Downtown: “So you’re telling me that the War is over, but Zion and EPNs are still trying to free people, why?” Ask Mr. Summer “Because these people did not ask to be in here, they need a choice, and we bring them that choice,” answered Vitol, his mentor.
Mr. Summer has been awakened for two months now. Within those two months, he’s trained in Kung Fu, Coding, and Hacking. So far, Kung Fu was his favorite. He was able to strike down anyone in his hovercraft in mere seconds. Even though his knowledge of The Matrix, and how to operate inside of it has increased, there was still something missing in his life. He was missing his wife and son. The day he was awaken still haunted him.
“Well I sure as hell wasn’t giving a choice! Remember, three of your guys pinned me down and made me take the pill.” “That was an accident, we didn’t mean for that to happen, you have to believe me, I did not mean for that to happen.” “Try telling that to my family…” Mr. Summer said under his breath. “Follow me.”
Mr. Summer and Vitol walk over to a hardline, Vitol dials up Mannsdale Housing Project. Every time they transport to another area of Mega City, Mr. Summer still feels funny, it feels like his whole body went to sleep. In a few seconds Vitol and Mr. Summer comes out of the hardline to Mannsdale Housing Project Center. “This was your old neighborhood right?” Asked Vitol. “Yes it was, this brings back many memories, most of them happy.” Answered Mr. Summer “Go to your old house.” Mr. Summer wasn’t sure what Vitol was trying to show him, but he decides he might as well humor Vitol. He walks down to his old house, his RSI has changed clothes, but he still kept the key around his neck on a chain. He unlocks the door and slowly walks in. Everything was dark, and the place was void of furniture.
“They’re gone. They disappeared as soon as you were awakened. We aren’t sure, but we think the machines have deleted them.” Said Vitol. “But why, they aren’t programs, they’re human beings who just happen to be hooked into The Matrix.” Vitol didn’t answer him; Mr. Summer lets out a sigh and then walks over to the hardline. “Operator, jack me out.” Back aboard the hovercraft, Mr. Summer and Vitol wake up from being in The Matrix. “Let me explain….” However Mr. Summer would not listen, he walked into his chamber and locked it.
<><><><><><><><><><><><>
Mr. Summer was lying on his bunk, looking at the picture of his wife and son. He knows they’re only RSI, but he still loves and cares about them. He knows they’re still in The Matrix. He just has to find them. Of course he can’t escape right now; he’s still not “trusted” enough to be let loose in The Matrix. All the sudden a message appear on his computer.
“We know where your family is, they are not dead, and they are alive. We can also offer you the real truth. If you want to know, please meet me outside your hovercraft at 2300 hours. ~Ath”
“Hmm, well it sure as hell can’t be any worse than being here.” Mr. Summer thought. At 2200 hours, the hovercraft was parked for the night and everyone was asleep. Mr. Summer gathers up his belongings and headed out. He stepped out into the cold Real, it was really cold. He put his hood up and waited. Soon a small hovercraft came up and a door opened up. “Come in.” Spoke a voice. Mr. Summer looked back at his old hovercraft and then climbs in the new one. The hovercraft takes a small access tunnel and then it stops at a cargo bay door. “This is Alpha Tango Hotel Five Zero Five.” Spoke Atheros. “Roger” responded a female voice. The hovercraft goes into the bay, and there it lands on a small pad. Atheros and Mr. Summer get out of the craft and leads him into the main area. They walk into a small kitchen with a table and four chairs. Atheros and Mr. Summer sat down and look at one another.
“We’ve been watching you, we saw what happened to you, and we’ve monitored your conversations in the Matrix. What Vitol has said to you is a lie, your family is not dead or deleted, they just simply moved to an apartment near Debir Court. The Truth is most of the people in The Matrix never know that it’s just a simulation, and really they don’t care. Let me tell you something, reality, is something you decide on yourself. I mean take faith. There’s no proof of a God, or Devil, Hell or Heaven. However, people believe that God does exist, that there is a Heaven or Hell. To them, all of that is already a reality. So remember, reality, is just what you make it.” Explain Atheros.
“Then why are they trying to ‘free’ everyone.”
“Because they think it’s a prison, they think that freeing everyone will make the world better. Have you seen what it’s like above the surface?”
“Yes I have.”
“Do you really want people to ‘awake’ to that?”
“No.”
“Now I’m not saying that I am a Cypherite, but I don’t believe in people just for the sake of ‘freeing’ them. I believe in awaking them if they will serve a purpose in this ‘reality’”.
Data rush into the room, “Ath, you, Agent Pace wants to meet you two, now.” Atheros looks at Mr. Summer, its Jack in time.” Atheros and Mr. Summer sat down in the chair and strap themselves in. “Pace wants to meet you guys at Debir Court, so I will drop you guys off at Mara Central.” “Thank you Data,” replied Atheros.
Mr. Summer and Atheros walk over from Mara Central to Debir Court. There the beautiful Agent Pace was waiting for them. “Good Morning Gentlemen, Hello Mr. Summer, my name is Agent Pace. I am an Agent program designed for human interaction. As you can see, I am more ‘user friendly’. I’m sure we’ll see more of each other in the future. The reason I have called you both here because like Atheros, we’ve noticed how Mr. Summer was extracted from the system, and we would like to extend an offer for him to tell us how it happened, so that it can be prevented in the future. After all the truce states that they must be given a choice. Hopefully Mr. Summer will join our side.” Mr. Summer looks at Pace, and studies her. Then he asks, “Where is my family.” “Come right this way.” Pace led them to a part of the apartment complex, she points up to the top deck. There, Mr. Summer sees Kayla and Daniel playing together. He wants to shout at them, but something was holding them back. Pace puts her hand on his shoulder. “If you do decide to work for us, we’ll protect them. Well gentlemen, it was nice meeting you, I must go before I attract too much attention.” Agent Pace slowly walks away from them and she unlocks a door in the small hut at the end of the court, Mr. Summer could see a white hallway on the other side. Pace enters the hallways, and then the door slams behind her.
“So, what do you think pretty good deal huh?” Ask Atheros. “I’ll do it, I want people to have a choice, and I want them protected.” “Good, so, what will your new name be?” Mr. Summer looks at Atheros in the eyes, “MetaLogic."
