Clu listened quietly as the other detailed the difference between programs and machine spirits, giving a thoughtful little hum as he processed the data. "Not certain exactly what qualifies as an artificial intelligence," he finally said, "but if they're anything like the MCP- Master Control Program- back home, I can see why you're not especially fond of them."
"As for Machine Spirits only living in larger machines well... I can't say for sure how large the computer I came from was," he said. "I never saw it from the outside. But I know that $flynn_home was a fairly small domain, so it's unlikely to have bee especially large. Encom_511, though, now that was a massive system. Who knows how big it was on the outside?"
He paused, smiling sheepishly. "And I'm probably just confusing you by this point, aren't I?" he asked "Maybe a proper introduction will clear things up; Clu-FA071081, hacking program, at your service." He gave a friendly nod rather than a handshake, since the concept was a bit alien to him yet, and he wasn't sure yet whether the other also used such a gesture as a greeting.
Maybe, if you're up for a little data-exchange with a hacker. XD
