[He's been hearing Rinzler's name mentioned by several of these Users. What was he up to? Part of CLU was surprised that his data hadn't reverted back to his original programming as he had thought the last time he encountered him.]

He was 1350 cycles old when he first arrived here a few weeks ago. Before he came here he had never eaten, or seen a book or trees or stars. He likes chocolate and coffee and ice cream now.
