The Matrix: Resurrections (2021)

[dailytomlinson]

bp_audi0: Got home from a lovely week in Aviemore with Gem and the kids to find this amazing gift waiting for me. 120 shows seems crazy to think that. Huge thanks to @louist91 and @seven7management for the gift. 🙏🏼

"Poppet?" Phoenix asks uncertainly. They look scared.

"I'm sorry, I- I didn't mean, I-"

Phoenix squeezes their hand where they're still holding it. They understand why Poppet's scared, Abbie would punish them if they used their camouflage incorrectly or without permission, she doesn't like it, but Zera just thanked them, it was a good thing, they stopped them being injured. They're alright.

"Really, Poppet. Thank you. I could've been seriously hurt if it wasn't for you."

Poppet's looking a little green. More than a little, actually, and Zera's eyes widen at the same time as Phoenix realises. They port across the room, thrusting the bin under Poppet's mouth just in time.

Phoenix stands there uncertainly. They're not sure what they can do to help. They just know that Poppet is very scared and they don't like it.

"They, um, I don't think Foxfire is going to hurt you," they murmur. They know how unusual it is not to get hurt but Zera really doesn't seem like they will. They haven't so far anyway. Phoenix is still trying not to think about tomorrow and Abbie. "You're, um, you're okay."

"You're absolutely okay," Zera says, trying to sound as reassuring as possible. "I'm not going to hurt you. No one is going to hurt you."

They say the words to Bailey, but they mean it for both of them. Phoenix's words, how fast they came to the conclusion that Bailey was afraid of being hurt for using their powers, were scaring the shit out of Zera. Honestly, at this point? Zera thinks the other hero shouldn't be returned to their team until this is cleared up.

"I'm going to go get rid of this, and I'll be back in less than 30 seconds. Can you count that out for me?" Zera asks. Hopefully giving them a specific task will help keep them from spiraling further into panic. "Firebird, watch over them until I get back. Like I said, I'll be fast."

Zera has officially gotten past the point of being able to handle this solo. They are calling in backup.

They port out to the garage. They land in their designated spot, the area outlined with their signature bright blue. Dropping the trash can, they turn to the camera and start signing as they speak.

"Attention," they say, making the sign that will alert Iris's programs that she needs to look at this feed ASAP. "Backup needed in medbay. Send Tempest and Airmid soft-entrance. Postpone pickup for Firebird."

They make sure to use everyone's codename-signs rather than personal name-signs, emphasizing that this is a hero-related matter rather than any off-duty one, and specify a soft entrance so that, hopefully, the two heroes arriving wouldn't scare the twitchy patients any more than they already were. And while Zera doesn't technically have the authority to say Phoenix should stay with them for longer, Elijah and Maeve are both already a little worried with how the young hero is acting. Zera's input about what they've seen tonight will just be the icing on the cake.

They don't have time to explain in any more detail. They need to get back to the medbay before Phoenix and Bailey manage to— Zera didn't even know, but they definitely didn't want the two alone for any longer than necessary. They sign one last thing to the camera before porting back.

They put their right hand in a thumbs-up sign on top of their flattened left hand, and drag the whole sign towards themself.

Help me.

Today's show was so overhwelmingly chaotic that I had to use my inhaler TWICE (I've been trying to only use it once a day to see how my lungs are doing). But as chaotic and exhausting as it was... Goddamn I'm good at what I do.

While they were diagnosing a problem and working through Plan A, I set up Plan F by myself while 6 people stood around watching Plan A-C fail.

And when they yelled that the show would have to be canceled this week, I had Plan F up, set, running, and it was what I told them to do from the start.

Why is there only Plan A-C, then suddenly Plan F?

My Plan was always Plan F, for "Fuck it, we bail".

Vi sits at her desk, tapping her pen repeatedly as she struggles to focus, her mind elsewhere.

Things were supposed to be different.

Back when Lancaster became a 3B, Vi really didn't know him. Still doesn't, really. But she knew, somewhere, that his treatment was fundamentally wrong. And she could have helped. Maybe not have gotten him out, but she surely could have been there—she had the resources, she had the time. And yet she didn't. She typed away at the screen, ignoring the issue because—because why, it was easier?!

And Vi wants to tell herself that she's changed. But... well, it's not like she's talked to Cas, has she? It's... it's easier, not to.

Vi takes a deep breath, in and out, as she leans back in her chair.

And then she has an idea.

Vi has experience with AICs. Half the reason she's here in the first place is she accidentally helped make one. Looking at past incidents regarding 3Bs, even with the low sample size, shows some key behavioral and mannerism changes that occur upon infection, even right after. Enough so that a trained eye, like Raddagher, could spot it. If... if she could make something to detect 3Bs with high enough accuracy, then it could be used to stop anybody from getting hurt. And... and it could be used to tell when "existing" 3Bs stop being anomalous. To make sure something like Lancaster's circumstance can't happen again. It'd be difficult, hell even, and she'd have to talk to half the departments to get approval, but...

Vi has fixed most of her life's problems with technology, why should this be any different? She grabs a sticky note from her desk, quickly jotting down a name before pressing it firmly to her monitor.

"Pano.aic"

The UK government and arms industry are both complicit in Israel’s killing of seven aid workers in Gaza, including three British citizens, the Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT), has alleged. The workers were killed by a strike from a Hermes 450 drone manufactured by Israeli-owned company Elbit Systems. The drone is powered by a UK-made R902(W) Wankel engine, produced by Elbit subsidiary UAV Engines Limited in the UK.
