Background

Melanie’s history is lost to even her, but particularly old or experienced hackers and red pills may recall an internal attempt at destroying the Matrix. This attempt would have utilized a human-controlled malware program to gain access to The Source, though it ended in failure.

If this was Melanie, and she is not convinced that it is, then that may explain the origin of such a damaging virus. Fortunately, Melanie seems content to simply cause trouble, consuming the data of those with authorizations she lacks. She also seeks to consume beneficial lines of code, which may grant her new abilities in the Matrix.

The Agents are aware of Melanie’s existence and are authorized to enforce deletion on-sight.
