List of Ships in The Matrix Series - Pequod

• Captain: Flint
• First mate: Unknown
• Pilot: Unknown
• Operator: Unknown
• Other crew: Unknown

The Pequod was mentioned in both "There are no Flowers in the Real World" and "Hunters and Collectors". In the former story, the ship is on a rescue mission to save Rocket, a crew member jacked in aboard the Mariner after all of the other crew members had died. In the latter story, this ship has been destroyed in a Sentinel attack and the only surviving member is its captain Flint, who spends much of his time collecting artifacts from the surface to learn about human history before the Matrix.

The ship's core reads "Mark III No. 9 Made in the USA Year 2096". It could possibly be an error, because the Nebuchadnezzar was Mark III No. 11 and made in the USA Year 2069. However, Mark 3:9 reads, "And he spake unto his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him." The biblical passage indicates a proposed exit Jesus could make to "rescue" him from the crowd. The biblical passage would be an appropriate derivation for "There are no Flowers in the Real World", being that the Pequod was sent to rescue Rocket. However, if the Mark III hovercraft series was constructed in 2069, it would have been most likely retired soon after. The 2096 models might have been something similar or completely unrelated. The relation of Mark III between the Nebuchadnezzar and the Pequod is currently unknown.

The name of the Pequod is a reference to the name of Ahab's ship in the novel Moby-Dick. "Hunters and Collectors" borrows from the novel and even features it in the ruins of a surface city. The relationship to a ship called Mariner is a further reference to the novel.
