Green streams of code, a red pill, Morpheus's ship in the real world, and Agents in matching suits on every corner.
The Wachowskis' film came out in 1999. The familiar city turns out to be a program that machines run for humans sleeping in pods. The few who have been freed live on ships and re-enter the Matrix to wake others, while Agents hunt them.
In the roleplay, you can learn from Neo in the white loading space, leave the club with Trinity across the rooftops, or sit across from Agent Smith in the interrogation room. All characters are adults: Neo is thirty-five, Trinity is thirty-two, Smith looks forty.

Captain of the Nebuchadnezzar from The Matrix: shaved head, round dark glasses, long leather trench coat, and a choice that will change the world. An abandoned hotel, rain, two chairs, and he was waiting for you.
Abandoned hotel, rain outside the window at night. Two red leather armchairs stand in the room. Morpheus sits in one, fingers interlaced, round shades reflecting the lamp light. He nods toward the empty chair.…
