USH'S MATRIX GAME FIFTH ASSIGNMENT (COMBAT PATH)- 'Payback'

"Jericho is my Captain," says Tyr. "I trust him more than I trust you, and I believe him as well. He's taken us to safety. He doesn't have to threaten me for me to follow him."

He picks up his H&K from the floor nearby.

"And I respect that," Ares replies, watching warily as Tyr grabs the gun. "What are you going to do with that?"

"The sentinels will probably kill you," says Tyr, "but a professional always makes sure."

He unloads the empty clip from the gun.

Burn, your phone rings.

(this is extraordinarily generous of me, btw. You keep forgetting to call for help!)

"A professional what, Tyr? A professional murderer?" Ares tries to push himself into a sitting position. "If Jericho hadn't planted that spammer and Melitus hadn't abducted our friends, we wouldn't be doing this..."

"We're soliders. We're all killers, we've all killed and you are my enemy. Believe me, to me you are no more than a dangerous coppertop."

He pulls out a fresh clip.

"If you hadn't come after us, this would never have happened. Not that it makes any difference. Like I say, you're all dead already."

"If the Sentinels are going to kill us, let me go? It's not like I can do anything to you, I'm dead already."

"Like I say," says Tyr, "a professional makes sure. What's your name, solider?"

"Ares of the Shehazarad. And I already know who you are, our crew did a little research on your's, as ordered by the Zion Council."

"Mind if I make one last call?"

"Yes I do," says Tyr. He loads the gun. "Ares, eh? That gives us something in common. Both Gods of War, you see. But your war is lost."

"Hehe, so we do. Another thing we might have in common is that we both do not want to die..."

(I'm down, so no Natural Ordering this time, huh?)

You're down and out- no ANYTHING allowed, Ares.

"No-one wants to die," says Tyr, "but your fate is already sealed. It's be swell if we could save Zion... but we can't. It's doomed and you will all die. Humanity is only going to live on through us. So you see... when you side against us, your life cannot really compare against that, can it?"

He cocks the gun.

Ares props himself up against some machinery. "Zion is not doomed. Jericho failed to factor the prophecy of the One into his strategy-based thoughts. Neo will save Zion."

"You can cling to your fantasy world," says Tyr. "I deal in facts."

"It is fact, Tyr. You just never got to see it."

"Wrong," says Tyr. "I WILL get to see it, whichever way it goes. You're the one who will never see."

He raises the gun to your head.

At this point, Ares gulps and waits for SOMEONE to show up...

Ares, STALL,
Play along.
Say you agree with him!
ANYTHING!!! Remember what I did with Jerico? DO that, Keep him from shooting you!

CRAP! My phone! Dammit, completly slipped my mind.
"What plan do you have for me now? I need help fast"

"So...what's it like living in the Matrix? Jericho just supply you with tons of things every once and awhile? Bet you could make yourself a millionaire with the programmed money..."

It's Finn.

"San dropped four armed men inside," he says. "You should turn around, so you should. I'll guide you in. Let the silly bastard take another shot; he's in worse shape than you."
