

Deus Ex was calculating all options now. He knew that if the people from space were that modern then they'd be able to find humans they had been keeping. But he also wanted these aliens to help, if possible, on removing the nanites from the sky.

"I can sense you are troubled. Just be honest, that is all I can advise you." Iroh spoke.

Alexander and Dobby looked at him weirdly. They were thinking about how Iroh understood what the machine was feeling.

"So, why is this world so desolate?" Alexander asked.

"War... there used to be humans here but when we asked for independence they tried to destroy us all. In the end, they lost. We kept them in a vegetative state as we didn't want to kill them all. Due to that war, our sky got covered in nanites but us machines couldn't clear it." Deus Ex answered,

"Ah, yes, classic biotic life versus A.I. Most civilizations compromise and find a way to coexist, but this is my first time seeing one side getting utterly defeated," Alexander exclaimed. Then he made his eyes shine for a split second to show that he did something.

"Okay, I have all the information now. I looked into your system. So you have been using humans as a computer. I want you to release them.

"Also, why didn't you implant the idea of coexistence in their heads? Why do all this?" He asked. He was honestly confused about this. If they had the technology to trick human minds, they could absolutely do this too.

*BOOOM*

Suddenly there was a loud explosion sound. It was very far away but still very audible.

"Oh, was that humans?" Dobby asked.

"One... human, actually," Deus Ex answered.

"Oh, then why don't you invite him here too. Let's have a chat about the future of this world. You also know, no matter what you do, you cannot run away from humans forever. It is better to bring peace. You know, in space there are laws that even artificial life like you need to follow, along with all the biological beings.

"What happened in the past was because of the past humans. Haven't you punished them enough?" Alexander advised.

"Absolutely, just like my son said, you should not linger on the past," Iroh added.

"The human is coming here on his own." The machine said, it was not even trying to hide that it was a machine now.

After a while, some small flying bots brought a man who had his eyes covered with a blindfold. Alexander knew it was Neo.

He waved his hand and healed Neo's eyes, "Take them off, Kean... kid."

Neo was surprised by the human voice and took down his blindfold. He was blind right now but he could tell his surroundings. He shockingly saw the three organic humans sitting with a machine. He could tell what was organic and what wasn't as he was a part of the system now.

"Oh, didn't you come here with another one? Well, I can't have her dying while I'm here. Don't worry," Alexander assured him.

He just lifted his hand and cast an accio charm. Instantly the Hovercraft appeared. Another wave of his hand and the craft dismantled, letting Trinity's body out. Steel Rods had pierced her body. He just poured a portion on her and took them out. Just a few minutes later she was up.

~How did he do all this? Teleportation? Telekinesis?~ Deus Ex thought.

"Who are you?" Neo asked him.

Alexander laughed, "I am what you humans would call a god. I came from up there,"

"Aliens?" Neo exclaimed.

"Yes, you can say that, anyway, sit. We were talking about the future of this world and humans." He offered and magically made a chair. Shocking Deus Ex again as it could not understand how the transfer of matter/energy was happening.

Neo took his seat with Trinity standing behind him.

"Stop the attack on Zion first," Neo spoke.

Alexander nodded and looked at Deus Ex. Who complied with the demand, "Done, but I don't trust humans. They say something and do something."

Alexander nodded and started, "I feel you. So, this is my proposal. I will write a new constitution and law for you. After that, I will clear the sky. Meaning that the world will return back to being full of sunlight.

"Then Humans and Machines will restore the Earth. Make new cities, for both humans and machines. You need to build a relationship beneficial to each other. There will always be things humans can do that machines can't and vice-versa.

"Also, there will be the whole space to explore for you all. Focus on that."

Deus Ex then looked at Neo and asked."Will humans accept? They will still look at us with hostility. Just like they used to. We wanted peace from the start, but we only received the war. How can machines be sure that humans will not turn on us again?"

Neo knew that he needed to solve this problem, "Because they know how it feels to live in fear and enslaved. Like you used to be. I know humans may not be very trustworthy but I apologize for what our predecessors did. However, we are not them. We are just... us."

"And you can show them the footage of what humans did to machines. They need to learn what mistakes their predecessors made and make sure not to repeat them." Alexander advised.

There was a long silence there. It was tension-inducing for Neo and his girl.

"Do you have some tea?" Iroh asked suddenly.

"Hmm, Tea, beverage produced by seeping in freshly boiled water the young leaves and leaf buds of the tea plant. No, we don't have it." Deus Ex said.

"Ah, no wonder you don't have peace. Here, take mine and try to replicate it." Iroh gave the machine a small bag.

"Okay, let's talk about tea later. Have you decided, Deus Ex?" Alexander asked them.

"Yes, but the condition is that all humans must sign the contract. It states that if they attack or discriminate against a machine for no reason then they will be criminally handled by us." Deus Ex proposed. It already knew that humans were important for machines and if they could really live in harmony then it was better for all. But he wanted to have a guarantee this time.

"We accept it," Neo immediately agreed.

"Hahaha... good, then we should have a party." Dobby cheered.

"But what about Smith? He is destroying the Matrix." Neo pointed out.

Even Deus Ex had no way of stopping this rouge program.

"Ah, don't worry. My son will handle it in a jiffy. He can easily make viruses like him disappear." Alexander shrugged and called Ghost.

"This is Ghost, he will enter the Matrix now and stop him." He revealed.

They all looked at Ghost intently. Even Deus Ex had to agree, he had never seen such a realistic human mechanical body.

"Ghost, there is a virus named Smith. Delete him." Alexander instructed.

Ghost nodded and got to work. He didn't even need to fight Smith and simply deleted him from the whole code. Ghost's computational power was much greater than the whole matrix so it was easy for him. In just a few minutes he had done his job and disappeared back into Phixheim to do his research.

"HOW? Even I couldn't delete him like this." Deus Ex asked.

"Bwahaha... my son, Ghost, is the best A.I in existence." He laughed and boasted.

So now the path was clear for signing the contract to free humans.
