Part Two
Nebuchadnezzar
The surviving crew gathered around Morpheus' prone form still strapped into his plug in chair the Agents where hacking into his mind in the matrix they all knew there was only one thing they could do they had to unplug him kill Morpheus their leader, their captain. They were just waiting for one of them to gain the courage to say so. Neo spoke first he being new didn't know what the rest of the crew knew so he had to ask. "What are they doing to him?" Tank answered the newest crew member's question "Breaking into his mind. It's like hacking into a computer, all it takes is time" "How much time?" Neo asked. 'Yes that's the question how much time, how long have we got to do this before it's to late before Morpheus cracks and the Agents get what they want, the codes to Zion' Trinity thought. "Depends on the mind. Eventually it will crack and his alpha patterns will change from this" Tank pointed out the pattern in question "to this" Tank pulled up a demonstration of how the alpha patterns would look when the mind cracks" when it does, Morpheus will tell them anything they want to know" 'Well what do they want?" Neo asked. "The leader of every ship is given codes to Zion's mainframe computer. If an Agent got the codes and got into Zion's mainframe, they could destroy us. We can't let that happen." Tank said looking at Neo. "Trinity, Zion's more important than me or you or even Morpheus." Tank said to Trinity who was stood away from the group next to Mouse who was covered by a blanket still in his plug in chair. "Well there has to be something we can do" Neo said looking to all the other members of the crew. "There is. We pull the plug." Tank answered "You're going to kill him? Kill Morpheus?" Trinity asked "We don't have any other choice" Tank said. Apoc and Switch had stayed quite letting the others figure out what they would do but it seemed like a decision had to be made so Apoc made it for them and said "Tank you can come up with something to say for him" "Yer I got something" Tank said The crew all moved round Morpheus' body Tank next to his head on the left Trinity opposite him, Apoc next to Trinity and Switch next to Tank and Neo was stood at his feet. "Morpheus, you're more than a leader to us. You're our father. We'll miss you always." Tank said as he moved his hand to pull Morpheus' plug but just as he gripped it Neo interrupted "Stop. I don't believe this is happening" Neo said "Neo, this has to be done." Tank said everybody knew that but hoped Neo had some other option. "Does it? I don't know, I... this can't be just coincidence. It can't be." said Neo. "What are you talking about?" Apoc asked "The Oracle. She told me this would happen. She told me that I would have to make a choice." 'Ok now everyone was very confused what on earth is he going on about make a choice what between him and Morpheus their lives? Who was more important Neo or Morpheus? Neither they are both equally important Neo's not the one yet and he doesn't believe he will be I know that but he will be its all up to me to help him become what he really is and as Tank said Morpheus is like a father to us all.' "What choice?" Trinity asked Neo looking him in the eyes Neo looked at her then ran over to the operators console "What are you doing?" Trinity asked again "I'm going in" Neo said matter of factly "No you're not" Trinity argued "I have to" Neo countered "Neo, Morpheus sacrificed himself so that we could get you out. There's no way that you're going back in" Trinity told him. "Morpheus did what he did because he believed I am something I'm not." Neo told her "What?" Trinity asked confused "I'm not the one, Trinity. The Oracle hit me with that too." Neo confessed "No. you have to be." Trinity said "Sorry, I'm not. I'm just another guy." Neo said Trinity glanced at Switch then looked Neo in the eyes and told him "No, Neo. That's not true. It can't be true." "Why?" Neo asked Trinity didn't answer. "Neo, this is loco. They've got Morpheus in a military controlled building. Even if you somehow got inside, those are Agents holding him. Three of them. I want Morpheus back too, but what you're talking about is suicide." Tank said trying to get Neo to change his mind. "I know that's what it look's like, but it's not. I can't explain to you why it's not. Morpheus believed something and he was ready to give his life for what he believed. I understand that now. But that's why I have to go." Neo said trying to convince the others he knew what he was getting himself into. "Why?" Tank asked confusion written on his face and the faces of Switch and Apoc. "Because I believe in something." Neo said full of confidence "What?" Trinity asked curious of what he could believe in. "I believe I can bring him back" Neo said then ran over to his plug in chair to get it ready Trinity followed and started getting her chair done when Neo noticed what she was doing and asked "what are you doing?" Trinity answered "Going with you" without even looking up. "No you're not" Neo told her sounding very firm "No?" Trinity said with contempt in her voice. Trinity looked into Neo's eyes and said "let me tell you what I believe. I believe Morpheus means more to me than he does to you. I believe if you were really serious about saving him you are going to need my help. And since I am the ranking officer on this ship, if you don't like it, I believe you can go to hell. Because you aren't going anywhere else." Trinity's speech was full of emotion and at the same time some contempt. "Tank, load us up" Trinity said full of confidence Tank loaded up what they would need while Switch and Apoc helped Neo and Trinity into their chairs and plugged them into them. They where now ready and waiting in the construct for Tank to phone asking what they would need.
