I thought about that. Perhaps "getting out" just means leaving the matrix AND getting safely back to Zion. What do you guys think?
Kida, I'm going to assume you know how to operate a helicopter and that you have one. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
<i>A helicopter can be seen in the distance as it heads towards the landing pad on the top of the roof. Kida is the pilot waving everyone on board as he is fixing to land.
Kida shouts, "Come onboard! The agents can't touch us if we're in the air!"
Suddenly, black liquid overwhelms Kida as he turns into another agent which looks a lot like former agent Smith. Another duplicate can be seen behind him with his hands reaching back out of his back.
"Yes.. come on board. We'll all have a good ol' time," the Smith clone comments with a smerk on his face.
He spins around in the helicopter with duel miniguns on both sides of the craft firing. The bullets begin hitting the floor of the building shattering the concrete in thousands of pieces as the trail heads towards the crew. The other smith clone drops down on the roof and proceeds to walk towards them leaving pistols holstered.</i>
<span style='color:green'>*On seeing the black liquid overwhelming Kida I say "Ah, crap?" and I run for the nearest staircase* *When I hear the sound of the miniguns firing, I whince and mutter "Miniguns, so freaking overkill..." as I start rapidly decending the stairs*</span> I've run because only a fool will take on a helicopter armed with miniguns using only a pistol.
