In the middle of humanity's war against machines, the leaders of the United Nations find themselves desperately trying to halt the advances of the Machines, who (in the eyes of the various governments) threatened the power bases and economies of man.
The Machines were winning the war. Looking for any way to slow the Machine's advance, scientists devise a plan to block the sun's rays from the surface of the Earth using nanites sprayed into the upper atmosphere in the hopes of cutting the Machines off from their primary power source. This "final solution" is named Operation Dark Storm[1].
While the humans are successful in "scorching the sky[2]," Operation Dark Storm fails to slow the Machines, who utterly defeat mankind to later imprison them in a virtual reality "zoo" known as the Matrix.
