[The video feed shows a man looking at his surroundings fairly perplexed. He’s wearing a white helmet with light blue circuits on it and matching armor. He’s holding the portal, but not paying much attention to it.]

This is certainly not the grid. I shouldn’t be surprised. I don’t know what was expecting to happen. [A soft meow is heard and he

[ While those lines aren't exactly like hers, they are close enough to grab her attention. Quorra leans forward to the screen, trying to get a better look at him. ]

You know Flynn? And Tron?!

[Ram looks away from the cat, trying to find the origin of the voice. Finally, he picks up his PORTAL and smiles at the girl.]

Hello. Yes I do. Do you know where they are?

[isomorphology]

They're not here. You're not on the Grid anymore.

[r_a_m_1982]

I noticed that this whole system is different. Do you know how this place is called? Or where are Tron and Flynn?

[isomorphology]

It's a city called Promenade. It's not like a system--it's more like the World of the Users.

And... the last time I saw Flynn and Tron? They...

[His eyebrows go up at that last sentence.]World of...but how is that even possible? I..I know I was derezzed, I shouldn't be here.

[He gets distracted by the cat meowing for attention, Ram caressed it's back and then looks at Quorra again.] They...? They aren't death too, right? Flynn was a user, we couldn't possibly be gone.

[ Quorra bites on her lip. ]

It's a dream world. We wake up here when we're sleeping in our worlds... or, maybe you really live here now if you've been derezzed. I'm sorry.

[ Then she pauses. ] Are you from the old system? The one where Flynn first met Tron?

[You are doing nothing to ease his worries, Quorra.]

I guess....that being here is better than nothing. [He gives her a weak smile.]

Yes. We escaped the grid games together and Tron was going to take down the MCP. We needed to arrive to the I/O tower but Flynn and me got hit by a recognizer.

[isomorphology]

Oh. I'm... [ She frowns. ] I'm from many many cycles after that. In an entire new Grid that Flynn created and brought Tron to.

The last time I saw Tron, he was falling into the Sea of Simulation, and Flynn... Flynn didn't make it after helping me and his son Sam out of the Grid. I'm sorry.

A new Grid sounds like a good thing, nothing could be worse than the one we lived in. [Right? Oh, if only Ram knew.]

They...[Ram frowns, processing the new information. It's a bit overwhelming.]But perhaps Tron...and Flynn how..wait..his son?

[isomorphology]

It was hard. I don't know if it was worse than yours.

I like to think that Tron survived. He was always really good at it. [ She nods. ] After he met you and Tron and returned to the World of the Users, he had a son named Sam. He's here - in the city.

[r_a_m_1982]

I thought that things were supposed to change for the better. I'm sorry that you had to live in a tough system too.

That's true, in battle he was often the last man standing. Flynn never mentioned a son, but is not like we had much time to talk about that sort of things. I would like to meet him.

I'm Ram, I should have told you before.

[isomorphology]

It's alright.

He had Sam after he left your System.

I'm Quorra.

Re: video;

[r_a_m_1982]

At least he could leave that time. I knew he was special.

It's nice to meet you, Quorra. It's good to meet more people from my world.

All it's so strange here. What's that huge ball of silver light in the sky? It's beautiful. And so are the other small ones around it.

video;

[isomorphology]

Flynn was a User. Of course he's special.

I've been the only one from a Grid here for so long. I shouldn't be happy that you're here, because you're stuck, but I am.

It's the moon! And those are stars.

video;

[r_a_m_1982]

Sam is one too, I take it?

It's always good to see others that understand us, so don't worry. It's ok.

The moon. [He looks up again, mesmerized. It's so pretty.]This is a really special place, isn't it? Anything I should know about it?
