Heh, Kojenta got pwnt....
Interesting...
Sorry for double posting but, what was the point of that? o.O
Then again what was the point in my post? What's the point in this whole story?
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE!

I miss the Smith event...
Although I'm not Zion, I've always found Niobe to be probably the best conversational LE character. She's probably the most interactive serious character (non-serious probably goes to Effy) and events like these are pretty impressive. Granted it wasn't to a large access, but in my opinion I find those to be the best kind.
Thanks to Kojenta and XCythe for not acting like total idiots. <3
Interesting development, if this program can only remember times when Morpheus was plugged into the Matrix, could it be possible that he remembers the feelings...it's hard to believe such fervor and dedication to Zion would be lost so easily...
Wake up. Sleep has gripped you again. Wake up. What is it the Machines fear? Wake up. Who is really in control?
Are you thinking what i'm thinking, Zane?
I'm proud of my faction mates Mumbley1 and Kojenta from The Black Code, but worried about our future as a Zion.
Though only a copy, I resepect him much more than the real deal. He seems more thoughtful and less rash than his predecessor.
I'll continue to watch him with much interest.
It's interesting that the Morpheus sim abandoned his original purpose (to search for a new or better one, it seems), while the original Morpheus could not let go of his.

What the simulacrum said is what I've been saying all along, the Machines do have emotions or instincts, even if they do not fully comprehend and display them. The decisions made by 01 were as a result of not wanting to die and their actions speak many words of trying to prevent their own destruction in the most logical way. Even if they were thinking in possible outcomes of Zion's building a fortified city...I, like many of us, think that if the Machine is making assumptions and "feels" fear because of it, the concept of using that information to terminate operatives is highly feasible. Again not certain, but feasible nevertheless.
I have not heard Machines stating that they will use the data in the archive to kill anyone, yet that is what Zionites are suggesting. Has it occurred to you that the Machines may just decide to isolate the signals and possibly prevent those operatives from gaining access to the Simulation?
Of course we both have our own viewpoints on what the Machines and Zion want and these viewpoints have been laid out many times before.
((Credit where credit is due to Kojenta and Mumbley and Rare. The continued Agent attacks only enhanced the whole event and the related conversation actually moved the story along well and IC, well done, I enjoyed this scene!))
The real Morpheus didn't want peace, he wanted Neo's body back. And he killed bluepills with codebombs when he tried to blackmail the Machines into doing what he wanted.
Those are not the actions of a man who wants peace.

You can write him off as as terrorist, just like the rest of us. But then again, most machinists don't see our actions since the end of the truce as those of men and women who want peace anyway.The real Morpheus didn't want peace, he wanted Neo's body back. And he killed bluepills with codebombs when he tried to blackmail the Machines into doing what he wanted.
Those are not the actions of a man who wants peace.

((or maybe the morpheus simu may join the merv, i mean is the most powerful organization of his kind, someway, programs that dont follow the machines orders and just try to find some shelter or purpose after of their exile
Starschwar predicts:
Chapter 8 ends with Morpheus choosing to aid neither side, but instead joins up with the Mystery Man, who also happens to know the true purpose of the pods / machine power.
