Nina sat up on her new bed. She was clothed in the same clothes she was wearing in the Matrix. She was in a gray bunker, not much, but she had the room all to herself.
Carefully she stood up and opened the door. The halls didn't look any different, except for the mass cables and wires running across the walls and ceiling. Nina quickly found a latter, leading to an upper floor. After a quick decision, she ascended. The rusty latter opened up to another hallway, same as the one bellow. She followed the cords, curious on where they might lead. With quiet steps, she emerged unto the main deck.
Nina knew this was a hovercraft, so she didn't seem surprised at the strange flying motions. As she entered the room, and was met by a stern Morpheus and a startled Trinity.
"Glad to see you made it safely." Trinity spoke at last.
"I'm just glad I'm in one piece." Nina responded.
Trinity poked a tiny needle into Nina's arm. Nina winced and drew back.
"What was that for?"
"I was checking your heart rate and your blood pressure. Everything seems to be normal." Trinity answered.
"Well, where's the rest of the crew?" Nina asked.
"Right here." Morpheus said stretching out his hand, gesturing to the group of people huddled around a computer monitor.
"This is Switch," Morpheus said pointing to a lady with pale white hair and skin, "and this is Tank, and his brother Dozer," Morpheus continued, pointing again to two African-American men standing by a set of computers.
"Over here is Apock and Mouse." The taller one being Apock, his messy black hair tied in a low pony tail, and the smaller one Mouse, wearing a dark green beanie.
"And lastly is Cypher." Cypher looked at her weirdly.
"How old are you?" He asked rudely.
"Thirteen." Nina answered. "But I'm probably more mature than you are."
Cypher sneered and turned away.
"Neo should be arriving shortly, right?" Nina asked.
"Yep. He should be in range soon. And by the way, who are you?" Tank muttered.
"This is Nina. And she's a little different than the rest of us." Morpheus introduced.
"What do you mean by 'different'?" Switch asked.
Nina looked up at Switch and opened her mouth to answer. But before she could, Tank announced, "We've got Neo. He's coming up right now!"
A small hatch opened up, and darkness streamed in as a mechanical claw made it visible and then an unconscious Neo. He barley moved, and he took short breaths.
The claw placed his body on the cold floor and the hatch closed once more. Neo rolled a little and then came to a stop at Nina's feet.
She closed her eyes and veered away in disgust. At least her body didn't look like that when she entered the real world. Trinity, Morpheus, Switch, Apock, and Cypher came over to look at their new crewmember.
"Lets take him to the infirmary right away." Trinity commanded.
Nina silently watched as they picked up Neo and carried him into another room. Morpheus was the only one to stay behind.
"Do you wish form them to know your identity?" He asked.
"Yes. But I am afraid they will be afraid of me. I mean, when I told Neo, he punched me in the face."
"Maybe you should give it time. Two new people have just arrived, and the crew is in a little shock. It's been a long time since we rescued someone."
"But you had to rescue Neo, because he's the One."
"How are you so certain?"
"Lucky guess. You'll probably find the answers in time. But not now." Nina finished.
"You sound just like the Oracle." Morpheus commented.
Nina shrugged. She looked over at Tank and Dozer who were talking, and glancing at the computer screen, and then at Morpheus one last time.
"I'm going to go check on Neo, okay?"
"Okay."
"Morpheus?"
"Yes?"
"One last thing. Do you think Neo will remember me from the Matrix?" Nina asked.
"There is no way to tell for sure." He answered.
Nina hung her head and then went to look for Neo.
