Day 10 // Debriefing
Who: Trinity ([info]deathcatalyst) and OTA
When: Day 10,Morning
Where: Computer Room
Why: Trinity is looking for information and what better way to do it then to talk to some commoners?
Rating: TBD
Status: COMPLETE


Trinity hadn't slept much, seriously how could she? Her mind was rolling and tumbling through various hypothesis and reasons as to how she found this place. After several hours of literally tossing and turning in bed she finally gave up, got dressed and made her way through the halls. She had become cold and lonely through the whole mess, she had never felt so alone. She was completely in her Matrix form and she was tempted to jump off a building but the rain outside didn't allow any experimentation. It would have been easier to do something else; like bending a spoon for example, for any validity of being in the Matrix but she figured it wouldn't be the same.

After walking through various halls and such, Trinity found to her delight a computer room. Surely, if there was anything she could pry up and gain some information was the Internet. A few codes here, some hacking skills there and she would surely find the source of the signal and see if she was truly in the Matrix or not.

The room was big enough to hold several couches and computers about. The room was dimly lit and it seemed no one hardly used the place or simply it didn't catch anyone's attention.She walked in quietly letting door close as she took a comfortable seat on on of the couches and took up a laptop. At once, she reached into her coat for her cellphone and connected it onto a jack -- she was the one who hacked into the pentagon as an amateur after all...

She didn't exactly worry about people coming in, she was actually expecting it. Surely, the best way to learn about this place was to get information from the people that have all ready been here for a while. It was all just a matter of time before she debriefed someone.

Trinity paid close attention to this small information from Kadaj's world. A life stream? That sounded rather strange. She was impressed that he caught a few glitches all ready but what she realized he didn't know was that the coding was his. She brought the coding up and divided it into the two segments.

"This is actually you're coding. This portion here," she pointed lazily at the portion that was glowing orange, "is correct. All of this is human but this." She pointed at the pieces of red here an there. "It's incorrect. It's as if... I don't know, you were being enhanced mechanically by something." Her lips went stiff once more as she tried to decode the errors for his curiosity.

"Where I come from, every time we see that coding, we know it's a machine, a program if you will." She didn"t have to tell him that it also meant he was threat.

Kadaj nodded. "Hnnn." He wondered what Sephiroth's coding would look like if his own had that amount of red in it. "It isn't incorrect, Trinity. I'm not 99.9 percent like humans because I have alien genes in my make-up," he explained. There was no reason to not be truthful; lieing wouldn't gain any advantage here.

"So in my case it's not a machine, whatever that means to you exactly. The only programming I have comes from my genetic structure, which is a mutation of human and cells from a creature that came to my planet thousands of years ago."

Of all the things Trinity was expecting as a reply, this was definitely, not one of them. She actually forgot about the computer and looked up at him. Alien's? How intriguing indeed. Even through out the years that her world had under its belt, the problems with the machines had never given the human race time to think of anything other than protecting themselves and saving other lives.

She looked at the coding once more and wished Morpheus was here. Oh the answers he could reach that even she as his second in command, could never muster.

She was trying to think of the coding as a DNA. She knew it would be impossible to pin point the information here with what she got without taking a specimen of her own from him, but she felt assured that the man was saying the truth. She gave him a weak smile.

"That's a surprise. I'm curious as to why the Matrix is picking it up. Despite your say that this place isn't the Matrix, I'm confused as to why everything is showing me its coding. For example. That sword of yours, it's here. In the room above us, there is a girl sleeping. I can even pin point the exact location of the tropical storm yet --" Now it was bugging her. She needed her own proof. If she was being shown as code then she was still hacked in despite the fact everything felt so real. She didn't want to begin explaining what she meant about coding and no coding but she felt it was necessary for him to understand -- she wanted someone to understand.

"Tell me." She said slowly as she un-jacked the laptop from the things about her closing it and putting it under her arm. She would need it for this. "Have you ever dodged a bullet?"

Yes, Kadaj noted he had surprised her with that bit of information. Which confirmed that apparently there would be nothing like himself in her world, as well as her previous comment about humans being almost exactly alike.

"I'm curious that your Matrix is picking anything up here but maybe I shouldn't be. I have certain powers from my world and so far, it seems I haven't lost any of them."

He nodded while listening to her, still puzzled but it was interesting. Had he ever dodged a bullet? A smile moved over his lips as he remembered the fighting, the chase.... "Yes, dodged bullets and blocked sword thrusts and leapt from buildings -- just some of the things I do that normal people from my world can't. Why? How does this relate to the Matrix?"

By the way he smiled to, Trinity felt comfortable. If she had found some sort of keeper or acquaintance, she had surely done good in meeting him.

"Let's just say I don't need alien material in my genetic make-up to do it. Come."

With that, she got up and walked towards the door. She was going to do it, she was going to throw herself off a bloody building and take whatever the world sent at her. If she could bend the laws of science, then it would surely mean that she was stuck in some other world... perhaps not necessarily in the matrix but it did hold some type of connection to it. She wasn't sure Kadaj would be interested in whatever she was going to do but because she knew young boys like him, his curiosity would eventually get the best of him. She placed the laptop underneath her arm, took some shades from her pocket and motioned to open the door holding it open for a bit.

"Of course, that's if you're interested in my world."

He couldn't help but to actually laugh at the way she said her last statement. Kadaj was willing to go with her for many reasons. Meeting her was certainly better than when he had confronted Anakin and of course...

"I think you already know I'm interested," he said as he got up gracefully and went towards the door. "Where are we going?" Kadaj asked, following the woman in black.

"To the roof." She said calmly as she let the door close behind them leading the two through halls and finally an elevator. She gave the elevator a questioning glance feeling uncertain.

She had had bad experiences with elevators that she always tended to take the stairs but, in this case, would it be so bad? Probably not. She motioned to him to press the button to see if he wanted to go up the elevator.

"I'm going to have a few experiments. If things are the same, then I could easily dodge a bullet."

Seeing her glance at the lift, Kadaj indicated the direction of the nearest stairs which they could both see. He started walking as he asked: "Have you been on the roof? No? Do we have to climb out of windows to get there?" His voice made him sound happy about the idea of this unorthodox passage.

"You make it a habit dodging bullets?"

Trinity was very much happy to see that Kadaj had chosen the elevators and reminded herself to give him thanks sometime. She began leading again without a hesitation.

"I've never been to the roof but I'm sure there is a doorway that leads to it." She reasoned logically. Despite the fact the building was a few floors it just had to have a roof. This resort place has too much stuff to be so idle.

"I don't make it a habit, it's more of means of survival. You see, in the Matrix, people like me are always running. Not because we're cowards but because our enemies are everywhere."

"So you want to be someplace up high? I don't know if this place has more than a couple of floors," he returned as they ascended quickly. "My room's on the second floor and I left from the balcony earlier. Maybe the building changes like the rooms do?" Kadaj wondered. "So that means we'll find a door?"

He glanced at her curiously, as he would be doing a lot. "Ok, so what are people like you in the Matrix and why do you have enemies everywhere? Seems you decided I'm not an enemy but the glitches on the computer bothered you." That was about all he knew about her, besides her name and he liked how she wore black too. She seemed crisp and direct, which he also admired. "You can tell me after your experiments, if you want," he added.

Kadaj had brought a very good point into Trinity's head that made her hesitate. Surely, this building had been two stories high: would it be enough to test it? She recalled another similar building not to far away from the one they were residing at and she figured the test would turn from a fall to a leap. If she didn't make it, the two floor fall wouldn't kill her.

After her hesitant moment, she looked at Kadaj a bit, the glasses hiding the suspicious look of hers while her lips were still curved in a shy smile. "You sure are a curious type, we both got that in common. I'll be very interested in hearing about your world too, you know." Sure, she didn't mind telling him about the Matrix she figured, since she would probably be asking more favors of him now that someone finally knew. It felt good, like some weight was taken off her chest.

She beckoned him to follow her as she started clicking buttons here and there in the laptop she had swung open as she walked through the hall of the second floor, her boots giving a small thump as she walked on looking cool yet menacing.

"Remember what I said about people being slightly different in worlds? I said that because I've seen it. In a sense, I come from two worlds back home. One is the real world, the other is the Matrix."

The laptop began to beep softly as she caught a slight change in patterns. Where there used to be a wall there was now a door she had not noticed before. It was just like being in the Matrix again... Trinity stopped and starred at the door knowing by her body language Kadaj would understand what just happened.

"The Matrix is like a dream world, created to keep humans in a controlled conciseness by machine's. Everything in the Matrix, from the walls to the very ground can be changed." For an instant, she actually felt unsure if she should continue on, after all, what did Kadaj know? Still, his situation of being so different from others was what probably made things so easily understandable and said. It was an awkward feeling: the feeling of trust, but Trinity respected it taking a hold of the handle.

"Think of it as if you were in a computer program, living your life thinking that everything that was happening to you was real without ever realizing you're being controlled. Like a bunch of sheep in a corral." She opened the door as the two were showered with the light from the outside.

"I'll be happy to tell you about my world," he assured. "I just thought you wanted to do your experiments without too much delay and I'm already asking a lot of questions, I know."

His already active sense of interest heightened when the computer beeped. Trinity's boots stopped thumping on the floor and she paused before a door. Kadaj walked almost without any sound, his motions somewhat like a cat's the same way his eyes were. Fluid and the actions of a hunter. He stopped beside her and could see himself reflected in her dark glasses when she explained about the Matrix.

"Hnnn," he said softly as she opened the door put there for their use. He blinked at the light. "It wasn't that bright earlier."

Trinity walked onto the Roof and looked about. The sun was up but the sky was still clouded. Her classes made it simple to look up at the sky and she began to walk towards the ledge, her movements becoming much more graceful, as if she had just decided to transform into someone else. She moved as noiseless as one would think possible, and as fast as the wind. She was by the ledge in seconds standing on the the ledge looking at the building a good ways away.

"I think this will be interesting." She said, placing her hands on her hips as she put her laptop down. The green codes were still falling rather normally on the screen without any awkward spots and she turned to look at Kadaj.

"That building over there is pretty far off. I'm going to say if we put this building on its side it would be the equivalent." She jumped off the ledge and began to put some distance between herself and the ledge in order to catch some speed. This actually took some quick thinking and mathematics. You simply just didn't break the laws of gravity, you needed to beat it. She stood there ready to go, a smirk across her lips.

Interesting indeed!

As he watched her, a laugh erupted from the young man. This laugh had disturbed some people during his previous life on his planet, seeming at best inappropriate and at worst frightening.

"Let's see it!" he called out, challenging a fellow warrior and waving his arm.

Trinity stood there still for a bit looking on at her destination a good ways away. She knew that a regular human wouldn't be able to pull the jump off and in Trinity's case, this jump was for amateurs. Perhaps she had done a mistake in doing this but she just had to know. He heard his laughter and for some reason it soothed her, it sounded like something that would come from Mouse. This was all just a game after all, anything was possible.

It was as if by magic the way Trinity moved. She was like a sprite, a rogue, an artist of motion, an angel of death. The way she propelled herself without even leaving the trace of noise or even the breaking of the wind as she pushed through the air about her with abnormal speeds was astounding. She was going to jump off the roof.

Trinity felt it, felt that same feeling of emptiness she felt whenever she jumped and, even long before her slender boot kicked off from the ledge, she knew she was not in the Matrix but most definitly not in the real world.

It was like if she literally soared through the sky as Trinity 'leaped' the space between the two buildings and landed on the other side perfectly with a cat's balance. She stood there for a moment calculating how much strain she had received but everything felt weightless as if the program of this world did not realize she had just broken its rule of gravity. She turned to look back across the space at Kadaj with a triumphant grin across her lips.

Kadaj emitted a close field of glowing Materia most people couldn't see in the sunlight. His continuing laughter punctuated his own leap from the roof. His 'flight' made the white hair flow back from his face and he landed beside Trinity with a great big smile.

"We still have our powers at least. What other experiments do you want to try?" he wondered, looking down at the ground.

Trinity looked at him rather impressed curious as to what the white orb about Kadaj was. She stood there, feeling alive again as she tilted her head and crossed her arms across her chest.

"I suppose anything drastic will have to wait." She said to his question about the experimentation. This had only proven to her that she was capable of doing anything really and that was all she really needed to know. Perhaps now she could go and hit the gym for old times sakes.

"How about telling me what that is?" she pointed with her nose at the orb about him.

Kadaj flexed his left gloved hand and the bluish white glow concentrated in his forearm, where he had the materia stored. It blazed bright white like a mini star before seeming to retreat back beneath the leather sleeve.

"We call it materia on my world," he answered. "What is materia, you wonder. Energy which is a crystallised form of mako, and mako is the liquid transformation of what we know as the Lifestream," he explained his crash course about his original home, Gaia. "The Lifestream has all the spirit energy of anything alive on my world. We come from it and return to it." He paused in his almost worshipful comments about the Lifestream, stepping closer to the edge of the roof and glancing all around them. Kadaj noted again how they were surrounded by dark clouds but here in the centre, his companion truly needed those sun shades for more than hiding her eyes (and motives?).

He looked at Trinity again. "I'd like to know how Mirage could take me from the Lifestream, and take you from your Matrix, but right now it's your turn for asking questions, so did I completely confuse you just now?" That he doubted very much. She was highly intelligent and so far seemed to be truthful. Kadaj could usually sense deception. "What else can I explain?"

As much as she listened she was still rather confused about how this alien life force had to do with him and all. She was trying to get things right.

"So let me get this straight," she replied. "I'm assuming this lifestream of yours is like the fundamental of life. And that this...materia is like enhancements?"

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]mothersbestson
2008-08-22 01:38 pm UTC (link)
He nodded. "Yes, the Lifestream is fundamental energy and it's not a stream in the physical sense, but sometimes we can see it as little spheres or sparks of light. When it's in mako form, then it's physical and can be used as a source of power. Take it to the next step, where some of us can use materia so your idea of it being enhancements is correct."

"How interesting." She spoke quietly giving Kadaj a look.

"That could have been what the coding was detecting. Your enhancements make you almost an equal to my enemy and it was those traits that the coding was created to detect." She said rather truthfully. To see that the man before her was actually rather powerful made here even more interested in knowing about him.

"And this Alien life force, the one that altered you, is it part of the lifestream as well?"

[info]mothersbestson
2008-08-22 04:45 pm UTC (link)
"Hnn. So the coding didn't pick up on my being part Jenova as much as my enhancements. They called it the Jenova Project and some of what they hoped to accomplish was make superior soldiers."

He nodded slightly. "Jenova's in the Lifestream now. Some claim she pollutes but it might not be the alien cells themselves. There was one man who was the most successful of the experiments and he's the reason she's in the Lifestream. It's a long story. Short version: I think it's the will of this man that pollutes, so to speak."

As he spoke, the wind began picking up strength again, rippling through his shoulder-length hair. Kadaj turned his face into its humid blast and narrowed his eyes against it.

She looked about them as the wind began picking up again, she looked across the building where she left the laptop and she frowned, she could have used it to tell her if there was a storm coming or not. She looked at Kadaj curiously finding his tale of his world rather interesting. Unfortunately, the weather was bothering her.

She gave a small walk as she looked down at the floor below and saw as trees became bent and disfigured here and there by the brutal wind.

"I think our meeting is going to have to be postponed." She sighed disappointed. She would have liked to accompany the man in searching for things here and there and exploring.

"Perhaps another day we can explore?"

He nodded in agreement, turning to look in the direction of the mountains before they retreated back inside.

"I wonder what's in the mountains and desert. How about we go in that direction when the storm ends?" Kadaj gestured into the wind. He had to raise the volume of his voice now.
