Ah I see. Well as Neo said there is some truth in your fiction and some fiction in your truth. Not to disrespect your words but there a few things that you may be confused on or do not know. As you said EPN should do just as those NPCs did and they do. However thanks to people confusing us with a group wanting what Morpheus wanted alot of things have happend to take away from this image. As you said code bombs. Michael, Shimada, and all lLOs of sound mind know that Neo would not approve of the use of code bombs. Many times Michael has said this, here and here being the best to look at. Neo wanted peace and he gave us peace but he also wanted everyone to be given the right to choose to live in the matrix or the real. EPN only wishes to offer these people that choice.

I apologize for stereotyping all EPN to do this. There are bad eggs in all division of people, as u stated, of sound mind. But sterotypes are made because of actions taken, and I wish they wouldn't of had to be made. Another stereotype that has formed is the one of redpills allying with machines, meaning me. I beleive the original creation of EPN, with some minor edits, wants the same thing as the machines, basically, we both want peace and longevity. The agents of the system only act forcefully when redpills act outside the safe-system softwares. As the architect's "job" in the matrix, is to balance the equation, a new variable is added, so he derives something to remove the variable. If EPN thinks of machines being the "illness" of the humans, then you are not living the way Neo would want. Neo gave his life so the the human race could live on. Neo realized the matrix was neccessary, and until everyone realizes that, no strides toward anything good will be done.

Wrong. The very definition of the word agrees with the second highlighted portion, but also includes others:
proph‧et /ˈprɒfɪt/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[prof-it] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation -noun 1.a person who speaks for God or a deity, or by divine inspiration. 2.(in the Old Testament) a.a person chosen to speak for God and to guide the people of Israel: Moses was the greatest of Old Testament prophets. b.(often initial capital letter) one of the Major or Minor Prophets. c.one of a band of ecstatic visionaries claiming divine inspiration and, according to popular belief, possessing magical powers. d.a person who practices divination. 3.one of a class of persons in the early church, next in order after the apostles, recognized as inspired to utter special revelations and predictions. 1 Cor. 12:28. 4.the Prophet, Muhammad, the founder of Islam. 5.a person regarded as, or claiming to be, an inspired teacher or leader. 6.a person who foretells or predicts what is to come: a weather prophet; prophets of doom. 7.a spokesperson of some doctrine, cause, or movement.
5 and 7 describe Morpheus, I would say.
"We are used to it and most of us do wish that those incidents had never happend." The very idea that people can be inspired to violence by an organization acting in Neo's name is enough to bring the entire organization into serious doubt. Until such time as the Kid reins in his idiot followers and EPN stops attracting lunatics and zealots, it will always be an organization of violence. Sure, he took a step in the right direction, trying to ban people like Dezreki - but did he accomplish a thing? Did he manage to compensate the families of the bluepills who died in any way after the bombings? Or did he promote someone unstable and foolish to be his liaison, only to have it blow up in his face?
If you must know kelly on the 18th members of EPN not onyl gatherd around hardlines in memory of Neo but gatherd from all instances in front of Camon church in memory of those that died a month ago that day in TaeCross' bombings. While there is nothing we could do that would be able to bring those back that died or sooth there pain it is the least we could do and most accepted it as an apology.
But as I have said before there are members of all groups that are inspired to violance in the name of there order and EPN is not the only one. Zion gave Miorpheus the rank of captain and continued to let him have his rank and even suported his zealoty and fantic ideals. Machines daily have rouge elements that leave there serveces to follow there own goals becomeing exiles and likely causeing harm to the system and those that depend on it. The Merovingian had to take control over Ookami and Malphus to keep them from killing innocents when they tried to overthrow him and even still they retain there ranks while deep down loathing the Merovingian and waiting for a moment to attack and least we forget the Sleepwalkers.
All groups have there own forms of radicals all dealing just as much damamge to bluepills as the next. The only difrence is press coverage.

In the darkness a man came to Zion and said ...
"I will find the One, and the One shall save us."
His words were true.
He spoke prophesy. He spoke of the coming of the One.
Some would label Neo the Prophet. But he is not. He is the saviour.
He spoke no prophesies .. for that was not his path.
Some would label the Oracle the Prophet. But she is not.
She is the answerer of questions and the keeper of secrets.
He is known by many names... the Prophet... the Seeker... and many others.
But he is Morpheus.
Look how you fight amongst yourselves over the meaning of words.
How can any of you claim to know the will of Neo?
I say "Find him ... and we will ask him ourselves."
But the Savior is hidden... and the Prophet who spoke of the coming of the One seeks once more.
Neo did not save just humanity. Neo saved everyone. Human. Machine. Program.
We are one ... and yet we are three.
I think ... therefore I am.

Change is coming for EPN. Things are soon going to make a turn for the better. The way they should have been before the Morpheus followers joined in.

I remember when EPN was formed.
I remember who it was that fought at the side of Morpheus and searched for Neo in the early days after the Truce. I have seen the Echo of Neo.
Michael Popper was not there.
The followers of Morpheus are more than the few who speak vocally in public like I do. They are more than one person, one fleet, one group. We are many.
We remember who brought us Neo. We remember who had faith when no other but the Heart of Neo did. Not even Neo himself.
It is not followers of Morpheus you should cast blame on for the state of your group Yahweh. Most of us have let you follow your path in silence. We aid you when we can. We fight shoulder to shoulder with you.
And then you reject us. Those who fought at the side of Morpheus.
Not all of the Kids followers think as you do Yahweh.
Neo was willing to risk everything and do the impossible to save his friend ... Morpheus ... and through that selfless act he learned to believe in himself. The hard way. Neo may have been reborn ... but he did not know this would happen. He gave his life for Morpheus.
We are willing to do the same. We will keep struggling and searching not only for Neo but Morpheus as well. That is the message I bring. The goal we ALL should be striving for. Whether you are EPN or Zionite.
Only Morpheus survived of those who found Neo.
Trinity, Apoc, Switch, Mouse, Cypher, Tank, Dozer. All dead.
Now some say Morpheus as well. Some say even Neo.
The truely wise are not afraid to say "I do not know. Teach me."
May Trinity, the Heart of Neo, watch over you.
Sapientia, Vires, Veneratio.
