zero: 00000 [video]

[yorisearching]

[All the camera shows is Yori's face and a fall of loosely curled blonde hair; she looks brisk and businesslike.]

If this is Flynn's new system, he has got to work on his coding. Does anyone know where I can find an I/O tower? Or-- [She falters, just a fraction.]

Tron? Are you here?

[A hopeful smile, flickering back to friendly neutrality

[Slipstream replies via video, so her metallic face plating is visible, as well as her back-lit red optics...and generally puzzled expression.]

An I/O tower? In a system? What are you, some kind of program? [She trills laughter. Granted she's encountered things like kooky personality cores and a platform full of Geth, in the past, but usually they knew they were interfacing with the world.]

I've been a program in a system since I was first compiled, yes.

[Yori examines the face curiously. This may possibly be an example of a "mech," and the first Tron to contact her listed such beings on both enemy and ally lists.]

As I understood the physical world, it shouldn't be possible for me to exist outside digital space. Not like this. [It would take tremendous redesign to make a program compatible with Flynn's User world, if it were even possible, and Yori would have expected to be doing any such design work. Not finding herself without warning on the receiving end.]

[So much curious peering.]

Did they fit you with an android body- gynoid body? Or, are you holomatter? 'Cause you running around outside a system would be like- you know, bits running around outside you.

[yorisearching]

[Yori smiles slightly, in spite of everything.] We actually have some very independent bits, back home.

But I do understand what you're saying. Obviously I didn't notice any change.

What is holomatter? Or a...gynoid?

My name is Yori, by the way, and it's nice to meet you.
