Day 10 // Debriefing
Who: Trinity (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 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. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

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)

	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?"

"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. (Reply to this) (Parent)
