“Clu’s only been on the ship for a few months. Rinzler’s been here since even before I arrived. He’s had some time to adapt to running independently,” Alan says, smiling slightly. Worried as he is, he’s proud of how far Rinzler has been able to develop past his restrictive coding; the fact that he’s been able to keep his disk away from Clu for this long is proof of just how much autonomy he’s gained.
His smile disappears at Yori’s next question. “As far as I know, Tron’s from 2010 as well. After Clu rewrote him into Rinzler.” He can still remember Clu’s voice over the network, quiet and too earnest. ‘I hurt Tron. I shattered him.’
“He was Rinzler, but… somehow, he reverted. I don't know much more than that myself.” Alan still remembers his conversation with Bel, their account of Rinzler's fight with Tron and how, for a moment, both of his programs had circuitry lit red. "It... seems to be an uncomfortable subject. For both of them."
