The Matrix Mystery Cache

Wake up Neo …
The Matrix has you …
Follow the white rabbit …

Your name is Thomas A. Anderson. You are a computer programmer that leads a secret life as a hacker under the alias "Neo". You are driven mad by the question: "What is the Matrix?"

"Welcome Neo, as you no doubt have guessed, I am Morpheus…. I imagine that right now you are feeling a bit like Alice, tumbling down the rabbit hole…Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain, but you feel it. You felt it your entire life, that there is something wrong with the world. You don't know what it is, but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad… Do you want to know what the Matrix is?"

"It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. The truth that you are a slave Neo. Like everyone else you were born into bondage, born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch. A prison for your mind. Unfortunately no one can be told what the Matrix is, you have to see it for yourself.
This is your last chance, after this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes"

"We don't know the exact year, but we estimate it to be around 2199. The world as it was in 2010 now exists only as part of a neuro-interactive simulation that we call the Matrix. You've been living in a dream world Neo. This is the world as it exists today. Welcome to the dessert of the Real."

"We have only bits and pieces of information, but what we know for certain is that at some point in the early 21st centaury all of mankind was united in celebration. We marvelled at our own magnificence as we gave birth to A.I. Artificial Intelligence , a singular consciousness that spawned an entire race of machines. We don't know who struck first, us or them, but we do know that it was us that scorched the sky. At the time they were depended on solar power, and it was believed that they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun."

"Throughout human history we have been dependant on machines to survive. Fate it seems is not without a sense of irony. The human body generates more bio electricity than a 120 volt battery, and over 25000 btu's of body heat. Combined with a form of fusion, the machines have found all the energy they would ever need. There are fields, endless fields where human beings are no longer born, we are grown.
What is the Matrix? Control. The matrix is a computer generated dream world, built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into this…"

Morpheus believes you are "The One". If you truly are, you would be able to see the Matrix below for what it really is. The coordinates for the portal between the Matrix and the Real World can be found just below the Matrix.

In the Matrix you are bound to work, pay taxes, worry about school fees, and complain about the recession. You will live your life as you always did, and not know any better. You will wake up tomorrow morning, and face the prospect of another hour in traffic. And the machines will be watching you.

But in the Real World you will go caching. You will find great caches all over the world. Because you are The One you will not have DNFs. You will always be nearby when a new cache shows up, and go on to log one FTF after another. You will write logs next to cool mountain streams and in the shade of old Cork Oak trees. You will visit all those hidden away places that the people in the Matrix do not know about. Puzzle Ridge will be a breeze, and all Kloof Corners will be easy. And you will be master over the machine, that small handheld and those big birds high up in the sky.
