Aw, that's so cute.

I expect nothing less from EPN. It is a nice surprise to see Shimada taking a more of a leading role lately by actually helping out her operatives rather than leaving it to Popper. Hopefully she'll soon take one risk too many...
The same way I expect nothing less from the Machine and it's Machinists to curse his presence here, then try to talk to him and play nice when their guns don't work. Failing miserably at both combat and diplomacy.

Machines are cursing his presence everywhere; they just do whatever it takes to keep him from being pissed off. But it looks like Colt already ruined THAT, so...

Isn't that called being someones b1tch? And before you go blameing it all on Colt you might actully want to do yourself a favor and see what exactly was said to set him off and then ask yourself why.

I think we call that being someones *CENSORED*? And before you go blameing it all on Colt you might actully want to do yourself a favor and see what exactly was said to set him off.

I think we call it "covering our anus from the most ultimate being in and out of the Matrix we've encountered thus far so we don't get raped."

So your being his b1tch. Got it.

Listen, I'm not the one being his *CENSORED*. I'm not a Machine, after all. I just understand where they're coming from. You're not exactly in the losing spot here if the Intruder decides to delete the Architect, so I doubt you'd really understand.

I understand perfectly its simply that the Machine rather then man up and face the guy, they are waiting on him hand a foot, all the while trying to keep playing the same game they played with Zion and its not working for them.

As the Merv puts it cause and effect. The Machine kept someone in the dark for so long he finally got tired of it and is strikeing back for haveing the cloth put over his eyes. Maybe next time they will think about this senerio before they go trying to control everyone again.

Heh, and someone else can do better, eh? The Intruder doesn't give a flying **** about anyone but himself, and can't be touched.

*shrug* Irony, it seems.... that the Machine found someone it can't control like everyone and everything else(as Gami stated), and can't do anything about it. I think it was fairly obvious that if he can off multiple Agents at once, he's wasn't gonna go down with a handful of other Agents and a gang of humans throwing stones at him. And the fact that he's not willing to spill anything to any of us about what he's after and what he's going to do when he gets it tells me that Shimada might not be that far off.

I don't think it's so much a matter of being better at talking to him or fighting him, as none of that works anyway. I think we have to take a look at what motivates him and try to put the clues together from that to figure out where he's going with this, instead of engaging or questioning him directly. We have to look at what we do know, and we know certain things attract his interest That's all we really have to go on at this point.

How is that irony? It's just out of the ordinary, that's all.

I don't see anyone 'manning up' to face him, in fact I see a lot of scrambling to appease him in order to gain the edge on everyone else.
I see Zion answering all of his questions and having none answered back in an attempt to get on side with him, I see EPN trying to find out what he wants to find so perhaps they can attempt to use it against the Machines, I see the Merv trying to gain yet another ally and also figure out what he wants probably to attempt to increase his influence and power.
In fact the only people I see using brawn instead of brains and attempting to 'man up' to him, failing miserably and going back to fight Zionites are the Cyphs.

The Machines are trying to protect the Simulation and by extension the bluepills connected to it by doing what they can to prevent this person from doing what he can do quite easily.

Pyraci

That's all well and good for Machinist motivation, but the motives of the Machine aren't as valiant as they are made to be at times. Many people outside of the "righteous" league of Machinists see the Machine getting a problem in it's operating system that it can't control, and doing what it needs to do; not in some crusade for greater co-existence with the human race, but simply to save it's crops. It's like a slave master; protecting the slaves not because he really cares about their well-being, but because his own livelihood is threatened if he doesn't.

At this point, everybody's got investments in the Matrix. Not just the Machine or Machinists.

**machete**

Its funny how the machinists love to throw their doctrine and holier than thou attitude around and they are the most hypocritical of all. They try to kiss The Intruder's *CENSORED* and get what they can from him, and when he blows them off, they attack him for no reason but "to protect the system and the bluepills connected to it."

Last time I checked the system keeps their operatives on a need to know basis, and most times they don't need to know. Is this the thanks you get for serving the system? Keeping your operatives in the dark, and throwing them bones now and again to keep them loyal. Ah what beautiful lapdogs you guys have turned out to be. I would say you machinists are probably worse than those lapdogs that serve the merovingian.
