The Trainman was scared. The Merovingian had decided that with the truce broken it wasn't safe to keep their Neo fragments in the matrix, he had ordered that the trainman take some of them to the machine world. Even the four guards didn't make him feel safe, there were people from Zion and the Machine factions who would send in dozens of people if they knew he had parts of the One in a box under his arm.
"I'll be ok once I'm on the train, I'm strong there" he whispered
"You say something Trainman" inquired the nearest guard
"Shut up and keep your eyes open."
The N3O AG3NTS had been following from the rooftops for some time. They had known the previous location of the fragments and now they followed the Trainman planning to take their best opportunity to acquire the traces of the One. The leading program hoped he had made the right choice.
Three N3O AG3NTS watched the front of the building. This was where the Merovingian kept his One fragments and they watched for any opportunities. They had been watching for 3 years and during that time 2 had surveyed the area while the third kept a communications line open.
N3o Ag3nts had never been named and most didn't bother concocting them for themselves, it was usual to simply talk in a manner that made clear who you where speaking to.
The leading agent spoke, "Send a report" as he watched the Trainman and the Twins get out of cars and enter the building. "Possibility of obtaining fragments, threat of removal of fragments from system, Trainman and twins arriving, will require back up"
The largest one spoke, "If they come out with fragments what should we do."
"If they are in separate groups we follow the Trainman; he is a threat as well as an opportunity"
They knew it was unlikely back up would arrive before the fragments had left the building. None of them needed to say what would happen if the Twins were guarding the Trainman, the agents would die.
Barely four minutes after they entered the building, the Twins and Trainman departed, carrying metallic boxes. They turned in different directions, the Twins striking out on their own and guards joining the Trainman. They stood in a square around him one to each corner.
"We follow over the rooftops and then get ahead of them" the leader's voice betrayed none of the relief he was feeling, the four Lupine guards were not good odds but the Twins were far worse.
The Trainman's course changed and he turned down a deserted side street.
"He's going through the East subway station, we will get into the building above it before he arrives."
The station was of course an entrance to the subway system and therefore an entrance to Mobil avenue station, if you were the Trainman. The station was however rarely used, the area had suffered financial failure and as such consisted mostly of abandoned offices.
A few minutes later they were in a small office just above the entrance down to the station, a small window allowed them to look out at the street while being concealed by the blinds.
The leader told them the strategy "We surprise them, you two take down the guards in front, and then distract the others, I'll terminate the Trainman and attempt to take the fragments, if I fail to kill the Trainman that is your primary goal."
The Trainman turned the corner, his four lupine guards were ahead of him… and four vampires were behind. The other guards had been spread out in the crowd the plan was useless.
"We need a new strategy"
In the code a being stirred, once great now reduced but growing in power. "I will not let this continue".
