USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 THIRD ASSIGNMENT- 'The Fortress'

"Nonsense," Sirin says. "We're getting out of here. I'm not ready to give up that easily."

(Sirin's 18 and looks like Gisele Bündchen...)

Heph repeats his query, more urgently.

Well, you don't think he is going to whilst they are pointing guns at him.

Klez bites his lip, then looks away and lowers his guns.

"Can you help us?" he asks, putting his gaze back on the Hunter.

Sirin and Melkor are nearly there now.

Whilat everyone else is writhing on the ground, a weird silvery film-like substance merging over them.

"do/you/have/the/key"

"Yes," Heph says, simply.

"then/come/with/me."

When Sirin turns up, the Hunter points his weapon towards them bioth.

Heph, you are next to it. It's a needle gun.

"who/are/these/ones"

Mors begins to writhe as he feels the silvery substance sneak across his body, consuming him slowly.

"It's cold...!" he sputters, twitching constantly.

(Is this like the mirror in the first film?)

"They're with me," Heph says, eyeing the needle gun suspiciously. "They're friends."

Klez motions for Sirin to stand down before she does anything rash.

"That/is/ir/rel/e/vant"

He pauses

"They/may/come"

He lowers the voicebox and pulls out a gun and starts to walk away over the rise.

Whilst behind you, everyone not on the Philosophy path dwindles away, and vanishes.

Sirin comes to a halt when she comes face-to-face with the Hunter and prepares to raise her guns, but resists when she notices the motions from Klez.

"What the...?"

She follows the Hunter as Heph and Klez do.

"Where...where'd the others go?" she asks, turning about frantically. "Captain Dallas? Mors?"

"I..." Heph looks around, but has no answers. He staggers to his feet and follows the Hunter over the rise.

Over the rise, is a large off-road vehicle.

Crewing it are three men, shaven headed, and wearing bright orange robes.

"Monks?" Heph says, looking to the Hunter.

The Hunter just walks silently over to the vehicle and climbs aboard.

Berserker keeps his eyes on Dallas wondering what is going on.

Dallas is gone.

Dallas disappeared with the others. What you saw consuming him was the silvery substance...

Heph is wary, but boards the vehicle as well.

Okay...disappeared to where, exactly?
