I don't have time for this.

[coldcoder]

Mun, you knew what I was when you picked me up. If you want to play me, you play me properly.

This may work out, as long as I get to delete some of those irritating programs you've told me about. And Clu. I have something interesting planned for him.

As for Rinzler . . .

[sysadmin]

Do you now.

[coldcoder]

Clu. Why am I not surprised.

[sysadmin]

[ A casual shrug, but he's watching carefully. ]

I don't know, man. You tell me.

[coldcoder]

Now there's an offer. Where shall I start?

Ah, yes. How about gets involved in business that doesn't concern him.

...

[heyalanhey]

[well, if this isn't a beautifully wide-open unencrypted communication.

brb, caching it and running a broad-spectrum search on all those keywords.

for reference, you know.

always nice to know what the opposition is up to.]

[coldcoder]

[Do go ahead. Your little group is very amusing - and so useful to blame things on.]

[heyalanhey]

[ikr, innit though?~ Flynn groupies make the best scapegoats. too bad the gradual toppling of the organization's mission statement into the morass of its idol's more, ah, esoteric concepts, via carefully timed and lovingly emphasized snippets of his actual writings, will eventually drive away all but the most deeply crazed fans and conspiracy theorists and leave his name an object of ridicule which ENCOM and history will hastily contrive to forget.

'cos that's what you want, right?<3

and that'll make it all the sweeter when it's time to cut loose and you're left holding the bag. there are reasons no one knows who ZackAttack is, after all.]

[coldcoder]

[My dear short-sighted Roy, if you don't think Alan has proof and yet more proof backed up, and Plans A-Z laid out, then you've missed all the actual important things. As opposed to what he lets you know.]

[the_gamesmaster]

Hey, Alan. What's up, man?

[coldcoder]

[See Alan give you a long stare. Too young to be Flynn; too cheerful (and whole) to be Clu. Interesting.]

Can I help you?

[the_gamesmaster]

[Was this a crack at humour?]

Help me? No, I just want to say hi to my friend.

[coldcoder]

[Your friend? Who the hell are you?]

I'm sorry, I think there's some confusion here. You do look like Flynn, but I can assure you he's much older. Are you a relative of his, perhaps?

[program_yori]

Give your mun a chace. I'm sure they'll come around once you've explained a few things.

[coldcoder]

Yori. I thought you were busy?

[If Yori's here, she's either finished the task that Lora set her to, or she's slacking.]

Did you report to Lora on your progress?

[program_yori]

Yes, I've completed the take that Lora sent me.

[Alan?]

I'm just finished the subroutines of her last request.

[coldcoder]

Then good work, Yori. You can go on standby now until Lora, Flynn or I call on you again.

[If your job is done and you've reported to Alan and Lora, then you may go. Even have fun, if you like.]

[clu2_perfection]

Tron. [Wasn't it?]

[coldcoder]

What about him?

[clu2_perfection]

He is you, right? [Man, he looked old.]

I thought Tron was younger and not grey haired.

[coldcoder]

No, Clu. I'm not Tron, as you well know, considering that you stole him from me.

[siren_gem]

So the overall thinking of the Users is revealed. If you find us irritating we simply get deleted then? Clu was right about you.

You know of Rinzler then?

[coldcoder]

It's the way of the system. Useful programs are kept; recalcitrant or outdated ones are removed.

Of course I know of Rinzler. I wrote him, before Clu stole him from me.

[siren_gem]

That may be the way of the system but you make it sound that we can be deleted just because we have not met your standards rather than trying to upgrade and improve the current program without the need of derezzing them.

Really? I have heard that before hand you had wrote him before as Tron? I must admit Rinzler is a very.. adequate program for the system.

I'm just going to put myself in the Time Out corner for this right now.

[dadpromised]

Alan? What are you going to do with Clu? I thought he was Dad's program.

Welcome! Maximum manipulator pose on.

[coldcoder]

Sam? Hey kiddo, how are you?

Don't worry, I'm just going to explain to Clu that what he's doing isn't helping the Grid. And maybe when he's understood things a bit better and it's safe, I can bring you onto the Grid. Would you like that?
