THE MATRIX

Chapter 14 Learning to Be Aware

This time, he's teaching me the difference of Realities. "The Matrix is a system, Neo." Morpheus Acknowledged. "That system is our enemy, but when you're inside, you look around what do you see? Businessman, Teachers, Lawyers, Carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save." He said. And I really observing around while following him. "But until we do, these people are a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are Not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system. That they will fight to protect it," he's still explaining things when I notice a Hot Sexy Female in a Red Dress. "Were you listening to me, Neo? Or are you looking at the woman in the red dress?" he questioned. "I was uhm," I want to tell him about that but he said, "well, look again." It was that person who wants to shoot me, I'm surprise so I covered myself. Forgot we are in the simulation Area. "Freeze it," he commanded. "Oh, this isn't the Matrix?" I ask. "No," He answered. "It's another Training Program designed to teach you one thing: If you are Not one of us, you are one of Them." "What are they?" I'm weirded out. "Sentient programs," He said. "They can move in and out of any software still hardwired to their system. That means that anyone, we haven't unplugged, is potentially an agent." That means, the Sentient is an Unnoticed Entity, and They are the Enemy. "Inside the Matrix, they are Everyone, and they are No One. We have survive by hiding from them, and running from them. But they are the gatekeepers." He continued. Wait, really? "They're guarding all the doors and holding all the keys, which means that sooner or later, someone is going to fight them." He stated. "Someone?" Who me? "I won't lie to you, Neo. Every single man or woman who has stood their ground, Everyone who has fought an agent, has died. But where they failed, you will succeed." He uttered. "Why?" I questioned. "I've seen an agent punch through concrete wall. Men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air. Yet their strength and their speed are still based in a world built on rules. Because of that, they will never be as strong or as fast as you can be." He stated. Does he mean I'm that powerful? "What? You mean, that I can dodge bullets?" He grinned in my answer, "No, Neo. I'm trying to tell you that when You're ready, you won't have to." And I noticed, he's very encouraging tho. Then someone called to Morpheus.

Surprise Ambush came, another Ship company. "Did Zion send the Warning?" Morpheus ask. "No, another Ship. Shit! Squiddies." Said Tank. "Squiddies?" I ask. "A sentinel. A killing machine designed for one thing." Trinity explained. "Search and destroy," Dozer added. "Set her down," Morpheus commanded. So they followed. "How are we doing, Tank?" He ask. They lower the lights, then Tank replied, "power off line. EMP armed and ready. "EMP?" I asked again. "ElectroMagnetic Pulse, disables any electrical system in the blast radius. It's the only weapon we have against the machines." Trinity mentioned. "Where are we?" I confounded. "Their old service and waste systems," she stated. "Oh, sewers," I said. "They used to be cities that spanned hundreds of miles. Now these sewers are all that's left of them." She told me.
