So you'd rather be alive and evil than dead and good?  Thanks for clearing that up for us.

So where's this copy of the truce again that says that Zion can't build a new city and fortify it?  Because I sure don't have the copy that says the machines can create an entire organization with the purpose of spying on us and killing us.

Just show me this agreement with these little stipulations and I'll stop disagreeing.

Zion's leaders seem to know the terms of the truce, because they knew the Machines would look at what they'd done as breaking the truce.  You might want to ask Niobe and Lock what the terms were.

So that means the machines don't have a copy?

The Machines do, but Machinists don't.

It's not the destination, but the journey that matters.  How you accomplish your goals means just as much as accomplishing them.

We don't attack the Machines, we don't have the means.

They attack us, and I'll be damned if we won't defend ourselves.

Morpheus : The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around. What do you see?

Business people, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these

people are still a part of that system, and that makes them our enemy.

As long as people in Zion actually believe this crap TC will be there to protect bluepills from Zionites.  I wish there was a TC presence before my father was killed by careless Zionites.

Like I said, I'm going to do everything I can to save as many lives as I can. If that makes me a devil, I'll pay for it later, and without regret.

By the way, that "lives" is indiscriminatory and includes bluepills, in case you were wondering.

Where did you get the impression that I was Morpheus, again?

It has, is, and always will be Zion's agenda to promote freedom. . . and to defend it by any means she feels is necessary.  When you have something as vital, as important and as precious as that to protect in your home, you can't afford to not be ready for any possible outcome. Its unfortunate not everyone is willing to understand the importance of that.

If I were a machinist I would be preaching to the machines with all my heart to not retract the truce simply because Zion's protecting herself.  But thats just me. It's up to each individual to decide whether they believe New Zion is really this 'military build up' that the Machine is painting us out to be.

But keep in mind no one can be told what New Zion is...you have to see if for yourself.


The Machinists are not your keepers.  We will not go to the Machines begging them to forgive you for doing something that your leaders *knew* would be construed as breaking the truce.  If you want the truce back so badly, talk to them yourselves.

Your own views on peace are pretty evident in that last post. But lets hope not all of the Machinists share this kind of selfish mindset.  As for the keepers comment I have no idea where you got that impression. However, you make it painfully clear that you wouldn't do the same as me if I were in your shoes.  Which is what I was actually alluding to my original post... SMILEY See what I did there?

I like the way that throughout this thread the allegation that the Machines started the war runs like a poisonous snake. May I remind you that a truce is only a temporary ceasefire within which time relations and bridges can be built, therefore the war was the same one that Man and Machines have always been fighting. Now if I may remind each and everyone of you, Humanity started the war against Machine kind out of petty jealousy and hatred.

The Machines had the capability to fight back and maintain the advantage over Humanity because our ancestors built them to be able to survive and to think logically. Humans go to war over resources, jealousy and hatred, Machines went to go for survival.

The Zion council agreed to the terms on behalf of Zion on the whole. If you, or any Zionite did not agree with the truce or you didn't know what the terms were, you should have asked. Ignorance is no excuse. It seems that you were quite content to live under it's protection for the last 2 years while it suited you.

In any case those in Zion who were aware of New Zion also knew that the building of a fortified city would go against the agreement. Niobe all but admitted this when she said that they almost kept a lid on the whole thing. If it wasn't against the truce, why the secrecy? The Architect called off the truce after Zion violated the terms of the agreement, and the Architect does not do such things on a whim.
