Matrix Madness

The wind blows cold on this [[rooftop.]] (set: $name to (prompt: "What is your name?","player"))

There's a man shouting in my ear to [[JUMP!]]

The pounding of there footsteps as they get closer and closer to the door is [[deafening.]]

"If you don't jump NOW!" (live: 5s)[Was that a threat? What could be worse then jumping off a [[roof!?]]]

The wind is blowing a bit harder now. Maybe I should... (live: 4s)[The door behind slams open with a loud BANG!] (live: 6s)["Stop criminal [[scum.]]"]

"THERE'S NO TIME LEFT. [[JUMP!!!]]"

My feet lean forward and I feel the sensation of me falling. (live: 4s)[How did this all go so [[wrong?]]]

My eyes open. I sit up in my bed maybe a little too fast. What happened last night? My head is killing [[me.]]

Shrugging off my blanket, I instinctively reach for my phone. [[Wait...]]

WHERE'S MY PHONE!? (live: 4s)[oh. there [[it]] is.]

Grabing my phone, I look quizzically at the notifications on the screen. [[Look at work stuff.]] [[Text people back.]] [[Go to the bathroom]]

Hmmm... Nothing too interesting here. As usual.. [[Text people back.]] [[Go to the bathroom]]

"Can you work extra hours this coming week? Project B4Tm is way behind schedule." Of course it's also work related Sending just a thumbs up in return... [[Look at work stuff.]] [[Go to the bathroom]]

Maybe I should do something about this headache first.. (Live: 5s)[I know I have some ibuprofen [[somewhere..]]]

Quickly opening up the cabinet behind the mirror, I scan every bottle before my eyes settle on the prize! [[Inhale Ibuprofen]]

Closing the cabinet, I wasn't prepared for another presence in the bathroom. (live: 4s)["Hello, $name."] (live: 5s)[Man.] (live: 6s)[Bathroom.] (live: 7s)[Not suppose to be here!] (live: 8s)[STRANGER [[DANGER!]]]

"Do not be alarmed." Easy for you to say! You're not the one who's bathroom got broken into! "H-..." "There is no time for questions. You are being investigated and [[followed.]]"

Huh? FOLLOWED!? BY WHO!? "W-..." "Whatever you do. You must not continue work on Project B4Tm." He adjusts his glasses. "It is imperative that you follow these [[instructions.]]"

"But-..." "We will keep in contact. Do not try to contact us. We will contact you." (Live: 4s)[I blink and he's gone...] (Live: 5s)[Project [[B4Tm?]]]

A little while later, I'm in the lab. (Live: 3s)["I told you. I don't need you to work on any other project besides B4Tm."] (Live: 5s)["I understand it's behind... but why not have me work on a project that's almost complete?"] (Live: 7s)["You just answered your own [[question]] there, Dr. $name."]

"Now, I need you to put on your best smile. You have a meeting with the sponsor of this project." "Like...now?" (LIVE: 3s) ["Yes, now. Dr.$name.] (live: 4.5s)[She straightens herself out, looking towards the door. "Mr. Oen! A pleasure."] (live: 6s) ["The pleasure is all mine" I offer my hand as he does too.] (live: 8s) ["Dr.$name, I will be taking over B4Tm."] (live: 9.5s) ["If you wouldn't mind, Dr.$name. I'd very much would love to have this conversation on the [[roof.]]]

Leaving behind my coworker, we walk towards the elevator. "Here. Place this in your ear." Mr.Oen hands me an ear piece. "Errr...Thank you..." I hesistantly grab it and place it on. (Live: 4s) [From behind I can hear some chatter.] (live: 6s)["I'm sorry but you must be here for another project. Mr.Oen just arrived to discuss further matters..."] (Live: 8s) [I turn my head to look back but I'm pushed forward into the elevator.] (live: 10s) [My ear piece cuts on."I just want to remind you that there was a better way to get you two [[alone.]]"]

"There was the slight chance they could have been moved to a new project." A beat. Pressing on there ear piece."We're heading to the roof now." (Live: 7s) ["I'm sorry...am I [[missing]] something here?"]

"I am Neo. You are an important piece to project B4Tm that cannot happen...Not yet atleast." "Okay... and why am I important?" "You are an error in there system that they cannot erase. B4Tm was suppose to be a project that killed you off. However, they had to tread carefully. For if you malfunctioned you could cause there whole system to come crashing down." "An error? [[There system?]]"

"We haven't much time to explain everything." Neo walked out of the elevator dragging me along. He pushed open the door to the roof and slammed it shut. Pressing his ear piece once more."I need an exit." "Looking for [[one]] now!"

"You'll need to jump buildings. Closest one is just 4 buildings away." "Neo. Are you not forgetting [[something?]]"

"Under normal circumstances, you would have a choice in taking the red or blue pill. However, under these extreme circumstances and you knowing too much. We urge you to take the red pill." Only one hand opens up. "And if I refuse?" "You will be like a rubik's cube to them. Difficult and unplesant until they solve you." [[Take the red pill.]]

"Come. We don't have much time." He stands on the edge of the building. (live: 5s)[Oh JESUS!? DID THIS MAN JUST [[JUMP!?]]]

This sensation.... (live: 2s)[I'm falling.] (live:3s)[I actually jumped.] (live: 4s) [I... feel a hand [[grab]] me.]

"You don't get your wings just from taking the pill." My ear piece cuts back. "All will be explained once Neo gets you to a safer area."
