Hi, my name's Cosine. I'm the Operator aboard The Adonis. You probably know my Captain -- his name's Symmetric.
I've been a bit worried about him lately. You see, a few days ago, during our normal morning shift, I noticed he was acting a bit...weird. He was wearing this fruity outfit, like he was going on vacation to some faraway island somewhere. When he jacked out and returned to consciousness aboard our hovercraft, he ordered we immediately return to Zion.
On the trip home, he said nothing. When we docked in Zion, he looked like he was in a hurry somewhere. I figured he just wanted to get to his dorm and get some sleep. The only thing he said to me before he'd left was that he didn't want to be disturbed.
That was several days ago.
He hasn't responded to my emails. This morning, several of us came to visit his dorm, only to find the door locked. No one responded when we banged on the door, either. We checked back a few times, but still there was no response. When we'd asked around, no one knew where he was. They hadn't seen him come or go, and they hadn't heard anything coming from his room.
"Maybe he's just tired," one of his neighbors suggested.
I'm not so sure about that.
So, today I did something I hadn't done in a long time. I jacked into the Matrix. You see, I'm one of the few pod-born humans that has been given the role of Operator. My Captain picked me because of my experience in the simluation. Granted, it's been a long time, and I'm not really up to snuff on the whole combat thing, but at least I know my way around.
I put out distress calls to certain people I know my Captain has been in contact with lately:
- Misfit1, The Kings of Never
- Ryumanjisen, The Kings of Never
- Aquatium, Fallen Horizon
- Roukan, The Collective
- NightTrace, The Mega City Dept. of Energy
- Return, Avidite Syndicat
After running some routine blanket scans of the city, no traces of his RSI could be found. However, that doesn't mean he could still be out there...possibly in trouble.
I fear something terrible could have happened to him. I only hope that we can find him before it's too late.
Please, if you know anything about what could've happened to him, please let me know! If you have any information, or just need me to keep in touch with you, send me a message at OpCosine.
