Taka woke aboard the Binary Revolution.
What was this, the fourth, fifth hovercraft he's been a crewman on? He couldn't remember anymore....
His papers were strewn about his small desk and his bunk. Heh, always working while in bed. Small schematics of hovercrafts and sentinels watched him as he climbed out of his bunk.
As he stepped out of the bunk, a book he stepped on flew out from under his foot, introducing Taka to the floor at high velocity. "Dammit....son of a....." The Zion power systems manual looked at Taka innocently as if it wasn't at fault. "Zion. Figures."
Taka grabbed the book from the floor and walked out of his cabin. He walked to the engineering section of the ship. Among the fuses and wires, he pulled out his makeshift lighter. "Never again will I go to Zion. I don't need this...." he whispered to himself, as the book burned to nothing in front of him.
Taka turned to see Aaroun standing at the exit from the engineering level. "You know, I would think that burning things in the engineering level would be prohibited. I thought you, out of all people, would know that."
"Well, I needed some privacy."
"To burn?"
"Yeah."
"Dare I ask?"
Taka's eyes watered a bit, sending a tear down his face. "Just burning old memories....."
((I'll finish it later when I don't have work to do))

6 months prior to the Truce
"He's coming to."
A woman with white hair stood over a bald man, barely clothed and shaking violently. His eyes were red with irritation and his breathing was rapid.
A few other men walked over the bald man. "How's it feel? Being in the real?" one asked.
The woman smiled. "Welcome to the Gnosis, seeker of knowledge."
2 months prior to the Truce
Ever since Ice freed him from the Matrix 4 months earlier, Taka had been recuperating from his extraction. The light didn't hurt anymore and he'd gotten used to the cold.
To pass the time during the long months of rehabilitation, Taka had taken to reading the manuals and journals describing the technical systems of Zion. The ingenuity of the designs, the sheer inventiveness and skill at jury-rigging amazed him. He had read almost all of the electrical system and hovercraft system manuals before his rehabilitation was complete.
Prior to and during the siege of Zion, Taka helped to prepare the doomed hovercrafts and took to the maximization of electrical power to the docks during the assault. He even saw the Kid during this now famous "He did it!" run through the surviving population.
0 to 12 months after the Truce
Taka spent most of his time working in Zion, specifically designing and building the hoverbarges that brought the newcomers to the Matrix. He was considered one of the best engineers in Zion, at least when it comes to the physical components.
One day, the call went out through Zion for dedicated individuals to go to the Matrix as Zion operatives. There seemed to be a high rate of conversion of once loyal Zion operatives to Merovingian and Machine crews. Taka answered this call and left on the next available hoverbarge.
