It’s OC ramble hours again. Today, in honor of TRON Identity (which I need to get back to playing) I’m going to be talking about my three most developed OCs from the franchise: Echo, Drive and Eden. I have a good amount more but the others aren’t as fleshed out as this trio, who were used in an RP group back in 2011. Instead of delving into RP events I’m just going to be talking about their overall histories and personalities if they were to be used as fic based characters.
Echo was originally a program in the wider ENCOM system. She went through the tyranny of the MCP after he infiltrated and annexed the server she was on. Dark times indeed, and she celebrated his defeat with a vicious sort of glee. Her function as a high level repair program saw her copied over to Flynn’s Grid in the earlier days of its existence (Flynn had no personal connection to her and vice versa, she was just one fewer Utility program he had to code.) There she served as a recompiler/medic until Clu seized power. Echo was among those programs forcibly brought into line with the new regime, where she served as a “medic” in the Arena until being derezzed by a fleeing prisoner. Before being reformatted Echo was known to be a dry witted but compassionate doctor whose bark was always worse than her bite. Reformatting turned her cold and bitter and cruel. A tragic end for a program who had survived the MCP’s reign.
Drive was a program native to the Grid. He was written by Kevin Flynn, but he was not one of the Creator’s better crafted programs. If anything one could say that he was sloppily made, and they would not be wrong. Drive was written at a point where Flynn was distracted by juggling the stresses of being a new parent and running ENCOM. Flynn always meant to go back and edit Drive (and the other programs created alongside him) but, well... you know. On the surface Drive looked fine with no obvious issues. But oh, there were glaring faults lurking in his code, the worst of which was a faulty directive. Drive was created as part of a database maintenance and search utility suite and while he did the job well he had been brought online with an inability to deny search requests. If asked for information, he had to provide it, regardless of the asker’s security clearance. There were other issues attached to it (such as an incompatibility with any and all defense programming) that made him a sitting duck during Clu’s reign. After the coup, as news of his inability to refuse information demands got around, he took to butchering his own memory banks out of desperation to keep sensitive information hidden, damaging other portions of his code in the process. Somehow, he was still alive when Sam Flynn appeared on the Grid. In the happier cycles Drive was a cheerful and kind natured program with a great fondness for Bits (he had two of his own, adopted a third after its program was killed, and often fed wild Bit flocks). Post coup he became a nervous wreck, for understandable reasons.
Eden was an ISO, and one of the last to emerge from the Sea before it was poisoned. She was bubbly and curious and precocious, fascinated by the world and programs around her. She also very nearly imprinted on Tron, like a baby bird imprinting on the first thing it sees upon hatching, as he and Flynn had been visiting the shore while she and her siblings stepped onto solid land. He very awkwardly redirected the little beta’s attention back to the older ISOs (tactfully ignoring Flynn’s amusement the whole time) but Eden would always carry a fondness for the Security program and other Basics throughout her life. She never really lost her enthusiasm for “new” things, which often led her into trouble. Like the time she had to be rescued by a very exasperated Jalen after she climbed the wireframe of a building that was under construction and got stuck. Or the time Tron himself had to fish her out of a public fountain - she was in no danger but it probably was not a good idea to absorb that much liquid energy, you know? She was artistic and adventurous and painfully stubborn and overly trusting of strangers. But it was not a stranger that would cut her life short during the Purge: it was an old friend with a new name, a new directive, and a horrible rattling purr.
(All three of them got second chances at better lives in the RP group. Echo was restored to her former self after a brief stint as her reformatted self and reunited with an old friend/made new ones. Drive made friends and had his damaged code repaired (after almost derezzing because the code damage reached a critical point and started collapsing in on itself) and his directive fixed. Eden... well, Eden was much the same as she had always been, full of innocent mischief, wonder and a deep capacity for accepting those around her.)

If you were to make a Jay playlist, what songs would you include (could either be songs he likes or songs that make you think of him)
What a fun question!
Truth be told, I do have a Jay playlist. Super cringe, I know... but it makes me happy. 😊
Most of these are songs I've used in my Jay fanfic. All of them are either taken from music he used in his old Blanc Screen Cinema days or they just remind me of him. Hopelessly romantic, angst-ridden ska/punk from the early 2000's just kinda screams 'Jay' to me. And hypnotic synth music. Oh, and just everything from Talking Heads.
From Fire Walk with Jay:
Demon Dance by Julian Winding from the Neon Demon soundtrack
Derezzed by Daft Punk from the Tron Legacy soundtrack (one of Jay's favorites)
Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads
Think by Kaleida from the John Wick soundtrack
LED Spirals by Le Castle Vania from the John Wick soundtrack
From Milwaukee: A Place Both Wonderful and Strange:
The Pink Room from the Fire Walk with Me soundtrack - (Jay said he wished this was the soundtrack to his life.)
From In His Kiss:
Here in Your Bedroom by Goldfinger (This might be my #2 favorite Jay song)
From God Bless You, Joe Dante:
In Too Deep by Sum41
An Idea for a Movie by The Vandals
Lozin' Must by Millencolin
Martian Girl! by The Aquabats
From Doll Parts:
Psycho Killer by Talking Heads
From A Damn Fine Dinner:
Where is My Mind by The Pixies
And She Was by Talking Heads
From Cherry Girl:
Tequila by The Champs from The Pee Wee's Big Adventure soundtrack
The theme song to Halloween
Weird Science by Oingo Boingo
Take on Me by Reel Big Fish
Hip to be Square by Huey Lewis and the News from the American Psycho soundtrack
This Must Be The Place by Talking Heads (my all-time favorite Jay song - he once tweeted that it was one of the best songs ever made.)
Don't Move by Phantogram
If You Leave by Orchestral Movements in the Dark
From Jay's old movies:
On Her Mind by Summercamp
Bodyrock by Moby
Song for a Mixtape by The Ataris
Mr. Superlove by The Ass Ponys
Sucked Out by Superdrag
Dare to be Stupid by Weird Al
Phat Planet by Leftfield
True Mathematics by Ladytron
Scratch by Allister
Hang Up by Parasites
We’re Going to be Friends by The White Stripes
Catch the Wind by Donovan
Phew!
That was a lot! I hope you find something that you enjoy! Thanks for the amazing question!
Edit: Here’s the Spotify playlist.

Thank you for the tag @maderilien!
How may works do you have on AO3? 36
What’s your total AO3 word count? 272,153 words
How many fandoms have you written and what are they? Now, I’m only writing Star Wars. In the past, I have written Marvel Avengers, Star Trek (TOS and reboot), and even (shhh) SPN and Sherlock and other stuff over the years.
What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
Aureole (dinluke) - sweet tabloids fic where everyone in the New Republic thinks they’re together (and then they are)
Vessel (dinluke) - Jedi sex magic
Twin’s, Right? (dinluke) - Han has a story to tell Din
Follies, Forged Attachments (dinluke) - obi-wan outsider pov
The Accidental Political Ascension of Boba Fett (bobadin) - senator fett (my newest long fic and I’m so stoked it’s reached my top kudos!)
Do you respond to comments, why or why not? Yes, I respond to every single comment, even if it’s just a quick ‘thanks’! Once upon a time I was just a lurker in fandom. Once I became part of the communities, bonding on Livejournal and Dreamdwidth and helping run archiving projects and zines, I realized the foundational part of being in fandom is to Be In Fandom. “Be” is an active verb, and I really want to support everyone and leave comments and that includes responding to them on my own works. Our fandom is only as good as we make it! I’m always happy to have a conversation in comments--or just blow you a kiss as you pass by. 
What’s the fic you’ve written the angstiest ending? I don’t really write angsty endings. I will write ambiguous ones or even stuff I wouldn’t necessarily rec or actively share. 
Do you write crossovers? If so, what’ is the craziest one you’ve written? Absolutely! I have written a lot. My favorite right now Is my Tron/Mandalorian cross-over: Derezzed (bobadin).  Commissioned fanart incoming! I keep editing the story and thinking I’m gonna make it better before adding the amazing fanart in order to do the art justice, but I should just pull the trigger, right? It’s a one-shot that plunges the Mando characters straight into the Tron world. And the art is so good I should not be hoarding it to myself. 
Have you ever received hate on a fic? Yep! I offended an Obi-Wan fan with Follies, Forged Attachments (see link above if you wanna see the exchange). It’s ironic because I love Obi-Wan and he was my favorite character for many years after the Phantom Menace. I like him a lot, and I thought I left it on a hopeful note but still kept it true to canon in the OT as it actually played out. He’s so tragic. 
Do you write smut? Absolutely! I love writing humorous pwps.
Have you ever had a fic stolen? Not to my knowledge. But honestly if anyone saved any of my old fics and posted them for posterity, more power to them. 
Have you ever had a fic translated? Yes, and right now on ao3 I have two: thank you to the amazing people who translated Aureole and Twin’s, Right? into Chinese.
Have you ever co-written a fic before? Yes! And currently I’m gonna count the ongoing Tatooine Spa Verse series as cowriting because it’s a collaborative round robin and it’s been a blast! Hint hint there is more coming down the pipeline! *eyes cryo_buckey*
What is your all-time favorite ship? All time? Kirk/Spock. <3
What is a WIP that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will? One time I started a Pride and Prejudice AU that was awesome, but I lost interest and will never finish it. 
What are you writing strengths? Quippy dialogue. I like puns and humor and sass and banter. I’m also pretty good at dropping in-universe clues that the fic takes place in the fandom universe, such as changing idioms to Star Wars words, like curiosity killed the loth cat or bantha bait or other random references to Star Wars animals, places, or foods.
What are your writing weaknesses? A lot of times I either write too much purple prose OR go the opposite and just don’t make an impact. Finding the sweet spot is challenging. I also have an unbridled fondness for ‘big words’ that aren’t necessary. But fanfic is the one place I get to use them!
What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic? Love it! I love random bits of Mando’a tossed in for the Mandalorian fics. It’s both fun as heck to do and fun to read, especially if you leave enough basic context that you can figure it out without peeking at the bottom. 
What was the first fandom you wrote for? Star Wars! As a kid, I posted a wip to Fanfiction.net about Jaina and Jacen Solo time traveling to the time when Anakin was Obi-Wan’s apprentice. <3 I’ve come full circle!
What’s your favorite fic you’ve written? Aw, my opinion on this varies from time to time. Today, it’s probably Aureole, because I just think Din and Luke deserve each other (in the best way). I wrote that fic as pure self indulgence, each chapter completely unplanned and invented as I went along, just imaging all the best possible outcomes for them. So it’s wish-fulfillment.
Tagging @purplesauris, @redseeker, @dosmit-raeh, @ghost-teat, and @cryo-bucky, and anyone else who sees this and wants to jump in! As Palps would say, DO IT.

I think I’ve finalized Ark’s backstory. I did a little editing to the previous drafts, but I think I’ve got the story in a solid place.
Since I’m trying to style it as an episode of Tron: Uprising, a lot of the episode titles are one word, so I’m calling it “Another.”
It’s split into 4 chapters and runs a little over 5,000 words.
-
Rough drafts: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
Second drafts: Part 1 | Part 2 version 1 | Part 2 version 2
Final draft: Combined Parts (you are here)

01. The Encounter
With Tron healed, he had started going on missions with Beck, along with taking on some solo missions of his own.
Strangely enough, the Occupation had been subdued lately, which was cause for suspicion, so they had gone out into Argon together to see if they could pick up on any hints or information.
Things had been rather boring, right up until they got ambushed by a group of five Occupation programs.
There were four Sentries lead by an unmasked female program with a blank expression on her face.
Beck had never seen the leading program before, but Tron seemed completely surprised at who stood before them.
There was no time for questions, though, the four Sentries rushed Beck, while their leader went after Tron.
The Sentries kept Beck occupied, coordinating their attacks to keep him on the defense and distracted.
On the other hand, Tron and the new program were fighting furiously, though neither one was landing a blow on the other. Move for move, they matched each other, striking and blocking again and again.
Beck slowly managed to take out his opponents one by one, until the last one was left unconscious.
Their leader blocked Tron's attack and looked around to confirm that her crew was incapacitated.
She disengaged from the fight, fleeing the way she had come.
Tron yelled one word after her, "Ark!"
The program paused as she looked back with a gasp, her eyes widening as she showed the first scrap of emotion since she had arrived.
It lasted only an instant before she shook her head, her expression blanked out once more, and she resumed running away.
Beck, worn out from his four-on-one battle looked from Tron to where the program had left, then back again.
Tron wasn't pursuing her, though he looked somewhat shaken at the encounter.
Beck made his way over to Tron, "You know her?"
Tron didn't take his eyes off where she had gone, "I did a long time ago."
Beck raised an eyebrow, "Care to tell me about it?"
"No."
Beck was about to protest about more potentially dangerous secrets when Tron sighed and continued, "But, I'll tell you when we get back to the lair."
Tron lead the way back, while Beck's mind buzzed with questions, who was she?
Once at the lair, Beck fidgeted slightly as he waited for Tron, he knew there was no sense in pushing him, he'd do it on his own time.
Suddenly, almost without warning, Tron spoke, "Her name is Ark."
That was the one thing Beck had figured out, but, it was a start.
"You know that you're not the first to wear my circuits. She was the second."
Beck raised an eyebrow, but chose to say nothing yet.
"Don't give me that look. It's different, we knew each other way back before the Occupation took over."
Tron walked up to the display screen and tapped a few buttons, bringing up an image of Ark, this time in blue circuits, instead of the red of the Occupation.
"She was a System Monitor. She was a hard worker and we ended up working together several times. She was friendly with the ISOs, which caused some trouble, but it ultimately saved her life."
Tron activated another image, this time, one of a cloaked program with jagged sickly yellow light lines.
"Right before the coup happened, Clu used a virus to cause chaos and further his goals. There was going to be a ceremony celebrating a share of power between Basics and ISOs, but the virus interrupted, causing death and destruction.
"Ark was stationed outside, the virus had gone in a different way, so her and some of the other System Monitors had no idea anything was wrong until programs suddenly fled the ceremony.
"All of the Monitors helped calm down the crowd and got all of the programs to safety. Then, they split up to try and find out what they could about the virus.
"Ark ended up alone in the heart of the city, when an ISO pulled her into an alley. They told her that programs were being rounded up for the Games, that System Monitors were disappearing, and that I was dead. They begged her to hide, afraid that her friendliness with the ISOs would cause her death.
"She was reluctant to give up, but the more the ISO told her, the more it made sense that something bigger than she could handle was going down. She couldn't protect the system if she was dead, so she promised to hide for a short while, but if nothing happened, then she'd continue looking for answers.
"This seemed to appease the ISO, who fled to their own hiding spot and Ark never saw them again.
"As for Ark, she found a place to hide that gave her a prime vantage point to see all of the missing System Monitors march in with red circuits to take over the city. If she hadn't been warned, then she would've been rectified like the rest of them or killed for her defiance."
Beck frowns at this, "She's rectified now, though, so what happened?"
"I did." Tron replied. "She stayed hidden for a while, until things settled down and she wasn't in immediate danger. From there, she quietly snuck around and learned about the Occupation and their takeover. She didn't care much for them, so she took matters into her own hands, stopping them from bullying innocent programs and picking fights whenever she saw just a couple of them."
Tron smiled wistfully, "In that way, you remind me of her. Both of you fought back despite the odds, because you didn't like what the system had become under the Occupation."
He sighed softly, "Anyway, it wasn't long before people were talking about some kind of vigilante, so I sought her out. We recognized each other immediately and she agreed to team up with me without hesitation.
"She was a good Renegade, but didn't last long. After more successful missions, there was word going around about a dangerous new weapon that the Occupation was working on nearby. The information seemed suspect, but Ark insisted on investigating it. To her, the risk of the weapon being real was too great to ignore.
"So, she went in alone. I waited at the rendezvous point for far longer than the meeting time we had agreed on, but she never came back. After that, I never saw her again. I had hoped that meant she was dead, rather than forced to be rectified, but I wasn't sure if that really was worse or better."
Tron shook his head, "With her suddenly showing up after all of these cycles, it's likely the Occupation is trying to use her to draw us into a trap. We must proceed carefully from here on out. If you see her, do not engage."
It was Beck's turn to sigh as he tried to process all of this new information, "All right, I promise. We won't jump into anything without being sure of it."
He walked over to Tron and put a hand on his shoulder, "We'll get her back, I promise. She recognized her name, she's still in there somewhere."
Tron nodded silently before replying, "Thank you."
-
02. The Mistake
Even though Tron didn't know exactly what had happened to Ark, he could guess on the details. However, he had no idea of the depth of what went on after she was captured...
Ark understood Tron's concerns, but this time, her concerns had outweighed his. He knew he couldn't stop her from going, so he had suggested that they meet back up at a certain place and time, so that if she was pursued, he could give her a hand.
She had agreed to this, said her goodbyes, then took off. She had been studying the building and the guard patterns for some time now, so she knew sneaking in would be easy. After that, though, there was little information, just that somewhere in the building was a weapon that Clu could use to easily stop any programs that even thought about resisting. Tron, her, and anyone else they could recruit would be in even more danger than ever.
The lack of information gave her pause, though, and for a moment, she considered turning back around. But, her pride and stubbornness won out and she kept going. This was something she had to do, even if Tron didn't agree with it.
She wore his circuits, like she did on every mission, and they brought her some comfort. Even if he wasn't here with her, he was the best on the Grid, maybe some of his talents came along with his emblem.
Getting in was just a matter of waiting for the right time, and she had timed her approach to coincide with the Sentries' movements.
For an instant, she wondered that if this gap in the guards was purposeful, and that Tron was right. But, she shook her head, if she kept believing that she'd fail, then she would. Even if Tron was right, and it was a trap, she had gotten out of worse situations. They both had.
Once she was in, she wandered endless dark hallways empty of everything but her footsteps. Trying to walk as quietly as possible, she made her way through the building, until she entered a large room.
Sticking to the edges and finding nothing and no one there, she slowly walked towards the middle to see if she could find anything there.
What she found was an ambush.
Countless Sentries dropped down from above and went in after her.
Ark activated her staff and fought for her life. She derezzed what felt like endless amounts of Sentries, but there were still far more of them than she had energy to deal with. The longer the battle went on, the more exhausted she got, starting to falter and make mistakes. After receiving quite a few injuries, she finally collapsed and was immediately surrounded.
Two Sentries hauled her to her knees, holding her upright by grabbing her arms tightly. She felt a disc rest at the back of her neck, another reminder that she wasn't going anywhere of her own accord.
Glowing yellow circuits ominously appeared in the darkness and walked towards her as Ark realized just how much trouble she was in. The Administrator himself had set this trap and she had just walked right into it.
Clu leaned down, "Well now, what do we have here? You're clearly not Tron, but you're wearing his circuits. Let's see who you really are."
He reached up under her chin and casually pressed the button to deactivate her helmet and reveal her face.
As her helmet disappeared, Ark directed a defiant glare up at Clu.
"You? Now, isn't this interesting? Here I thought all of the System Monitors were under my control, but it seems I've been mistaken. I thought Abraxas had gotten you all those cycles ago. You're quite resilient to survive everything after all this time. Well, until now."
Clu paced in front of her, seemingly trying to make a decision, "What to do with you? Obviously, I can't let you go. You've been disrupting things and making a nuisance of yourself."
Suddenly, he's back in front of her, leaning down, "How about a deal? I could use more competent soldiers like yourself. Give me Tron's location, willingly join me, and you'll survive. I'll make sure that you're well taken care of, with all the comforts you desire. I can't imagine your vigilante lifestyle is terribly cozy. It's a more than generous offer, but, what can I say, you've caught me in a good mood."
Ark's only reply was an icy glare.
"Oh. You're going to do this the hard way. Suit yourself. There's ways of getting the information I want and ways of making you work for me. They won't be any fun for you, but the programs torturing you will definitely enjoy it."
He takes a step back, "I could look at your disc and get Tron's location out of your memories, but, I want to hear you say it. I want you to give up your hero and personally betray him. I want you to know that resisting me will get you and those you care about absolutely nowhere."
Clu casually waves a hand to the programs holding her, "You know where to take her."
The two Sentries drag Ark off. She doesn't cooperate with them, but, since she's trying to save her energy, she doesn't fight them, either. She just goes limp and makes them drag her along.
When they reach the designated torture room, she uses every last scrap of energy to try and break free. She manages it for a moment, but it's a short lived freedom as they tackle her and slam her to the ground.
They pick her up and drag her to a table and strap her to it. For all the trouble she's caused, one of them hits the corner of the table, causing it to spin. When it settles, she's stuck at an angle and upside down.
It's disorienting and she's left like this for a while, until a program she doesn't recognize comes in.
She's adjusted to be back upright and the torture begins. Bursts of electricity are sent through her at different strengths and at various places.
The process is horrific, but Ark seeks refuge in her code, focusing on it instead of the pain. As a System Monitor, she's programmed to protect the Grid and do what's best for it. Giving up Tron would doom everyone, so she's secure in the knowledge that no matter how much this hurts, she's doing what has to be done.
Her screams echo down the hallway, but she never begs for it to stop, she never says anything coherent at all.
The torture is endless, all she knows is pain. Ark doesn't know how much time has passed or how much longer it'll go on. Sometimes she's left alone to recover, but the peace just makes the next torture session hurt all the worse.
Her torturer seems irritated that she won't break. At one point, she was jabbed in the side with an even higher amount of electricity and pain than usual, and after that, things never felt quite right. But, it was hard to tell much of anything around all of the pain.
Cycles pass and it's hard for Ark to know where she is any more. All she knows is that she cannot give up Tron.
Finally, things are different. She's left alone long enough for her to start being able to think. The pain is ever present, but her mind begins to clear.
"Still as resilient as ever." An all-too-familiar voice addressed her. Clu strolls up to Ark, "They say you won't give up your memories, so I'm going to make sure that you no longer have any memories at all."
He turns his attention to another program in the room, "Get her healed up, but leave the scars as a reminder as to what happens to programs that defy me."
Clu looks back to Ark, "I'll see you soon." He leaves the room and his programs to their work.
It takes a while to get Ark back in functioning shape, several different healing techniques are needed in order to repair the extensive damage done to her over many, many cycles. The outlines of the vast amount of injuries remain, though, just as Clu had ordered.
They bring her to another room where Clu was awaiting them. Two programs remove her from the table, and as soon as she's free, Ark tries to break away and escape. But, she's easily stopped by several more programs she hadn't been aware of.
Clu smirks, "A fighter right up until the very end. That's what makes you so valuable. It'd be a shame to just derezz you."
Ark's shoved into a glass chamber, which she immediately tries to break.
Clu watches her struggle for a short period of time, before signaling for the process to begin.
Ark fights until she can't any more. She struggles to resist what the machine's forcing her to do, until it finally takes over and her programming is overlaid with the Occupation's mind-controlling code.
Once the process is over, she's removed from the chamber and Clu inspects her.
"A story Flynn once mentioned comes to mind. He often spoke of an old User city called Rome. There resided someone who was called 'The God of War'. I think that's a fitting title for her, she'll help me put an end to the war for the Grid. Now, she just needs the name to go along with it." He puts a hand on her shoulder and addresses her, "We've got a lot of work to do, Mars."
-
03. The Rescue
Tron and Beck kept getting ambushed by Ark. Again and again, she'd show up with a group of Sentries, instigate a fight, and then flee afterwards.
They catalogued everything about every instance, especially the location, and a pattern began to emerge.
She was slowly leading them somewhere. But, at this point in time, it was hard to tell exactly where. There were many buildings in that direction, and quite a few of them were under the Occupation's control.
If they could figure out where quickly enough, they could spring the trap before the Occupation could set it.
Most of the time, she attacked them when they were together, but on occasion, she would fight just one of them.
So, Beck and Tron made a plan to split up and track Ark. Since she knew Tron and seemed focused on him, he'd fight her, while Beck would follow her when she fled.
It took a few tries to get it right. Several times, she attacked before they split up or ended up targeting Beck instead.
But, soon, everything lined up in their favor. When she was focused on Tron, Beck was able to stay back and keep eyes on her.
He kept a safe distance from Ark, making sure that she didn't know she was being followed. After they traveled several blocks, finally, she entered a large building.
Memorizing everything he thought was useful, he met back up with Tron to give him the information.
Thanks to being a System Monitor and his close association with Flynn, Tron had access to schematics of all the buildings in the city. The Occupation would've modified the building to their needs, but they had enough to work with.
Based off the blueprints and their experience with the Occupation, there were a couple places that they were likely to be holding Ark.
One of the sides of the building had a loading area, so, when Occupation members were busy unloading a truck, Beck and Tron slipped right past them.
They silently headed up the stairs, the first two floors they tried didn't look like holding areas, but the third was lined with cells.
The floor was dark, and only one cell had an active barrier and an occupant. As they crept closer, it was clear that Ark was in the cell. She was standing there with the blank expression on her face that she always had.
It didn't take long for them to deactivate the barrier and set her free. Tron darted in and quickly stunned her with a low-power pulse, just enough to knock her out for a short while.
Tron scooped up Ark to carry her in his arms and followed behind Beck as they left faster than they had come in.
Things continue going smoothly until they reach the loading area and are greeted by a group of Sentries.
With Tron's hands full, all the fighting came down to Beck, while Tron dodged discs left and right.
They weren't trying to win, just make a path to freedom. As soon as there was an opportunity, they ran for it, though Beck still had to knock down a few opponents.
Paige arrived on the scene just in time to see the two Renegades escape with a captive Occupation member.
Tron and Beck had set up a temporary base in the city, so they secured Ark and hid there while the Occupation searched the city for them.
Once they rested up from their frantic flight, they started investigating Ark's disc. Ark herself had woken up and was just staring blankly off into space.
The Occupation code seemed to be overlaid over her original code, though there were a few older memories that were mixed in and easily accessible.
A quick check of the memories revealed her repeated torture at the hands of the Occupation. There was nothing else before or after that of Ark's memories, the torture suddenly stopped, there was a gap of time, and then her memories of being with the Occupation began.
Since Ark had seemed to respond to Tron's voice before, they tried it again. Tron stood in view of her and said her name.
Like before, her eyes widened and she gasped softly, before returning back to her empty gaze.
Beck had been monitoring her disc, when she recognized Tron, a memory had briefly bubbled to the surface and he had managed to activate it.
It was a short memory, and the timestamp indicated that it was from some time before the Occupation took over.
There was no context to it, it just consisted of Ark standing there in her System Monitor armor, while Tron praised her for a job well done.
Beck looked to Tron, "Looks like she really thought a lot of you."
Tron nodded quietly, and with a heavy sigh, he went back to looking at Ark's disc, "There has to be something else we can use to bring her back."
Beck thought this over, "I'm just a mechanic, but, my wrench works with a lot of things, lemme try it."
He took the disc from Tron and attached his wrench to it. More information popped up and he started scouring the data.
The layer of Occupation code was straightforward, except for one section, where it seemed to go around and bypass something. The more he looked into it, it was clear that something was wrong, but he had no idea what it could possibly be.
"Hey, look at this. Something's off here, but I don't know what."
Tron gave it a look, "I'm not sure, either. We need a medic to figure it out."
Beck sighed, "I only know one medic, and I don't think she's too interested in helping us."
Tron looked at Beck resolutely, "We'll figure something out." They weren't on a time crunch now, so they had time to look into different options.
With nothing more they could do right now, they both took a much-needed rest.
-
04. The Return
As time rolled on, both Tron and Beck investigated Ark's disc, but came to no new conclusions. Time passing also lessened the search against them, so much so, that they decided to take turns going out into the city. Maybe a change of pace would help, and maybe they could find a medic willing to assist the Renegades.
Their brief jaunts into the city were unmemorable for the most part, right up until Paige found Beck.
He had continued to wear the Renegade armor and helmet, in the hopes that someone sympathetic and loyal to the cause would offer their help, but, this time, he got slammed to the ground instead.
"Where is she?!" Paige yelled, "What did you do with her?!"
Beck saw the opportunity this presented, and the many problems that came with it, and took a leap of faith.
"She's safe, but she needs help."
Paige hissed, "She needs help because you kidnapped her."
Beck shook his head the best he could, "It's more than that. There's something wrong with her disc."
Paige growled, "She could get the proper care with the Occupation, instead of a couple of vigilantes."
Beck sighed, "Look, I'll make you a deal."
Paige interrupted, "I don't make deals with kidnappers."
"Just hear me out. If you can fix her, you can take her back to the Occupation, no trouble. I just ask that you watch her memories and make sure that you think that going back to the Occupation is the right thing for her."
This gives Paige pause and she considers it. If this offer was valid, the Renegade would take her straight to his hideout, then she'd have the location of both Renegades and the kidnapped Occupation member. There was a chance that this was a trap, but, she knew that she could take both Renegades, or at least hold them off long enough while she called for backup.
There was no way she could lose. "Fine. Take me to her. The sooner we get this done, the sooner she'll be back where she belongs."
Paige let Beck up and he lead the way, "Do you even know who she is?"
"I don't know every member of the Occupation."
Beck looked back to her, "She was locked up in a cell. Did you ever think that maybe they didn't want you to know who she was?"
Paige didn't like this, but found a plausible reason, "If something's wrong with her, maybe she was quarantined."
Beck turned his gaze ahead, "Maybe. You'll be able to figure it out once you look at her disc."
He took her around a long path, trying to obscure the location as best he could. It might be a temporary lair, but he didn't want to just hand the Occupation an invitation.
As they entered, Beck warned Tron by saying loudly, "I brought a guest."
Out of their current line of sight, Tron activated his helmet and stood watch in the corner. He wasn't sure what was going on, but he trusted Beck.
Paige eyed the sparse room, "Nice place you got here."
Beck just shrugged, "Hey, you work with what you've got."
Paige went over to Ark and started examining her. Once she's done, she looks to Beck, "Nothing seems wrong with her physically, except for some scar remnants and the fact that she never reacted to me looking her over, did you sedate her?"
Beck shook his head, "No. All of that is the Occupation's doing."
Paige snorted, "We'll see about that."
She carefully undocked Ark's disc and started looking at the files, "Her code's a mess."
Beck gestured to Ark, "The Occupation again."
Paige rolled her eyes and got back to work. Clearly the Renegade was going to be no help to her.
She got down to the code bypass and frowned as she saw what it was going around, "Her energy processor is completely burned out, only a large amount of electricity could do that. She was unconscious when you took her, how hard did you shock her?"
Beck shook his head, "Not that hard. We didn't want to hurt her, so we used the minimum amount to knock her out."
Paige gestured angrily at him, "Then why is her processor destroyed?"
Beck gestured right back, "You'll find that answer in her memories. The older ones before the gap." He paused, then added, "You're not going to like it, though."
Paige snorted, "We'll see about that."
She confidently went to the indicated memories, sure that she'd see some sort of injustice acted upon this program by one or both of the Renegades.
Instead, she watched in absolute horror as a red-circuited Occupation program brutally tortured the program again and again.
She's about to accuse the Renegade of rewriting the memories, but she keeps looking, there's far too many matching memories for it all of them to be altered. Something on this scale would be far too dangerous for the program involved.
Paige wavered, her faith shaken. But, she quickly came back to her senses. She had a patient to take care of.
She went back to the damaged portion of the disc and went to work. She's not seen this kind of damage often and she wasn't prepared for it, so it's slow going.
After quite a while, she finally gets the energy processor fixed, but she's not done yet. Digging through the files, she sees that the messy, overlaid code is locked in as the default setting.
Paige does some experimenting, and after seeing the old memory featuring Tron, she uses it to make a backdoor around the default code. Combining the bypass with the remnants of older code from the memory, she's able to reconnect the original code. Once it's in place, she locks the original code to default and seals away the added code. With the extra code unconnected to anything, it won't cause any harm to the program, so she leaves it as is.
She double-checks her work, and once she's confident that everything's correct, she hands the disc to Beck.
"This should fix her. I have to go."
As Paige quietly leaves back out into the city, Tron looks over to Beck.
"I don't think she liked what she saw."
Beck nodded, "I think maybe her faith in the Occupation was finally shaken. I hope so, anyway."
"We can only hope."
Beck then put Ark's disc back on her dock and they waited while all the changes loaded and took place.
Tron stood in front of Ark, so that he'd be the first person she saw after coming back.
The process takes a while, but, finally, Ark's eyes light up and her expression warms from the cold look they had been accustomed to seeing. She blinks while looking around and gathering her bearings.
Finally, she realizes that Tron's there and she gasps, "Tron! You were right, it was a trap, I'm sorry I didn't listen to you."
Before he can reply, more memories hit, "Wait...they...they rectified me. How did you fix me?"
Tron gave a small smile, "With the help of a friend." He gestured Beck over, "This is Beck, and he knew someone that was able to help you."
Ark smiled and nodded to Beck, "Thanks and thanks to your friend for saving me."
Beck gave her a grin, "You're welcome. And, welcome back to the Resistance."
Tron walked over and freed her from her restraints. Ark stretched out the stiffness, then gave Beck a grin of her own, "It's good to be back."

Tron AU snippet
Because @dhampir72 asked what this Tron AU was. You've also now revealed a bigger mystery which is where did the rest of it go?? But here's a bit for you.
<br>R
One of the newer Q branch employees brought his tablet over to R. He had security camera footage pulled up. “This doesn’t normally move, does it?”
The video was of the display case in the main lobby of the building. It had some old typewriters and encoding devices and a telegraph. The telegraph was moving. R didn’t even think it was connected to anything. Then again, the previous Q had liked old things like that and he might’ve hooked it up once to play a joke on someone and left it connected. “Can you translate it?”
He nodded. “I’ll have it in your email as soon as I do.”
Although R didn’t actually read the email until much later. Multiple alert systems started pinging to notify of suspicious activity. Sudden bulk sales of security stocks, rapid power drains in Marylebone, and an increase in probing attacks on their firewalls.
She was exhausted when she finally saw the translated message from last night. It said: “Trapped. Warning. Oddjob. Q.”
She sighed. If he wasn’t back by now, there really was a big problem. And she couldn’t even help.
EDIT: I FOUND IT! Longer snippet so it's going below a cut.
Q 1.9
At long last, they reached the root system of the grid. It looked like a large quarry with a black mirror at the bottom. But it was no mirror. The sizzle of electricity that shot across the surface just then belied that.
“What is that?” Tish asked.
“It’s a doorway,” Q answered. “Albeit a strange one. It feels like you’re drowning when you pass through even though you can still breathe.”
“Hold on,” Niko said. “I thought you said you’ve never been here before?”
“I haven’t,” Q replied, shrugging off his backpack. In the root system, he would travel light. “My father took me to the root system of his computer once though. And at the heart of all computers, the root is structured identically.”
Niko rubbed his hands together. “Alright, so what can we expect? Any more of the goldfingers?”
The others looked at him, all very confused. “The what?” Smerl asked.
“The goldfingers. The bad guys.” He glanced at all of the still confused faces. “Come on, they needed a name and the really bad ones have gold colouring on their light suits.”
“No, we got that,” Q said.
“Its the finger part,” Tanzy finished. “Why goldfinger?”
He shrugged. “Well their like parts of the hand reaching out for us, but goldhand didn’t sound as good and besides there’s many of them so fingers.” He wiggled his own as if that would help his case. “So tell us, Queue. What’s waiting for us in the root?”
“There’s no us. You’ll wait here.”
All the programs protested that.
“You wanna know what’s through there? A laser grid. No way to turn it off. Designed to keep out programs. It touches any small part of you and you are instantly derezzed. No second chance. But I’m a user. Doesn’t affect me at all.”
“So we have to build--”
“No. Its too dangerous. I won’t let you die foolishly.”
Tanzy raised a hand. “You said Oddjob got into the root system and locked you out. He’s a program. How did he get in?”
“I don’t know,” Q admitted. “I don’t know how many cycles he’s been planning this for. Maybe he did build something to allow himself safe passage. Or maybe he hired programs to jump in as a protective ring around him. Used them as shields.”
Smerl gasped. “That’s horrible.”
“Yeah, it is. But I’ve fought against his type before and it wouldn’t surprise me.if he did it.”
There was some more arguing, but Q had been expecting the argument for a while and he had an answer for all of their counter arguments. So as the light faded on another cycle, he double checked that he had all the things he needed and then he took a running leap into the black mirror.

IDEA FOR BATMAN AU THAT TAKES PLACE IN THE WORLD OF JOJO’s BIZARRE ADVENTURE
So, like, last night while I was pretending to care about work, I was thinking about what it would be like if Batman’s story took place in the world of JJBA. It looks a little something like this:
You know the origin story: Bruce Wayne’s parents are murdered by Joe Chill outside a movie theater, he swears to avenge their deaths and make Gotham a safer place for everyone by becoming a masked ninja detective, etc etc. This time, however, Alfred recognizes something in young Bruce, hidden strength waiting to be released. Alfred helps Bruce realize that he has potential to be a great Hamon user, as both of his parents were.
Bruce then sets out on his 15-year round-the-world journey to become Batman, eventually joining with the League of Shadows and learning to master his Hamon like no other. As a final test to prove his worth to the League’s cause, Bruce is them pierced with a Stand arrow. His Stand, BACK IN BLACK, manifests as a utility belt that holds any tools he needs to solve any problem (Batarangs, explosive gel, grappling hook gun, shark repellent, Bat Credit Card, etc.) He breaks with the League when he finds out they expect him to join Ra’s al Ghul in his quest to purge humanity and take over the world using vampire masks.
So, Batman officially establishes himself as Gotham’s protector, using his Hamon and Stand powers to defend the innocent. Along the way, he makes several allies and recruits sidekicks to his cause, training them in Hamon energy and helping them perfect their Stands.
* Dick Grayson’s Stand is WIND BENEATH MY WINGS: It allows him to glide quickly and harmlessly through the air
* Barbara Gordon’s Stand, DEREZZED, allows her to hack into any computer network and reshape it to her choosing
* Jason Todd’s Stand, KNOCK ME DOWN, allows him to come back stronger every time he almost dies.
* I haven’t yet decided what Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain, it Stephanie Brown’s Stands are. I will come back and edit this when I come up with them.
Of course, Batman’s enemies are also Stand users.
* The Joker’s Stand is THE REAL SLIM SHADY: whenever his physical body is destroyed, his soul possesses someone else and turns them into him.
* The Penguin’s Stand, UMBRELLA, takes the form of an umbrella that he can turn into any weapon
* The Riddler’s Stand, SIMPLE MINDS, allows him to steal people’s intelligence, thereby boosting his own IQ in the process, by asking them questions they cannot answer in 15 seconds. Doing the same to him will reverse the process.
* Scarecrow’s Stand, DARK TWISTED FANTASY, allows him to bring his target’s worst fears to life.
* Killer Croc’s Stand, MAN EATER, permanently turns him into a crocodile monster once activated.
* Bane’s Stand, HARDER BETTER FASTER STRONGER, boosts his physical strength and durability to superhuman levels
* Mr. Freeze’s Stand, SNOW PATROL, gives him the power to freeze whatever he touches, but also makes it impossible for him to live in non-freezing temperatures
* Solomon Grundy’s Stand, CANNIBAL CORPSE, allows him to return from the dead as a super-strong zombie
* Clayface here is a human whose Stand, KARMA CHAMELEON, takes the form of a blob monster that attaches to Clayface’s body and allows him to shapeshift into anyone or anything he can imagine (so, basically like Rubber Soul’s Yellow Temperance)
* Poison Ivy’s Stand, WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE, allows her to control plant life and bend it to her will
* Catwoman’s Stand is NINE INCH NAILS, which gives her Unbreakable catlike claws
* Two-Face’s Stand, BLACK OR WHITE, is a coin he flips whenever he is faced with a more question. The result will give him superpowers, but will also compel him to act based on the result of the coin toss (if it lands on Good Heads, he works with the heroes, but if it lands on Bad Heads, he remains a villain)
* Mad Hatter’s Stand, ALICE IN CHAINS, takes the form of a teapot which produces tea that, when consumed, transports the drinker to a twisted Wonderland where the Hatter reigns supreme
* Deadshot’s Stand, HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT, is a gun that fires bullets he can control the direction of (basically like Hol Horse and Guido Mista’s Stands, except Deadshot actually knows how to use his.)

A Turning Point For Clu WARNING: Really Stupid Use of Partially Edited Musical Number Ahead (Not a Joke Post, this is a serious IC post)
He’d done it. He’d finally done it. He’d broadcast to the entire Grid the truth about the Occupation and what it had done to him. It felt like a Recognizer lifting off his shoulders as he headed back toward the Admin Tower from where he’d hidden in the Outlands. Where he’d realized what he needed to do.
He was dressed in the plain black lightless robes he’d taken to wearing, but that would change very soon. He hoped the Occupation could hear as he approached and his voice took over.
The lights glow bright on the Grid tonight. I hope every program sees It’s the end of the Occupation Being in control of me.
Recognizers roaring like this growing storm inside I couldn’t keep it in No matter how I tried
Don’t tell the truth, let no one see Be the scapegoat they want me to be Don’t let the Occupation know Well now they know!
At this point, he threw away the gloves from his Gridsuit, watching them derezz as he continued toward the tower, his song drawing the attention of civilian programs now
Let it go, let it go I can’t hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Perfect’s not worth fighting for I don’t care what they’re going to say I know they’re wrong So I will stand up to them today.
By now there were curious programs and even some of the sentries and Black Guards following him as he laughed and continued up the steps to the Admin Tower.
It’s funny how some distance Makes them seem so small Now the fears that once controlled me Can’t get to me at all!
They’ll finally see what I can do After all the pain they’ve put me through No more obedience from me I’m free!
He turned to face the windowed side of the lift as the doors closed and he ascended toward the top of the tower. The roof. He knew cameras were following him, and that was fine. He wanted the Grid to see this whole thing.
Tell them No, tell them No I am no longer on their side Tell them No, tell them No I’ve got to make things right!
He exited the lift, onto the roof of the tower, ending his next line with a stamp of his foot that spread a wave of recoding that turned the tower’s red Occupation circuits to his own gold.
Here I stand and here I’ll stay! And I won’t back down.
He felt a new strength welling up inside him from deep in his code, as if the Grid itself were giving him strength. He drew his disc and pulled off copies of the memories of his abuse at the hands of his User and whoever the true Occupation leaders were, putting them onto an empty datapad.
The Grid’s power is lifting me up off the ground. My soul is spiraling in golden fractals all around It took a long time, but I’ve decided at last! I’m never going back! The past is in the past!
With those last two lines, he took the datapad that now had all the copies on it and flung it as hard as he could out over the side of the tower.
With the final part of his song, his plain black robes transformed, much like Tron’s suit had when he revealed himself to Beck, becoming a longer, more billowy version of his old robe and cape with the gold circuits on it
Let it go, let it go! And I’ll rise like the break of dawn! Let it go, let it go! That perfect Program’s gone! Here I stand on this brand new day! The time has come! The Grid’s always been perfect anyway.
The admin smiled as he finished, looking out over Tron City, even as the programs, his people, approached him now

TRON: Legacy
Tumblr media
              2010’s TRON: Legacy brought the technological world of The Grid back to the big screen for the first time since the original TRON back in 1982. Released on December 17th, 2010, the modern adaptation of the story of the journey of a son trying to save his father from the video game world he created stars Jeff Bridges, Garrett Hedlund, and Olivia Wilde and was directed by Joseph Kosinski. A year after it’s release, the film had made over $400 million worldwide and had also won an Oscar for achievement in sound editing, Saturn awards for best music, costume, actor, and special effects. (IMDb)
              TRON: Legacy is a visually stunning film with excellent effects and world creation. For the most part, it’s a CGI film, but, much to this author’s surprise, scenes like Kevin Flynn’s apartment and the End of Line Club were done on a real set. The costumes were created to look futuristic and techy with specially-made light strips to illuminate and perfectly fit the environment they’re in. When it comes down to it though, the soundtrack takes center stage as much as the CGI does. Daft Punk, French electronic music duo, was hired to compose all the music in a style that they’re truly masters in. There are orchestral-style tracks that bring out the emotion behind the scene and then they add just enough “biodigital jazz” to remind you who you’re really listening to when you hear the music. On occasion, Daft Punk goes beyond the cinematic song and delivers a track that not only fits the film but adds some more action to the scene. A perfect example of this is “Derezzed” during the End of Line Club attack. It has a solid beat which adds to the action of the scene and has the techno style of the film amped up just right.
              At first glance, this film seems like it would be kind of odd and not really fit for the general audience due to the video game-like nature of the CGI but it had enough Walt Disney Pictures’ love to allow it to resonate with audiences even when the story isn’t like most films they’re used to. If you come for a good story, this one is easy to follow and rally behind. If you come for awesome uses of CGI, TRON if filled to the brim. If you come for the music, Daft Punk outdid themselves. If you come for all the above, well then, you’ll certainly love it. It’s honestly one of my favorite films for the above reasons and more and I can’t understate my opinion that I think it’s a must-see for any movie fan.
Ryan Dixson, 12/8/2017
