So, how much of this is true?

[Gibson really, really doesn't think he can handle actually talking right now, so he'll be sticking to text for a while.]

[He'd known this was coming.]

The facts are correct. The presentation is self-serving.

[text // 100% encrypted] he's not a security program, okay. you're lucky he got it to 90%. theshirtlessiso February 8 2011, 19:25:45 UTC

Believe it or not, I wasn't really paying attention to the presentation.

Why didn't anyone mention this to me before now?

[text // 100% encrypted] theuserabides February 8 2011, 19:27:14 UTC

I can't speak for Anon, but I thought you'd already been shocked enough for one day.

[Also he was distracted by your shiny, shiny code.]

[He knew he shouldn't have handed over his disc so quickly. :|]

Honestly, after you'd already told me that I got infected and tried to kill my friend - who then had to kill me - it's not like more bad news would have made things any worse.

[To be fair, Anon told him that part and Flynn showed up later.]

I'm sorry, Gibson.

I'm not even going to get into the whole "abandoning the Grid" thing right now, because that is so stupid.

Did you think I wanted to hear about CLU "purging" the ISOs from the Grid from someone else?

[He's not going to defend himself. At all. Have fun with that, Gibson.]

It should have occurred to me that someone else would tell you and they might not be gentle about it. I'm sorry.

[text // 100% encrypted] theshirtlessiso February 8 2011, 20:02:44 UTC

[Way to make Gibson feel vaguely guilty about being angry, Flynn. He's pretty sure the Flynn he knew would have argued back.]

I think that goes a little beyond just not-gentle.

Anything else you forgot to tell me, or was the genocide the only thing you skipped over? [That isn't fair, and Gibson knows it, but he can't quite help himself.]

[text // 100% encrypted] theuserabides February 8 2011, 20:06:32 UTC

Tron can't help it when the Rinzler personality is dominant.

[He won't defend himself, but Tron's another story.]

One ISO survived. Anon saved her. Her name is Quorra.

[text // 100% encrypted] theshirtlessiso February 8 2011, 20:24:44 UTC

That was Tron? [brb PARADIGM SHIFT; way to keep crushing the belief that Basics are decent people too, Flynn.]

Okay, so that's one of us that isn't derezzed. It's too bad that doesn't mean much when the Sea of Simulation is poisoned.

[text // 100% encrypted] theuserabides February 8 2011, 20:30:20 UTC

Yes. Clu reprogrammed him. It didn't take entirely, because Clu's just not as good a programmer as Alan is, but the repurposed personality isn't pleasant.

I failed the ISOs terribly, I know.

[text // 100% encrypted] theshirtlessiso February 8 2011, 20:53:58 UTC

I'd noticed that part. I thought Tron was derezzed, though.

The Sea of Simulation wasn't your fault, Flynn. I'm just saying that it's a little hard to be optimistic about one ISO escaping the purge when there aren't going to be any more of us, ever.

[text // 100% encrypted] theuserabides February 8 2011, 20:59:31 UTC

So did I until that network post.

[Well, without an administrator, the Grid's probably going to spiral into chaos, so who knows what'll pop up? ...Wait, that's bad.]

It was my responsibility, though.

Both of the administrators are absent from the system. Nothing is going to go well on the Grid.

[text // 100% encrypted] theshirtlessiso February 8 2011, 21:50:56 UTC

Okay, so to summarize: CLU reprogrammed Jalen into Abraxas and used that to kick off the whole Purge thing. Not counting me, there's one ISO left alive, and after this conversation I'm not hopeful she'll stay rezzed either. He also reprogrammed Tron into Rinzler, which gives him a different personality(?) and... not much else, unless I'm reading you wrong. No one mentioned Radia, but at this point I'm just assuming she was derezzed. Both of the sysadmins are stuck on this User station with no way to get back, and it sounds like CLU basically took over the Grid after I died.

Am I missing anything, or are we going to get to have this conversation again the next time someone from the Grid shows up?

[text // 100% encrypted] theuserabides February 8 2011, 21:54:42 UTC

That's a good summary.

[text // 100% encrypted] theshirtlessiso February 8 2011, 22:08:51 UTC

And here I was, hoping I'd misunderstood at least part of that.

Great.
