A/N- Hiya-originally, this was one-shot. But since you asked for more, I'll make it a small series of events. Hope you like!

Trinity woke with a start.

She was safe. . .

Well, as safe as she could be where she was, she reasoned.

The Nebuchadnezzar had docked in some remote area; wasted metal scraps lined the floor. She was in the room assigned to her, and was relieved to find it quiet. Recently, Trinity hadn't been able to sleep well. She wiped cold sweat off her forehead, and lay back down. Five minutes passed, and still there she lay, unable to sleep, and dreading what she'd dream about if, by some miracle, she managed to get some rest. She turned over. Now, Trinity was looking at a black wall. She heaved a sigh, and sat up, deciding to look around.

As Trinity walked quietly out of the room, a faint clicking sound met her ears.

It was Dozer.

"Can't sleep?" He spoke kindly when he saw her, and paused before turning back to the screens and saying much more quietly, "Having nightmares?"

"Yeah." she said, awkwardly. She pulled up a chair, and they both sat in silence, until Trinity tried to make conversation.

"So. what are you doing?"

"Morpheus wanted me to do a check of the surrounding area. Make sure the squiddies are far enough away so we don't have to mess with them sometime when we're all sleeping."

Trinity shuddered, and drew her worn gray shirt closer to herself.

"I thought you'd be sleeping, y'know, after your fight with Morpheus today."

"Dozer, he wasn't trying hard, was he?" He sighed uncomfortably.

"Um, I'm afraid not, Trin."

"Then why-"

"He just wanted to get a good measure of how strong you were, that's all. Besides, he'd *kill* me if he found out I'd told you how to bend rules. He's suspicious you got it so quickly, anyway."

"Dozer?"

"Yeah?"

"I'll take him on again soon. I'll show him that I can be better than what he thinks of me right now."

Dozer gave her a small, one-armed hug.

"That's the spirit."
