One thing ive learned in life...bad ideas make good stories.

[Ram's not exactly looking like his usual self. It's not just the suit color and circuits what seems the be all wrong, but his general demeanor.]

If you're expecting any sort of gratitude for this you will die waiting, user.

This is just something else to add to your long list of bad decisions.

No, because nobody's perfect. [impatient? yeah. 'they aren't good enough to be worth it' is the rationale Clu used to cull the Grid of programs who didn't meet his standards, so he's a little sensitive toward it.

doesn't bridle at the belligerent stance, but folds his arms and meets the look with a confidence he gained from surviving 1000 cycles of awfulness.]

Worth coming back and finding out Flynn kept his promise? Sure was.

[nomoremrniceguy]

And they expected us to be? [Ram cares little about others program, he doesn't have the same point of views as Clu. But he has his own deep grudges and sure he's not nice either.]

[He let's out a chuckle and shake his head. You, poor thing, you clearly don't understand.]

What good did his promise do to us? We still died, he didn't really care back there. He couldn't, he didn't even understand what was happening. And the fact that we both exist proves that we arne't anything special to Users. They can write more program. Copies and copies...They don't mourn us then we are gone.

[namesram]

No. They expect us to be pretty good, though. I don't think we disappointed anyone in that respect. [rakish grin. 200 microcycles surviving Games he wasn't designed for gives him good reason to be cocky about his own prowess.]

No, he helped Tron; that was the whole point! And he was talking about getting us to someone who could fix us up before we even knew he was a User. He had no idea it was too late. You saw his face when he started figuring out that something was really wrong. Did that look like not caring? And it's not like we told him what was wrong. How was he supposed to know? [looks down at his hand. maybe if he'd realized sooner that Flynn was a User, he could have helped him acclimate and use his powers better.

looks back up at the other Ram, stubborn confusion on his face.] Where do you get that idea? He even nicknamed our own User after us! And if they copy us, doesn't it mean that they like us and don't want us gone?

[nomoremrniceguy]

[Remember that this ram went trough the same 200 microcycles of fights, and he really doens't feel like smirking sincerely right now. ] They had no respect for us, I care little now if we disappointed them.

[Or so he says. Deep, deep, deeeeeeep down all that anger probably he still care. A bit. Did I mention deep?]Ah...Tron. [Don't get him started on Tron, oh god. He abandoned them.] Talk is just talk. Flynn had the powers to activate the recognizer but he couldn't fix us? It makes no sense.

Did he? [Ram tilts his head.]...Was our user so unimportant to him that he had to gave him our name? Who was replacing who then? None of them tried to rerrez us, they were happy with the replacement. That only proves my point.

[namesram]

I thought they treated us pretty nicely till we got appropriated. We had everything we needed. Sure, they were annoying sometimes, but isn't everyone?

Pfft. You saw him, right? He had no idea what he was doing. [a small grin. watching Flynn derp around figuring out what his powers were would've been pretty funny, if he hadn't been busy dying.] There just wasn't enough time.

Yeah, he did.... Look, that's a really unfair calculation. You didn't even know it happened till just now, and you're making up conclusions without any of the relevant data? What kind of sloppy assessment is that? [having data before making projections is their JOB, yo!] ...Nobody said they didn't try. Nobody said rerezzing was even possible. Maybe pulling us up from backup is the best they could do, and you know what? I hear they can't do that with each other. So we're pretty lucky we're programs, huh?

[nomoremrniceguy]

They didn't care about our fate. Knowing now that they can just create more programs, that they really didn't knew about out world, just makes the MCP and Sark's words right.

[From his new perspective, all those memories become more annoying than amusing. He can’t help it and he doesn’t want to.] He could have tried no matter what. I know now that it didn’t took him much to figure out how to fix things but that doesn't make the fact that he just stood there like a clueless idiot watching us die any less true.

[Calculating risk is also their job, and Ram thinks that they didn't do a very good job when they were running away from the light-tanks either. Sometimes things just go wrong and perhaps, it's time to get a new designation]

More like it sucks to be them. Let me ask you a question, why do you think you was brought back?
