The Matrix : Redefined Chapter 2
I don't own the setting or the universe. Wakowski Brothers do.
If you recognize I probably don't own em. If you don't, I might.
I just wanna play a little, that's all.
AP 1 - Day 7 (After peace)
Zion :
"Hello Morpheus" And his world skipped a beat. Morpheus, the man who had spent
his life finding the one, Recruiting the one, Teaching the one, and finally
helping the one end the war was left with almost no words.
"How are you trinity?" He asked avoiding the question he really wanted to ask.
"I'm fine, Neo will be joining me soon, then we will be on our way to you. That
is not why I called though, Bane was not a traitor, he was somehow infected by
smith and driven apparently insane. I know how that sounds, but it happened you
have to trust me on this. Somehow smith got past our firewalls and did something
to Bane, I don't know what. So you have to check everyone who has been to the
matrix since we rescued you, check for any of the irregularities that we found
in Bane's or Neo's brainwaves. Do it Morpheus, Do it now before it's to late."
"How could he?"
"I don't know Morpheus, but you've got to believe me, He did it. And he nearly
killed Neo after trying to sabotage the ship."
"O.K. trinity, we will start the scans with me. Then the rest somehow."
"One more thing Morpheus," Trinity continued, "There are sentinels coming. Don't
panic though, They are bringing the remains of the neber and the logoss. If
you need to reach me just pick up the phone and an operator will answer. It's
The same system we use, Seraph said they copied what we do. They thought it
would be the easiest to for us to use. Just say who you need to talk to and the
operator will connect you to them."
"OK, but how much longer will you and Neo be gone?" He asked concerned.
"I don't know, That will depend on how Neo does. The machines had a hard enough
time saving me. I thought I was dead, but they were able to bring me back."
"I'm glad they did trinity, I'm really glad they did. If we had a ship that flew I
would go up to broadcast depth and join you."
"No Morpheus, launching a ship right now would not be a good idea. However, I
will call you back." She said hanging up abruptly.
While Morpheus went to see about the scans and to report to the council, Trinity
Motioned to a waiter and asked if seraph was somewhere nearby. It took only a
Few minutes and he joined her at her table."
"You asked to see me." He said in his usual business first seriousness.
"Yes seraph. I need to ask the oracle if the sentinel in zion can rebroadcast
a signal so that Morpheus or others could come here and visit with Neo and I?"
"I believe so, However I will have to check with the oracle. I will return
very shortly with an answer."
She watched him go and felt somehow lonely in spite of the crowd. Being the only
Live real human being here left her with a wistful feeling made all the worse by
the knowledge that this whole chateau was done simply to give her a place to
convalesce in peace while they reassembled Neo into the requisite single piece.
"it is done." Seraph's soft voice broke in on her reverie startling her badly.
"What is done?" She heard herself asking before thinking.
"The sentinel at the docks will rebroadcast their signal and then they can join
you here for as long as you like. The Oracle had already thought of this and had
made the arrangements so it could be done if you wished."
"Thank you Seraph." She replied heart no longer racing quite as bad.
"It is not a problem, Have a nice day." He replied with a slight smile and
turned leaving her to her thoughts and reverie.
Trinity sat for a few minutes thinking of what to say before turning back
to the table, picking up the phone and calling morpheus back.
"Operator," A friendly voice with a slight bronx accent greeted her.
"Morpheus please."
"No problem ma'am, one moment please."
Trinity heard the phone ringing in the background several times before an
unfamiliar voice answered.
"Zion one, Upper docks."
"Zion one, this is operator central. I have a call for Morpheus"
"One moment central, ringing through now."
Twenty rings later a slightly out of breath Morpheus answered.
"Morpheus." He said quickly.
"Call for you Mr. Morpheus, Trinity on the line."
"Thank you operator." He said with his usual graveness.
"Hello Morpheus," Trinity spoke quietly, "Thank you operator."
"Your welcome miss trinity, Have a nice day."
"Thank you for using central services, have a nice day." The voice of the
sentinel from the upper docks broke in before disconnecting.
"What is it?" He asked
"Go ahead and broadcast your signal, the sentinel will rebroadcast it so
you can join me here." She said without preamble.
"Broadcast from here?"
"Yes, Oracle said it is safe. You will be on your own hardware so you can just
pull out any time you want to. When you leave the construct you will be here
wherever this place is."
"Are you sure about this?"
"Yes, I want you here when Neo arrives. I think he will need the moral support.
In fact I think you should bring anyone who wants to. I don't think this is part
of the matrix itself."
"Then what is it?"
"Just a place they made for Neo and I to recover in."
"I'll talk to some people, we'll see."
"Thanks Morpheus. I'll be here."
"Talk to you soon Trinity, hang in there."
Morpheus waited a moment after hanging up then picked up the phone again.
"Operator, Zion One, How can I help you."
"This is Morpheus."
"Yes sir, Your voice is recognized."
"I need to know how to get a signal out so I can join Trinity."
"That should not be a problem sir." It replied, "According to my tactical
data the transmitters on board the Hammer should still be operational. To
the best of the information available they were not being used when the EMP
device was detonated. Being unpowered they should have been protected from the
blast by normal safeties."
"Thank you, I will check that out as soon as possible. . . Can I ask you a
question?" He asked after delaying a few seconds.
"Certainly, If I can answer it I will to the best of my ability."
"Are you the sentinel in front of me or a program somewhere else?"
"I assure you, I am indeed the unit in front of you."
"Why are you here?"
"My purpose right now is to act as a communications gateway to the matrix."
"And could that mission include killing as many of us as possible?"
"I assure you Morpheus," The sentinel replied using his name for the first time,
"That neither my program nor my purpose here includes harm to any human."
"But that could change?"
"Yes, at any time. And in all fairness I should also tell you that if I was
programmed to harm anyone and to not tell you that, I would then lie in order
to carry out my purpose. So you have every reason to distrust me, Right down to
distrusting my basic honesty in telling you this in the first place."
"OK," Morpheus replied stunned by the words of the sentinel, "I'll go check on
the Hammer."
"Very good sir, Have a nice day."
Morpheus walked away to go see locke and the council to tell them about this
latest news but not what he intended to do.
Surface :
Neo blinked, The very whiteness of a construct program came into focus. A
figure slowly came into focus in it with him.
"Hello," He croaked.
"Hello Neo, You did it. Smith has been stopped. No you are not dead, This is a
type of construct, Yes trinity is alive and Yes there is at the moment peace
between the machines and the humans. Want a cookie?"
"I know how you do that now, and no I don't want a cookie. I would like some
water though," and so saying Neo reached over to his right somewhere without
looking and his hand came back with a full glass of water in a tall clear tumbler.
"Very good Neo. Looks like you won't be needing my cookies anymore for a while
will you." She replied with a somewhat reassured though worried smile.
"Where's Trinity?"
"She is in a restaurant construct copied from one of the places she was around
while she was growing up. Seraph has been keeping an eye on her while she heals
in body and mind."
"Why am I alive."
"Surely Neo you can see that. . "
"Bullshit. That might explain my or Trinities survival, But, Not both of us. And
certainly not both with as much work as I suspect you put into this."
"There are complications."
"Smith is dead. I felt him die." He replied vehemently.
"Yes Neo you did. However we had to do a lot of editing. We've never done that
much editing at one time before. There are signs that we could have missed a
couple of things."
"What kind of things oracle? and don't give me that you don't want to say until
you are sure crap."
"Well you seem to have already made up your mind about a lot even with so little
time to think about it."
"What happened?"
"An editor and an agent acting as his guard disappeared."
