The Matrix RPG

[Deac]

[um...I didn't know Lance or Raven were on my ship, being the sam one as Nolan]

 

*Oxford appears, dressed in the usual cool garb.*

 

Oxford: Tell me, Nolan, what is "real"? Is it what you see and feel, or is it something else, a place of atomic structures? Are they even "real"?

[jokemaster]

Nolan: A day ago I would have said yes. Now i'm not so sure

[whitedragon]

John sat watching the screen seeing oxford talk to noland. he still rememberd when he first heard the speach about how he had been liveing in a dream world for 16 years. but that was 9 years ago. and every time he wakes up he wonders if the red pill was the right choice. "ide rather be a rebbel than a slave." john thought. Q-ball tapped john on the sholder. "hey WD theres a message here for you from striker." "striker? as in my old mentor striker?" "one in the same." "i havent seen him in years." "he wants you to meet him in the matrix. ill send you to the place." john sat back in the chair and closed his eyes as the plug went into the back of his head.

[Darth NeoVenom]

As the crew of the Scout 1 reached the main deck of the ship, Arcon speaks out to his group. "We recieved a message from a person that goes by the name of Valence. He said he has very crucial information regarding information about the Matrix. We have two choices, we can either jack three of you into the Matrix to meet Valence and see what information he holds for us, or we can contact another ship to see if they know who this "Valence" is. Either way, we have to meet him. Not everyone knows how to contact ships outside the Matrix."

 

Arcon then turns to Radar. "Radar, are there any ships that are close enough for us to send a transmission to?" Radar then starts to head towards the main computer and says, "I'll try my best to see if I can contact any ships." Radar then starts to send out a transmision. "I fixed up the transmission so that only ships can pick them up. We don't want any Sentinels trancing us." Radar then gives out a nervous laugh.

[Flamehart]

(Meh, ignore my post then, I'll say I'm in my own ship, and I'll get proper names for my crew in a min. Masterjo didn't ever specify which ship, crew, yadda yadda he was on so I'm making my crew now, sorry for the misunderstanding, I'll edit my other posts accordingly.)

Aryll finished working on Raven and Lance. Lance was soon able to move without problem, and Aryll grinned. "Have a good rest?" Lance replied, "If you find an anvil landing on your head comforting, why not?" Kevin came over and introduced the crew. "I am Avalanche. This is Alpha," he said, nodding toward Aryll, "Will, second in command here," he said, pointing at William, who had just entered the room, "Link, our operator." He indicated Dean over in his chair near the computer. "And Strider. He came in a few weeks before you." Lance nodded in greeting to all of them. Avalanche then spoke to Will and Link. "Plug them in." Link came over and plugged Lance in, Will plugged Raven in.

 

They both suddenly appeared in a white room as well, not the same as Nolan and them, but still a white void. Soon after, Avalange appeared in the usual outfit he wore. (similar to Morpheus in Matrix (not Reloaded))

 

Lance looked around, "Is this...real?"

Avalanche responded, "What is your definition of real? Something you can see or touch? Or something else? What really is real?"

 

Raven looked just as confused as Lance.

 

Avalanche then sat down on a chair that had suddenly appeared in the void. Lance and Raven took their seats on two others that had just appeared, and Avalanche began to explain the Matrix, and everything else (See Movie for further info ).

[Deac]

Oxford: Do you remember what you saw?

 

That is the matrix. Your life, until the moment you awoke in the pod, was all done inside a computer program like this one.

There was a war. We created machines that grew more and more intelligent. They deemed us unnessicessary. We tried to stop them by blocking the sun and rendering their solar cells useless, but they found a better power source...

 

Us. The matrix was designed to contain our minds whilst our bodies provided enough heat and bioelectric energy to power them.

 

The chair you sat in was real. The plug that went into your head was real. See my hand? This hand is not real.

[Darth NeoVenom]

Radar turns to Arcon and says, "Captain, it seems like there are no ships close enough to recieve the transmission." Arcon replies, "Give it a try one more time. If no one picks up the transmission, then I'll ask NeoVenom, Shadow, and Saphire if they can meet up with this Valence. I'm afraid we are almost running out of time."

 

Radar, once again, sends out a transmission.

[Mandalorian54]

Scorpion sends out a transmission to Falcon's ship requesting that they meet back at Zion. But Falcon's reply is a hash reality to face. While negotiating with the the agents when Falcon almost betrayed his race, Falcon had come across some interesting information. Falcon had scrambled up some data in a disc in the matrix and stored it somewhere safe, in case somthing happened.

 

That's what was so scary about Falcon's reply, somthing had happened. Falcon was under attack by sentinels. In his reply he was currently being pursued and his transmission was cut short when he executed the EMP, Scorpion could only pray his old captain would be safe.

 

Scorpion's next task would be finding the disc, unfortunatly Falcon hadn't given much information...

 

(When is this story taking place? Before the first movie? Or mabe after the first but before the second? I'dd like it to be just before the second but for those who haven't seen it, it could mean spoilers and confusion. So mabee just after the first? Who's for just after the first movie?)

[Darth NeoVenom]

(I'm up for that, it should be before the second one....since I haven't seen Matrix Reload . I had to stop playing Enter the Matrix since it was like showing part of Matrix Reload.)

 

Radar faces Arcon and says, "No good. Probably Sentinels are ruining the transmission." Arcon nods, "Okay. That means this leaves us with no choice but to meet up with this Valence." Arcon then turns to the rest of the crew. "Shadow, NeoVenom, Saphire?" They then look towards Arcon, "Can you three jack into the Matrix and meet Valence. We have to know what information he holds for us." Shadow replies,"Sure no problem." NeoVenom says,"Yeah I'll go." Saphire says shortly after NeoVenom spoke, "Ok." Shadow then motions towards NeoVenom and Saphire to follow him towards the seats.

[jokemaster]

((I think it's better between them, probably closer to the first one than the second one))

-------

Nolan: So, what's this place?

[Darth NeoVenom]

Shadow, NeoVenom, and Saphire each sat down in their chairs and prepared themselves to be jack into the Matrix. They calming waiting. Moments later, each of them found themselves in a basement of a building. Everything surrounding them was very dimly lit by two small windows that are adjacent to the sidewalk. The phone starts to ring on a small table in the corner of the basement. Shadow walks up to it and picks up the reciever. He then speaks into it,"We're in."

[Deac]

Oxford: This is a training program. I here we train to free minds from the matrix. We can make you proficient in weapons, create weapons, vehicles or clothing as we need them. Observe:

 

*Oxford draws out a cellphone*

 

Q-Ball, give Nolan combat program 101...

 

*The room shifts into the sparring room*

[Flamehart]

The white void switched to a rooftop area. Avalanche then spoke to Raven and Lance, "The only thing you need to do, is to believe. Clear your mind. Think of nothing else but the objective." Avalanche then ran to the edge of the building and leaped off and landed 25 meters away on the other rooftop. Raven and Lance exchanged looks, then both ran and leaped, but both ending up falling and landing facefirst in the concrete. Avalanche ordered that Link take them out of the training program, and they were unplugged. Raven and Lance awoke, and Raven put her finger under her lip, and removed it to see blood. "I thought the Matrix wasn't real?"

 

Avalanche, again, spoke, "Only because your mind believes it to be real."

 

Lance then replied, "So...if we die in the Matrix, we die here?"

Avalanche answered, "The mind cannot live without the body. Therefor, yes, you will die."

[jokemaster]

Nolan*seeing room change*: WHAT THE? no warning?

[Darth NeoVenom]

NeoVenom approaches one of the small windows in the baseball and takes off his shades. He lets out a short sign while he is looking out towards the street. "I still can't believe none of this is real. Yet it seems so real." NeoVenom then put his shades back on.

 

Shadow speaks to NeoVenom and Saphire, "Ok let's head outdoors." Shadow, NeoVenom, and Saphire head towards the doorway of the basement.

[Mandalorian54]

I'm up for that, it should be before the second one....since I haven't seen Matrix Reload . I had to stop playing Enter the Matrix since it was like showing part of Matrix Reload.)

 

(I got half way through the game, and I didn't see any footage from the film, are you thinking that the movie footage you saw is from the movie, cuz it isn't. The footage you see has the actors form the movie but the scenes are not in the movie, they are made specially for the game. Mabee after half way there is footage from the movie, I don't know, but I wonder if your thinking that the footage for the game is from the movie. So is it safe to say then that this takes place shortly after the first movie, but will have no coincidence with the second movie?)

 

--------------------------------------

 

Scorpion, and Ghost jacked into the matrix, they stood in the white loading program and suited up some guns. Then the matrix loaded and the two people found themselves in a small room with a phone on a table in front of them.

 

The phone began to ring and Scorpion answered it, "We're in."

 

Shell responds from the other end, "Your on the third floor of an apartment. Turn left when you open the door into the hall and take the elevator at the end of the hallway. When you're outside go three blocks south to Carter St., turn left and head another block, you'll find a whearhouse, the disk should be in there somewhere."

 

"Okay thanks," Scorpion hangs up the phone. "Let's go."

 

Ghost holds him back with a hand on his shoulder. "No, wait," A woried look spreads across her face.

 

Scorpion whippes out his cell phone and calls up Shell, "Tell me what's happening."

 

"Oh Shi-, theres a police force waiting outside. I don't know how but they knew you were coming."

 

"Ghost?" Scorpion looks back at her.

 

"This drop site has been targeted. Someone else has used it before and the agents' know about it." Suddenly she puts her hand on her mouth and gasps. "This is where Smith was destroyed..."

 

"How do you-?"

 

"We have to find another way out," Ghost looks around the room, there are no windows and only one door. "Looks like we'll have to find another way out, should we just jack out?"

 

Shell reads Ghost's question on the computer screens and answeres to Scorpion though his cell phone, "I can't jack you out, the lines been cut, it was a trap. I'll send indent in but he wont be able to make it too you for a while, you'll have to do some fighting, just pray there's no agents."

 

-------------------------------------------------------

 

(Can you people hurry up and go see Reloaded so I can write about all the cool stuff without spoiling it! It's so fustrating how I can't write about certain aspects that are essential to a full understanding about the matrix.)

[Darth NeoVenom]

(Well the second CD of Enter the Matrix contains majority of the scenes from the movie...my brother said since he did saw the movie. I'm going to see Matrix Reload tomorrow or Monday.)

 

Shadow, NeoVenom, and Saphire exit the building. Shadow then reaches into his trench coat pocket and takes out his cell. He calls Radar. Radar responds, "Operator..." Shadow then replies, "We're out. All we need now is the directions to where Valence is going to be at." Radar responds, "Ok. Head three blocks North on Broadway." "Ok." Shadow says. Shadow then looks at NeoVenom and Saphire, "Come on. Let's go." He then wonders and says, "I wonder what all the sirens are for. It doesn't sound good."

[Mandalorian54]

Scorpion withdrew a pistol, the only weapon he was carying, he leaned against the wall facing the door. Ghost stood a few feet in front of the door facing it directly, a pistol in each hand. Scorpion extended a hand to the doornob and creaked the door open a crack. He peered out into the hall and saw a few shadows shuffle in the hall.

 

Scorpion glanced at Ghost and winked, a second later he whipped open the door. Ghost let go a few shots, two swat soldiers slumped to the ground. Scorpion burst into the hall firing at sevral swat to the left of the room. Pressing himself up against the wall he fired to the right of the room at swat down the hall. They returned fire but he quickly ducked down and rolled to the other wall. Ghost emerged and shot down the last couple swat who's attention was focused on Scorpion.

 

The hall was quiet now, swat bodies lay in a stream of blood; it was too quiet. Ghost's eyes widened and she pulled Scorpion into another room. A second later an agent rounded the corner, pausing to examine the bodies.

 

The agent stepped over the bodies and made his way to the room with the phone, it was empty. He looked both ways down the hallway and headed to the elevator. Pressing his earpiece he said, "They're not here." After he heard the reply he entred the elevator and headed down to the bottom floor.

 

Ghost opened the door a crack and then yanked it open all the way when there was no one in the hall. "He's gone."

 

"Who?" Scorpion asked.

 

"An agent, I sensed him."

 

"You've been acting strange lately."

 

"Let's go."

 

The two of them ignored the elevator and headed for the stairs, Scorpion poped open his cell phone, "Where's Indent?"

 

The operator answered, "He's a block away, but theres cops surrounding the building, I don't know what to do. And theres two agents. Be careful."

[Deac]

Oxford: The Matrix can change without warning. You must be ready.

 

Fight me.

[jokemaster]

((oh !@#$, sorry Deac, but i'm going on a trip. Can you control my char while I'm gone? i may be able to acsess a computer from where i'm going, but id appreciate it if you did. Same rules, no killing or maiming))

*Nolan, known as jokemaster from here on, puts up his hands, ready to fight*

[Mandalorian54]

Scorpion was halfway between the first and second floor when swat burst through the first floor stairwell entrance. Firing as he reclined up the stairs he took down two swat. Bullets ringed off the walls after Scorpion until he had gone too far up to be seen.

 

The swat gogged up the stairs after him, gun's pointed upwards. As they neared the top of the flight of stairs Scorpion dropped down behind them from above. He shot the three swat closest to the top and jumped into a kick at the closest to him, hitting the man hard in the chest and sending him into another man. Then Scorpion spun around in a roundhouse kick breaking another man's neck.

 

The last standing swat shot at Scorpion who jumped off the wall and spin kicked the man sending him spinning through the air. Scorpion fired three shot's before landing, killing the three swat who lay beaten on the floor. Scorpion stood triumphantly over the bodies of the late swat soldiers.

 

Ghost slid down the banaster and into his arms, "Let's hurry."

[Darth NeoVenom]

As Shadow, NeoVenom, and Saphire reached the third block, Shadow wipes out his cell phone and calls Radar. "Operator..." Radar says. "Where to now?" Shadow replies. Radar then looks at the computer screen and says, "Ok, turn left toward a red building. The building number is 347. Once inside, takethe stairs to the rooftop. Valence shouldbe there." After Radar finished speaking, Shadow said to him, "Got it." Shadow then motions to NeoVenom and Saphire tofollow him.

[Mandalorian54]

The two black suited humans exited the stairwell, a few police were roaming the halls; they were quickly dropped. At the end of the hall was the front exit, from there Scorpion scanned the street ahead, it was packed with swat vans and cop cars. Scorpion raised his cell phone to his ear after dialing the number.

 

"Operator..." came the usual reply.

 

"Where's Indent?"

 

"On the other side of the street waiting for an oportunity."

 

"Tell him to shoot first, they've got their backs to him. Then we'll burst out and hope we get lucky. Where's the agents?"

 

"Don't know, there not on the scene anymore."

 

Ghost interupted the conversation with a question. "Why not take the back door?"

 

Scorpion replyed, "It's probably packed with swat. Shell, what exactly is waiting at the back?"

 

"More than you can handle, alot of swat." Scorpion was about to ask another question when he was cut off. "Hold on, mabee a blazing glory isn't the best idea right now. They've got snipers."

 

Scorpion passed the word to Ghost with dissapointment. Then asked, "What are we going to do?"

 

"You could try the r-," Shell began but stopped short,"On second thought, there's a couple choppers landing on the roof. It looks like all our options are blocked. I don't know what to do."

 

"Ask Indent to take out some snipers, you can direct him to their locations. But right now I think what we really need is some help. Try another ship, send a transmission and hope somone will pick up."

 

------------------------------------

 

(Tag.....anyone.)

[Darth NeoVenom]

Shadow, NeoVenom, and Saphire make it to building 347. They then head up the stairs and come across a doorway which seems to lead towards the roof. Shadow opens it carefully. As the door opens, they see a man wearing an all white suit and a pair of black shades. "Welcome, my name is Valence. Are you the ones who came to meet me?" Shadow replies, "Yes, we are the ones." Shadow, NeoVenom, and Saphire walk slowly towards Valence. Valence then says, "The information that I was speaking about in the transmission I sent to your ship is on this disk." Valence then pulls out a small disk. "The only way you can get the information out of this disk is if you transfer it. Be aware, transfer the information quickly. You don't want to be traced." He then hands the disk to Shadow. Shadow takes the disk and says, "How are we sure we can trust you?" Valence smiles and says, "Tell Arcon that Thomas Phillips said hi. I must leave now. Please take care of that disk." With that said, Valence sprints towards the left and jumps to a rooftop 30 feet away from the rooftop where Shadow, NeoVenom, and Saphire is on.

 

-----------------------

 

Radar was looking at all the screens and notices that a transmission is being sent. "Captain." Radar says catching Arcon's attention. "It seems like a transmission is being sent from another ship. Should I accept it?" Arcon nods showing to accept the transmission. Radar then types away at some keys and pressing enter, accepting the transmission.

[Flamehart]

Later, Lance is found sparring with Avalanche, and Raven with Aryll.

 

The whole crew comes to watch the fight. The objective is Raven and Lance must work together against Avalanche and Aryll.

 

Lance ducks under a kick by Avalanche and spin kicks, Avalanche leaps over it and kicks at Lance. Lance grabs the foot and throws him into the dojo wall.

 

Raven blocks 3 quick blows, then spinkicks Aryll. Aryll ducks under it and grabs Raven's leg. Raven is then thrown at a pole. Raven runs up the pole as she is thrown at it, leaps off and spinkicks Aryll. Aryll dodges and Raven's foot is stuck in the dojo floor.

 

Lance gets up and fights Ayrll while Raven removes her foot, then Raven stands up and begins fighting Avalanche, then, Lance and Raven grab each other's arm, and perform a kick that makes them land with their original opponent after letting go of each other in mid-air. Lance is then sent flying into a pole by Avalanche.

 

"You are faster than this. Don't think." Said Avalanche.

 

Lance got back up and started fighting faster than he could ever believe himeslf to do. He dodged 3 blows and struck again. Avalanche blocked all of them. "Stop trying to hit me and hit me!" Suddenly they were booted out of the program. Dean looked at the 4 who had just come back.

 

(they also received the transmission and are sending help as well)

"We are getting a transmission asking for help. Should we give it?"

 

Avalanche nodded.

"Once we're in the Matrix, download Sniper usage software for Lance, he and Aryll will cover us and take out nearby snipers. Me, Will, and Raven will go down and help the ones requesting help. Ready?"

 

The group moved to the chair-things.

 

They were plugged in and appeared in a white void again and gun racks appeared. Avalanche tossed a M21 sniper rifle to Lance and a Barett to Aryll. (Anyone who's played black hawk down [the game] are probably familiar with these)

 

Instantly, Lance felt the knowledge of how to properly use the Sniper rifle fill his head. Then, scene change.

 

Craig found himself atop a roof. Aryll contacted him via cell phone from another rooftop. "Take out the snipers, I'll help." Lance nodded and took aim. He waited for Avalanche to give the go-ahead.

 

Avalanche, Will, and Raven appeared on the ground, near Scorpion and Ghost's location. Avalanche whipped out his cell phone and dialed Scorpion's number, being a once old friend of Scorpion. "Hey, we're here to help. Those snipers are about to be taken out, so get ready to hear some guns." He hung up and called Lance and Aryll. "Fire."

 

Lance took aim and fired, killing a sniper. Seconds later, a sniper a few rooftops away was shot down by Aryll. He heard another gunshot, and another, the snipers being killed quickly by Aryll's expert skill. The swat below were looking around frantically for where the gunshots were coming from. Lance called Dean. "Hey... uhh.. some help if you would?"

 

Dean laughed. He kept Lance on the cell phone and pointed out the locations of the other snipers. Lance fired. One down. Lance turned and fired again. Two. Three. Within seconds, all the snipers were gone. Lance took out a Mp5 that he had packed and slid down a ladder. Aryll said she would continue the sniper support, and Lance moved to join up with Avalanche, Will, and Raven.
