Zion & The Truce
So I can't find this Live Event thread yet. However, Niobe (or maybe Ghost) said that Neo brought them a few years to build New Zion (this was said after the Truce fell).
I was thinking about that today, and I have to wonder, did Zion abuse The Truce? I mean why build a new fortified city during peace time? Couldn't Zion spent that energy in trying to work towards a mutual existence on the surface?

RE: Zion & The Truce
Both sides abused the truce. It's been mentioned before that both sides were in a cold war state during the truce. One of the things the Machines did was implant Programs into both bluepills and redpills alike to spy on Zion. They also created the Cypherite organization. And they used the time under the truce to map out Zion's safehouses, networks, and various other resources in the Matrix, which they hit hard when the truce fell.
And there's a few missions where they covertly did things against Zion. Here's one where they secretly implanted viruses into Zion systems that could be activated by remote in case the truce fell. And in this mission they implanted listening devices to keep a better watch on Zion. The really kicker is this one where they killed two Zion operatives that had sensitive information on an Agent, and left behind some fake RSIs to make it look like an Exile attack.
I'm sure elements on both sides wanted peace, but it seems clear that both were very wary of the other.

RE: Zion & The Truce
I think you are all forgetting........The Machines Built Zion, after the fifth "One" . Zion expanded,the faith of the human race and Morpheus made the truce possible, by finding Neo, the Sixth , who made one big mistake by combining code with Agent Smith, which created The Smith Virus, which Neo defeated and saved both Man, and Machine.
(*Wheres the Love?*)
Call it , providence, or Preservation. I dont care, the war continues, but perhaps thats its purpose.
The truce was a form of control all along, Neo both saved the truce and created the climax in tensions between the orgs to destroy it.
Regardless of the fact the truce was meant to be broken since mankind as a whole would never fully accept the truth of their existence and with sufficient time we have proven that.
