Virus smiled.
"I was a member of the crew of the Hamurabi on the original mission to counter-attack the Digging Sentinels as they approached Zion. When Bane betrayed us and set off the EMP, our ship was disabled and attacked by the Sentinels. The Captain was knocked unconsious, so I lead the crew out of the ship and hid them from the squidies. After the war, they gave me my first command post within Zion control, then reposted me as the First Mate here aboard the Morpheus during the military's reconstruction period."

Insaniac smirked and spared a glance at the captain. "Let's just leave it I owe the Oracle a favor. But aren't you the one we're supposed to be asking questions? How'd you wind up without a crew in the first place? You must have been with a ship at one point."

Adept twitched an eyebrow quizzically. I wonder what sort of favour he might owe the Oracle? he thought. Aloud, he replied: "I did serve briefly with a ship. The Horus." His eyes drifted into the distance, into the past, a faint sadness touching them. "But that was a long time ago. I don't know what happened to the the ship, but I did see the crew once more, inside the Matrix..." He shook himself. After the Horus, I moved to Zion as a programmer. It didn't take me long to find reality a little... stifling. I moved away from Zion, to a place where I could leave my body for long periods while I... worked, shall we say, in the Matrix. In order that I could trade with those in Zion, and with ships passing through the tunnels, I bartered for skills and parts, eventually getting my own small ship built. And thus I sit before you."

He looked around the table. "And what of the rest of you? What are your stories?"

Bass smirked. "This is my first ship, mind you. I don't think there's much to reveal except that I was once Kid's friend. When he disappeared I looked inside his room and saw a message from someone named Neo. I'd figure he knew what happened and the next day I saw him fly. I started searching everywhere for this flying guy and recieved a phone call from him after the next 4 days. I was presented with those pills, was awakened and after a couple of years I was able to join a ship, and I chose this one." He scanned across the room. "Someone else's turn to tell their story."

Alpha firgured it was about time to resort to his card up his sleeve.

"Fine, if you need something else to chew on. I know where one of the data streams is. Kill me and you don't get it. I doubt the humans really mean to share this major chance.. to revieve.. or permently destroy THE ONE."

Letting the group mule over that he made himself comfortable on a make shift chair of the junk pile he just jumped off. He pulled out his last little bit of the payday bar he had saved and started to much on it.

Whisper was unphased by Alpha's statement. He looked calmly at his companions. "What is your proposal?" One of the members of the Ghost Gang appeared behind Alpha and put a gun to his head. "Talk. I insist."

"So brash," Alpha rattled off. "I have a few questions.. and a few favors I need done." He stopped for a moment to finish his candy bar. "I am on your side, if I wasn't I would shot you on the way here. You may be able to turn all ghosty, but, still can't see the future. Anyways, hows your loyalty? Thats my first question. Second, if I talk now what is keeping you from killing me." He stopped thinking about it. "Ill help you, the humans think i am on there side. Ill get them to a location where you can set your trap, after they gather some of the info. This way you collect there bounty and mucho info. The catch is, I have a personal vandeta with the frenchy. So heres the deal, you get the stuff, get teh bounty, get super rich and strong, let me finish off the french dude without you bothering me, after that.. its up to you."

Spectre, the program behind Alpha, cocked the pistol. Whisper grabbed Alpha by his coat. "We refuse." He flung Alpha away and the four of them ghosted out in different directions.

((Strength 4))

Alpha laughed as he stood up.

Watching the ghosts move towards him, he cracked his neck. "Fine then... I guess the humans would like to know about your scheme, since I heard it all. If you reconider.. you know my number, I will be generous and wait for a whole.. three hours should be enough. Though don't count it against me if I don't anwser.. Taha ta," rattled off Alpha just as he did a very acountable thing to do against four programs. He ran knowning they can't catch him.
