Morpheus was the first to speak. "This is very unfortunate. Now we're
down to four people on the crew. We'll have to work harder."
Neo, kneeling beside Tank's body, looked at him with sullen eyes. "What do you mean 'we're down to four people on the crew'?!" He growled.
"We cannot rescue Horizon, the Agents have her in their custody. It would be suicide to go and rescue her."
Neo stared at Trinity, hoping she'd say the things he wanted to hear. She averted her eyes to the floor. "I'm sorry, Neo, but he's right. She's lost."
He looked over at Evangel. He was shabby and torn. Neo could see it in his eyes as he watched over Horizon's body. Her body did not move at all, but the monitor read that she was still alive. He could not bear this.
"No," he said. "I will not let my daughter die."
"Your daughter? Neo, that was in the Matrix. She wasn't your daughter in the real world." Morpheus said.
"I don't care! To me, she was my daughter. And not because I'm her father, but because I believe it is the right thing to do, I want to save her." He stood up and began fiddling with controls. Trinity appeared at his side. "Neo, have you lost your mind completely? I won't let you do this!"
"Trinity, I love you, but dammit, I am doing what I want to do. And you are going to put me into the Matrix now, whether you like it or not because if you don't, I'll never, ever forgive you."
She thought for a moment, hesitated. "Alright, but don't die on me."
"I won't."
He sat down in a chair as Trinity inserted him into the Matrix. Morpheus was covering Tank's body with a sheet. "You and I both know that wasn't the right thing to do."
"I don't know what has come over him, he's changed."
"He hasn't changed at all, Trinity. If you remember, he's always been this stubborn. And if he hadn't been stubborn, I wouldn't be here today. Let's hope the outcome to this is just as well as the last one."
