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

"I'ld rather just use my most dangorous weapon, if that's alright with you Celsius. I'm not too good with guns." Cloud admits, "I wonder what's taking them so long."

"Perfectly alright, I knoww you can handle yourseld without the need for guns."

*I look at my watch again. And then dial The Shez*

"let's just hope this doesn't affect our mission. How long till full power? we need to broadcast.." says Rade

Ares, there is no answer.

"Operator... can you hold for a moment?" says Ariadne as you call, Celsius.

"Is everyone ok?" calls back Ariadne. "We're stable at the broadcast point and should be able to go ahead, though we aren't going anywhere for a while!"

"I can hold."
*I look at Cloud and Virus.*
"Somethings wrong."

Cloud looks worried, "Are they all alright?"

"Let's get this thing going, I would like to be back in the real world should any sentinel appear"

Okidokey, Shez crew, you guys head to the cahirs to be hooked in.

Someone is missing.

"****"

Who?

Hint- there is a ten-gallon hat-shaped gap where you might expect a person to be at this point.

Hmm DALAS?

Yup... you may want to check where he was when the ship turned sideways...

"Guys go on this mission without me, I'm off to find Dallas"
*runs across the entire ship to track down dallas. Starting at his last known location*

He was yelling instructions to Ariadne on the walkway

*goes to check on and under the walkway*

Dallas is lying lumped on the deck below- where he was hurled down to when he was on the balcony as the ship twisted. There is a pool of blood under him.

It is a head wound.

darn I check to see wether or not he is still alive

(as a vet I assume I have some first aid knowledge)

Yup

"What's going on, Fire?" calls out Ariadne as you head down.

Yells: "It's Dallas he took a serious fall and has a serious head wound, But don't think about that now, GET THE OTHERS JACKED IN!"

"STAY FOCUSSED PPL AND THINK OF THE MISSION AT HAND! Mors has command as you all know. We will decide who is second in command when you get back. NO argument NOW GO"

"I can't jack them in without orders from the c/o!" says Ariadne, climbing through to see what you are climbing down to. "Oh Jesus..." she says, heading down after you.

Fire, you reach Dallas. Lightning fast, his hand shoots out and takes a hold of your left shoulder.

"YOU!" he yells. "AND you!" he says, pointing at the empty space two feet to your left. "Get me my damn hat!"
