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

"And if we're not able to hold off this attack, then there'll be no chance of him getting out. If we get through this, we can rescue them. Moping and complaining isn't going to help much with that though!" San snaps back. "Now let's go. You want to get Klez and the rest out, then let's start by making sure WE survive this. That goes for everyone else, too."

So...how many guns do the ships have, anyway?

Under heavy fire from the Agents, those on the Islans run like hell down the stairs. The Hunter stays behind, covering you. More bullets hit him; he ignores them.

Down the bottom of the stairs is another door; it is very dark down there so you cannot see it. It feels light and modern, though.

"You know it can't be done," says Finn. Marduk nods.

"Just a hundred would be too many," he says. "He's just doing what he always does."

Dallas gathers up his hat. "Put on a good show for this one, I think."

"Dallas..." says Sequel.

Klez opens fire alongside the Hunter while the others move down the stairs.

"Move, down those stairs!" Klez shouts to the others, his pistols rattling off shots. He steps backwards, down the stairs. "Hunter, let's go!"

Feeling that it is his turn, Melkor will check if the second door have handle to open.

"Sirin, Klez come quickly!"

Heph will fling the second door open and continue on through.

Melkor and Heph both scrabble in the darkness for the handle. It's modern metal and the door opens easily, before all of you collapse through.

Mors pauses at the hatch to the gunnery, letting the others slip past him as he stops to see what Sequel is trying to tell Dallas.

"Listen," says Dallas. "What goes for me, goes for everyone on this ship, and everyone undr my command.2 Dallas is leading Sequel to the pilot's chair, and sits him firmly in it. "And I never leave one single person behind."

"Yeah, yeah. I get that Dallas, it's just..."

"Mors!" yells Dallas. "You're back-up pilot. Just in case."

Sirin gets to her feet after shoving herself through the second door with Heph and Melkor, then snaps her pistols up, checking her surroundings.

Melkor will allow Heph to go first, looking if others behind are okay, especially Sirin.

When the door closes behind you, all the sound, the firing, the cacophony, all stops, dead.

You are in a long white corridor. On the side walls are many identical green doors. There is also one at each end, one of which you just came in from.

Is Hunter with is?

Melkor looks around confused.

No, the Hunter is not.

"If you insist," Mors says, though he knows in truth that he's a terrible pilot. "Sequel, what's the trouble? We need to go!"

All the doors are identical and there is no diffrence between them?

"Where...where are we?" Heph asks, knowing that nobody with him knows.

Yes

Klez lowers his guns, having come through last.

"I don't know," Klez answers. He pulls out his cell phone and calls Finn.

No reception.

"Well, now we have no choice but to open another doors, right?" -Melkor gives a daring smile, not showing the extent of his anxiety.
