(Chapter 9 concluded) Wincing behind his glasses as more bits of debris flew in his face from a bullet hitting the floor in front of him, Janus reached to his belt and pulled out a fragment grenade. He pulled the pin as Kira fired three mo...
(Chapter 9 cont'd) Anubis made his rounds as though he were taking a stroll in the park. His gun remained in its shoulder holster, and his sword remained sheathed. His shoes were the only noise that could really be heard as he went down th...
(Chapter 9 cont'd) Irvine payed close attention. As the code strands streamed down the screen, one strand disappeared from its location altogether and reappeared on the other side of the screen, and as it happened, the rest of the coding i...
(Chapter 9 cont'd) Raven couldn't have been more pleased with himself at his accomplishment. Before him, he watched as Axe, the ship's operator, was typing with great hype at his monitor, browsing through the simulacra Raven had obtained f...
Chapter 9: A Glitch in the Matrix Date: Approx 2204 Time: - Area: Tunnels of the Real The Vehemens slowly cruised through the tunnels of the unknown region, the bright search lights and the blue energy generated from the hover pads providi...
There's like three awesome money shots of Agent Gray with his gun in an Elite Commando's face like he's about to blow them away. Like Agent Brown when he was like "Only human"
Also, it's key to point out that even after Neo tells him that The One was just another form of control, Morpheus firmly says "I don't believe that." -- No matter what, he believes, even if he's told it's all just a lie.
(Chapter 8 concluded) On the main deck, Glitch, Kira, and Janus were hanging out. Janus leaned against a bulkhead while Kira stood up on a ladder. Glitch was standing, pacing around, quizzing Janus. "Okay, the Construct..." "Holding progra...
(Chapter 8 continued) The Nemesis' mess hall wasn't really the most glorious looking part of the ship, but then again, not a lot of hover ships were that way. As far as old-time ship classification would be concerned, the Nemesis would be...
(Chapter 8 continued) Niobe and Link sat at the controls in the cockpit. They slowly drifted down an entrance tunnel approaching Zion gate six. Wires hung like vines from junctions and metal criss-crossed to form frames that loomed overhea...
(Chapter 8 continued) Anome immediately jumped at the man's voice, to which Raven held his arms up in the air. "It's alright, Arius. If he doesn't want to sit, then we should honor his decision. After all, Captain Anome is technically sitt...
(Chapter 8 continued) "Almost finished..." Once he accessed the final circuitry path, he switched the root path so instead of the auxiliary power spreading out to the entire ship, it would go directly to the priority emergency systems and...
(Chapter 8 continued) Balthasar rose from his seat quickly and poked his head down the hallway leading to the quarters. "Hey! Love birds! Vertical tilt, find something to hold onto!" Leon and Sonia, who lay under covers, looked at each oth...
Chapter 8: Other than the Matrix Date: Approx 2203 Time: - Area: Tunnels of the Real The Nosferatu sat dormant on the composure of rock and metal that made up the ground it sat upon, and the walls that surrounded it. The tunnel was dark an...
It doesn't matter - names are names and this is the Matrix universe. The religious parallels are all over the place. You guys even have Agents running around with Angel wings. Looks like I've got some complaining to do.
That sucks! How hypocritical! Morpheus is the Greek God of dreams, Niobe is another character of Greek mythology, as is Persephone ,and I can't get the name of a moon/Roman god?!
(Chapter 7 concluded) Now, instead of standing on a rooftop, Janus stood in a crowded street full of pedestrians and cars, and skyscrapers towered over him. There were changes on him as well. Adding to what he was already wearing, the brig...
(Chapter 7 continued) "What's his status?" "He's doing pretty good, guy hasn't stopped yet." "How long until he's finished?" "You couldn't have come at a better time." He watched as a bar finished growing from one point on a screen to the...
Chapter 7: Free Your Mind Date: Approx 2203 Time: - Area: Tunnels of the Real Janus awoke, and he realized that he was still in his quarters aboard the Nemesis. He'd been dreaming of his old life inside the Matrix, and waking up to this wa...
(Chapter 6 concluded) Several hours later, Irvine went to check on Janus and found him sitting in his bed staring into space. "You doing any better?" Janus nodded his head. "I'll be fine. You mentioned a war before." Irvine nodded. "What o...
(Chapter 6 cont'd) He snapped, and the buildings transformed from tall, strong supported structures to crumbled, charred towers of what remained. The sky was black with little light passing through the clouds. Lightning cracked the sky and...
Since people seem only know how to read and not reply, I had to resort to bumping the thread myself by posting the next chapter. Thanks for the feedback to those who gave it. Chapter 6: Reality Check Date: Approx 2203 Time: - Area: Tunnels...
Customer Service/Dev team: I wanted to use the name Janus on the Recursion server, but I got a message that said it contained language that might offend people (the word 'anus' in Janus). I think this is ridiculous, because Janus is not on...
Chapter 5: A Pirate's life for me Date: Unknown Time: Unknown Area: Tunnels of the Real Janus lay on a table, completely bare except for the cloth covering his groin. The table was lined with white fluorescent light bulbs, giving off brigh...
(Chapter 4 concluded -- didn't realize it was this long!) An hour had passed since Irvine and his crew had jacked out of the Matrix. They had to take emergency protocol procedures and drop from broadcast depth, and then locate a new place...
(Chapter 4 continued) Irvine stood in the center of the room with his arms crossed. He wore a simple three piece black suit, the jacket of which was knee length. His shirt underneath was red wine colored, with a matching tie. He grinned up...
Chapter 4: You never see it coming 12-8-03 5:30PM MCPD Without realizing that he was staring at the floor in his deep thought, Vince knew Indigo came through. Soon. He shook his head. Now he knew he was out there, but he hadn't the slighte...
(Chapter 3 continued) 11:14PM Since he didn't want to waste time brewing up coffee as a stimulant, Vince popped a caffeine pill once he got into his car and drove off. Tonight, his destination was Guiness Lake, in the Barrens District. He...
Chapter 3: The Man from the other side ---- MCPD 12-7-03 4:45PM In the thirty five minutes that had passed since he had gotten back, Vince had began writing the report on the evidence he found and almost died of boredom reliving the moment...
(Note to the reader: I know it's been a little slow in the story so far. After this chapter it speeds up and gets more like a Matrix story and less like a cop story, I promise.) Chapter 2: The clues don't add up ---- MCPD 12-7-03 3:00PM Vi...
Chapter 1: Life's too short ---- MCPD 12-6-03 5:30PM Vince sat at his desk in his office. His elbow rested on the desk top as he stared at the blank screen on his monitor. The sign-in box was on the screen. The cursor blinked every second....

I used to be a beta tester. But I forgot my login information, so I had to pick my handle in a different spelling. What pissed me off was whenever I went to register another station name and handle, I'd get some "Error has occured" page. T...
