Silence can be described as something quiet. Something that cannot be
heard. The Neb crew experienced that exact kind of silence. They just all
stood around Neo, staring. Who knows the wonders of the thoughts pondering
in their heads?
The one human in the chair, by the name of Neo blinked in amazement at the crew. He looked at them all. One by one. His pitch brown eyes scanned them up and down, sending information to his brain. It was like he was reading something in the matrix, only he couldn't see coding. Then he turned his gaze to Trinity, and couldn't look away.
Trinity felt a shiver run down her back and was frozen in place.
'Why is he staring at me?' She thought. She couldn't move, her body and eyes felt like they were frozen in place. 'Wait. Why am I freaking out?'
Neo stared hard at Trinity. She was a hard one to place. He could already tell about the others by their appearance, but her on the other hand, it was hard. Also, he couldn't make himself look away.
"Neo."
It was Morpheus.
Neo turned his head and looked at Morpheus. Trinity breathed out a sigh of relief.
"How are you?"
Neo blinked, confused at his questions. "Fine."
"Good. Please follow us." Morpheus motioned for Neo to get up and began walking towards the ship.
Neo stood up and the crew's hearts jumped, making Neo smile. That made the crew even more terrified. It wasn't an exactly "happy" smile; it was more like one from a horror movie. At least, that's what the crew thought.
Neo kept his "fake" smile and walked past the crew, following Morpheus. Trinity gave a grunt and they followed him, keeping their guns at ready. You could practically smell their fear. The crew guessed Neo could because he turned his head around and glanced at them with "that" smile. Frankly it scared the crap out of the Apock and he cocked his gun on accident.
Neo glared and turned around, ready for something.
The crew stopped and froze. Morpheus turned around. "What is the problem?"
Neo glared hell's flames at Apock, daring him to shoot the gun. Apock flinched and shook his head at Morpheus.
"I...I...accidentally cocked the gun...."
Neo raised an eyebrow at him then turned to Morpheus. Morpheus stared at the crew then they continued walking. Apock gritted his teeth angrily.
"Oh, Neo, may I ask you something?" Morpheus asked breaking the silence as the walked out of the bunker.
(A/N: I know in the last chapter, I said it was shaped like a sausage and gave no other explanation. I'm so sorry!! I was having writer's block and couldn't think of the darn word!!)
Neo turned his attention away from the damaged machines and looked at Morpheus.
"What about?"
Morpheus opened the front door of the bunker and opened the door of it and walked out with the others following to the still hovering ship.
"That clock by the matrix screens in that room. What is it? It read: 1:45:20."
Neo thought for a moment. "It's a counter to tell how much more time I had left in the matrix before I could come out. It must have meant I had one hour, forty-five minutes, and twenty seconds left."
Morpheus nodded, and then turned to the ship. He yelled for Dozer to lower it.
Neo marveled at the giant piece of machinery, taking in all of its features. Even though this was new for him, he didn't act like he was lower than them.
"Is that your ship?" He asked simply and the ship began to lower and Cypher dropped a rope down.
Morpheus nodded. "Yes. She's called the Nebuchadnezzar."
Neo nodded, watching the rope go down.
Morpheus motioned for him to climb up. Neo obeyed, pulling himself up on the rope, higher and higher until he reached the top, like it was nothing. Then the rest of the crew followed until everyone was on deck, standing in a circle around Neo. All were staring.
Morpheus broke the silence. "Trinity, take us to Zion." She nodded and made an attempt to exit the room without making eye contact with Neo, but failed miserably. He was already looking at her and before she left he gave her a smile smile that stuck in the back of her head for the rest of the day. Cypher saw and scoffed.
Morpheus went to Neo and put his hand on his shoulder. "Let me properly introduce you to the crew."
He motioned towards a very tall, very well built dark man with a stocking cap on his head. "That is Dozer." Then he pointed behind him. "And the small one behind you is Mouse." Neo turned and smiled at the man who was possibly only a couple years younger than him, but looked much younger. Mouse gave a nervous wave. Neo smiled a smile that was actually "real".
Then Morpheus turned to Switch, Apock, and Cypher who were standing together. "That's Apock, Switch, and Cypher."
Neo nodded to them, until he got to Cypher who was staring at him in a way Neo didn't like. He glared at him. The staring contest only lasted about twelve seconds, and then Morpheus wanted to give Neo a tour of the ship. He merely nodded and followed him to the next floor of the deck.
Switch and Dozer went to their duties, leaving Apock and Cypher alone glaring where Neo once was.
They looked at each other. Finally, Apock spoke, "I don't like him."
Cypher gave a gay smile. (A/N: By gay I don't mean happy, I'm calling him gay...)
"I don't trust him. I think he's going to try something."
Cypher shrugged. "Well if he does I'll be ready for him."
Apock nodded. "So will I."
