After abandon this story from the lack of feedback I figured I'd give it a second chance. Please, please review!
I don't own the Matrix, only my characters ect..............................................
The first thing Signet felt was a breeze of cold air. Her vision was blurred for a few moments, then it cleared and she was able to take a proper look at her surroundings.
She was standing in the middle of a street. There were tall buildings around her, but not a single car nor any people around. Signet took a few steps and glared up at the cloudy sky. This was amazing. Maybe this wasn't so bad after all? Even though she had been forced into this project...
She jumped at the sound of a cell phone ringing, and it came from her own pocket. By instinct, Signet picked it up and answered. At the instance she put it to her ear, she heard her "Friend's" voice.
"Good Signet, you are in. How are you feeling?" Mitai actually sounded concerned.
"You know I didn't volunteer for this" Signet said in a stern and almost hurt tone.
"We didn't have that option. Now, it's very important that you co-operate with us and do exactly as I tell you to..."
"What if I don't?"
"Then your life will be in danger..."
Signet interrupted. "Is that a threat?" she said in an offensive tone.
"No. As I said, this will be the first actual test, and we can't guarantee that everything run smoothly. So if you don't co-operate, you might put your life in danger, against our will of course." Mitai's voice was so annoyingly calm. Signet spent a few moments thinking of what Mitai just said. She felt that she had only one choice.
"Fine. I'll do as you say."
"Good choice. Now, to your right there is a door. Go inside, and find the elevator. Don't hang up." Signet spotted the glass door to her right and she stepped inside. This felt so real, yet so absurd. She was still against this project; it felt so wrong to do something like this. But what could she do? Nothing, at least not as long as she was jacked in here. She would have to see what was going to happen as soon as they jacked her out. They would do that, right?
Signet stopped at the elevator, and Mitai spoke to her again. "There is a hands free set in your pocket. Plug it in, and put the plug in your ear." Signet did so, and stepped inside the elevator.
"Good. Get to the third floor, and enter the next door. You will enter an apartment." Signet did as requested. She went in the front door, and looked around. It was dark and ugly; Mitai sure wasn't an interior designer.
"There will be a desk with a computer on in here. We will use it to test the connection between the Matrix and outside." Signet spotted it by the window, and she sat down in the chair. She let the cell phone slip back into her pocket, and put the plug in her ear.
"Locate the file called 'connection.exe' and activate it." It was easy to find, the computer was turned on and the file was on the desktop. She clicked it, and something loaded.
"Connection works fine," Mitai said happily.
"Thank you for your help."
"You are welcome" Signet said in a very sarcastic tone. "Am I done now?"
"Afraid not. You still haven't met my Agent."
"What??" Signet remembered the cold-hearted Agent programs from the movies too well. Not even in her wildest dreams would she think that she would stand face to face with an Agent.
"Go back the same way you came. He will be waiting for you on the street. And he won't hurt you." Signet didn't answer. She reluctantly took the elevator down and went back into the street. And sure enough, there was an Agent there. He took a few steps towards her as he spoke.
"Greetings miss Signet. I'm Agent Black." Signet was intimidated; she just nodded and smiled slightly. Just how smart was this Agent? She stared at him, as he was standing there in front of her in his perfect suit and sunglasses. Agent Black cocked his head slightly to the side, and looked back at her. "Well?" he said.
"Go on, talk to him," Mitai said. "I need to test his AI." Signet felt awkward talking to an AI. She had no idea what to say. There was another pause before she spoke.
"So, um, do you like it in here?" As soon as she had talked she realised how dorky that question sounded. But the agent answered.
"Well now, I don't have any feelings like that. I am programmed to be only in here, so I don't know of anything else. This is my reality." Signet nodded, and thought again.
"What is your purpose in here? I mean, I'm not unwanted or anything..."
"I'm simply here to make sure everything runs smoothly from the inside. Without me, this Matrix wouldn't be possible." Agent Black smiled.
"And what is the purpose of this Matrix?" Signet felt more confident.
"I do not know, my creator haven't told me."
"Grammar slip." She didn't even think before she commented on the fact that the Agent said 'haven't' instead of 'hasn't'. The Agent looked at her and opened his mouth. Then something weird happened. A piece of paper flew between them, it did a loop in the air. A second after, she saw the same piece of paper fly between them and do the loop. Agent Black no longer looked serious, he looked hostile as he put his hand into his coat.
