The VIrus....
1.0 - Realisation..
He starts his day like every other normal day, he gets up, cleanses himself, gets dressed and trains. But this wasn't a normal day, everything seemed out of place to him.. It was odd.. Like the feeling you get when you know something's not right.. He checked everything, from his clothes locker to his bed, being observant he noticed certain things were out of place. Mainly because he had put certain things in certain places so he could tell if someone had been looking for something, something important.. He turned around and as if like magic, everything was back to normal, also he felt quite tired all of a sudden like he had been getting no sleep at all, maybe it was a VIrus, maybe it was his mind getting confused.
Thinking nothing of it, Resident walked from his quarters up to the main deck where Kraler and SnowKitty were carrying out some light repairs to the inner hull. Walking past them the usual sarcastic comment or joke would fly right out of Kraler's mouth, noticing this slight abnormality in his own First mates behaviour, he turned round and walked back to talk with them.. Funnily enough they were still there, but still no sarcastic jokes or comments, even though Resident made himself heard by walking as loudly as possible and singing his favourite Stevey Wonder tune. Superstitious.. Upon his return Kraler glanced at him and the same with SnowKitty, both giving him rather blank looks. No facial expressions, almost like there faces were glued in that position..
"I'm gonna go check on Frea and Neb, see what they are getting up to.." Muttered Resident as he walked away from the 2 blank operatives..
Yet again, no witty comments from either of them..
Resident made it down to the operations deck with Frea and DarkNebula sat in the cantine, eating their slop, having a good time laughing and what not. He decided to join them to say hello and stuffs..
"Hey Frea, Neb.. Have you noticed anything weird about the other two?" asked the bewildered captain..
"no" Replied Frea... "why?"
"Oh nevermind, just getting confused in my old age.." joked Resident..
"But you're only 26 sir.. Oh..wait.. No, nevermind...." Said DarkNebula..
The bewildered captain rolled his eyes and continued towards the Operators station, upon hitting a few keystrokes the monitors fired up only to display nothing. Usually the main screens would show the Matrix construct code, flowing like rain down the screen, but today it looked rather odd. Just the odd one or two lines and the odd letter. He raised an eyebrow and hit escape a few times then a bright flash was given off by the monitors, it blinded him for a few seconds but once regaining his sight he noticed that the construct code was flowing like it usually would.. Resident just shook his head and prepared the computers for an automated jack in..
Next he woke up in a white room, like a loading construct but way different. For a start it didn't feel like the loading construct he was used to, atleast not the one that Zion provided with every ship that they built, it felt odd. It felt like he was being watched from every angle, like every movement he made was being documented and recorded.
Little did he know how far was from the truth...
