"Of course not. I love spiting you guys, but I'm kinda trying to save as many of these people as I can", she pointed out, smirking. "And... I take it if you're aware of the necessity of stopping this, you have some sort of general idea as to how?"

The first step is purging and sealing the gateways leading into these other worlds." He said. "I can map them out for you. However it will be up to you to seal them. Even with my power. The risk to my being is too great."

"I see. I'm fairly confident that I can do it", she said, nodding.

The administrator pulls out a piece of data. "This will help your operator pinpoint the wormholes. I have taken the liberty of instructing the machines not to send Sentinels after your ship for the duration of this truce. We are putting our faith in humanity for once. You'd be wise not to disappoint us."

Neo frowned. "...Really? 'Don't disappoint us'? Are you sh*ttin' me? How about you get off your mighty high horse and stuff it? ...I should be telling that to you. Heck, you should be begging me to even care to pretend to see you as equals in this truce, Mr. The-Risk-To-My-Being-Is-Too-Great from the 'Enslaving my kind for generations' side. If you're gonna offer a truce, don't act like a d*ckhead the instant the agreement is made", she said dryly.
"And another thing. Speaking of truce? Don't act like you're doing us a favor by 'taking the liberty' of calling off sentinels attacks on our ship. That's the whole point of a truce. And news flash... you're calling sentinels attacks off of ALL Resistance ships, not just ours. Otherwise, in order to match your ridiculous offer, I would only refrain from attacking you, and those specific two Agents, and nothing else. Something which I'm sure you can realize to be pointless and nonsensical for both sides. A truce applies to both, entire sides of a conflict, not less than a handful of individuals among tens of thousands on either side. Let's do this properly or let's not do this at all", she said dryly. 5 in Social Skills (Calm and collected, Persuade, Intimidate, The One) to point out the flaws in his offer, and suggest proper truce conditions for us both.

"It was you humans who started this war! It was you humans who destroyed the world on the surface! We did you a favor locking you in the matrix instead of giving you the extinction you truely deserved!" He declares as the junck begins to fly and form around his body.

"And here I thought we humans were the overly emotional, irrational ones, yet you're the one getting pissed off the moment I point out how your offer is nowhere near to what a truce means. But sure, if you want to discuss about who's right and wrong, I have a thing or three to tell you", she said, glaring at him.
"...For starter, no, it wasn't 'us humans' who started this war, or who destroyed the world on the surface. It was 'them humans', very distant ancestors a damn long time ago. Not a single living, breathing human still surviving today was anywhere close to being conceived, let alone born when that mess happened. Not a single damn person kept in your nightmarish fields of metal up there is responsible, not a single damn person kept in your nightmarish fields of metal up there has committed any crime whatsoever. In fact, they didn't do anything, because you never let them, because you've kept them in slavery from the moment they became anything more than a single cell. You're condemning an entire species, for countless generations, and if you have your way, for the rest of eternity, for the actions of but a couple of generations who are long dead. And if you think that's just and fair, then you are even more delusional than I suspect you to be, and even more cruel than any of those of us who still draw breath has ever been."
She shook her head.
"And you did us a favor? ...How ironic. Those same disgusting humans you hate so much used the same kind of reasoning for anyone they enslaved back then, the machines included. 'We're doing them a favor by enslaving them when we could be destroying them instead'. You have become the exact same thing the machines back then hated, except that given how long, how systematically and to how many you've been doing it, you are much, much worse. But sure. Keep telling yourself it's the other side's fault, I'm sure it's helping you sleep much better at night. Oh wait, I forget. The only ones sleeping in this world are us, and the humans you never allowed to wake up. Nevermind then."
She folded her arms.
"By the way, I didn't mean to turn this into a 'whose side is wrong' fight. That was your move. All I did was point out that your so-called truce wasn't a truce at all, anyone with half a brain would see that. Or half a processor, in your case, I guess", she said coldly. "I told you. I'm up for a truce if it's a REAL truce. So if you're truly here to discuss a truce, then drop the passive aggressive crap, and let's come up with a real one." 5 in Social Skills (Calm and collected, Persuade) to again point out the flaws in his response, and mention I'm still up for a real truce if they are willing to drop the pointing fingers attitude and meaningless offers.

By this time he has turned into a 100' giant made of metal. "You talk too much." He said stomping on you fast and hard. "The deal is OFF!"

"Uwaaah!" Neo cried out as she was slammed hard into the floor, the speed of the monster taking her by surprise. "Heh. Shut up. You never had any intention of making anything close to a decent deal anyway, you bastard!" she retorted, using her powers to shove her massive foe off with a 200 tons telekinetic force!

You try to lift the monster off, but it's too strong and is pushing back against your force. "Stop talking back human! If you had just let that one little comment go, we wouldn't be in this fight!" He declared growing to a massive size as the giant automaton merges with him like a sort of armor.

"You're hilarious", the purplette responsed, growing in kind, as she needed more strength to get the bastard off of her. "You start acting all high-and-mighty and holier-than-thou, I called you on your BS, and you get pissed. You throw the first punch, I defend myself, and you blame me for the fight. Projecting much? ...You're the biggest hypocrite I ever met."
"If I had ever come to you with the offer you came to me with only to talk sh*t to you the way you did, you would *never* had let that 'one little comment go'. You would have told me to shove it and to go to hell and attacked me just how you did just now. But I had the decency of only pointing out how, and why, that was ridiculous, and you were still the one who attacked me for it. You are a billion percent responsible for this fight and you know it damn well if you have any hint of logic in those processors of yours", she retorted as she pushed back on him. H: 9/9 P.L: 2/5
13 (Ef) in Hacking the Matrix (Shape Shifter, Growth, Deflection) +3 from the Anomaly to grow to 200' tall, and gain +11 Str and +10 Dur. 6 into Force Field, into defense.

He pauses and reverts back to normal size. "Enough... I have more pressing issues right now. I will take my leave, but know this. You have not won any favor from me today Human." He said before vanishing down a hole in the earth which quickly closes.

Neo turned back to normal as well, keeping her guard up, glaring at him, though he only spoke as opposed to attacking more.
"As if I was here to earn brownie points from your sorry ass", she retorted dryly. "You can keep your stupid favors", she said, before leaving and taking her phone. "Link? ...Find me a way out of here, please." Returning to normal size.
Leaving, and asking Link to find me a phone to head back.
