Chapter 13: The Construct

Morpheus pushed open the door to the dining area and found it already occupied by Neo,

who looked up when he entered. Both men exchanged exasperated and forced smiles as

Morpheus took a set across from Neo.

"So how' d it go with you?" Neo asked, folding his hands on the table and looking up

expectantly.

Morpheus raised his eyebrows and shook his head in bewilderment.

"That bad, huh?" Neo managed a genuine smile as he looked down at his hands, "Yeah,

Caitlin is a..." he frowned as he tried to find a word that suited his ex's inglorious personality,

"...a handful."

Morpheus nodded, "We'll have to put her in the construct. Make use of that vented

"I thought she's more of a hacker than a fighter- you know, like maybe she'd make a

"Neo, do you really trust your life in her hands?"

"Well no. But I don't wanna lose my life on a mission because she stopped to do her

nails."

Morpheus didn't smile, "You know her better than I do, but I am still the captain on this

ship, and I feel that with the right programs, the right training, and the right sparring partner, we

can make a fighter out of Cat."

"I'll do it," offered a voice that was neither Neo's nor Morpheus's. They both looked up

to find Trinity leaning in the doorframe, her face expressionless, but her intentions clear. "I'll

take her in the construct."

Neo stared blankly back at Trinity. She couldn't be serious... It was obvious she didn't

like Cat and if the two were thrown into the dojo, it was likely that only she would emerge.

"Good," Morpheus nodded his approval, "We'll take her in tomorrow."

Trinity shot Neo a triumphant smile, seemingly reading his mind. "Why don't you go tell

her to get some sleep," she turned to leave, "She'll be needing it..."
