  1. Victor recently returned to the Well.
  2. Recently, all the secret cells of the resistance started getting eliminated.
  3. Word on the street is that the Matrix was eliminating them.
  4. Victor contacted the Hippocrates crew and asked them to meet at the site of the last murdered cell to see if they could help him.
  5. The only ones who know all the cells are Victor and Mother, according to Victor.
  6. The pattern of eliminations was that cells kept breaking cover, coming to places like this terrible deathtrap of a warehouse, and being gunned down. They came because they believed they were being contacted by Victor and told to come.
  7. Katya was unable to read Victor's mind in most of her attempts, except for one brief read in which he seemed sincere and ignorant of how the ambushes were being set up.
  8. In order to contact Mother, Ace & Anya took Victor to a cybercafe, where he went to the third cube on the left, switches ethernet cables, and sends mail to Mother.
  9. Hippocrates got an email from a throwaway address saying that resistance cell 27-B has been contacted by Victor and told to go to a particular construction site.
  10. By the time the robot was returned to the Hippocrates and examined, whatever might have been in it was wiped and the combat shticks were all broken. The robot proved to be a high-end animiform robot, with a very nice positronic computer in the chest, capable of storing a small AI even.
  11. The robot was originally built about three years ago, minus combat buffs, and with a smaller processor. About a year and a half ago, it had the combat buffs installed, as well as a larger processor. About three months ago, it had a new face and voice synthesizer implemented.
  12. The robot's purpose was to impersonate Victor Lazlo to the Resistance.
  13. Before we got ahold of the robot, it had personal connections partly to the Matrix and partly to Khan, and partly to a group of three guys: Hoa Dudden, Delmer Menchen, and Willard Wetherbee.
  14. When I sent two men to investigate the names Khan, Hoa Dudden, Delmer Menchen, and Willard Wetherbee, they turned up legally terminated within 24 hours. Legal murder is usually implies Citizen action (or higher).

Based on that, I think...

There's an AI, or something close to it, on the Matrix's side agaisnt the Resistance. It's probably named Khan. Mother is clearly very computer savvy, but Khan probably got at some of her data at some point, including information on the cells. Whatever hole was is probably closed again, or the later contact with Mother would have blown the mission. Khan probably knows the Hippocrates crew is looking for him.
