Decoding Q's "Pickle" statement.
Pickle is a marker pointing to the movie Matrix Reloaded, specifically the scene with Neo and the Oracle.
Here is the short transcript between Neo and the Oracle. Neo represents Anons and the Oracle represents Q.
The scene perfectly describes the relationship between Q and ourselves, and the degree of doubt and faith that comes along with the plan.
Neo: … that could mean you are a part of the system, another kind of control.
Oracle: Keep going
Neo: I suppose the most obvious question is, how can I trust you?
Oracle: Bingo! It is a PICKLE, no doubt about it. Bad news is THERE'S NO WAY IF YOU CAN REALLY KNOW WHETHER I'M HERE TO HELP YOU OR NOT, so it's really up to you. Just have to make up your own damn mind to accept what I'm going to tell you or reject it.
…
Oracle: You didn't come here to make the choice, you already made it. You're here to try to understand why you made it. I thought you would have figured that out by now.
Neo: Why are you here? Why help us?
Oracle: We're all here to do what we are all here to do. I'm interested in one thing, Neo, the future. And believe me I Know, the only way to get there is together.
