Trinity went back to her small apartment and waited. It seemed like she was always waiting. Waiting for something, for someone, she didn't know for sure. Maybe it would be worth it when whatever it was decided to show up.

It was a quarter to midnight when she headed out the door for what she would soon learn would be the last time.

She arrived at the abandoned hotel building just in time and was greeted by a tall dark haired man in black leather.

"Trinity?"

"Yeah, that's right. Who are you?"

"My name is Apoc. I'll take you to him."

She followed the man upstairs and into a new life. When she took the red pill from Morpheus she had no idea what a leap of faith it would turn out to be.


After a few months of recuperation and muscle regrowth, Trinity woke up in a different bed with different clothes, no hair, and plugs in her arms. Not to mention the fact that she felt as though she's never be warm again.

She learned quickly, her hair grew back, and she even got used to the cold. The food wasn't that bad, either. Better than nothing she assumed. But she still felt a little lost. Like she had no purpose. Like she was still waiting.

Then one day Morpheus announced that he was taking her to visit the Oracle.

"Hello Trinity. Have a seat."

She sat at the small kitchen table nervously awaiting the woman's judgement. She never would have expected the question that was asked next.

"Have you ever been in love?"

"Excuse me?"

"It's a very simple question, Trinity."

"No, I haven't."

"You will be."

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"Everything. You see, you will fall in love with the One."

Morpheus had told her about the prophecy.

"How do you know that?"

"It is my purpose to know. Morpheus is waiting and others are on their way, you should go."

Trinity rose angrily and turned to leave.

"Trinity?"

She turned back to the older woman.

"You will find what you are looking for."

Trinity nodded and exited the apartment.


It wasn't her first time in Zion. They had docked briefly after she had been unplugged for some much needed rest. A strange thing had happened on the day of her "birth" and Morpheus was anxious to speak with the other captains about it. It seemed that two people had been unplugged on the same day at almost exactly the same time. This was very dangerous. There was always the chance that the two signals could have gotten crossed and one person would have been left to die in the sewers. For this reason, it was considered a special event when "twins" were born. Trinity was one of a set. She met her "brother" on that first visit to Zion. They had grown close even though they rarely saw each other face to face. So after her visit with the Oracle, it was Ghost she was most anxious to speak with.

She found him almost immediately upon their arrival.

"Hello Brother."

"It's good to see you again, sister. Did they take you to the Oracle?"

"That's what I came to tell you about. I noticed something in the Oracle's apartment and I wanted to ask you about it."

"Go ahead."

"What does 'Temet Nosce' mean?"

Ghost smiled, "It's Latin. It means, 'Know Thyself"."

"Really…"

"So what did she tell you?"

"She told me…that I would fall in love with the One."

She didn't see the look of pain that passed briefly over Ghost's face. She was too busy thinking about what he had just told her.


They only returned to Zion every 6 months or so. Morpheus kept his crew very busy. Days then weeks then months and finally years went by. Nothing changed. She became a very skilled soldier and was eventually promoted to second in command. Then one day something was different.

"I have a new assignment for you Trinity."

She turned to see Morpheus in the doorway of her cramped quarters.

"What is it?"

"I need you to watch a man inside. I think he may be important."

"Alright. What's the name?"

"Thomas Anderson."
