Huh, far out. That's not what I expected to happen at all.

Just over a thousand grid-cycles would make this...what, 2010, 2011?

	2011, September. You're... really you, right? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Kiddo, you made it! And yes, it's me, not Clu. Can't you tell from all the face-fur? Where's Sam? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I meant you instead of someone who just looks like you, not him either, I think I'd know if it were him. You're not supposed to be here, I'm not supposed to be here, this isn't the same outside world you think it is and Sam's still there, back home, where he's supposed to be, which isn't here and I'm doing a terrible job of explaining, I know I am.

Where are you? It might be easier to explain in person.

	Easy, my girl. Whatever's going on, I promise, this really is me. I'm in a monastary just outside of Rochester, in New York, at [address]. Have you gotten the knack of transport in this world? I'm not sure what resources I have available yet for travel, if any. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Transport here is easy. Blink of an eye. I'll be there before you're done reading [this website], because it can explain the basic information and I can fill in the rest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Dude, that's my line. I thought you were rezzed for sure. It's good to see you, buddy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fight_for_users 2011-09-18 01:49 am UTC (link)
	No not completely....I don't feel comfortable talking about it here. Perhaps in person. Where are you? I have only been here a...few weeks (not used to calculating in User time). Quorra found me in the city of London in the UK Sector. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zendude 2011-09-18 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	Anytime, my old friend. I'd be glad to meet with you, once I've gotten my bearings. Unless I'm very much mistaken this is upper New York state, I'd recognize that foliage anywhere. You say Quorra found you? Clever girl. Are you still in old London town? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yes. She happened to be located not far from where I appeared. She met me and took me back to a place called a Book Store. She works there.

I am working as a tech for Stark Industries...it is a rather ah...new experience that still confuses me a whole lot. I never could calculate what the User world was like. It is...shockingly chaotic.

The location is [here] in a new Sector. I think it is called 'Malibu'..though I have visited Quorra back in London sector. I look forward to seeing you Flynn. There's much updating to do and I am still rather new to this 'reality' system.

A bookstore? Good place for her. Not a bad place for you either. Or anyone.

Is that Stark as in Tony Stark? I've just met him. He a decent employer? And yes, chaos is about the sum of it. Life is chaos, they go hand in hand. I was trying to change that when I created the Grid, and it was a terrible mistake. You can only impose order on chaos to a certain extent. Sorry buddy, you'll just have to get used to it. It's part of you now as well, I suspect.

I'll come by and see you as soon as I've caught up with Quorra. I need to talk to her about my boy, I suspect. Or she needs to talk to me. Malibu, wow. Have you tried surfing?

A curious thing, books. I have a couple of them that Quorra gave me. It is amazing to me that Users would have something so outdated to store information. You can't even compress them to make them easier to transport.

Ah yes, that is him. I suppose he is - I have never really been 'employed' before. Not like this anyway. I haven't met him personally yet, however I have worked with those he has. I am still rather new to the assignment.

This chaos...is part of me now? That is as difficult to calculate as trying to function in this system. I have learned so much with Quorra's help...but it's still rather daunting for me I must admit.

Ah....what is surfing?

They can be compressed, actually. Either by making the text format, or if you put the book in a digital format it'd be easier still. But there's no substitute for the smell of paper and the feel of it between your fingers. There's more to the world than efficiency, my friend. It's a difficult concept, I realize.

Sure is, man. Don't worry, you'll learn. That's part of life, too.

Surfing's a bit like a grid game, but without being rezzed if you make a mistake.

	Yeah. We got another year until the Apocalypse, so no sweat there. I take it you're new in town? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Not going to happen. The math's wrong, for one thing. Yes and no. I used to live here, but it was a long time ago. Kevin Flynn. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, come on. Ancient Mayans who ran out of room on a stone clearly knew that something major would happen on a precise date that a calender they never encountered. Tony Stark. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Of course they did, man. The answers are all on another rock that we just never happened to find. Pleasure to meet you, Mr. Stark. What do you do here? You're another one of us displaced types, I take it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	thanksjarvis 2011-09-19 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	Likely wouldn't do the math right either if they did, like you said. Robotics and engineering. Used to be munitions, but partially out of that game. Been here for a few months maybe? Time flies when you're having fun. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	zendude 2011-09-20 06:33 pm UTC (link)
	Anyone who thinks they can predict the end of the world with mathematics is misunderstanding the nature of both mathematics and the world. Robotics and engineering, huh? I'd like to see what you're working on sometime. I was a programmer and software designer, long ago. It's been a while. (Reply to this) (Parent)
