Part 6
Nebuchadnezzar
Both crews were stood in the cluttered and damaged core. Morpheus put the two crews into several groups 1 to connect the Nebuchadnezzar to the back of the logos to be towed to Zion, another to break up the sentinels and a last to restart the power systems. Morpheus, Niobe and Apoc went over to the logos to hook up the towline between the two ships. Tank, Sparks and Mouse tried to put the power back on and Trinity, Neo, Switch and Ghost started breaking up the sentinels, they kept any parts that would be useful and set up the rest to be ejected into the sewers on the trip to the Zion. While they broke up the sentinels Trinity and Neo couldn't take their hands off each other, which made Ghost insanly jealous. After about one hour the other groups had finished their jobs and had started to temporarily patch up the damage created by the sentinel attack. Only Apoc had been assigned to help the dismantling of the sentinels. Switch and Apoc watched as Ghost got more annoyed by Neo and Trinity's behavior. The guy's took a load of scrap metal down to the storage bay. Trinity and Switch went down to the mess to make drinks for everybody. While Switch boiled some water and Trinity found the coffee and milk substitutes out of the messy kitchen cupboards Switch decided to broach the subject of her and Neo's behavior to Trinity. "Trin you know we have noticed your and Neo's uh behavior and it's not that me and Apoc mind but it seems to be making Ghost uncomfortable." Switch said as quickly as she could but still making sense. "What do you mean?" Trinity asked "your all over each other Trin and it's making Ghost visibly jealous, he's about to blow up on you and I for one don't want to be there when he hits Neo cos he may be the man in the Matrix but we don't know in the real world" Switch said as the water finished.
Neo, Apoc and Ghost dropped the buckets of metal they were carrying onto the storage bay floor. Ghost used Neo's distracted state to his advantage and lashed out at an unsuspecting Neo. Ghost's first punch landed on its target knocking him off balance, Neo fell to the deck but in seconds he flipped back up onto his feet and kicked Ghosts flying fists away from him. Ghost backed into the wall, Neo then landed a punch to Ghosts left eye and one to his mouth then walked away. Apoc walked over to Ghost who was slumped against the wall. Apoc tore part of Ghosts sleeve off to wipe the blood from his mouth and pulled him out of the room heading back to the core. When Apoc and Ghost got back up to the core Neo was sat drinking his coffee with Switch and Trinity was stood with hers next to a large tray of cups near where Morpheus and Niobe were working on the Nebuchadnezzar's hull. "Coffee's are over there boy's" Switch said not looking up. Apoc grabbed his cup and sat next to Switch. Ghost leaned down to get his coffee without looking at Trinity but as he stood back up she noticed the state of his face and said "Ghost how on earth did you suddenly get a bust lip and a black eye" Ghost didn't answer he just tried not to look at any of the accusing looks he was receiving from the others. After a long minute of silence Apoc spoke up "he tried hitting the one the mans a god in the Matrix and amazing for a rookie out here in the real world but that idiot" points to Ghost "tries to pick a fight with him. For no reason" Apoc said then changed his mind from the look he got from Switch "Ok he had a reason but no good one" he said. Trinity looked to Neo and asked sounding very concerned "are you alright Neo" he looked up at her seeing her expression he smiled and said "yer I'm fine". Trinity was not very satisfied with his answer but was too angry with Ghost to hold it in any longer. Trinity turned back to Ghost and said "why?" Ghost couldn't tell her he would kill for her he loves her that much. "I know it was stupid Trin I couldn't help myself. I don't know what came over me Trin you have to believe me" "I don't have to do anything. And I don't care what came over you, you should know not to hit people Neo is the one he is here to save humanity and you want to kill him, what do you think Neo thinks about the people he is supposed to save now, if you hit him for no reason" Trinity shouted at Ghost. "I'm sorry Trinity I shouldn't have hit him" Ghost apologized. "You should be but you should be apologizing to Neo not me" Trinity said as calmly as she could whilst not actually looking at Ghost. Ghost looked away from Trinity and to Niobe for his captain's support but all he got was a disapproving look. Ghost knew there was another lecture coming his way. After about 30 seconds Niobe started "you Ghost should know that I don't condone violence from my crew in the real world. You know not to hurt newbie's either it's not fair on them they are not strong enough even if Neo did kick the shit out of you, you should not have hit him." Morpheus took pity on Ghost and gave everybody their orders starting with Trinity. "Trinity take Neo to the med lab and check him over then you two can be the first to use the recoup suite" Morpheus informed. Trinity took hold of Neo's hand and led him to the ladder.
