USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 FOURTH ASSIGNMENT (PHILOSOPHY)- 'The Door'

Azrael would probably have opened the door.

He smiles at Melkor's comment,
"If you've got enemies, the cause for conflict has probably already occurred, whether you know it or not." He walks a step behind the Stranger, and then asks, "What do you intend to do?"

"Oracle... no. A term for one who can make predictions about the future? A potentiality I am aware of."

He puts his hand on the far door handle.

"Really so why are you here in this part of the Matrix"? Berserker asks.

He doesn't answer. He just opens the door.

Silence.

"Do you think we will survive this situation? We humans are fragile sometimes." -Melkor cleans his throat.

Berserker watches as the man opens the door remaining silent.

He walks up the stairs.

"Well," Azraels says, to no-one in particular, "Guess we're going up."

He follows.

Melkor follows, both uncertain and excited. He doesn`t want to be in front this time.

"Sirin, Klez, are you going?"

"Guess so," Berserker says to Azreal.

Berserker then begins to walk up the stairs.

There is s soft firing sound.

The tramp-like figure is standing at the top of the stairs.

He is looking curiously at a needle embedded just under his right shoulder.

The Hunter?

Azrael approaches the Stranger from behind.
"It seems you do have enemies."

Berserker immediately looks for where the needle came from.

The man you have dubbed the Stranger plucks the needle out of his body, and flicks it back towards the Hunter; it embeds into him.

Then, suddenly, the Stranger's hand is on the Hunter's gun-arm, and twists it around violently. You can hear the loud crack of the bone breaking, and the Hunter is thrown to the floor.

"Well that didn't go to well for him," Berserker says A little concerned with how easy the Stranger put the Hunter on the floor.

"Actually, if it wasn`t for him we wouldn`t be able to free you." -Melkor doesn`t want Hunter to be pernamently harmed.

He ignores you. He is looking across the lake, at the 12 Agents.

Each of them is tightening their ties, straightening glasses, adjusting cufflinks... and so forth.

Berserker is looking at the guy then to the Hunter on ground.

What is the Hunter doing Ush?

"Could that really be fear?"

The Stranger turns his head towards the Hunter on the ground.

"Why would anyone create such a thing?"

With his other hand the Hunter raises the synthisiser to his throat

"you/could/not/und/er/stand"

The Agents raise their guns and open fire.
