[Flynn is on the Grid. It's not obvious unless you know what you're looking for, but the quality of the light screams "circuits," and he's sitting with his back to a window through which the distant semimetallic cliffs are just visible.]Some of you have mentioned that you wouldn't mind trying out the Grid Games under less. Compulsory circumstances

Yes.

[puppetfetishist]

Hells yes.

[puppetfetishist]

Hells fucking yes.

Shit, can I get that portal gun back for this? I want that portal gun back for this.

[theuserabides]

[Chuckle.]

I could look into implementing Portal functionality, I suppose.

I remember the Grid last time.

What level of security have you developed this time?

[theuserabides]

Last time wasn't strictly the Grid, just a very good imitation. Compared to the Grid I wrote on my world, I have about a thousand years more programming experience. [And sense.]

[eighttotwelve]

Then I suspect it'll be a little more. Peaceful.

So noted.

[theuserabides]

The hand at the controls does make a difference.

[Blink blink. Dad? Wait dad is that you? You look more like the Dad he remembers :|a Ie, older. But you can't be dad. Dad is right in this house.

CONFUSING.]

That looks awesome. Is that... real VR? Also what kinds of games do you have?

[theuserabides]

[They are basically the same person so CLOSE ENOUGH.]

Real VR? That's getting...kinda philosophical. If you're on the Grid, it's real to you.

Right now I've got light cycles and disc wars running.

[mybrotherfought]

[Light... cycles... light cycles... MOTOR CYCLES]

Oh man, sign me up.

[theuserabides]

Heh. Who am I signing up?

Why would there even be a lethal setting? And why haven't I seen this yet?

[theuserabides]

The physics are very realistic. You run a motorcycle into a wall, you're gonna die, Grid or not. I coded a cap on how much energy anything can impart, but it's not an inherent limitation of the system. [Shrug.]

I dunno, Alan, why haven't you seen this yet? [Too busy with your xenomorph, perhaps?]

I supposed watching your son free fall off the top of ENCOM tower doesn't give me much room to complain about safety. I'll trust you if you say it's safe.

My alien had kittens. ...And I've been trying to replace our microwave.

[He'd be horrified-slash-proud, but Sam already mentioned that part.]

Are we gonna have a bunch of baby raptors underfoot?

[Should he lay in a supply of cat condos and jingly balls?]

[fuckinghubble]

No shit?

Now this is going to be one of those things I have to see for myself.

[BECAUSE SERIOUSLY. THIS IS THE KIND OF THING HE DREAMED ABOUT EVER SINCE HE WAS A KID. JESUS.]

[THE GRID. A DIGITAL FRONTIER.]

That's what the invite's for.

[THESE ARE THE VOYAGES OF THE STARSHIP-- oh, wrong pop culture reference, sorry.]

Well, with an offer like that, I just can't refuse.

[He is so going to be all over that shit. Like a child at a candy store.]

[Try not to break anything.]

I've always been a showoff.
