Thanks to sci-fi freak Gordy for his many, many reviews and for telling me
the proper way to spell Morpheus- surprised someone hasn't told me before
actually!
Disclaimer: Nothing belongs to me. Linda Barker is an annoying woman on too many adverts and Curry's is a popular electrical shop that Linda Barker is on the adverts for. They are both very annoying. Luckily I don't own either of them. I also don't own PCZONE magazine, and what's the other thing? Oh yes, Matrix related characters and incident.
The dank and dark closet Neo had taken to be a toilet of some kind suddenly lit up. It was covered in TV screens, all displaying different parts of the Mall. He must be in CCTV control, thought Neo.
"You're in CCTV control," said Morpheus, who walked into the room after Neo, for once breaking the habit of a lifetime and saying something that was immediately obvious rather than shrouded in mystery and hurt your brain for six days afterwards.
Neo looked a little closer. He could see everything, and for a while got the impression of what it might like to be God.
In the restaurant, the waitress was chucking away spoons, checking no one was watching. In the music store a man was sampling a banjo, but trying to eat it when no one was looking. In the entrance, the vending machine had claimed another victim. The chinchilla in the bowl was slowly rolling out the pet shop door. In Agent Smiths toyshop, Neo was pleased to see, a sea captain was shoplifting yo-yos.
Trinity entered the room and laid some flowers by the door.
"Poor Garston!" she said.
"Who?" asked Neo.
"Garston was the head security guard here." started Morpheus, pausing only to wipe a tear from his eye. "He was dedicated, turning up to work in this very place every day, then a few weeks ago he was murdered, and rather ironically, no one saw his death. It was not even caught on camera!"
"What are you doing here?" a man walked into the room, making it extremely cramped-there wasn't enough room to swing a sentinel. "I am the security guard here and I never gave you permission to be here, ergo, you must leave!"
"Who?" Neo mouthed at Morpheus.
"I am the architect, I designed the Matrix" He paused. "Well not really. I just like places with lots of television screens: I worked in the popular electrical retail outlet 'curry's' for a while; Vis a vis; I got sick of Linda Barker. And spicy food tends to make me gassy."
"Can we call you Archie?"
"No! Now leave! You are mucking up my flawlessness and sublimeness. You are making my room to crowded! Ergo, when the friendly man with a nice new high backed black chair arrives; it will not fit, making me much less scary and impressive."
Neo didn't like to point out that the poor guy had egg on his tie.
"You may exit that way." Said the architect.
"If I were you, I would hope that we don't meet again" said Neo.
"Oh we will" said the architect and went to turn around on his chair when- "Little advice: next time we meet, bring a dictionary, and possibly some kind of translation device- it's going to be damn confusing!"
A telephone rang to the left of them making both Trinity and Morpheus jump towards it. A woman's voice rang out. "Archie, beard trimmers on line one."
The trio made for the door.
"Oh apropos!" muttered the Architect under his breath, for some reason using as some kind of swear word. I guess you can use complicated words for anything if no one else knows what they mean.
"Cripes I'm bad at this Architect thing, hope I get better before reloaded."
The architect got up and pointed at two doors leading out.
"Door number one leads back to the Mall, Door number two leads to a really long scary drop, the problem is choice etc, NOW GET OUT!"
"I look forward to meeting you again." Said Neo politely.
"Oh don't worry you won't remember a thing!"
The trio turned, smiling, (makes a nice change) to leave (finally! They've spent the last half of this fic trying to leave!) Through door one.
Out side in the corridor Morpheus turned to the other two "Well what a nice maAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH."
Inside the Architect heard their yells. "Whoops, really ought to learn my doors". He said, and then turning back to PCZone magazine "guess I won't be seeing him after all."
Despite this rather weird ending to this chapter it will continue. Mind you that's only if you review. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
