Chapter 3: A Council Called

A knock came to Trinity and Neo's room early the next day. Neo quickly put his pants on and answered the door. It was Morpheus.

"Neo please hurry we can't be late this council is in your behalf." Morpheus said as a hello.

"Yes I know that Morpheus Trinity and I will be down soon."

"Good I'll see you there." Morpheus let himself out.

"Shall we go with him," Neo suggested.

"Yeah why not," Trinity got up off the bed and walked to the door where Neo was already at. Neo let Trinity walk by him and he opened the door for her and let her leave first, closing the door behind them.

"Morpheus wait," Neo said. Trinity and him holding hands while walking to catch up with their captain.

"So you were able to call a council?" Trinity asked.

"Yes after persuading the councilors." Morpheus responded

"So we all have to go?" Neo asked.

"Mainly just you."

"Oh."

They continued to walk to the council at a steady pace and they walked past many of the citizens of Zion, many no older than 20 and had children all having different fathers. Zion was beautiful in it's own way but today it seemed to say poverty. They walked slowly now wanting to get there quickly.

"You're going to start the talking right Morpheus?" Neo asked nervously.

"Yes Neo."

Neo let out a deep breath. Trinity smiled at Neo's discomfort it was funny seeing him that way. Obsidian had been walking ahead of them the whole time, she then stopped and waited for them to catch up noticing she didn't know where the hell she was at.

"Morpheus where are we going again?" Obsidian asked confused.

"We are going to a council."

"Well I know that but where are they held?"

"Just up ahead you can't miss the building."

Morpheus was right the Building did stand out compared to the other equally dull buildings around it. They all entered the building, most of the captains called to attend had, but there were still a few missing. Obsidian was astonished at how many captains there were she didn't really know how big the fleet was till then, at that moment it hit her that she actually had a role to play in this plan.

"Take a seat here with Trinity." Neo told Obsidian, they sat down and watched as Neo and Morpheus took their seats up front.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The council had lasted a good 2 hours, all the captains had many debates and questions to ask. Obsidian grasped all she could, like for instance the immensity of the war and the importance of the Matrix to the people of Zion. Another thing she learned is what Neo had exactly dreamed...since he had only give a brief description of it when he woke up. He had also talked about a dream he had had recently, and surprisingly it involved her again. She was listening intently to the debate going on about whether or not they should prepare for the worst, the room was in an uproar and even Trinity was up and talking. It was a great experience to see how things were resolved here but Obsidian thought that it didn't always go that way. People were almost ready to box, or so it seemed. Once they had finally decided on what to do it was in Neo's favor, to believe his dream, and prepare for the worse.

Trinity's heart grew heavy at the thought of Zion having to prepare everyone for the worst the next couple of days there weren't going to be good. The streets of Zion would probably be littered with people going crazy and being in complete havoc. Trinity could only be too happy to stay in her room until they took off to go into the Matrix. Finally the council finished and everyone returned to his or her quarters, except for Councilor Haman, Morpheus, Neo, and Trinity; Obsidian asked if she could leave to go to her quarters to rest, and Morpheus told her she could. After Obsidian had stepped out for the night the councilor and the Nebuchadnezzar crew stayed up into the late hours to discuss their plans.

Obsidian took on a brisk pace back to her quarters still not trusting Zion to much, although she had been assured that it was safe to walk around in at night. She kept alert not wanting anything to happen to her. Most of the people of Zion were fast asleep, she walked by some rooms where people's lights were off but they definitely were not sleeping. Once she got to her room she sprawled out on the bed and fell fast asleep. She dreamt about her old life, which she vaguely remembered, so it was nice to remember what her old life was like, even if it was only a dream.

Neo and Trinity had left for the night as well leaving Morpheus and Councilor Haman to do the rest of the work.

Morpheus and the councilor were talking about food provisions and where they would store them if anyone were to survive. They had to talk about all negative things before going to the positive, but there were more negative thoughts than positive. When they finally finished talking about everything then they too went to sleep.
