[Video] So I've been thinking...

[tronja307020]

[Tron's main concern is to protect people. So you would think he would have jumped up the instant he heard the distress signals sent over the communications systems the previous solar-cycle, right?

The only problem is, he's beginning to feel like he's been through this exact same event before. In another world. He has an increasingly sick feeling

Have you had any clues so far as to who that might be? I remember the whole thing with blaming the ISOs. [all too well]

Good thinking. If there's any sign of something else out of the ordinary happening... at other than the locations of the distress calls, let me know? I'm going to check things out there. If there's help needed... the more people help, the better. {quieter] Unlike programs who derez, Users can take a lot of damage that is recoverable from. Or partially so. Even children.

[He shakes his head.] I can only make guesses at this point. I'm sorry to say I spent far too long idling by when I should have been making myself more well acquainted with this world and it's...everything. Possibly the Revan entity that drew us all here? Or that Emer guy who actually broadcasts the news reports. [Wait, was that a joke? It was! Partly.]

[He nods this time.] I will. But you be careful. It makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up knowing you're going out there on your own. [Especially now that things are looking more and more Clutastic.] If things get rough out there, I'll come as soon as I can, but it may take some time for me to reach you.

[Still, he gives what he hopes is a bit of a reassuring, wry smirk.] I do know a little about the things a User body can go through and survive. But let's not take our chances.

[faint, very faint flicker of a smile] Don't berate yourself, man. Knowledge sometimes comes from unexpected directions. Perhaps what you learned about the world as a whole will give you an insight that nobody looking at things in specifics will find.

[nods] I will be. Stay safe yourself, old friend.

[He tries to return the same half-smile, though it almost looks more like a twitch in the muscle in his cheek then an actual smile.] I'm just worried the things I don't know will be the most important pieces of the puzzle. We'll see. [He either doesn't seem to realize or doesn't seem to care that he's not supposed to be the one to solve it all by himself.

He nods again, and this time the smile is stronger.] I will. Just...keep your datapad on. Even if it's in your pocket or something, at least if it's on, I'll know the instant something happens, and you won't have to fight to activate it if things get rough.

And...hey, just remember. If I'm not allowed to derezz, neither are you. Got that?

[Typical Tron, mother-henning the User like he has no sense. Maybe he's just not used to him having it after his cycles in the Outlands.]

What kind of traps happened on your own world to make you think that?

[He's quiet for a moment as he considers the question before reaching up and activating the privacy on the video feed. He's still dealing with the emotional baggage and doesn't really like the thought of every Revanite in this world hearing about these things.]

Back home, there were three people that ran the System, my world. Kevin Flynn - our User, one of the beings who created systems and Programs like me - Clu - the Program Flynn created to help "create the perfect system" while he was in his own world - and me. I'm a Security Program, so it was my job to keep everyone safe

[Man that was not what Simon expected when he asked that question. Give him a minute or two to take that all in. Maybe several.]

Well ... this can't be that similar. We're not as closed in as that, are we?

[tronja307020]

[He shrugs gently, looking unsure even with the certainty of his suspicions.]

I don't know. I pray to the Users it's not. Granted, there are more people in a place of power in this world, but...there seem to be a great many of them that want us out of the way. At least back home, it was only Clu. [He was bad enough.]

[OOC: HAH...Tron's going to wish he was wrong really, really soon. I get the feeling Simon will, too. XD;;; *Totally stalking everyone's threads in the Event Log*]

[popaheatsink]

You're an investigator? Or were, back home?

[tronja307020]

I was in charge of everything related to Security in my World. Investigation didn't come up much in the beginning, we started off peaceful. But when it did, it was up to me.
