Why did they have to leave Zion in order to plug into the Matrix ? In Reloaded, Commander Locke gets all mad when they leave...but couldn't they have just stayed in Zion and just been on their ship and went into the Matrix to see the oracle ? Same thing at the beginning of the movie...when Morpheus asks 1 ship to "stay behind"...I mean...couldn't they just be at zion or at least outside the gates of zion when waiting for the oracle to contact them ?

Don't remember them ever being able to jack into the Matrix itself from Zion, but maybe only constructs built by humans. If they could, you remember that Morpheus was stating at the beginnning of Reloaded, "As you are aware of, it has become increasingly difficult to locate a secure broadcast station." Maybe if they were able to, their connection was being hindered by the toasters back at te city... It's like what happened when they destroyed Zion, they implanted a virus that faltered Zion's mainframe rendering it useless.

The main reason was to protect the location of Zion, and there may have been an interference issue with the depth of Zion underground, so to hack in they had to come up near the surface.

Obviously they already knew where Zion was, having destoryed it many times before and becoming... increasingly effecient at it. They already knew the machines were digging directly to Zion since they recieved the Osiris transmission

Was finding Zion not Smith's main agenda in m1?

The reason is explained in the first movie... They have to get close enough to the city to broadcast a signal to hack into the matrix.

1. It could have been a diversion from the truth... A lot of what the machines do revolves around manipulation.

Although this may be possible, it just doesn't seem to fit as much as...

2. The transmission was after Smith faced deletion, maybe they found Zion after his attempt?

I'm not exactly sure how... But I don't see reason to doubt that they knew where it was already. As Niobe stated at the beggining they were already "burrowing straight down to Zion." Also, going back to the main question from Psychoxxx... when Commander Lock complains about the Nebuchadnezzar's clearence, his concerns seem to be based on Zion's force and numbers, rather than it's concealment.

If you recall in m1 when cypher made a deal with smith which resulted in the capture of Morpheus. Now, the architect surely knew were zion was because that had previously destroyed it and facilitated it's rebuilding a number of times. But, it is evident the agents did not know, as it was smiths purpose to crack the zion code.

ding! miles of rock and iron ore and pipes and whatever else that lay between Zion and the Battery would completely disrupt any signal.
