I think that is what happened... Or maybe the machines didn't reach Zion, but like a defense station or something.

Yeah, as somebody else just said, they reached the counter attack point, wiped them out, and there was only one survivor.
Now, let's start with the obvious things we know about the survivor:
1.
He is the same person who tried to kill Neo in the beginning of the movie.
2.
He etched two strait parallel lines into his hand before he did that.
3.
He asked his superior officer to volunteer to look for Morpheus's ship.
And some things that (perhaps) coincide with the numbers above:
1.
There had to have been motive for him to kill Neo. Likewise, there had to be motive for the machines to spare him.
2.
Are those lines symbolic of the Roman Numberal Two? Either way, what do they stand for and what was the driving force behind doing it?
3.
He wanted to find the ship for a reason. Again, what was his motive?
If you can recall, at the counter attack, the survivor triggered an EMP blast (presumably) so that the machines could kill the Zion forces more quickly.
--------------------------------
Now, about the lines he cut into his hand. I want to know (if it is a Roman Numberal two) why he would etch them into his hand. It almost sounds cult-like to me. I almost wonder if there is some sort of prophesy or alter-religion (or perhaps cult) that he follows. Like in real life, there is not simply Christian beliefs or disbelief, nor simply Jewish beliefs or disbelief. There are middle religions. What would their motive be if such a cult did exist?
Well, I'm done for now.
PS: Can somebody figure out his name for me? I'm sick of calling him survivor...
