[Tron smiles a little as the colors more closely match his own.] That will come in handy, being able to change your color like that.
Why? Because if you don't have a disc, you become a stray... lose your memories, yourself. It's very easy to take advantage of a program without a disc, so strays are more rounded up for their own protection.
At least they used to be. Clu's purpose is more to redesign them into his own army.
[Nihlus returns the smile, dark face lit up by the blue glow.] Remind me to thank Yewll again for this lovely gadget.
[As Tron explains what strays are though, he sobers. If Rinzler had been sentenced to solitary confinement, the length of time he'd be spending without his disc...

Clu is the system admin program who decided that he could run the system better than his own User. He tried to kill him and took over... he appropriates programs for his own army, "rectifies" them, forces them to follow his will.
[He's going to just leave out the part where Clu did the same to him... and who Rinzler really is.]
He's dangerous and powerful, and not someone to go up against without careful planning.

Other than editing programs, what powers do system admins have?
