Man, I hate that I know this one. The scene where neo walks up and scares cypher? He's working on an auto-jack script to manage operator duties and building an escape plan. Before he turns off the screens there's also blueprints for the building where the group is later ambushed displayed, further implying he was plotting at that moment.
Edit - Operators are for when shit hits the fan to run support and adapt to the situation. The act of loading people in and out can be automated as long as there's no crazy variables to account for, like agents crashing the party.
Why
Because it's one of those useless obscure trivia things occupying valuable space in my memory banks. The Wachowskis could have done a better job establishing why Cypher was startled and this guy could focus on his anniversary.
Wouldn’t it still be in your memory banks even if it was established well?
Yeah, but then it would be something well known and not an indication of being interested in minutiae. Something that is often mocked in social situations.
You should invest heavily in matrix trivia and sale your skill to local bars having trivia nights
But that's prime sitting alone in my underwear in a decrepit den-like apartment reading fan wikis time!
neat, ill have to rewatch to verify 😅
