Chapter 6: The Process

The group walked to the old building where Neo first became free. Brown looked up at the building, then he looked back at Morpheus. "Why did we come here?"
Morpheus turned to him, "We're ready for you."
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Brown sat down in a red chair across from another one where Morpheus was sitting. In between them was a table with two pills, and a glass of water. One pill was red, the other was blue.
Morpheus broke the silence, "I know exactly what choice you are going to make, but I have to help you understand your choice, or at least . . . help you understand WHY you are going to make it."
He put both pills into each of his hands. Brown, who had recovered his sunglasses again, watched all of Morpheus' actions intently.
"You take the blue pill, Brown, the story ends. You morph into another being and do whatever you want to do with the time you have." Morpheus explained.
Brown looked at the blue pill for a long time, trying to analyze it and understand it as much as possible. It did not make sense of how such a small thing could change someone's mind completely, or help them achieve something.
Trinity, suddenly, had a bad feeling in her gut. "Morpheus, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes, Trinity."
"It's alright, Trin." Neo reassured.
"How are we sure? This is the first time this has happened . . . I mean, how do we know it isn't an act of desperation to destroy us? That whole fight back there . . . it could have been a plan!"
Brown looked up at her with great respect. He was in no place to speak about beliefs, and he respected her for doubting him. For all the terrible things that Jones and himself had done, who would believe them at the first shot?
"Trinity . . . what have I told you ever since you first joined my crew?" Morpheus asked.
Trinity relaxed and bowed her head, "Yes, sir."
Brown turned back to Morpheus, now interested in how he calmed someone in a single sentence.
"Brown . . . here is the final decision. You take the red pill, you stay in wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." Morpheus explained.
Brown, without hesitation, reached for the red pill. "Remember, Brown, once you take this pill, there is no turning back." Morpheus warned.
Brown thought about this, trying to understand his choice. After a few moments, he took the red pill, and put it in his mouth. He swallowed it with water.
Brown then looked at Morpheus again, seemingly un-phased by the whole process. "Now what?" he asked.
"Now you can follow us." Morpheus grinned.
Brown got up and followed Morpheus into another room. He sat in another seat, and some wires were attached to him.
"Neo," Brown asked, "What was the pill for?"
"It's our way to know where you are in the Matrix. Oh, I'd take out that earphone if I were you." Neo replied.
Brown obeyed and took it out. He felt a bit nauseated from the pill. Suddenly, he felt a searing shock from his body. He started to get a zap every few seconds.
"He's . . . His body doesn't want to accept the program. If we don't save him now, he'll be lost in empty space forever." Trinity informed.
The zaps became worse. "Agh!" Brown cried.
"We will save him." Morpheus replied and took out his cell phone, "Link, do you have his position?"
"I'm working on it. Give me a minute." Link replied over the phone.
"I would, Link, but we don't have the time." Morpheus replied.
Brown held his head as the zaps came faster and more painfully.
"I've got it!" Link informed.
"Ok, start the download!" Morpheus ordered.
Then, in a flash of green and blue light, Brown disappeared.

Brown was floating through a strange empty space. He was stripped of his clothing and his sunglasses were gone.
He stared weakly, yet intently at some blue codes. Could they be Matrix codes? No, Matrix codes are green, not blue. They were swimming around in strange patterns, yet no patterns . . . their paths were always different. Brown was floating towards this blue code. Then, it "turned" to him, and stopped moving. Brown became afraid.
Then, they flew at him, and right through him, pushing the Matrix code out of his body.
Brown cried out in pain, as he had never felt this before. It left memories and fairly important Matrix codes inside of him, yet nothing more.
After the blue code passed, Brown fell.
He noticed he was lying on something flat and cold. He curled up and buried his face into his knees. Cold, Frightened, Hurt and Alone.

A/N: SO, what was THAT about? Well, if you can't guess, I ain't telling ye. You'll have to find out next chapter. However, if any of you have seen the first Matrix many times, you'd know of what this one part is suppose to reflect... ANYWAY, R & R please! No flames!
