[color=#000000:post_uid0]Neo wakes up and meets Tank, a freeborn human without an uplink port (meaning he can't enter the Matrix, so he acts as "operator" when the team does so). He tells Neo about Zion, the last free human city. Then he hooks Neo up for the training Morpheus mentioned -- which turns out to be nothing more difficult than instantaneous downloads into his brain. Neo learns one martial art after another, loving every minute.
One scene, synopsis here.[/color:post_uid0] |

Tank: Yup - last place in the real world where you can still buy a McDonalds. Time to start downloading things I think. Neo: And how do you do that, exactly? Tank: Using GoZilla of course.[/color ![]()
