Thank you, user.

Is a full report on world change needed?

[/filter]

Happy to be back.  Do not like changes.  Zorua needs me.

[is0latedthinker]

Of course. Glad I could offer some explanation.

Alan-1

[foughtfortheusers]

Was useful. Having someone familiar in cabin helped.

Rinzler

[is0latedthinker]

Good. I'm always here to answer your questions.

Alan-1

[foughtfortheusers]

In spite of what I am?

Rinzler

[is0latedthinker]

You're my program. [Regardless of CLU's edits.]

Alan-1

[foughtfortheusers]

Am Clus's now.

Rinzler

[is0latedthinker]

[Yeah, well...]

Some part of you will always be him. [And that 'him' isn't referring to CLU.]

Rinzler, to end

[perfectisnteasy]

No, I -- I'm all set on that, Rinzler.

[a sigh. being human was NOT his favorite thing in the world - he spent most of it hiding out in his cabin and trying not to let on how freaked out by it he was]

Thanks, though. Feel like givin' me a status update on everything else? I think we might need to talk.

Clu

[foughtfortheusers]

Understood, master.

Everything else?

Rinzler

[perfectisnteasy]

Yeah. The AIs. [don't tell him you skimped on that again] But I might have a new mission for you, anyway. ... Game's changing.

Clu

[foughtfortheusers]

It is?

I don't understand, master...

Rinzler

[perfectisnteasy]

I've been talking to Flynn a lot. About my directive, about what it means in a place like this. In a system where there's no programming to refine, no access to code. Not to mention that while you were all ... fuzzy ... I got sucked into some subsystem of this place where everything was backwards and twisted around. Like it was half-made, still under construction. It ... it made for some interesting perspective, I'll tell you that much.

Clu

[foughtfortheusers]

Understood. Is a strange system. Been here long enough to know. [Rumbling quietly]

What now, Master?

Rinzler

[perfectisnteasy]

M'not sure yet. But I know perfection exists, here. It's just ... weird, because it only stays put for a moment. Then it goes away, and the parameters reset. I can find it again, but it's not about to stick around.

I'm gonna be busy. Real busy.


[there's a long pause, because this is heavy stuff, and he's still not quite even sure what to make of it] And ... the Users ... they're more like programs, here. A lot more than I thought.

Clu

[foughtfortheusers]

Am here to serve you, master. Tell me how.

[There's a rumble.] Starting to learn that.

Rinzler

[perfectisnteasy]

That's the problem. With perfection being such a shifting state, it's a little hard to chase. I'm gonna need as much information on the history of this place as we can get. Not just the journals...

And I'm gonna need to know who the potential threats are around here.

Clu

[foughtfortheusers]

Understood, master. Will do my best.

[amiable]

[ She's spoken to Rinzler in the past, but she's always been wary after Quorra warned her about him...

But did he just say Zorua? ]

The Pokemon?

[foughtfortheusers]

Yes.

[amiable]

I didn't realize that many Pokemon came back with us...

[foughtfortheusers]

Mine did.

[amiable]

Ah... does it make you happy?

[foughtfortheusers]

Friend.

[amiable]

Zorua's a friend?

[foughtfortheusers]

Yes. A loyal one.
