I know man, I cannot wait to test this.  I thought it was just a retooling of Multi interlock.  I didnt know they were totally reconstructing the way Combat is taken.  I guess forget everything you know about the current system.

Morpheus: Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know, you can't explain. But you feel it. You've felt it your entire life. That there's something wrong with The Matrix Online. You don't know what it is, but it's there...like a splinter in you're mind, driving you mad. It is this feeling that has brought you to me. Do you know what I'm talking about?

Neo : The combat system?


Morpheus : The Combat System is everywhere. It's all around us, even in this
very room. *scene cuts to Switch and Apoc throwing fists in the corner*
You can see it when you look out your window or
when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you
go to work, when you pay your taxes.
The Combat SYstem is the selling point that has been pulled over your eyes,
to blind you from the truth.

Neo: What Truth?

Morpheus : That you are a slave, Neo. Like everyone else, you were suckered
into bondage, solicited into a prison that you cannot smell or
taste or touch. A prison...for your $15 a month....Unfortunatly,
no one can be...told what the Combat System is...you have to see
it for yourself.

Morpheus opens a container which holds two pills : a blue one, and a red one. He puts one in each hand, and holds them out to Neo.

Morpheus : This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning
back.....You take the blue pill, the story ends. You are disconnected,  
margin server error, and belive...whatever you want to believe. You take the red
pill.....you stay in MxO...and I show you just how
deep the rabbit hole goes.

Neo pauses for an instant, then reaches for the red pill. He swallows it down with a glass of water, and looks at Morpheus.

Morpheus : Remember...all I'm offering you is total pwnage : nothing
more.

Morpheus half smiles at Neo.

Morpheus : Follow me.....

Neo : /fol

They walk through double doors. For some reason they did not open-they walk THROUGH them into a room with computer terminals and other machines. Morpheus speaks to Apoc

Morpheus : Apoc, are we online?

Apoc : Almost...I keep getting a -13 error. Servers should be up soon.

Trinity and Apoc are busy wiring a complex system of monitors, modules and drives to max thier RAM.

Morpheus : Time is always against us. Please, take a seat there.

Morpheus gestures towards another arm chair. Neo cautiously sits down, still looking at all the computer terminals and wires. Morpheus walks arround looking at walls as though he had no brain.

Neo : You did all this?

Trinity : Nope, I EBayed.

Morpheus : The pill you took is part of a tracing program. It's
designed to disrupt your input/output carrier signals so we
can pinpoint your location...Then disconnect you from MxO. It's a
common practice. Get use to it.

Neo looks confused.

Neo : What does that mean?

Cypher looks up from his computer terminal.

Cypher : It means, Buckle your seat belt Dorothy...'cause Mara...is
going bye-bye.

As Neo looks at an old cracked dressing mirror nearby, it appears to show his image twice. As he stares at it, he speaks to Morpheus

Neo : Did you....sploitz??

Morpheus ignores his question

Morpheus : Have you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was
real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How
would you know the difference, between the dream world...and
the real world....?

As Neo curiously reaches out to touch the mirror, it wobbles, and appears to stick to his hand.

Neo :  This can't be...

Morpheus : Be what? A Bug?

As Neo pulls away, the strands thin like rubber cement as he pulls away, until the fragile wisps of mirror break, and only a tiny fragment of the liquid is left. He looks at it, and it begins to consume his hand, crawling up his arm. He squirms.

Trinity : It's going into replication!

Morpheus : Apoc?

Apoc : Just a second, I have to cancel out of the Bug Reporter!

The liquid has covered all of Neo's right arm by now, and works it's way up his shoulder to his neck

Neo : OMGWTFBBQFBI!!!!!

Morpheus takes out a cellular phone, and dials a number

Morpheus : Tank, we're going to need a signal soon. Also, load me up a sausage pizza, pronto.

Neo begins to panic, as he tips his head up as if he's sinking into the mirror, trying to keep his mouth up.

Trinity : We've got a fibrillation!

Morpheus : Apoc! Location! Corner Peice!

Apoc : Targeting, almost there!

Apoc hands Morpheus a peice of pizza

By now Neo is almost totally consumed by the liquid, squirming as it works it way up his face.

Trinity : He's going into arrest!

Apoc : LOCK, I got him!

Morpheus : Now, Tank! Now!

.....

Switch : We got him...Wouldn't the Hardline have been easier, really?

The Rest : ....

Morpheus : Fuck you Cracka. This way is more fun.

That's what happens when your very bored at work. I could probably do the whole script by the end of the day.

I'm at work, can't put it up there.

(hovercraft)

Morpheus : Welcome to the real world...You think it is the year 199---

Neo passes out.

As he is unconscious, Morpheus and Trinity talk in hushed voices

Morpheus : ...We've done it, Trinity...we've found him.

Trinity : I hope you're right...I need some loving

Morpheus shovels a spoonful of goo in an icecream carton into his mouth.

Neo wakes up later on, and looks at Trinity and Morpheus, who are standing watching him.

Neo : ....Am I dead?

Morpheus : Far from it...I wanted to tell you earlier. You think it's 1999, when real---

Neo passes out again.

Morpheus : Why does he keep doing that?!

Later on, he wakes up. He sees his body pierced with dozens of acupuncture-like needles wired to a strange device.

Dozer: He still needs a lot of work.

Neo : NEEDS A LOT OF WORK? WHA-WHAT THE...WHAT THE HELL MAN! OWW!

Morpheus : Your muscles have atrophied, we're rebuilding them.

Neo : Why do my eyes hurt?!

Neo blinks

Morpheus : These are blinding needles.

Neo looks confused

Morpheus : Rest, Neo. You need to know that you have been in a computer generated wor---

Neo passes out again.

Morpheus : Fucking n00b.

When he wakes up, he's lying on a bed in a room.

He begins to examine himself. There is a futuristic IV plugged into the jack in his forearm.

Neo : Whoa...

He pulls it out, staring at the grafted outlet. He feels his bald head.

Neo : Whoa...

His fingers find and explore the large outlet in the base of his skull.

Neo : WHOA!

Just as it starts to come unglued, Morpheus opens the door and walks in.

Keanu Reeves forgets any peice of acting advice he's ever been given

Neo : Morpheus, what the hell is happeneing to me?

Morpheus : ....

Neo doesn't pass out

Morpheus : OK, More important than 'what?' is _'when?'_

Neo : Who are you now? The Riddler?

Morpheus : You believe that it is the year 1999, when in fact is closer to 2199. I can't tell you _exactly_ what year it
is, because we honestly don't know. There's nothing I can
say that will explain it for you, Neo...Come with me, see
for yourself.

Neo : /fol....
Nothing
Neo : /fol....
Nothing
Neo : /fol....

Morpheus : Remember, that whole welcome to the real world thing?

Neo follows Morpheus rather unsteadily through the door.

Switch Whispers to Trinity : I still don't see why we can't just upload the explanation to them. I think Morph just likes ot hear himself talk.

Morpheus : I heard that, you Albino bitch.

Morpheus : Neo, This is my ship, the Nebuchadnezzar....

Morpheus points left. Then right. Then straight ahead.

Morpheus : It's a hovercraft. This is the main deck...This is the core, where we broadcast our pirate signal, and...log
into the Matrix.

They enter a room where the other people Neo has met are all standing, or sitting at computer terminals.

Neo : My monitors were bigger than yours.

Morpheus : Most of my crew, you already know.

Trinity nods and smiles and licks her lips

Morpheus : This is Apoc, Switch, and Cypher.

Cypher smiles

Cypher : Hi.

Morpheus : The ones you don't know, Tank, and his big brother,
Dozer...The little one behind you is Mouse.

Mouse smiles at Neo and waves slightly shyly

Morpheus looks at him, rolls his eyes then turns back to Neo.

Morpheus : You wanted to know...what MxO and the combat system is, Neo?

Neo nods unsteadily

Morpheus nods to Trinity

Trinity nods back to Morpheus

Morpheus nods to Trinity

Trinity nods back to Morpheus

Morpheus nods to Trinity a little harder

Trinity nods to Morpheus a little harder

Apoc nods to Morpheus

Morpheus gives Apoc an odd look

Morpheus : Damnit woman! Strap him in!

Trinity approaches Neo, and helps him into an armchair, strapping in his feet, piching his butt, and leaning his head back against the head rest.

Morpheus looks at Neo

Morpheus : Try to relax...this will feel....a little _weird_.

As Morpheus guides a coaxial line into the jack at the back of his neck, Neo screams and makes a few other disturbing noises.

Neo : *farts*

When he opens his eyes, he is standing in a totally white place. His hair is back, and he is wearing different clothes.

As Neo spins around a bit, trying to see what's going on, Morpheus appears in front of him.

Morpheus : This is the loading area.We can load anything from
clothing, to equipment, weapons, pills, boosters, anything we need.

Neo is having a hard time getting a grasp of this.

Neo : Right now....we're inside a computer program?
