I have not been hiding my identity for some time here. I thought it best at first, but now I tell anyone who knows me.

[A pause as he considers.] I'm certain we're not the only artificial beings on board, either. I've seen the large metal ones around, though I have not spoken to them.

Are you suggesting I... make some sort of announcement to everyone as to the nature of programs? Rinzler and I are the only two aboard, as far as I know.

[imaginary_wife]

Artificial in a way. Even they're unique. They have constructed bodies, but their life is uniquely sourced from something called a "spark". Somewhere between their true form and a soul.

I saw how much pain you went through when we were repairing you. Would it have been the same for Rinzler?

[Tron makes a mental note to investigate further on these larger metal beings. Later... they're not the concern right now.]

If he hadn't been shut down during repairs or recoding, yes.

It's... not common to stay running during major code edits. Normally, I would have shut down. But with the way my code has been altered... [He trails off, uncertain. He's still not sure how he was able to revert back to his original programming, and the fear that he will lose himself is always present.]

I needed to be certain that I would remain... myself.

[imaginary_wife]

You still need to protect yourself. And so does he...

[She says it more as an understanding of what she's being told rather than anything else.]

[fight4theusers]

Yes, we do. And I think that's what he's been trying to do, though he won't say it's only in defense.

[imaginary_wife]

What if I could help him?

Alan wasn't the only one who could get in at his code. Not to change him, but let him show the truth.

He has no reason to trust me, but maybe he'd understand it from you.

[fight4theusers]

[Tron is already shaking his head.]

I tried to convince him of that already. Told him that you and Sam were able to access his disc, even through Clu's blocks... he still refused, even to prove his side.

He doesn't want his disc manipulated in any way.
