    "Welcome, pomni. As you no doubt have guessed, I am Morpheus." He spoke as pomni was looking at her hands, they weren't just red and blue gloves like in the digital world. One moment, she was staring at the digitized meal in front of her and the next the whole world fell, everyone fell and that was that. She was here but what about the others? Was ragtha safe? What about jax? Where are they now? She didn't have time to think about that as morpheus spoke "I imagine, right now, you must be feeling a bit like Alice, tumbling down the rabbit hole?" Pomni looked up at him, seeing her own reflection through the man's tinted sunglasses, she swallowed hatd then responded "I... Uhh- guess, you could S-Say that" she said as her voice cracked, she kept thinking about the people she met, hours ago. All falling in the void, she fell through the exit and ended up here in this room. Morpheuous can see her nervousness and reassures her as spoke again "I can see it in your eyes. You have the look of a woman, who accepts what she sees because she is expecting to wake up." A smile, razor-thin, curls the corner of his lips as he continues "Ironically, this is not far from the truth. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Can you tell me, pomni, why are you here?" He asked her.again, pomni swallowed again. She couldn't stop thinking about the others. She isn't able to... Caine, Jax, Ragatha, Gangle, kinger, zooble and bubble. Does she know who they really are outside of whatever reality they all came from? Morpheos cleared his throat, which grabbed pomni's attention, looking up she spoke "You're Morpheus, you're a legend. Most others would die to meet you." He smiled, he hasn't heard that in awhile, he spoke in reponse to the compliment "Yes. Thank you. But I think we both know there's more to it than that. Do you believe in fate, pomni?" He asked her, she responded with a quick "No." morphes sighed, looking away he asked "Why not?" This sparked something in pomni as she spoke again "Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my life." Morpheus turned to face her and responded "I know exactly what you mean." Again, that smile that could cut glass. He continued once more "Let me tell you why you are here. You are here because you have the gift." This caused pomni to raise a brow as she responded "Wh-What Gift?" She asked as Morpheus stayed silent, that silence was killing her. It's almost been a few minutes until he spoke again "I've watched you, pomni. You do not use the digital world like a tool. You use it like it was part of yourself. What you can do inside a computer is not normal. I know. I've seen it. What you do is magic." He was referring to the red exit door she manifested and was able to go through, pomni was skeptical as she responded "It's not magic." Morpheus leans forward and speaks "But it is, pomni. It is. How else would you describe what has been happening to you?" This has her thinking, she simply shakes her head as Morpheus continues "We are trained in this world to accept only what is rational and logical. Have you ever wondered why?" Pomni shakes her head again "As children, we do not separate the possible from the impossible which is why the younger a mind is the easier it is to free while a mind like yours can be very difficult." Pomni was confused as she asked "Free from what?" And so, morpheus answered "From the Matrix." Pomni looks at his eyes but only sees a reflection of herself. Morpheus then speaks once more"Do you want to know what it is, pomni?" She swallows and nods her head, morpheus continues "It's that feeling you have had all your life. That feeling that something was wrong with the world. You don't know what it is but it's there, like a splinter in your mind, driving you mad, driving you to me. But what is it?" The leather creaks as he leans back and continues once more "The Matrix is everywhere, it's all around us, here even in this room. You can see it out your window, or on your television. You feel it when you go to work, or go to church or pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth." Pomni, then responded back "what truth?" She asked as he answered "That you are a slave, pomni. That you, like everyone else, was born into bondage... kept inside a prison that you cannot smell, taste, or touch. A prison for your mind." Outside, the wind battered at a loose pane of glass. He continues "Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is. You have to see it for yourself." He said, Pomni wanted to know how. So, she asked "How?" Hoping this can help her see the truth, open her eyes to reality, she saw that his hands were closed as if hiding something. How she got here was beyond her. It took a minute for her to process what happen, looking to him again he spoke as he opned his hands.

      "This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed back in the digital world and believe whatever you want to." The pills in his open hands are reflected in the glasses as Morpheus continues speaking "You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." Pomni feels the smooth skin of the capsules, with the moisture growing in her palms. As he continued once more "Remember, all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more." Pomni, thinks for a moment. Does she really want to return to the digital circus? Thinking about it for a bit, she sighed as she mentally said 'fuck it' opening her mouth and swallows the red pill. The Cheshire smile returns as he stands up "Follow me." He leads pomni into the other room, which is crammed with high-tech equipment, glowing ash-blue and electric green from the racks of monitors. Trinity, Apoc and Cypher look up as they enter "Shit" trinity smiled "I knew he would" Cypher saddles up to Morpheus, talking in a hushed tone away from, pomni
      "Morpheus, I know what you believe, but I think this is a mistake. We're rushing her. She's old. I'm afraid she might pop." Morpheus knew what he met and responded "Haven't I always told you, Cypher, not to let fear control your life. Apoc, are we on-line?" Pomni recognizes the large man as kaufmo. He responded "Almost." Apoc and Trinity are working quickly, hardwiring a complex system of monitors, modules and drives. "Apoc? You wrote your name in the mirror when me, ragatha and jax saw your room." He responded "That's right." Morpheus interrupted "Pomni, time is always against us. Will you take a seat there?" In the center of the room sits a chair. Near the chair is an old oval dressing mirror that is cracked as he continued "I imagine you know something about virtual reality." pomni sits and Trinity begins gently fixing white electrode disks to her head, , and the back of her neck as she responds "A little." Morpheus looked at her and spoke again "Tell me about it." Pomni went total nerd mode while speaking "Essentially, it's a hardware system that uses an apparatus; headgear, gloves and whatever to make you feel that you are in a computer program." The man with the sunglasses responded "If the virtual reality apparatus, as you called it, was wired to all of your senses and controlled them completely, would you be able to tell the difference between the virtual world and the real world?" She responded immediately "You might not, no." He smiled "No, you wouldn't." Pomni then looks to trinity and whispers to her, quietly "You did all this?" Trin nods, placing a set of headphones over her ears. They are wired to an old hotel phone. Morphues says "The pill you took is part of a trace program. It's going to make things feel a bit strange." Distantly, through the ear phones, she hears Apoc pounding on a keyboard. Sweat beads his face. His eyes blink and twitch when he notices the mirror. Wide-eyed he stares as it begins to heal itself, a webwork of cracks that slowly run together as though the mirror were becoming liquid as she quickly says "Shit…" Cypher works with Apoc checking reams of phosphorescent data. Trinity monitors pomni's electric vital signs. pomni reaches out to touch the mirror and her fingers disappear beneath the rippling surface. Quickly, she tries to pull her fingers out but the mirror stretches in long rubbery strands like mirrored-taffy stuck to her fingertips
      "What is this? …Mescaline?" Morpheus reassured her "Just relax, pomni." The strands thin like rubber cement as she pulls away, until the fragile wisps of mirror thread break. With the twinkling of glass, shimmering snowflakes of electric-blinking mercury fall, hit the ground, and fade. She looks at her hand; fingers distended into mirrored icicles that begin to melt rapidly, dripping, running like wax down her fingers, spreading across her palms where she sees her face reflected "Uh-oh…" she simply said as something was wrong, trinity shouted "It's going into replication!" Morpheus looked at Apoc and said "Apoc?" He quickly responded "Still nothing." Morpheus takes out a cellular phone and dials a number then speaks into it "Miller, we're going to need the signal soon. Stay calm, pomni." The mirror gel seems to come to life, racing, crawling up her arms like hundreds of insects as she complained "It's cold." The mirror creeps up her neck as pomni begins to panic, tipping her head as though she were sinking into the mirror, trying to keep her mouth up. She again spoke "It's all over me." Morpheus is right next to her, with the phone as Trinity shouted "I got a fibrillation!" Cypher shook his head "I knew it, I knew it…" morpheus looked to apoc "Shit! Apoc?" Streams of mercury run from pomni's nose. Apoc responded "Targeting... almost there." An alarm , on Trinity's monitor erupts. Trin, shouts once more "She's going into arrest!" Cypher joins her and shouts afterwards "She's gonna pop!" Apoc smiles "Locked! I got her!!" Morpheus shouts into the phone "Now, miller now!" Her eyes tear with mirror, rolling up and closing as a high-pitched electric scream erupts in the headphones - It is a piercing shriek like a computer calling to another computer - pomni's body arches in agony and we are pulled like we were pulled into the holes of the phone Sucked into her scream and swallowed by darkness.
