CUTE LITTLE BLACK PUSSY CAT

_________________________

SOME TIME AROUND 2199

12:34 PM

We are all going up flight of stairs. I'm not sure why, I think there's a phone up there.

12:35 PM

Oooooooh, cute little black pussy cat! Actually, what is a black cat doing here? Strange.

12:36 PM

Oooooooh, cute little black pussy cat! Actually, what is a black...

Whoa, deja vu.

12:37 PM

God, they are making such a big deal out of just a couple of cats. So what if it was weird and creepy, the way one was there and then so was another one.

12:38 PM

Ohhhh, just because of those damn cats we have to run up the stairs. I was banking on NOT running, that cookie is making my insides go haywire. I wish I hadn't said anything now.

12:39 PM

So we're trapped here. Uhhhhh. Great. This probably means more trouble with people being shot and dying and my stomach still hurts.

12:41 PM

OK, so we ran up a load of stairs to the eighth floor. Owwww. Now my legs hurt.

12:42 PM

Long haired guy gave me a gun. Whoa.

I can kill people.

12:44 PM

In walls, clutching gun. I'm a little scared of using it. Scared of killing.

Must be absolutely silent.

12:45 PM

Damn you, Cypher. Damn guy started coughing.

We're all gonna die now. Thanks a fucking lot.

12:46 PM

Shooting the gun blindly into the wall in front of me. Bang bang bang. I'm not sure what's going on, but never mind.

12:47 PM

Argh. Am being strangled by suit. Hate suits. Freak self out.

12:48 PM

No way. Morpheus leapt out of the wall above me and knocked the suit over.

Dumass. I would've got rid of the damn suit, if he'd just given me some time. Now... what was it the Oracle said? That now I had to sacrifice myself to save him? Or what? What would happen if I DIDN'T do that?

OK then. I won't, and see what she can do about it.

12:49 PM

Now Trinity is dragging me off. Well, dragging me down actually. Down the walls.

Does no one understand I can actually take care of myself?

12:51 PM

Fell out of the wall, into dusty place. Cypher refusing to come into lovely dark escape route sewer. Nancy boy.

1:05 PM

Came out of sewer. Have splotches of muck on self. Trinity however is spotless.

Is there a training program I didn't go through that covers stuff like Keep Looking Cool?

1:07 PM

Four of us walking down back alley place. I can't help thinking, perhaps we should be running. I for one can't wait to get out of this damn Matrix. Although we don't look nearly as cool in the Real World.

1:08 PM

So we have an exit, courtesy of Tank the Operator, who to my knowledge has never operated on anything.

Ah well.

1:10 PM

Here in old TV repair shop. Phone ringing. Not far to go now.

And I get to go first. Woo!

1:11 PM

OK, so the line went dead. I smell a fish, there's something ratty going on here.

1:12 PM

Trinity, Holder of the Cell Phone, reports that Cypher killed Tank and Dozer.

Oh god. No.

We're trapped here now. Dang it.

1:14 PM

OK, so have spent last two minutes trying to work out what Trinity and Cypher are on about. So far I've got that Cypher gave "them" Morpheus. Who's "them"?

Also, I've got that the Matrix isn't real. Well, duh. I'd got that weeks ago.

1:15 PM

No.

Long haired guy died, fell on floor, and... Switch reacted. A lot.

Why didn't I see it before? Switch and Apoc. Apoc and Switch. Perfect couple.

Switch on floor, staring at Apoc's dead body.

Trinity, now staring at Switch with a terrible expression on her face.

Switch will die. Now.

1:16 PM

She is dead. Am on floor, looking at her hair, her face, expressionless.

Feel awful. If was a second quicker with the phone, I could have stopped Cypher and saved her life. And Apoc's, I guess, although right now I really don't care.

1:17 PM

Trinity now staring at me. She looks like she's half crying. Poor girl.

OK, weird. She looked at me and just said "yes". OK.

1:18 PM

Phone ringing again, by some miracle. Our way out.

Asked Trinity to go first. Seems like it's her turn.
