Wow, this is even better than the first two chapters. I especially love Alan's voice, here -- his mix of accustomed authority and sharp annoyance is a perfect match for a Tron-'82 Alan grown old.

Tron's section is just heartrending; his shame and terror surrounding the removal of the helmet is so visceral and real, it even convinced a Clu-and-Rinzler partisan like me! Poor guy. He clearly needs infinite hugs!

Lastly, "Sam, go!" was a killer, killer line. I shivered a little bit. :3

Thank you! Considering Alan's professional role in the company and personal role in Sam's life, I'd imagine he's had to learn to focus on what's important and not beat around the bush. :)

Poor Tron. ;.; Is it bad that I loved writing his part so much? (Seriously - I sat on Alan's POV for a week, and then literally dashed out Tron's in a half hour last night.)

Ahaha, it's funny, I didn't figure that it would be so noticeable, but you're like the 3rd person to catch that line. I love YouTube...if people didn't post clips online I would never have been able to incorporate little tidbits like that. Thank you, fans!

oh, yeah, one more thing: might I suggest that you link to all of the previous chapters at the top of every new one? Also, putting the body of each chapter behind an lj cut would help make things neater.

I'd like to rec this story like a reccing ball (heh!), but it's harder to do so when there's no central post to link to! :)

Ah-hah! Thank you so much for the link to the FAQ...I was aware of people referring to this mysterious "lj cut" thing, but wasn't quite sure what that was about. Edited my entries - hopefully I got it right, and yes, that does help clean up the clutter.

Haha, thank you!

Maybe you can also provide a hint as to how to quote your comments in my replies to you? :( I just hit the reply link, but it doesn't quote your comment, and unless I have to manually add some [i] or tags, I don't see any other way of italicizing stuff in the box editor here...

Yep, you got it right. :) No problem -- the way things are done on LJ is kinda weird if you're not used to it!

I always just cut-n-paste and then manually add tags, but I believe you can also do it by highlighting the part you want to quote in the original, and then clicking the "Quote" button on the upper right hand side of the reply box.

*tests*
Hm, I don't see a "quote" button. But if the tags work, that's good enough for me! Thank you!

(I also wish the comment function has a preview/edit function. Sigh.)
