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.

The only problem with this theory is that the last time anyone worked on the hardware was around 1987 or so- I doubt there's even a modem attached to that thing.
(I am now imagining Clu trying to invade through dialup. It takes like a week to materialize his transport ship, he takes one look at 4chan, goes 8I and turns right back around)

You. This. Just. Augh. Too beautiful for words, and "In the end, what he had or hadn’t said turned out not to matter," is a hell of a way to end a new section; I'll just be sitting here F5ing like a madman.

Sorry, I'm having trouble formulating words to this amazingasm piece of amazing, but please accept my incoherent praise. And also, I'd like to give you my firstborn.
Still can't get over how great this is. Seriously, it's fantastic and I love it. <3 I adore brave!Jarvis to death.
As for the "Clu invades the internet" thing, that was about what I figured, too. I kinda envision the entire army decamping to the nearest Starbucks so Clu can conquer borrow someone's laptop.

<333 THIS >333 this is just such a perfect fill so far for the perfect prompt. You're really doing a good job keeping everyone in chracter! I esp. like the conflict between Rinzler and Jarvis (because that's pretty much canon).
The line that made my exhausting day was when Rinzler uttered "Stop...talking" haha! I can just imagine the former warrior program telling this to Jarvis in a death growl.
Kudos to Jarvis for holding out under the torture...He did hold out, right? ;)
I can imagine CLU laughing at such a scene...it's just in his twisted personality and sense of humor to do so.
Amazing! Keep up the awesome work *files this under favorites*

:D So much awesomeness.
Your version of Rinzler's perspective on things is truly excellent, especially in contrast to Clu. Much less focus on the grossness of biology and more on simple efficiency--is this form functional, etc. The way you express his continued combat crazy is :D-inducing. Figures he'd be one of the only programs who's still lethal when all their usual combat means have failed. And even imprisoned, drugged up like crazy... heh.
Can't help wondering what would happen if Tron came out. Fighting for the users seems a bit less heroic under these circumstances. And he'd hate Clu, but if the prompt plays out as I'd guess, the users will be doing the same sort of brainwashing Tron would be pissed at Clu about. Eh. I suppose we'll see--or not, as the case may be. :D Either way, can't complain at all about what you're writing now, or how you're choosing to write it.
Also, that thing you said, about the unedited part and all those lotsa words? I am joyous. This prompt had so much potential, and you are living up to every

As to the Rinzler/Tron thing... Let's just say I've got plans. :v
