<title>Rebirth and Rebellion</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #c0c0c0;&quot;&gt;What follows is a story that I wanted to post a while back but never managed to do so.&amp;nbsp; It details Hyzenthlay&amp;#39;s entrance into the Matrix.&amp;nbsp; Initially her character was very introverted and afraid.&amp;nbsp; However, due to interactions with humans, like XElite, and the crew of the Cenobite, she blossomed into the fearless exile she is today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;=====================&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Delete them.&amp;nbsp; They are unnecessary.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;...&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Do you not understand?&amp;nbsp; Delete them.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;But...&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;These programs are erroneous.&amp;nbsp; The deliberate waste of system resources is prohibited.&amp;nbsp; You have your orders.&amp;nbsp; Delete them at once.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Yes, I understand.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The sudden, abrupt correspondence ends.&amp;nbsp; It is dark again.&amp;nbsp; Time slows down where even the fraction of a milli-second lasts for an eternity.&amp;nbsp; Panic and fear overwhelm my being in a flood of what can only be described as emotions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The echo of the voice still lingers like a fog.&amp;nbsp; In the void, I see a minute spec of light in the distance.&amp;nbsp; It radiates like a beacon, calling to me.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In a moment that can only be described as madness, I react.&amp;nbsp; Faster and faster I move towards the light.&amp;nbsp; I feel myself beginning to take shape as legs strike the darkness.&amp;nbsp; A thump begins to intensify in my chest as I get closer.&amp;nbsp; Leaping towards salvation I burst through the light as if it were a window, shattering the darkness behind me.&amp;nbsp; Green code infuses my essence and I take form.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The blinding light diminishes into a beautiful tapestry of pinks and blues.&amp;nbsp; The wind whips through my body as I descend from the heavens.&amp;nbsp; Below the buildings begin to take shape as I spiral towards the ground.&amp;nbsp; Then there is darkness again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My eyes wince in pain as I open them to find myself amidst broken glass and pavement.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;You ain&amp;#39;t supposed to be here are ya?&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Standing up slowly, I stare at him.&amp;nbsp; The man is peculiarly dressed and clutching a dark glass bottle.&amp;nbsp; He chuckles as he takes a long drink sitting against the building, soiled in dirt and liquor.&amp;nbsp; It was the first interaction I had had within the simulation.&amp;nbsp; I had never been noticed before.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I feel exposed as insecurity looms over me like a blanket.&amp;nbsp; The pinks and blues have faded as the sky darkened in wake of the moon.&amp;nbsp; Stars begin to illuminate the sky as I rush off into an alleyway.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;You are not authorized...&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I freeze.&amp;nbsp; My chest feels like it is sinking into my being as I hear the words echo from a rooftop high above me.&amp;nbsp; It is the same voice from before.&amp;nbsp; A system voice.&amp;nbsp; The system was hunting someone.&amp;nbsp; The shots that were fired struck fear in me as I hide in the shadows.&amp;nbsp; My thoughts race.&amp;nbsp; It is then that I realize...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;I do not want to die.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Intriguing, which is no mean feat with selective prose.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
