    Notice that he says "Wait, something is
    different." This is the same
    line he uses in the first movie when
    they are in the building and were
    betrayed by Mr. Reagan to Agent Smith,
    when Neo notices the cat going
    by twice... He notices that reality has
    been looped after the
    Nebuchadnezzar has been bombed and they
    are fleeing the Sentinels.

    the EMP that destroyed these sentinels
    have come from Naobi's ship that showed
    up to rescue them immediately after the
    destructive EMP like event occurred?
