v. 1.0.1
Bob and Matrix stared in wonder at the form that had suddenly sprung out of the darkness: it looked exactly like Matrix! The only two differences were that instead of one target eye, it had two; and where Matrix had a normal left hand, it had spikes extending from its own. But when it turned on them in the dark dead end, and Matrix saw its two"(V)" eyes glowing red at them, he drew his gun and pointed it straight at his look-alike, only to find himself staring down the barrel of an almost exact duplicate of his own gun, held on the hand of this. . . thing.
One, two, three nanoseconds they pointed their guns at each other, each unwilling to lower his weapon, lest the other fire. Slowly, Matrix lowered his gun and stared at this form.
"No Matrix, it�s dangerous! Glitch . . . ." but again he wasn�t able to finish as the form�s left hand flashed out, quicker than sight, and threw him far into the air and behind him.
"Bob!" Matrix shouted, watching him fly away, propelled by this form. Like a flash, he pulled out his gun again to delete this creature that tried to hurt Bob. Whack! He found his gun flicked out of his hand and far up into the air. Quickly he jumped back and grabbed an energy dumpster just behind him and threw it at the form. But the form raised his left hand and an energy beam shot out and surrounded the dumpster. In a burst of light, the dumpster was shrunk into oblivion. Things might have gone bad for Matrix if the form hadn�t suddenly slumped down to the ground, revealing Bob standing behind it, Glitch upraised.
"Thanks," said Matrix, "That was close. What do you think it is?"
"I don�t know, but whatever it is, we�ve got to take it back to the Principal Office and have Phong take a look."
"Wouldn�t that be dangerous, Bob? I mean, it did try to hurt you."
"Matrix, he didn�t hurt me at all. All he did was throw me straight towards the diner. Besides, I�ve got Glitch if he does anything. It hasn�t said anything, so it might just be programmed to fight."
"All right, Bob. But contact Phong and let him know we�ve got a possibly dangerous creature of some kind that he needs to take a look at."
"Right. I�ll tell him to have a level 5 containment field in the examination room. Phong?"
"Yes, Bob."
"We�ve got a potentially dangerous situation down here that we need you to take a look at. It has destructive tendencies, but there might be something wrong with it. It did repair a tear that appeared right in front of us."
"Repaired a tear? How? Does it have keytool?"
"I can�t get into it now Phong. Just be ready with a level 5 containment field in the examination room."
"All right, Bob. Just be careful with this. . .situation."
"Matrix, help me carry this thing back to the Principal Office."
"I�m nanoseconds ahead of you, Bob."
