Morpheus stared at the computer screen, watching the small green numbers move rapidly across the
screen. "There he is, Tank."
Tank looked up, "When's he getting unplugged?"
"Soon, be patient."
"I know- but we really could use another crew member."
"That's why we're unplugging Price. He's a technician. He'll help you out a lot, which means no more 24
hour shifts."
Tank sighed, "Thank God."
"I'll get Neo, it's his turn to keep watch." Morpheus turned to go.
"When will Rev start watching?"
"I'll have Trinity stay with her until she's used to it."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Neo stared groggily st the screen. Numbers, numbers, numbers. He could hardly make sense of it at this
hour. He yawned and closed his eyes.
"Sleeping on the job?"
Neo snapped awake. Trinity was standing in the doorway with one hand on her hip. "Tsk, tsk, tsk. If only
Morpheus could see this." She smiled and Neo smiled back.
"I'll relieve you, now. Rev's gonna help me."
"Help you what? Sit around? Yeah, I definitely see how she'd help you with that," he laughed. Trinity
hugged him close and whispered something in his ear.
Rev watched from the doorway across from the one Trinity had entered. "Ahem." Neo and Trinity turned
around quickly. "Did I catch you at a bad time?"
Neo blushed, but Trinity didn't flinch, "Hey Rev. You and I are on joint duty tonight."
"I know."
Neo kissed Trinity goodnight and headed off to bed.
Rev sat down and Trinity sat beside her. "Sooo," Rev started, "How long have you two been going out?"
Trinity smiled, "Oh no, we're not going out. We're just..." she couldn't think of anything to describe it-
ever since Neo had saved her life after they saved Morpheus, she knew she was in love with him. Then she said so
after he died. But then that was it. They were in love, but they weren't married and they weren't dating...they just
'were.'
"It sure looks like your going out."
"But we're not." Trinity couldn't put it more simply.
"So, Neo's available?"
Trinity scoffed, "No, he's not."
"But you're not going out..."
"Look, Rev, just drop it." She sighed and watched the monitor.
"Is there anything I need to know?" Rev asked.
"Do you know what a squid is?"
"Yes."
"Then no."
Time dragged on. Trinity rested her head on her arm and Rev leaned back in her chair. Two hours seemed
to last forever. Finally, near the end of their shift, Rev spoke again, "Trinity," she said, "Can I ask you
something?"
"What?" she said, annoyed.
"I had this dream..."
"You mean your life?"
"No, a real dream...I think."
"Oh?"
"Where's Zion?"
"Zion?" Trinity sat up.
"Yeah...I had this dream..."
"How do you know about Zion?"
"I told you- my dream. You were there- and you said Zion was falling. And Morpheus- he said that Neo
was The One...wait a minute- at my house- my old house- when I tried to shoot you, how' d he do that?"
The door swung open and Spark walked in and stretched. "Hey," he said with a yawn. "I've come to
deliver you." He smiled, his blue eyes sparkling, "My turn."
Trinity stared blankly at Rev.
"Um..." Spark looked at the two women, "Hello? I've come to relieve you?"
"Right." Trinity stood up, "Night Rev. Night Spark."
She brushed past him.
"Hey," he called after her, "No goodnight kiss? Neo gets more than that each day!"
Trinity raised her middle finger as she left and Spark smiled.
Rev laughed and stood up, "How long have you been trying?" she asked.
Spark sighed, still smiling,"Too long, Rev, too long."
