THE MATRIX: Ghosts of Tomorrow

[Thomas Hobbes]

"It seems to me," says Augustine slowly, after conveying the above information, "That the least splashy way to do this is to get in the basement, then take the elevator straight up. Meanwhile, a second group heads towards the security hub to take out the cameras." He grins. "The splashiest way is to take a 'copter, fly it to the fifty-third-floor, and leap in the window, guns a' blazing."

"My apologies for having an idea," Ferret says, obviously put off.

Ferret listens to Augustine while he suggests ideas.

"Either way's good for me," he replies, "but I'm definitely a fan of the stealthy approach."

"Proposition: one more group to draw the attention away from the other two."

"I think that would strech us too thin- the idea is to not be seen at all until the last possible moment. Although," he continues, "Perhaps if we are spotted, part of the second group- the one that was, or is, heading towards the camera hub would break off and run intereference. Heck, if you can get to the security hub, you should be able to wreak merry hell anyway. Wait!" he snaps his fingers. "Nothing says 'distraction' like an explosion. Perhaps one in the basement, or simply plant them as we go along?"

As you talk, a yellow taxi pulls up to the sidewalk, unloading a man in a dark suit and darker shades. After a momentary scare, you relax--it's not an Agent: the man quickly removes his glasses, revealing a too soft face; you notice that his physique is far from perfect.

However, as he passes by you, headed towards the revolving glass doors, you can't help but get a feeling, like the sensation of the hairs standing rigid on the back of your neck.

The man seems oblivious to you.

Ferret opens his jacket momentarily, falshing his comrades a HK69 grenade launcher.

"I'm packed for explosions," he says with a wink.

Augustine's eyes are drawn to the man as he enters the building, and he turns in time to see Ferret closing his jacket again.

"Sorry, what was that?" he asks. "I think we should get going. How's this," he says, thinking quickly: "Spiral, Ferret, and Path will go for the secuirty hub, and lock down the building as well they can from there. Failing that, they'll provide a distraction. Veritas, Code and I will attempt to reach Agent White. We'll all go in by the sewers." His eyes focus again on what's in front of him. "Sound good to you?"

On hearing the edge in Ferret's voice, Veritas shrugs and makes a concilatory gesture.

"Hey, I said no offense and I meant no offense...just pointing out some of the weaker points to that plan..."

On hearing Augustine's suggestion, Veritas sighs resignedly.

"Well, then, if you're dead set on swimming in sh*t to get in there, I guess I'll go along...I still say it might have been easier to bluff our way in, though..."

He takes the knife out of his boot and slips it into an empty sheath on his wrist, just inside his sleeve.

"Well, then, if you're dead set on swimming in sh*t to get in there, I guess I'll go along...I still say it might have been easier to bluff our way in, though..."

Augustine smiles slightly, although it fights to break into a grin. "Just remember... there is no sh*t."

ooc: sorry, I couldn't resist.

Augustine smiles slightly, although it fights to break into a grin. "Just remember... there is no sh*t."

Spiral lets out an uncharacteristic chuckle and shakes his head in obvious amusement.

"Well, let's go for a walk in the virtual cesspool then. If we're lucky, we can convince ourselves that there is no smell either."

Still grinning at Augustine's joke, Spiral adjusts the knives underneath his jacket.

"I'm ready to go whenever you are. Let's get this over with."
