The Forumatrix Act #3

September 2, 2010 in The Forumatrix

Image

The_Vole is joined in an interrogation room by the agents that captured him.

Image

"As you can see, we’ve had our eye on you for some time now, Mr. Anderson"

"But I’m not Mr. Anderson" The_Vole replies.

Image

"You can do better than that Mr. Anderson. We know all about your double life.

In one life, you’re Thomas A. Anderson, program writer for a respectable software company"

Image

"In the other, you go by your hacker alias ‘Neo’ and you are guilty of virtually every computer crime we have a law for.

One of these lives has a future. The other, does not"

Image

"I’m going to be as forthcoming as I can, Mr. Anderson.

We know that you’ve been contacted by a certain individual, a man who calls himself Morpheus.

He is considered by many authorities to be the most dangerous man alive"

Image

"We’re willing to wipe the slate clean, give you a fresh start, and all that we’re asking in return is your co-operation in bringing a known terrorist to…

Am I boring you, Mr. Anderson?"

Image

The_Vole is woken up hours later by the ringing of the phone in his apartment.

Image

Image

Slowly he lifts the reciever and puts it to his ear.

Image

"With The_Vole"

"This line is tapped, so I must be brief" begins the same voice that guided him through the office.

"You are The One, Neo. You see, you may have spent the last few years of your life looking for me, but I’ve spent my entire life looking for you. Now do you still want to meet?"

Image

"That sounds more like it!"

The_Vole really wishes he brought an umbrella with him.

Image

A black car pulls up beside him and the door opens.

Image

"Get in" comes a voice from inside.

"That’ll be 50 euros up front…" begins The_Vole.
