The layout was scarily similar to the message boards she knew, well whatever worked, worked. The guys busied themselves and let her surf around alone. It was black and green, big surprise.
It was split into sections, random, characters, general, RPG. It was one of a few boards that the trio visited, they didn't really like the official one, the moderators hated off topic posts but they had found this one. Supposedly it was ATS and Animatrix-centric but now it was mostly ATS and the movie.
All the last posts were by some person named Blue Equine. Grady looked at Nevin who were on the computers opposite to Tavis, Gadget and Stef.
"Quadruped's changed his name again."
"Can't horsy-boy stick with one name?"
"Nope, remember the other day when he changed it like four times?"
"Each was a different way to profess his love to Brown."
Stef choked, stood and looked over the monitors at them, "what?!"
"Blue Equine is desperately in love with Agent Brown, we don't understand it either."
Stef slumped back into her chair, "That is the most disturbing thing I have ever heard. I'm going to check out the random board."
"See any 'keep out' on them, take the warning."
"Unless you're a voyeur," Gadget said with an evil grin.
"I am not."
"The enter at your own risk."
Stef smirked and clicked on the link to the random board. The last updated link was 'Evil Koalas'. "What the hell does evil marsupials have to do with the Matrix?"
"You'll get used to it, don't judge this board at face value, randomness is good."
"It's also a by-product of the fact that like a third of the people on here are from Australia."
"Drop bears are evil," Nevin said with a shudder.
Shaking her head she clicked it and started to read.

Three Skitz jade angels- What are you Tripping, Smith is the hottest Agent Ever.
Blue quadruped- Is not, Brown is.
Karen Luffer- Brown has the personality of a doornail
Blue quadruped- Be nice he had to go through the first glitch ever by him self, and hes programmed to be coolder. he just needs time. I could warm him up. I agree, Stef and Smith should get together
Underlord D Fonce- No Way Darth is too cute. Besides could you see Smith giving roses and snuggling in bed. *pictures Blue and Brown, lol colers pretty, No grouse stop that!*

"This is ridiculous, this cannot be happening." Stef groaned and dropped her head to the desk.
"Which thread are you in?" Grady asked from across from her.
"The one where they're trying to decide whom I've in love with."
"Well who is it?" Gadget asked, "Smith or Darth?"
"I'm not in love with either of them."
"We know you think Darth is cute."
"I do not," she protested.
"It was in the end of FoR, when you were bashing on Hummer's back door."
"Do I have any secrets whatsoever in this world?"
"Not a lot since you joined the agents."
"Great."
"Spill already," Nevin said with a grin. "It's just us. Smith or Darth - or is it someone else that we don't know about?"
"Yeah, I had an affair with Twin One when I was working for Mero, did you know about that?" she asked sardonically, rolling her eyes. "I love Smith, but not like that." She paused, not used to talking about stuff like this.
"Yeah...?" Gadget said.
"Darth is cute," she mumbled.
"Cuter than me?" Nevin squeaked to break the silence that accompanied the admittance of cuteness.
"Oh, no one cuter than you Nev," she said in a talking-to-babies voice. "Hang on, Nat is."
"Great, I lose to a child program."
"But he's very important to the exiles."
"Am I cuter than Nat?" Tavis asked.
"No."
"Am I?" Grady asked.
"No."
"What about me?" Gadget.
"You have green hair Gadget. I need to say no more."
"You just hate me cause I'm green."
"I'm not prejudiced, I don't hate the Grinch."
"The who?" came from all four guys.
"Never mind," she said and clicked to the next topic.

Thread by Alloy Sin: the koalas are out to get you
Alloy Sin- run for your lives! It's the rabid koalas bent on killing all random board members!
Skitz_zoid- and I control them, they are MYN!
Blue Equine- *hides self in brown's jacket* hey, this is nice...
Alloy Sin- they're after ME! *requires bazooka* it didn't work! HELP!
L'Tory- I'll help you...he, he, he...
Three Skitz Jade Angels- no one wants ur help carol
The very disturbed fairy- I AM CAROL WHITMAN! Mwhahahahaha
Thunder Eagle- I know her! She is Whitman! But rabid koalas are scarier! AHHHHHHHH, a koala
Bloodthirsty koala (formerly MatrixNuts) KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!
Rocki- *shoots at it*
Bloodthirsty koala (formerly MatrixNuts) *turns to source of shooting, unharmed and goes after the would-be assassin*
Rocki- I'm gonna die now *dies in horrible, koala induced death*
L'Tory- I'm the only one allowed to kill my brother *requires rabid kangaroo army to attack the programmed koalas*
Ara- what if Smith had to rescue Stef from a koala, that would be an excuse for a sweet scene
Thunder Eagle- you are ruining this thread! *shoots ara and runs from the koalas*
Underlord D Fonce- *currently hidden in a koala-proof bunker*
A grade above- isn't it boring in there?
Underlord D Fonce- nah, I'm writing a Stef/Greer fic
System Tavis- u read Encryption?
Underlord D Fonce- It's my fav S/G shipping fic
Ara- it's not shipping, S/S is shipping, there is not enough S/S shipping
System Tavis- haven't u written like twenty of them?
Ara- 16, but I have plans for more - I figure that sooner or later Jonas will run out of ideas and go looking for plots on FFW, then he'll see my stories and turn it into canon
Alloy Sin- KOALA!
System Tavis- they are well written but I think S/G is a better FF pairing cause it's J/G in canon
Underlord D Fonce- I like the J/G pairing, it just fits so well
Ara- yeah, it's a good relationship
Alloy Sin- KOALA!...?
Skitz_zoid- the koalas have turned on me! Help!
Blue Equine- it's better than some of those weird 1shot slash pieces you get
Ara- like what?
Blue Equine- Smith/Morph Smith/Neo Neo/Morph Trin/Morph Stef/Neo Stef/Hummer Hummer/agent-of-your-choice Mero/any other character
Thunder Eagle- you scare me
Blue Equine- I wasn't finished, then you get the SI or OC plots
L'Tory- do you live on FFW?
Blue Equine- and this board yes, I am jacked in like ten hours a day. The other 14 I work for eight hours, travel for one, sleep for three and use the other two however I want
The very disturbed fairy- and I thought I was bad
Blue Equine- you are, I'm just worse
Alloy Sin- koala?
Three Skitz Jade Angels- the koalas have left the board Alloy, but not forever
Underlord D Fonce- KOALA!
Three Skitz Jade Angels- see what I mean?

The fanboys posted for another hour or two until it was about three in the morning and they all grew tired. Gadget had already said goodnight about half an hour before that.
Used to them staying the night, there was a spare room with three bunks in it.
"Night Stef," all three said before slogging down to the room. Stef found some headphones and found a net radio station that played the current top forty, appropriately enough top40.web, and clicked back over to FFW.
Reading through some Matrix/ATS fanfics and some other 'ancient' categories of books and movies from her time she realized that there was something she wanted to do. And now that she was free for a while she could do it without resorting to asking Jonas.
Opening up a new browser, she found after a small search the web page she was looking for. Records of births, deaths and marriages. (Gov.us/bdm) and opened up the database. This being public information there was no need to hack the system.
As she opened the database she wondered if she would regret this decision. Sometimes knowing everything, or even one piece of information could change your life. Several simple facts had turned her life upside down; that the world was nothing more than a simulation and that that simulation was within another and there was another that no one else knew about were on the top of her list.
~ ~ I hate Serica, the real, real you - the original, the person you are based on.
Serica Maat, Phelan's sister. She just had to know. Typing that name into the database she waited a few seconds until one link came up. Maat, Serica. She clicked it.
The photo couldn't lie. Shaking her head, she stared at the real version of herself. Serica Maat was the person on whom she was based, Phelan's sister and Jonas' ex-girlfriend. There were several differences, Serica had blue-green eyes and darker hair but besides that it was almost like looking in a mirror.
It wasn't surprising in any way shape or form; it just made her think about something that usually didn't bother her. Exactly how much of her was Stef and how much had Jonas programmed, she liked to think none but she had to wonder.
She closed the window without a second thought, she had found what she was looking for now she could relax. Only she couldn't, not really.
The problem remained, how was she to get back onto Jonas' server without him discovering that she had been out in the first place.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Ok, not much happened in that chapter but I promise plot development in the next one.
I dare you to email Stef. (yahoo, not geo-search) I just dare you
To you people on the board, mwhahahaahahaha (you know what I'm talking about)

"Everyone's online," Tavis said.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Nevin said as he clicked over to the chat.
"Can I join up?" Stef asked.
"Hell yeah," Grady said, "We need to get you a w-mail account first."
"Ok."
Grady clicked over to the Geo-search page. "What was your alias?" he asked as he clicked the email icon.
"Unseen spider, but with an underscore and a y in spider."
"Like we spell our Spyder."
"Yeah, my old addy was unseen_spyder@yahoo.com."
"Now it's unseen_spyder@geo-search.web."

Thread by Alloy Sin: the koalas are out to get you
Alloy Sin- run for your lives! It's the rabid koalas bent on killing all random board members!
Skitz_zoid- and I control them, they are MYN!
Blue Equine- *hides self in brown's jacket* hey, this is nice...
Alloy Sin- they're after ME! *requires bazooka* it didn't work! HELP!
L'Tory- I'll help you...he, he, he...
Three Skitz Jade Angels- no one wants ur help carol
The very disturbed fairy- I AM CAROL WHITMAN! Mwhahahahaha
Thunder Eagle- I know her! She is Whitman! But rabid koalas are scarier! AHHHHHHHH, a koala
Bloodthirsty koala (formerly MatrixNuts) KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!
Rocki- *shoots at it*
Bloodthirsty koala (formerly MatrixNuts) *turns to source of shooting, unharmed and goes after the would-be assassin*
Rocki- I'm gonna die now *dies in horrible, koala induced death*
L'Tory- I'm the only one allowed to kill my brother *requires rabid kangaroo army to attack the programmed koalas*
Ara- what if Smith had to rescue Stef from a koala, that would be an excuse for a sweet scene
Thunder Eagle- you are ruining this thread! *shoots ara and runs from the koalas*
Underlord D Fonce- *currently hidden in a koala-proof bunker*
A grade above- isn't it boring in there?
Underlord D Fonce- nah, I'm writing a Stef/Greer fic
System Tavis- u read Encryption?
Underlord D Fonce- It's my fav S/G shipping fic
Ara- it's not shipping, S/S is shipping, there is not enough S/S shipping
System Tavis- haven't u written like twenty of them?
Ara- 16, but I have plans for more - I figure that sooner or later Jonas will run out of ideas and go looking for plots on FFW, then he'll see my stories and turn it into canon
Alloy Sin- KOALA!
System Tavis- they are well written but I think S/G is a better FF pairing cause it's J/G in canon
Underlord D Fonce- I like the J/G pairing, it just fits so well
Ara- yeah, it's a good relationship
Alloy Sin- KOALA!...?
Skitz_zoid- the koalas have turned on me! Help!
Blue Equine- it's better than some of those weird 1shot slash pieces you get
Ara- like what?
Blue Equine- Smith/Morph Smith/Neo Neo/Morph Trin/Morph Stef/Neo Stef/Hummer Hummer/agent-of-your-choice Mero/any other character
Thunder Eagle- you scare me
Blue Equine- I wasn't finished, then you get the SI or OC plots
L'Tory- do you live on FFW?
Blue Equine- and this board yes, I am jacked in like ten hours a day. The other 14 I work for eight hours, travel for one, sleep for three and use the other two however I want
The very disturbed fairy- and I thought I was bad
Blue Equine- you are, I'm just worse
Alloy Sin- koala?
Three Skitz Jade Angels- the koalas have left the board Alloy, but not forever
Underlord D Fonce- KOALA!
Three Skitz Jade Angels- see what I mean?

The fanboys posted for another hour or two until it was about three in the morning and they all grew tired. Gadget had already said goodnight about half an hour before that.
Used to them staying the night, there was a spare room with three bunks in it.
"Night Stef," all three said before slogging down to the room. Stef found some headphones and found a net radio station that played the current top forty, appropriately enough top40.web, and clicked back over to FFW.
Reading through some Matrix/ATS fanfics and some other 'ancient' categories of books and movies from her time she realized that there was something she wanted to do. And now that she was free for a while she could do it without resorting to asking Jonas.
Opening up a new browser, she found after a small search the web page she was looking for. Records of births, deaths and marriages. (Gov.us/bdm) and opened up the database. This being public information there was no need to hack the system.
As she opened the database she wondered if she would regret this decision. Sometimes knowing everything, or even one piece of information could change your life. Several simple facts had turned her life upside down; that the world was nothing more than a simulation and that that simulation was within another and there was another that no one else knew about were on the top of her list.
~ ~ I hate Serica, the real, real you - the original, the person you are based on.
Serica Maat, Phelan's sister. She just had to know. Typing that name into the database she waited a few seconds until one link came up. Maat, Serica. She clicked it.
The photo couldn't lie. Shaking her head, she stared at the real version of herself. Serica Maat was the person on whom she was based, Phelan's sister and Jonas' ex-girlfriend. There were several differences, Serica had blue-green eyes and darker hair but besides that it was almost like looking in a mirror.
It wasn't surprising in any way shape or form; it just made her think about something that usually didn't bother her. Exactly how much of her was Stef and how much had Jonas programmed, she liked to think none but she had to wonder.
She closed the window without a second thought, she had found what she was looking for now she could relax. Only she couldn't, not really.
The problem remained, how was she to get back onto Jonas' server without him discovering that she had been out in the first place.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Ok, not much happened in that chapter but I promise plot development in the next one.
I dare you to email Stef. (yahoo, not geo-search) I just dare you
To you people on the board, mwhahahaahahaha (you know what I'm talking about)
