Chyron's severely damaged body laid quietly in the corner of the facility. Archiox and his First Mate, Thermos, searched for any survivors even though they both knew that every one was dead. The found then one at a time. Nonaka, Alexa, Rox and later, Raul. Raul was over by the computer stations. All the monitors were flashing "Matriculation Process ------CANCELLED." He looked over and he saw about 12 different machine carcasses laying all on the ground.
Except the noticed one thing that was strange. One machine, a scout, came out of the pipes and just stared at Archiox. Archiox noticed that there was something different about this machine. He felt like he didn't need to pull out his EMP gun. He just looked into the machines eyes and the machine met his stare coldly. He saw some emotion in the machines cold electric eyes . He didn't know why since he thought all machines were virtually "emotionless." He immediately left the base just to avoid any possible trouble with the machine because he thought to himself, "How can I be too sure that that thing wont try to attack me or my crew?" Thermos and the ships operator, Cross, were filling out data files on their computer to update Zion of the status of "Lab facility 327981."
Archiox decided to ask Thermos a question that's been pressing him since he left the lab in its current condition 3 and ½ hours ago. "How can I make sure that I didn't make a regretful mistake by letting that machine go about his business inside the la? It might access the codes to the Zion mainframe." Thermos quietly responded, "Whatever happens, happens. I really don't care at this point. We've been fighting the machines for about eleven and ½ years now. The only thing that could intrigue me is what the One is going to do to stop this war. By the way, where is he? Oh yeah, Archiox, I forget the One's name, What is it?" "Neo, his name is Neo." Archiox said with a tone of sadness in his voice.
He really didn't know that much about Neo. All he knew is that he has been 'free' for about 3 months now, His captain was Morpheus, He worked on the Nebuchadnezzar, and Trinity was his lover. After years of questioning the nature of reality, not to mention himself, he really didn't know whether he should put all his trust into the One. He like Thermos, really didn't care at this point. All he wanted was a nice bed to sleep in so he can head off to the second lab tomorrow.
