   Summary

   Sam dies during the battle of Egypt, but...he doesn't wake up.

   There's no Primes, no walking among the Matrix...there's not even the infamous bright light at the end of the tunnel...just the brief darkness of death. And then...he was back! But something's wrong...he's surrounded by a group of unfamiliar femmes in an unfamiliar place, in a tiny, unfamiliar, robotic body...

   What's going on? And why is the bot, whom Sam is 100% sure is the infamous Elita-One, calling him her 'son'?
