Everything was running smoothly for Matrix. He had ten seconds of scanning left, and he thought he would easily get away with it. Suddenly, a voice came from behind him.
"Hey! What are you doing?" said the Reploid.
Matrix whirled around and looked at the robot. It was the reploid that had attacked him when the war had still been raging. It took all Matrix had to keep him from hacking the Reploid to pieces. Matrix looked at Seres and decided against it. He only had 3 seconds of downloading left. When it was finished, Matrix looked up at the reploid and smiled.
"I was checking the main computer for viruses," he started. "Since Commander X didn't assign me anywhere I supposed he wanted me to make myself useful. No harm there, right?"
He smiled and hoped the Reploid wouldn't catch on.
"Well, I'd better be going. Later, dude."
He walked out calmly, but when he got around the corner, he took off in a run.
