"MORPHEUS!" shouted Tank. "I'll be there in a moment!" Morpheus called back. After a few minutes of waiting, Tank banged his fist on the console and exclaimed impatiently, "Damn! What the fuck's is taking him so long?!"

Just then, someone leapt down from the hole above and didn't even bother using the ladder. "Here I am," he said. "Morpheus…" Tank said, "What took you so long?" "Nothing, I was just having a discussion with Neo and Trinity." Tank snickered. "Enough of that. I'm not telling you any more than you should know," said Morpheus, looking quite uncomfortable. He snickered again. Feeling her should change the subject, Morpheus asked, "Now, what was it you wanted to tell me?"

This time, Tank was furious. "There was trouble at Edison Street and what were you doing?! Talking about love with Trin and Neo! Geez! Three Agents were spotted near a shopping center and seconds later, it blew up. Of course, no one saw them, but the Matrix Code never lies. And guess what? They're blaming 'the great terrorist' who calls himself Morpheus for the loss of that building! We could've stopped them, Morph!" said Tank.

"Look Tank, I don't… hey, how did you find out what I was talking about?" asked Morpheus.

"Ohh, that. Nothing's a secret around here. Trackball the big blabbermouth took care of that. He's the one who told me you're going to be the best man at Trin and Neo's wedding. So I assume whatever you're talking to them about are about their 'never-ending' romance," said Tank, smirking like he's the King of the World.

"Tank… Tank, I'm so sorry. I'll send Neo to eliminate them the next time we see them. I'm really, really sorry for putting social activities above our top priority. And plus, I'm the leader on this ship, aren't I? Now, Tank, be a good lookout and scan for any Agent activity in the Matrix," said Morpheus, smiling and slapping Tank on the back, "And I'll get Neo to standby, in case he needs to plug-in any time soon.

"Sure thing, bossman. I'm sorry too, for shouting at you. Anyone can make a mistake. That's what makes us humans special compared to the machines. No one is perfect. I believe even the Agents make mistakes. Take Smith for example. He had a chance to kill Neo but he waited. He waited for the train to come so his ego would be boosted. He met his demise because of it," said Tank. He added, "Gee, do we have nothing moreto do here than talking…?" He looked up to see that no one's there. "Damn…" he cursed.

Neo rushed in. "Shit! Three Agents… seen at the place… Smith exploded," he said, panting. Obviously he ran a long way. "Plug me… in… now!" he said hysterically. "Okie dokie. Didja get your pants on too tight?" Tank asked, punching in some commands on the console. Neo sat on the ratty old chair and lied back, while Tank jabbed the sharp needle-like plug into the back of his head.

He appeared in a phone booth. Immediately, three Agents rush toward him. All three are new faces to Neo. New knowledge filled his mind. He didn't know how, but everything known about those three are in his mind.

New snapped his head toward the Agents, his gaze glued on them. He tensed up his muscles, then calmly shifted into a defensive posture. The trio was about to shoot him, when all of a sudden, a silhouetted figure walked in their direction. Neo sensed something very familiar about that figure.

The Agents fired at it but it soon disappeared again. Neo directed three energy balls at them, then he ran… ran like no other can.
