USH'S MATRIX GAME: FIRST ASSIGNMENT- 'Codecracker'

Started by Bespin Bart33 pages

Alright, good night then TM! Thanks for saving me from Agent Dumbass! 😄

"Sounds like the Captain is taking it real well, then," Mors mutters sarcastically. "You got those painkillers in me yet?"

G'night Ush!

"Alright, Fire, let's get out of here..." Ares fires 2 bursts at the last driver.

"Goddamn, doesn't this thing go any faster?!" Heph shouts. "I'm so damn sorry Celsius! Keep with me! We'll be out of here soon."

*pulls a U-turn with the car and starts to drive out of there as mad*

(So as I'm out cold, I jusst lie araoud like a fish? hoping that Coeus can hold his own?)

"get...those...bastads" *I say to Coeus in a weak voice* "I'll be fine."

okay so i'm in the car....no spare weapons in sight, eh?

No, big weapon-shaped gap where the spare weapons should be, Rade!

Ok, Ares, Coeus actually already killed the last driver, but your burst rolls +3 and blows away one of the remaining gunners.

Technically you have another turn of being fired at, but I think at this point it is all done.

You scream out off the airfield and over a barrier into the city streets. The vehiclews continue to chase you, and more police cars are vectored on you, but the pursuit is less vigorous than you might have imagined- and no Agents.

Soon, you dump your vehicles and escape into the city strreets, directed by Ariadne and Finn...

Cutscene

The Blonde girl dashes along the grass verges to one side of the tarmac. Behind her, the Agent chases, grimly.

The Blonde girl skitters around a corner, slipping slightly as she does so, giving the Agent a chance to catch up.

But as the Agent closes, there is an enormous cacophony of gunfire. The Agent begins to blur as bullet hammer by him, and then bodily throes humself behind a concrete bollard as the volume of bullets becomes too much for him to handle.

The shooter is in the back of a nearby van, an Indian woman behind the mount of a large fixed Browning Machine Gun with an enormous ammo feed. She continues to fire- she has enough ammonition to fire continuously for some 30 seconds.

The blonde girl dashes forwards and climbs aboard the van.

"What the hell did you think you were doing?" yells a man in the front seat- the one that Burn saw blowing away the policemen earlier.

"I, uhh, got caught up," she says.

"Doing what, daydreaming? As if not enough things have gone wrong without thiose bastards ruining everything."

"I think they got away," replies the blonde girl.

"Oh well that's ok then!" he says, mockingly, rolling his eyes. "Everything is fine NOW, isn't it? Ok, come on, let's go, let's go..."

The van screeches and pulls away. The Agent gets up, and looks at the retreating van, raising his hand to his earpience.

"Hmm," he says.

And at this point, Ariadne has to stop tracking the situation as she guides you to your exits...

-----

Twenty minutes later, all of you are out, having retreated to your seperate hardlines.

"What the hell was going on in there???" are Dallas' friendly opening words. He has an enormous bandage around his head that he is trying to cover with his hat.

A rather more concerned looking Ariadne heads over to Coeus and Mors. "You guys ok?" she asks. You neither feel nor look ok.

Back on the Percy...

"Sshh, my friend, don't try to talk," says Captain Marduk, as he tends to your wounds, Celsius. You feel a little better than you did in the Matrix, feeling more like you have been run over by a tank rather than shot to pieces. Marduk is bandaging you.

"Finn," he orders, "pull everyone else off their stations; they are to leave the Matrix at once. The Machines will almost certainly do a security sweep on all sensitve areas now."

"That means thowing away a lot of work," says Finn.

"It's lost already," says Marduk. "It is too late to worry about that." He turns to the others of his crew that were there. "Well... that did not go well..." he says.

"Ughh, I cant believe my unatentiveness.........I lost my focus..."

*I say as I pass in and out of cosiosnes*

"It was a very brave thing you did," says Marduk. "Were it not for you, I doubt if Coeus and Hephaestus would have made it."

"Thank you captain...Is everyone alright?"

"A lot of people aren't well, but everyone will live. We shall have to return to Zion."

"Somehw....I dont think *cough* URGH!......I dont think they will be happy with our progress...."

"The failure was not ours," says Marduk. "Interesting..."

"There were others......a blonde woman......"

"Yes, we saw," says Marduk. "I have a bad feeling about them."

"Were they sent by Zion? I dont think I know them."

"Why would Zion have sent them?" he asks.

"Good question.....So they arent ours, I didnt see what the did? Were they friendly? Were they after the same thing as us?"

"I think we can most definitely conclude they were after the same thing," says Marduk, as Finn relays the Captain's orders to the rest of the crew of the Percy in the background.
