The Mainframe
The Matrix is a vast program, with a vast mainframe. Only those who can access the mainframe can have total control over the Matrix. But this mainframe can only be accessed from the surface of the Real World.
The mission of the hovercraft, the Panther, was to get to this mainframe and hack in to free the people of the Matrix.
The Panther was a fast and agile craft, with gun turrets and a powerful EMP to rid the area of sentinels and other AI controlled machines.
The crew of the Panther was small, but highly skilled. The captain – Ethereal – was a highly respected captain within the fleets from Zion. He was an adept at kung fu, and could focus very well. His senses bordered on precognition, he could get away from Agents quickly.
The operator, Surrealist, could hack into the Matrix quicker than Morpheus' operator, Link. Surrealist could load up anything quickly and had the fastest fingers at typing – which meant faster programs and loading. Surrealist created his own construct, which is used by many ships to load things into the Matrix quickly through shortcuts and links.
The two that entered the Matrix, along with Ethereal, were Delete and Search.
Delete was a fast driver and very agile. He could take on multiple enemies and drive very quickly and also reliably.
Search was a great marksman and often laid covering fire for the crew. Search operated the gun turrets and has marked up thousands of sentinel kills and has once nearly deleted an Agent.
So this was the small crew that was to try and free everyone from the Matrix and finally end the AI rule over the earth and claim back what was once the animals' and humans' world.
The Panther was nestled in the sewage pipes that lead to Zion, it was about 4 am and most of the crew were asleep apart from Search and Ethereal. Ethereal was checking the maps to see what was the best route to the surface to where the Mainframe was rumoured to be. Search was watching the radar to see if any machines were coming.
The ship was eerily quiet, except for the constant hum of the electricity generator and the hiss from the air conditioning. Search looked around the cabin, the equipment for hacking into the Matrix was all there, the chairs, the computers, everything. The lights were off in the ship to save energy, apart from in the bridge where Search and Ethereal were. Ethereal looked up from his maps.
"Shit! Search! Get to the guns!" He shouted quickly after seeing the radar. He jumped up and hit the alarm button. A wailing noise echoed into the dark regions of the ship and the emergency lights lit up.
Search jumped, "Shit!" he shouted and he ran to the ladder that leads to the gun turrets - one gun turret controlled all that were in range of the target. Search activated the machine guns and the infrared target sights. In the sight five white sentinels clearly could be seen. As they came Search opened fire. Bullets ricocheted around the tunnels and a sentinel dropped to the ground and exploded.
Inside the ship, the crew who had had a rude awakening ran to the bridge. Delete activated the Panther's engines. The hovercraft rose, the purple light from the engines illuminating the tunnel for miles. As Search blasted fire at the sentinels something struck the ship…
