Naz woke up for the third time. She sat up on the bed and huddled against
her knees. Her head felt better now, so that was a good thing, but in
retrospect, she missed him, even though she didn't know he was there, she
felt something was missing. And, what really bugged her was, there was
something familiar about this room.
"Ah, bastards!" Naz swore aloud. It was Neo's room! Well, the one he was in while aboard the Hammer.
She looked at her arm and there was a plug in there. Slowly and painfully she removed it, letting out a sigh of relief as she did so. She was still wearing the hat. She removed it and studied it, thankful for her gift off Morpheus. It was a grey fleece hat, similar to the one she owned while being made a slave by the Matrix. She felt the softness of it and replaced it on her head, thinking only one thing; this was real!
She toddled about in the room for a while, running her hand along a few things, stretching a few muscles before even thinking about opening the door. To be honest, she was a bit frightened, knowing what was out there and what it could to her, but nonetheless, she went to explore. After a few feet, she realised there was someone behind her. She turned to see; Ghost.
"I've been waiting for you," he said. Naz give him a look that suggested 'oh really now' so he continued, "I understand you may know where Trinity is, do you?"
Naz bit her lip. He was nervous and a bit shaky, unlike of his usual confident self. Her heart fell thinking of the dream she had and what had happened, and, how it would affect everyone. Then it dawned on her, 'how didn't they know?' She was about to answer something other than the answer when Morpheus came down the ladder.
"Ah, your awake I see. Come, we're going to the mess hall. I'll introduce you to members of all three ships, set out to reclaim you and Josey." He greeted her.
"We're aboard the Hammer, right?" asked Naz, cautiously.
"Yes, that is correct." Replied Morpheus.
"I'm sorry...." began Naz "for the loss of your ships."
Morpheus thought for a moment and turned back to make way for the mess hall.
"We'll discuss what you know after the introduction, then we start the training." Assured Morpheus. Naz turned to look at Ghost, whose hopeful look had gone, and followed Morpheus.

Josey was minding her own business, looking out of the plane window, sipping a glass of water, and talking to Smith. By now, however, she had worked out how to contact him through her mind, instead of speaking aloud. The following thoughts are as told:
'Miss Josey, be careful. The pilots may be taken over by Agents if they are aware' thought Smith.
'Aware of what?' Josey thought back, very absent-mindedly.
'Of who you are. Though they may not have had the time to watch the news or be alerted by the police within the time you got here, thanks to your 190m.p.h up the motorway trick, but they may think about who you are and what you are doing here' he warned.
'Oh, you're right! I'd better change my look!'
'And why is that, miss Josey?'
'Call me Josey'
'Josey?'
'Because I'm dressed as if I'm late for a meeting!....Not that it's a bad thing, but girls don't usually dress like this'
'You don't have a change of clothes with you'
'I'm a women! We make ourselves look good'
And with that, Josey stood up and threw her jacket and tie on her seat. She pulled the shirt from her trousers and undid her top two buttons. The ends of the shirt were tied in a bow kind of knot above her waist and her sleeves folded up to her elbows. Her hair clip, placed above her hair bun, was taken up and clipped on the belt holdings of her trousers, while her hair was taken out of the bun and put into a normal high ponytail. The trousers were left as they were, besides being pulled down slightly to look longer, and the hairclip as a belt accessory. Josey made the final adjustments to her shirt by pulling her collar out to make it look bigger and went to look in the mirror.
'Impressed?' she asked Smith a bit smugly.
'Yes, to say the least. But, I thought you liked the tie and tiepin?'
Josey went back to her seat and tied the tie around her waist, at the base of the trousers, tied the jacket around her waist, and clipped the tiepin to her ear.
'I'd better go check on the pilots' insisted Josey, straightening her hair in the mirror.
Josey opened the curtain to the cockpit, and jumped back in surprise. The heads of the new pilots turned around....
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Naz entered the big room behind Morpheus, with Ghost slipping in behind her and taking a seat. Around the table sat the remaining crew of The Hammer (Mjolnir), The Logos and The Nebuchadnezzar. The people who managed get through half a open gate and back into Zion dock, setting off the EMP, were sitting in front of her, waiting for information. Naz looked uneasy, to say the least, and skidded her feet forward as Morpheus gestured for her to sit down. She took the seat and looked at everyone shyly. She looked down to see a faded reflection facing her.
"But, she's just a goddamn child!" shouted Roland.
"Shut your goddamn mouth Roland! Let's see what she knows!" scowled Niobe.
Naz looked back up and smiled slightly.
"Do you know everyone?" asked Morpheus expectedly. Naz started pointing around the table at the people she was naming.
"Link, Sparks, Ghost, Niobe, Roland, Colt, Mauser, AK," she said without effort, then she got to Morpheus, "Morpheus. The ship we are on is called the Hammer, also know as the Mjolnir, and it belongs to Roland. Morpheus' ship, The Nebuchadnezzar, was destroyed, shortly after Neo brought Trinity back to life, by a bomb thrown by the sentinels. Morpheus said 'I have dreamed a dream, and now that dream has gone from me' before Neo separated his mind from his body and went into a coma. Niobe's Ship, The Logos...." Naz cut off and looked up. Everyone's faces were indescribable. Naz's mouth twitched into a smile and back to a frown.
"That's...That's amazing!" exclaimed Link.
"How does she know that?" questioned Ak.
"And, in such detail?" added Colt.
Naz smiled and looked down all shyly. Morpheus smiled and led Naz back out of the room.
"Thank you for confirming my beliefs. But now, I want you to tell me, personally, what happened to the Logos and it's passengers" ordered Morpheus. They walked into the infirmary, and Naz flinched slightly, remembering the murder.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
"You little TORAGS! You stole the bodies of my pilots! You are soooo not in my good books at the moment!" shouted Josey.
The agents blinked and turned back towards the window and continued to fly.
"Miss Josey, your request for China Town has been denied!" said Thompson, in his dull tone of voice.
"We're heading for Mega City. You still remain valuable to us." Ended Jackson.
"Oh, you are so sweet!" replied Josey, non-sarcasticly, "but, it turns out, this is where I get off. Cyas!"
Josey pulled out her left gun, twirled it quickly in her hand and shot the control panels of the plane. She ran out of the cockpit, kicked a hole in the door and jumped. The vacuum affect pulled everything and the control panels with her. The agents, however, were still belted into their seats. The plane went down towards the ocean...
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
".....and that's what happened" ended Naz, shamefully.
Morpheus' face could've made a grow man cry. He looked sadder than a child that hadn't gotten any Christmas presents while all his friends got cars. Naz got up off the table and walked towards Morpheus. Morpheus looked at her, and burst out crying. Naz hugged him and pushed him towards the table to sit down. He took his head out of his hands and looked at her.
"I'm sorry," he said, "that you have to see this. I am also sorry you had to witness that event."
"It's ok Morpheus. I understand they were dear friends to you and you have the right to be upset" comforted Naz.
"I'll be needing this on paper," he added, "like a kind of debrief. There is one more thing I wish to know. Do you know how and why you were having these dreams?"

Hey! You're in for a treat for the end of this chapter. I'm gonna do the first ever replies for this story!!!! Yay! *Crowd in back cheer* Um....right. I have no idea where they came from, but hey! On with the replies!
Angel-Of-Lightness: We know. How else did he die? Anyways, awww you hug Morphie. Poor Morpheus. But how the hell am I going to be able to do the reactions of the rest of the crew? Wait, don't answer that. Anyways, enjoy yourself in Barry and thanks for reviewing.
Richard the pedantic: ooooookie. I agree. When writers block affects reviews, I suggest you run for the hills! Muahahahaha! Not only am I stealing your weasles, I'm stealing your famous quotes! Muahahahaha! Ok, I'll stop that now. Thank you for my birthday e-mail. That was very thoughtful. And thanks for the pic. It's just be one of those days......Thanks for reviewing.
Selina Enriquez: I'd say you missed it because, only now have I classified it as a Smith/Neo fic. I started this story randomly, unplanned, and I didn't have a clue to as what would happen within. Thanks for the review.
JediKnightRika: I could make this fic funny, because this is the way me and Angel-Of-Lightness/Naz would really react. Most of the happenings within this story are true, thus I inserted it for everybody to see how funny we really are. Thanks for reviewing.
Well, that was interesting. Everyone who enjoyed this fic, please tell everyone you know about it. It'll be a great help. Thanks. Please Review!
