The Real Reason
She pulled on her pants and buckled up her boots. It was around 3am, they couldn't know for certain though, and the sentinels were attacking the Neb for the fifth time in a month, Trinity started turning the wheel on the door but before she could open it the voice of her lover came from the bed. "Where are you off to at this hour? You said you didn't have a shift tonight." Trinity turned round to see the man she loved on his side and facing her, but he was still drowsy, having only just woken.
"I've got go and help Morpheous, sentinels are nearing for another attack and we have to have EMP charged and ready, and I've got to help him pilot it to a safe place. I'll be back as soon as I can, okay?" She hurried over to the bed a placed a light kiss on her lovers lips before she left the room, which had now been plunged into darkness again.
"How long before they attack?" Trinity asked Morpheous as she placed herself into the seat next to the one Morpheous was occupying.
"No more than 10 minutes. Which means we have to find a place to land the Neb before they get too close." Morpheous explained while Trinity familiarised herself with the controls. "Have you got any idea where?" Trinity said, turning to face Morpheous, he, however was still looking out of the cockpit window, so Trinity turned back round to look out of the window as well. "Just over there." Morpheous told her pointing to a dark secluded part of the path that was covered with sentinel remains, pipes, wires and cables. It took Morpheous and Trinity only a few minutes to manuever the Neb over to the place Morpheous had pointed out. Once in place Morpheous got the Neb's operator, Tank, to turn off all power on the ship and to charge the EMP, just as Morpheous got off the intercom somebody walked into the cockpit. Trinity spun round on her chair, only to come face to face with her lover. "Hey, Trin, Morpheous, how's it all going?" He said as Trinity stood up to let him take her chair. "I've just told Tank turn the power off and charge the EMP." Morpheous replied while Trinity got herself comfortable on her lovers lap, an action that Morpheous was more than used to seeing between the two. Trinity had just got herself comfortable when the lights on the ship turned off and she snuggled into her lover. Not long after a sentinel was visible through the cockpit window, and Trinity's lover tightned his grip around her. She snuggled into him in return and turned her head to look out of the window, mentally praying that everything would be okay.
