Cyper got into the driver's seat and Morpheus sat next to him. Trinity and Mouse got in the back. As usual Apock and Switch didn't get into the car to guard the exit.

But Morpheus had other plans. "You two are coming with us, I want us all to hear what the Oracle thinks so we all have the same knowledge."

They didn't argue of course, but had a hard time figuring out who was going to sit where.

Eventually, they were off and got to the Oracles soon enough. They all could feel the fear of bad news spread out upon them. Morpheus got out and motioned for them to follow him, they did of course. As they headed up to the top of the building they noticed the same things there as that had been when they first went to see the oracle: same bum, walls, people, everything.

The same lady opened the door and greeted them, "Hello Morpheus". She nodded to everyone else. "Please follow me."

She led them through the apartment filled with pictures, toys, and trinkets until they got to a beaded doorframe that led to the kitchen. Morpheus was the first to walk in, and then the rest followed. Apock, Switch, and Mouse sat in the chairs that were not taken. Morpheus and Trinity stood.

"Thank you for coming", said the oracle in her wrinkly smile. "I'm afraid I have some bad, news, but it is also good news."

Morpheus had gotten his excited face on. No matter how dangerous, he was going to find The One.

The oracle shifted in her seat to face them all, in her kitchen apron and her hands floury from baking cookies. "The One has been released into the matrix and he is going to be a problem. I suggest that you send to Zion control not to have any more missions be carried out if possible; it would mean destruction for everyone."

Trinity winced inside but kept quiet. Mouse winced as well.

"The good news is, you will be able to convert him, if you do it right, but that, is something you are going to have to find out for yourselves." She lighted a cigarette and took a small drag then blew out the smoke.

Through a smiling face Morpheus managed, "Thank you." Mouse couldn't help himself with his casual doubts, "But how will we find him? And what if he kills us before we get a chance?"

Everyone but Morpheus and the oracle shot Mouse a glance.

The Oracle smiled, "Believe me honey, you'll be able to find him." She took another drag on her cigarette, "But the him killing you part is a chance you'll have to take."

The whole crew's stomach sank except for Morpheus. Morpheus smiled and nodded, "Thank you"

She nodded back at him and smiled. Morpheus and his crew began to file out, but then the oracle reached up and grabbed Trinity's arm. It felt like a toddler, but she stopped.

"If you don't mind, I would like to speak with you deary."

Trinity nodded uncertainly to the oracle then to her crewmates to leave them. Once they had gone the oracle's smile widened.

"So dear, do you know what you are supposed to do?"

Trinity nervously shook her head, an emotion she never showed, but hiding from the oracle seemed impossible.

"Well, honey there's nothing to be afraid about, just love him."

Trin finally opened up, "But he is on the wrong side, how am I supposed to love him?"

"That there, is where you come in. You see, he is looking for something, waiting for something. That something, he doesn't know what it is. But that something is you. And you have to help him see that. Once he is able to see that, he will come to the right side."

Trinity looked angry, "How am I supposed to get him to understand?"

The oracle looked curiously at her, "Like I told you Trinity, you will love him. You're instinct will come in." She smiled thoughtfully at the young woman before her.

Trinity however was steaming, "What exactly am I supposed to do?"

"Help him find what he is looking for." And with that said the oracle gave her a dismissing smile and returned to her cookies.

If Trinity had any nerve she would have thrown the vase at her but kept calm, as best she could, and started to walk out. Before she did, without turning around, the oracle said, "Oh, and tell Morpheus once you get him to trust you, ring him to see me."

Trinity nodded to her and walked out. She went through the apartments, down the elevator, and into the parking lot. Everyone was in the car waiting. She sat down in her seat and looked up at Morpheus and said, "The oracle said that once we gain his trust, to bring him to her." Morpheus smiled, "Very well." With that he gave Cyper the signal and they drove off. Threw the car ride Trinity felt most unusual feelings: She was scared, happy, and mad at the same time. But why was she happy? She wanted to kick herself for being happy.

Once they got to the exit and were back safely on the ship Tank called Morpheus over.

"What is it Tank?" Tank looked a little on the squeamish side but spoke, "Um, sir. We just got an E-mail from Zion. They have gotten a small clip of what appears to be his "Test Ride".

Morpheus looked confused, "What do you mean tank."

"Sir, five people were killed today and from what Zion says, it's from "him". The machines call it his "Test Ride". They were sent in to get a video or inside look on him and apparently they got killed doing so, but the tape still got to the ship."

"Well then Tank, let's see it."

With that, everyone scooted closer and huddled to see the clip.

Tank pressed a few buttons and then it was up on the screen. The crew watched in horror as in what seemed like seconds three men and two women were slaughtered. They didn't even see the figure; it loomed dark and was too quick. All they saw was blood and guts fly and people die. Then, the dark figure picked up the video tape. All they saw was the dark lens of black glasses and then the tape cut off.

The crew sat in fear, all except Morpheus, who was even more excited.

They all thought, if he can take out five people in five seconds, what chance do we have of converting him?

It then occurred to them that they were all most likely to die.
