Chalk woke up in night, seeing Trip curled up beside him.
He got up and walked around undoing his door and waking out, leaving Trip. He
spotted Tank at the computers, just sitting then the occasional tapping on the
screen. He walked over to him checking his back for the others. None came
including Trip.
Tank: "What you doing up?"
Chalk: "Once I wake up I can't get back to sleep"
Tank: "Well its almost morning so it doesn't matter"
Chalk: "So what's all this then?"
Tank: "It's the Matrix, once you get to know it you don't see the code"
Chalk: "Oh. Can I have some food"
Tank: "Sure follow me"
Tank walked through a door that slide open, he picked a squared mental dish and
walked over to a tap type thing, he pulled down the leaver, out came sloppy
food. He pushed the leaver up closing off the flow. He picked up a spoon with
to spikes on the tip and then handed it over to Chalk.
Tank: "There you go"
Charlie groaned but plunged in his utensil and scooped up a mouth full and then
made a disgusted face as he swallowed.
Chalk: "Not to bad"
He continued to eat as Tank poured in some gunk into his dish and ate as well.
After a few minutes Morpheus, Neo and Trinity walked through the door.
Tank gave them all a dish and they all eat together.
Morpheus: "When your done bring the ship up to Broadcast Deck, we're
taking Chalk in to see her"
Chalk: "Who?"
Trinity: "The Oracle"
Trinity finished and the rest did, everyone was plugged in and Tank jumped in
his operator seat.
Location: The Matrix, The Safe House
Time:
7:30am, 2nd January 2002
In the Matrix the old fashioned black phone began rattling and ringing.
Morpheus pick up.
Morpheus: "We're in"
He hung up the phone. And they all headed out into the car, long and black. Neo
and Chalk sat in the back and Morpheus and Trinity in the front.
Chalk: "What is the Oracle?"
Morpheus: "She has been with us form the very beginning, she made the very first prophecy"
Chalk: "The beginning of?"
Morpheus: "The resistance"
The car came to a halt and every unbuckled their seat belts and stepped out. Chalk
and Neo walked into the building they were next to, it looked unsafe and
falling apart. Neo pushed the button on the lift door and waited for a few
seconds. The doors clinked open and they stepped inside, the lift took them up
a few floors then stopped, opened the doors and they walked out down the
hallway. They appeared in front of a wooden door.
Neo: "I can only show you the door, you have to walk through it"
Chalk gripped the doorknob but it was pulled away as the door open revealing a
lady dressed in a white dress and had black hair.
Lady: "Your just on time as usually, come on in"
They both walked through the door with the lady closing it behind them.
Lady: "Make yourself at home Neo, and you can go straight through to the
kitchen"
Chalk ran his fingers through his hair and turned into the living room the
through to the kitchen seeing the Oracle sitting on her stool looking at a
magazine waiting for her oven timer to go off.
Oracle: "Hello Chalk"
Charlie stood there not knowing what to say.
Oracle: "So you want to know your purpose, options or destiny"
Charlie still was didn't know what to say and so another reply came.
Oracle: "You only have options so far. Save your love or leave her for
dead"
Chalk: "Huh, I don't have a love"
Oracle: "The time will come you will have to make your decision, that is your purpose"
Chalk: "I don't understand you"
Oracle: "You don't have to. I have said all I know"
Chalk: "I'll guess I'll be going
then"
The Oracle pulled out a cigarette and lit it taking a long inhale. Chalk waked
out of the room, through the living room and back to the hallway with Neo was
waiting. Neo stood up and looked into Charlie's eyes.
