The Neb



'Neo' was standing in the medical bay, hands clasped behind his back, and was giving the nurse an evil glare prompting her to leave, and go back to her own ship.

"He should be alright," she said hurriedly "I just wouldn't expect him to wake up anytime soon." she said with a sort of frightened giggle. She had heard that the One was the quiet sort, but was generally polite and friendly. At the moment he looked like neither, but more like he wanted to ram her head into a barrel of single-cell protein

"No" Replied 'Neo' looking at the nurse icily "That would be highly improbable" he drawled

"Yes, well, I'll just be um, I'll just be going now." she muttered, half running out of the ship.

Smith sighed; honestly, some humans couldn't just take a hint. Well at least he wouldn't have to be here for much longer. The apparently comatose 'Bane' opened his eyes suddenly, and sat up. Now they could continue with the more enjoyable part of the plan.



The Source



Agent Brown's eyes narrowed, Mr Anderson was walking towards him looking very determined. If it was one thing he could say about humans, some of them just didn't know when to give up. He reached down towards his gun carefully.

Neo stopped a foot from Brown and smirked. "You *are* going to tell me how to get out of here." he said, showing no signs of imminent violence at all.

Brown frowned, slightly confused, he had been expecting a fight "And why ...*Mr Anderson*, do you think that? "

Neo sighed in mock frustration. "Well I would usually say blackmail is to harsh a word, but it pretty much describes what I'm doing."

Agent Brown looked relived. That was all? *He* was going to try and blackmail an *Agent*? "And how Mr Anderson exactly do you plan to blackmail *me*?" he said with a hint of amusement.

"Well" Neo began. "It seems to me that Agent Smith is just as angry at the source for trying to delete him as he is at me, why else would he have gone to all that trouble to figure out how to overwrite an Agent program? I doubt you're the only Agent he wants to get rid of."

Brown looked ever so slightly worried.

Neo continued, knowing now that Agent Brown was actually taking him seriously. "So with me out of the way, Smith is going to be concentrating on taking all you guys down, and upgrades and all, there isn't much you are going to be able to do about it, I mean," Neo laughed "Every time you sent out another new Agent to fight him, you're going to just get another Smith."

Browns hands curled into fists. He knew Smith was strong, but he had never been considered a major threat. But now, if he could overwrite Agents.... "So how will sending you back to the Matrix, help us? You will just end up back here, if you manage to leave in the first place." said Brown unconvinced.

Neo sighed, properly this time. "Look. If I can get out of here, and manage to regain control of my body, I can defiantly stop Smith from doing it to me again. I don't know why, you will just have to trust me."

Brown raised an eyebrow "And I suppose after you are free, you are going to willingly help Agents" Brown stated, he didn't trust humans, they were unreliable.

"I want to get rid of Agent Smith just as much as you do. In fact probably more so, and if it benefits the Agents in the process...well its a price I'm willing to pay." Said Neo looking Brown in the eyes.

Brown didn't want to risk deletion, and hand over extremely important information to the major threat to the Matrix, but then would deletion really bother him if he was going to be an Agent Smith replica? However if Brown did help Mr Anderson then he would have lost the perfect chance for the system to delete him once and for all, but would the anomaly be worst than the swarms of Agent Smith that would otherwise take over the system?

It was times like this that he was glad that he was connected to the Matrix, he could instantly come to a decision once conferring with Agent Jones, the Source or other Agents. But he was on his own now. Cut off. He alone had to make a decision.

Neo was nervous, Agents were naturally short tempered and if he hadn't convinced Agent Brown, then he really would be stuck here, he would never see Trinity again.

Brown had made up his mind. He looked towards the anxious Neo.

"I'll help you."



The Neb



Bane-Smith sat down at the computer and started typing, while 'Neo' got into the chairs used to load into the Matrix. Bane-Smith had finished typing and looked over to where 'Neo' was sat, smiling. "Ready?" he questioned,

"Yes. I think it's time we paid our *friend* Mister Anderson a visit"
