Welcome, Mnemasyne. I look forward to saying goodbye.
I'm sure we'll run into each other during the next illegal EPN activity.
I look forward to fighting by your side to extend to those still sleeping a choice.
Yeah, sorry, If I wanted a tacky Trinity clone I'd have asked the Machines who have her to make me one.
Call me back when EPN brings in a real human being
As the timeline of your organization's lifespan quickly dwindles, just remember who runs this simulation.
I want you to dwell on the memory of the moment you first asked the question - when you first realized the world around you was a lie. Remember... Remember how unsettling that felt. Remember how much it meant to know the truth - the splinter in your mind, driving you mad. You pursued it and it led you out. You saw the truth with your own eyes. You were fortunate enough to see Zion. Some left for one reason or another, but this remained the last human city. It stood for years against assault after assault from the Machines, and still stands because of Neo. We exist because of him. The agreement he reached with the Machines allows us to give others a choice - a chance to find the answer, just as you and I sought. We are still being deceived and controlled, however. Some stand to destroy us and undermine everything we exist and stand for. We cannot be afraid of them. We rejected the Matrix and we must reject the lies that keep us in fear of our brothers and sisters, as well as the Machines. We must remind ourselves of this. Neo never stopped searching for the truth and neither should we. We must remember him and why we fight. The Matrix still has you.
This statement intrigues me for several reasons. When EPN first came about, it seemed to me to be stuck in a "lost" direction. Some said that EPN was misguided. I tend to disagree, believing that EPN is lacking guidance.
If you truly wish to aid your organization, specifically with public understanding of your goals and objectives, it would be beneficial to attempt to get some sort of mission statement out for everyone to see, if not from Michael then from you, Mnemasyne.
I believe that many of us have spent little time remembering as you have encouraged us to do in the first paragraph of your message. This is the kind of thing that, at first, also drew me to speak with you. Remembering and pondering why we are here, where we came from, and of course Neo's efforts is something that perhaps we should do or come to terms with periodically. In this way, we can remain fresh in mind and action with who we really are and have become.
The second and third paragraphs of your statement are what really of concern to me. As I mentioned before, a clear and direct message putting forward EPN's true goals are necessary to dispatch any misconceptions of the EPN group. Past actions have put a vast strain on any peaceful relations between EPN and any of the organizations. If EPN truly wishes to remember Neo, you must also remember that Neo sought freedom AND peace, not simply a chaotic and philosophical freedom that, as many believe from past EPN actions, can be almost instantly achieved through violence and bluepill death.
I admire your eagerness to work with the organizations, not only officially in an official capacity but also with individual members. I leave you with these thoughts: Perhaps the truth is not all that is necessary to attain true freedom. And perhaps the "truth" is not the same for all beings, whether flesh, metal, or code.
Your dedication to misrespresenting and otherwise tarnishing the reputation of your proclaimed 'saviour' is the most impressive aspect of your dogma.... Like all fanatics the rest of us will be better of with your dead and I am going to have a lot of fun facilitating that fate with extreme predjudice.... ttfn!
