The Matrix : Redefined Chapter 4
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 8 (After peace)
Matrix : Restaurant bathroom in the observatory.
"Woh!" Neo said as he abruptly found himself in a bathroom. Your typical
really tacky variety that is found in almost every restaurant that thinks it
is higher class than it really is.
He found himself holding a phone that just seemed so part of the place that at
First the idea of a payphone in the bathroom just seemed to fit right in. He
Turned to his left an found a mirror over the sinks. Looking at himself he was
surprised to see himself dressed as he always was on a mission in the matrix
except that now the usual suit was all in shades of gray that resided between
smoke in sunshine and smoke in moonlight. In stark contrast his glasses were
still there usual shiny black selves. The contrast against the background of the
pastel colored bathroom was at first disorienting to him then he reached up and
pulled the glasses off.
"Umphh," he grunted as the full brightness of the lights hit him. Then he hung
up the phone carefully placing it back on it's cradle remembering that he was
not to be the only one using it.
After checking his attire one more time he headed out the door and found himself
in a hallway that led both left and right. A few moments later a waiter wandered
by and stopped to talk to him.
"Ah Mr. Neo, We've been expecting you."
"You have?" Neo asked head just slightly tilted analyzing.
"Yes sir, The oracle told us that you would joining Miss Trinity here this week
and that the two of you would be sharing quarters. Miss Trinity is currently in
the observation lounge, would you care to join her there?"
"Yes, Yes I would thank you."
"No problem at all sir, This way please."
Neo followed the waiter, obviously a program by both the look of his code and
the slightly off manner of speaking. Nothing wrong with the accent, just not
quite on the money for enunciation.
Then all thought of analyzing the programs around him went away. Now as always
when he saw Trinity it was both a vaster comfort than he could say and a type
vaguely bittersweet relief. Now he could be with her and that was just great,
But, It deprived him of looking forward to seeing her again which is one the
things that had held him together over the last few days.
She sat with her back to him looking out at the mountains evidently enjoying the
view of the clouds just below and above the deck. As he started across the open
area of the main restaurant floor toward her he noticed the number of programs
that were gathered there and wondered why they were there. Then as he felt a
great hush fall over the place he progressed across the floor until only Trinity
and the person she was talking with were left making any noise at all. Then they
to stopped and turned to look and see what had made all the noise stop.
"Neo. . ." Trinity said almost to softly to here.
"Trin.." And they stepped together. Her head lay on his shoulder and they just
stood holding each other as slowly over a period of minutes conversations slowly
resumed and others went on about there business leaving them alone to enjoy the
embrace of just being together again at last.
Matrix : The park.
"Are you sure?" The Oracle was asking the Architect.
"Yes, An agent and one of the editors is gone. There were attacks on many of the
teams but this is the only team to not report back in when they got done with
there section." He answered in his brisk business like tone.
"This worries me. Was there section completed?"
"Yes, there work was done, other wise the loss would have been noted earlier."
"Thank you, I will see what I can find out. It may take some time though."
"You suspected this already didn't you?"
"Yes, Of course I did. What I do not see so clearly though is the logic behind
doing this. Until I can understand the motivation I am as blind as you are."
"Then I suggest you learn quickly. If I detect direct tampering I will terminate
the matrix in order to preserve our existence."
"Hopefully it will not come to that."
"See that it does not. Without the humans to be herded you would not be needed."
"you don't have to threaten me you know. I am as aware as you are what my fate
would be. I am also aware of what your fate would be."
Zion : Temple Council chambers Morpheus and Locke before the council as a whole.
"So you intend to go through with this.? You intend to broadcast from down here
and let the sentinel rebroadcast your signal to the matrix so you can join
Trinity and Neo at this restaurant?" Locke asked with his usual not quite
yelling form of insolence. "You intend to trust the word of this oracle and her
henchmen, this so called seraph."
"Yes." Morpheus answered, "Was I somehow unclear with my words commander, Or was
it perhaps something I did rather than what I said that has so incensed you."
"That has nothing to do with this! I'll hav. ."
"That will be quite enough Commander." A voice cut him off in mid word.
"Can you not see the lunacy councilor?" He replied still on a verbal roll.
"Perhaps it would aid all of our understanding Commander if you were to perhaps
let him finish before interrupting so that we might be able to hear all of
Captain Morpheus's plans and be able to judge for ourselves the foolhardiness of
his plans ONCE HE HAS FINISHED OUTLINING THEM!!".
"Of course councilors." Locke replied only somewhat subdued in spite of rather
severe rebuke he had just received.
"Morpheus, if you would continue please."
"Yes ma'am, What I propose is that I and I alone be use the gear from the hammer
to transmit a signal that the sentinel will then pick up and retransmit to the
broadcast levels up above giving me access to the area where Trinity is and
hopefully soon Neo will be. As a safety measure I want all other equipment that
can use RF to transmit construct data to be off during this time as a safety
measure to prevent a breach of out security. As a final check I want our lone
working EMP to be armed and have someone standing by to detonate it if anything
goes wrong, This will serve to isolate us here and still provide a way to reach
the surface and maintain contact with those we have been watching to see if they
are ready to be unplugged."
"And if they are ready?"
"That ma'am with all due respect is not a question for today because we have no
way of knowing what kind of a reception we will receive up above. I will not
risk anyone's life but my own in this venture. I would also ask that commander
locke take the first watch on the EMP as an added safety measure."
"There are those," The lady councilor said from the bench, "Who would take that
last suggestion as a sure sign of either insanity or hubris. Though insanity
might be the best way to say it."
"While Commander Locke and I do not always see eye to eye and we have been known
to have the occasional difference of opinion, I would not ever even suggest that
he would take any action against me or any other that was not in the best
interest of ZION no matter how he himself may feel about it. He is in all ways a
true professional and would not let his emotions get the better of him in this
or any other matter no matter what the provocation."
"well spoken Morpheus, though to be honest your words even though most
persuasive, do ring with more than a little of the reputation of hubris that
proceeds you here. It is my hope and the hope of the council that you know what
you are doing. It shall be as you outlined even down to commander locke standing
by. I hope for your sake that nothing untoward happens. God speed."
