Also please keep in mind, this is round one of a multiround fight in this chapter. The T-800's were surprised, now they move to seize initiative.
You bastard, if we took up a collection would that make you write faster?

Seize initiative? YES!!!! YES!!! WEEE!!!!
I want to see Termies doing Matrix action. I'm a bit saddened by Trinity's kicking of the Termie's chin via Matrix manipulation and the Termie not doing shit about it
But now... they're gonna kick ass even if one of them has a broken arm.
Let's see how the Agents and the Zionists fare against the Termies.
And I wanna see a bunch of Termies kick Merovingian's skiny french fried ass!!!!

Niice. The bit with Neo kicking the butt of a T-800 is feasible considering how he seems to have quite super-human strength. Excellent stuff once again, im eager to see what happens next.
Stravo if you need help with weapons i can offer it.

That was coooool! And about damn time too!
Neo definately should be able to take on a terminator, he's the one for christ's sake. The zionists should be able to stand up to them to some extent, with their focus/time dilation abilities, but it should be a tough battle, i think you pulled it off wonderfully Stravo.
And i loved the t1 links with the phased plasma rifle and clothes and tech noir etc, great stuff!
Next chapter please!

I actually liked the approach to Neo. He's supposed to be God, and I wanted the T-800s to be suprised to get their asses kicked.

I want Neo to be surprised when the T-800s give him respectable damage.

Yeah but they shouldn't. He can fly, move faster than anyone else, take multiple deagle shots, the t800s should be pooed on by neo, like the agents. The t800s should be able to pound on them though, just about, which they are doing, and it's being worked into the plot. Seems fine to me.

I want Neo to be impressed with the T-800s, like how he was with the upgrades. EQUAL RIGHTS FOR THE TERMINATORS YOU FACISTS!!!! T-800 RIGHTS!!! T-800 RIGHTS!!!! *grabs poster and walks around*

I don't need help. I need a new chapter. Hmmm.... perhaps that's why I need help.
Anyway, Stravo care to give us an ETA for the next chapter?

I think very much thats your problem right there
Prehaps we could all do with a "treatment"

Indeed, "treatment" would be nice.

I go from expounding on the virtues of Stravo's Starcrossed fic only to start reading this one last night. Stravo, it is quite possible that you're wasting your life if you are not a full-time writer.
I can't wait for more. POST NOW!!!!
Stravo, would you consider becoming the Prime Minister of Canada?

I HAVE to ask....why PM of Canada?
Posted: 2003-08-09 08:47pm

Because everyone Canadia lacks a certian "stravo" to it
PS I promise I'm working on that thing you ask me to, just to many shinny things to distract me here atm, I'll get it done before Mike keels over, no later I promise!

No need to explain my friend, I'm just afraid I imposed too much on you.

No, he wouldn't. Reese may have blown himself up in the original film, but only because he had no other effective weapon at hand.
And in the target environment, (Tech Noir = crowded indoor area) explosives were equally likely to cause injury or death to his charge as they would to her enemies. Reese is smart enough to know that.

Stravo, I asked you to be the PM of Canada because you've shown more creativity and insight at this board than the whole of my government has ever shown. Period.
Obviously you're not going to be. Perhaps we can crown you King or something else equally fitting of your god-like writing skills. Like Quellor, the Supreme Oppressor from Teddy Ruxpin cartoons... or not...
What's the opposite of oppressor?... The Supreme Depressor!!! No, that's not it either. Lord of the pants? King of bling bling? Ah-ha! I have it!
Ladeeeeeees and Gentlemen! Please put your hands together for Stravo, the Supreme Successor. Of course, we can't actually call you this until after you succeed Brannon and Braga and Berman as the one and only head of all things Trek. Your Star Trek vehicles could not possibly be worse and you just might have what you need to successfully pitch Starcrossed to Lucasfilm.
Well, a man can dream....

Since when were brownings and desert egales the same things?
I thought they were different then again my knowledge of firearms is limeted

They are indeed a different weapon, DE is manufactured by Magnum while the Browning is by Browning. Also, there are 3 different calibers of DE XIX model, the .357 Magnum , .44 Magnum and the .50 Action Express.

That was an editing error on my part, the weapon is originally supposed to be a Browning 9mm but I changed it to soemthing with a little more kick, forgot to erase the Browning part when I erased 9mm. I amy be a noob about weapons but not that clueless.

Question: Are the Termies there showing physical wounds in their organic outer layer? Or due to some code manipulation they just close up and aren't scratched, like Matrix people clothes.

Figured as much. I thought too that it was a typo, and those can happen often (atleast to me). No one is jumping to yer throat about it
