He thinks a bit and looks at Rade...
Hes right....this guy has to have some reason for letting us in here.
"Whats the deal Meltius. No bullshit...spit out. We dont have time for these games. All your crap is just getting on our nerves. You want somehting say it.....Cause although it may not be helping the situation, were really pissed right now...."
Melitus smiles.
"It so happens that everything has a purpose, of course, even if it and everyone around it is unaware of it. Yes, I do have a purpose with you, but none of this means anything without choice. All of you must choose what happens next, for up until this point you have exercised no choice at all. From the moment the Persepolis began its observation of system security you were following a path laid out by me.
"And what is the matter, Castor? Losing faith?"
"That is not a decision you can reasonably understand or take until you appreciate the full situation. You need to understand what has happened until this point. What you think has been going on, and that you have been doing, is a fake- an artifice, an affectation, an illusion, like everything in this world."
"Only Jericho is being a dick, os we cant talk to him. Incidentally were bakc her with you. We understand that Jericho is not dead. Dead people cannot walk in the matrix, so he must be a live somewhere. Where is beyond us. Obviously he doesnt want to be found. We know that you are a machine and your ties to the machine world may be keeping him and his crew alive....We came to find that out, but yo have us hre for a purpose all your own ne?"
Castor looked at Meltius.
"Of course you do, if you ddint need us we probably wouldnt be here right now.. So you need us and we need you...The choice ahead of us seems to be whether or not we will go through with what you want of us. After all you pan on killing us anyways, so what really is the purpose?"

"the only choice i will make, dear sir" says Rade "is the choice of leaving the matrix as soon as i can. Now...what that choice implies, i leave for you to say.."
"Wrong," says Melitus. "Assuming you ever leave the Matrix again you will have considerable choices to consider before that point, and the choice you will soon face is only the most obvious of them. Then again, you do have a problem with choice, don't you?"

"What did you mean, losing faith...."
"What I say," says Melitus. "it's what worries you, after all. You worry you will be useless. A very reasonable worry for someone in your position to have, I might add, seeing as there is very little difference you can make to anything."

"If it was not for you to decide, it would hardly be a choice," says Melitus. "And choice is at the heart of all that we do. Ironic that you may do things right without even realising it," says Melitus.
Actually, Rade, she led you to Ni Zhan. Odd that Melitus thinks something different of why you went there.
(Castor- actually... nonetheless, Melitus' words bug you, and you are sure there is a good reason for it)
"Well now, that is simple," says Melitus. "I hardly just sent you notes asking to come here, did I? Just because I knew something would happen does not mean I can simply skip all the things that make it so. I did not personally lead you to Ni Zhan. But I DID leave Ni Zhan there for you to find him."
"Of course I know," says Melitus. "And this IS the point of all this, and if only you stopped to coinsider things you would appreciate that. How can you take a choice, without understanding? That you trust her is, of course, your own concern. But I must ask- what is it about her you trust? What, after all, has she done for you?"
