Meh, my favorite theory right now is that it's lost mission NPCs trying to path to the world origin. Unlike Slums and International, in Downtown, the world origin point is inaccessible.

Hm, I see Walrus brightened the image up a tad, as he is wont to do (he always says my shots are too dark :ppp). A nice thought, but in this case it gives a distorted impression of the gun texture tweak. Here's the larger and unretouched o...

Wait, wait, brainstorm. Better write this down here before I forget. Chapter 12.1: Morpheus returns, has Smith's babies.

I thought they meant that he didn't know about Neo and Trinity attacking the building. Smith had taken his earpiece off, so he wouldn't have heard the news yet.
