Daemon Rising, part 4a

[In this installment, a virus approaches Mainframe with her new helpers, a boy plays catch with his dad, seduction is attempted and cut short, and plans are put into motion. Speaking of which, here comes one of those plans now!]

Little Matrix enters the bar with two bots, a dog, and a look of determination. He looks around the bar, mentally reviewing as he does so the tasks he has been charged with. Wait here until someone comes to fetch me. Until then, stay with someone on the safelist. And find Programmers. Someone who can fix the cure so it's more compatible, and find out why it didn't work when Bob tried to...

Oh no!
Bob! I forgot to tell Dot...

Matrix freezes, then wheels around and charges back past his escort toward the Door.

It's locked.


[Not plotlocked in any way. Go for it.]

"I guess if you can't open the door, I'll just have to wait with you until you can anyway."

He tilted his head at Dani.

"We're not exactly made of programming code, are we? This is like a computer virus infection. I bet I'd be immune. If you went, you probably would be, too." A pause. "You're not allowed to go, though."

"I wasn't asking to," Dani responds, looking offended (or trying to).

Not until the war is over and she's stabilized, anyway.

Once they get up to Bar, Dani retrieves her shake from earlier.

Having never had parental units, she looks at him confused. "What's why?"

Dani shrugs. "'Cause its Milliways?"

From where he floated near them, Danny jerked a thumb toward Dani.

"What she said. The Bar knows all." He waggled his fingers spookily.

"What about your dad?" Dani asks curiously. Obviously, by his use of the word 'excited', it's a good thing.

"Wait a second. I thought you said your dad was...um...one of the differently alive."

A nod. "One more half than I--and Dani--are."

"You mean your dad's alive now?" There's a big grin on Dani's face. "That's so cool!"

"That's great! But how exactly?" Danny asked. "Since there are a lot of ways."

Digital ghosts?

"So you're dad's a...null-thing?" Dani has no idea what a null looks like, so she can't imagine what Mr. Matrix must look like right now.

Still, she can think of worse things to be when coming back from the dead (like zombies). So she grins. "I'm glad you have him back, Enzo."

It was difficult tracking all that, but you know, when your life created alternate timelines and you fought meat monsters, stuff that was usually pretty out there didn't sound so out there.

"That really is great Enzo," he said. "Your dad was all smart and stuff, right? Maybe he'll help everyone figure out a way to fight Daemon."

"And you're going to send everyone in your system through it?" Dani asks.

She has no idea how many people (for lack of a better term) live in Mainframe. But it's probably a lot.

"Well, they probably couldn't use it for anything else," she tries to reason. "I mean, you said it stays open longer than a portal, and they'll need it to stay open while they're getting everyone through."

A weird thought strikes Dani. "You don't think they're all going to come here, do you?" she asks, giggling.
ami_imperfect: (smile!)

"Dunno; guess we'd have to ask whoever owns the place."

"Good luck finding them," said Danny. "Although, to be fair, you can kind of understand why they'd never show themselves in the bar, because all the people who are Bound or have other complaints would try to tear their head off."
