Dimitri, here's just one example of a conversation from the Enter the Matrix game. It explains some of Sati, and why the Oracle had to get another 'shell'.
If you look back to a post in the OT Forum this afternoon for a post about watching Revolutions (it's a 3-pager), and look at the last post. I posted a little more about Sati, including some of my own personal deductions.
Conversation in Enter the Matrix:
Ghost : Can you tell me what happened to you?
Oracle : Two programs that I trusted sold the termination code of my original shell to the Merovingian.
Ghost : Why did they do that?
Oracle : For love [emphasis mine]. For the life of their child.
Ghost : You knew about it, and yet you let it happen?
Oracle : I had to.
Ghost : Why?
Oracle : Because the child is important. I can't tell you why, but I believe one day, the child will change both our world and your world forever.
Ghost : Is that why you called for me?
Oracle : No. I am trying to prepare those that stand in the front lines of our coming trial. We stand upon the edge of a precipice, the fall from which we will not return. Each of us must find courage, when we are most afraid to do what we must. That is our only hope.
Machines that Love. Arguably a primary reason why Neo would suddenly feel a sort of 'pity' for the machines/programs when he realized that in the Train Station and come to the realization that he needs to save both, not just the Humans.
