Clu's plans go horribly right

Clu's plan succeeds, and he manages to bring his army into the real world, where he gets a nasty shock. None of the fighting methods his soldiers know is especially useful in the user world. Throwing a disk does nothing except maybe annoy the person it bounces off of, he can't manipulate the environment in any way, and guns? What's a gun?
So they get rolled by the army. Clu gets captured, they find out about the grid, and hey, there's nothing the army likes better than free, programmable soldiers. A few years down the line, what do you get? An entire underclass of programs to serve your every whim, probably with some kind of three-laws-of-robotics coding slipped in. Though that doesn't mean they can't try to get around it... And trust me, that whole "don't kill your masters" thing? Clu really, really wants to get around it.

Absolutely brilliant! But more suited for a long, lenghty fic exchange - it deserves sth way over 10,000 words. Were English my first language, I'd gladly write it. As it's not, I can only applaud your wonderful prompt.

Filling this, god help me. What was that someone was saying about an enormous wordcount? It's already 5000 words and barely into the meat of the story. Derp :B

Dude, this is fan-freakin'-tastic so far. Clu's inner voice has just the right mix of pride, snark, and naivete about the User world -- it's perfect, totally perfect. I'm gushing over it. Look: gush gush gush gush gush.

FUCK YES! Totally awesome! Am waiting with baited breath for more...
MOAR I say!
I'm so glad you mentioned the size of the arcade as being an issue to the success of bringing the armada over. That and the fact that the laser would only be able to materialize one at a time and that would take forever. This plot issue is something that bugs the hell out of me. So not logical ب_ب
