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.

Unfortunately not.

Well, this is going to be fun.

[It's hard to tell without Gibson's voice or body language to work from whether the ISO's recovered his footing, but...]

It could be worse. You're around to complain about it, after all.

[Okay, Gibson laughed. It wasn't necessarily a happy laugh, but at least it was there.]

Sorry, Flynn. Can't get rid of me that easily.

[theuserabides]

I'm hurt, Gibson.

If I were trying to get rid of you, I'd be much more effective at it.

[theshirtlessiso]

Well, it's nice to know I haven't warranted the effort yet.

[theuserabides]

You just haven't been trying hard enough. Assert yourself, man.

I don't even get time to get acclimated to the whole "by the way, you're in the User world" thing? Come on.

[text // 100% encrypted]

[theuserabides]

Well, if you insist.

Seriously, though. If you ever have any questions, you can ask me.

[text // 100% encrypted]

[theshirtlessiso]

You do realize this means I'm going to be asking you questions all the time, right? Because I've found a database that seems to be a good place to start researching stuff, but a lot of it either needs more context than it actually gives or is just badly explained.

[Yeah, Gibson found Wikipedia. Everyone run.]

[text // 100% encrypted]

[theuserabides]

Don't sweat it, man. I'm used to it.

[Quorra never stopped asking questions, either. He kind of misses the barrage.]

[text // 100% encrypted]

[theshirtlessiso]

Okay, first question: seriously, man, what's with your hair?

[Yes, that has been bothering Gibson ever since he first saw you. Shh.]

[text // 100% encrypted]

[theuserabides]

[Flynn laughs at that, though of course Gibson can't see it.]

Users' physical forms change with age. One of the signs is hair going white.

I got lucky. Sometimes it falls out entirely.

[theshirtlessiso]

Really? Weird.

Why does it do that?

[theuserabides]

We derezz after the equivalent of about 100 cycles. As we get nearer to that limit, some of our code starts to go. The white hair is a side-effect of that.
