A few people who weren't supposed to got their hands on incomplete code and cobbled together their own systems.\n\nTron Expansion\n\nContinuation - Chapter 1\n\nThe day I first digitized myself was amazing.\u0026nbsp; At the time, I had no idea what was going on within the Grids.\u0026nbsp; I would come to wish I had never even encountered the digital world.\u0026nbsp; But I digress.\u0026nbsp; I'm getting ahead of myself.\u0026nbsp; Let's start at the beginning.\u0026nbsp; I'm a gamer and had long fantasized about being INSIDE the games I played.\u0026nbsp; I loved to play VR but it just wasn't the same.\u0026nbsp; When I heard about Kevin Flynn going into the system, I nearly lost my entire shit!\u0026nbsp; How cool must that have been?!\u0026nbsp; To actually be inside the digital world and interacting with all those programs.\u0026nbsp; Sure, he was racing to free the system from the maniacal MCP.\u0026nbsp; Still, to be in there with those programs must have so damn cool.\u0026nbsp; Then when his son went into the system to rescue him, that was uber cool!\u0026nbsp; Plus, Sam Flynn had brought an Isomorph\u0026nbsp;out into the real world!\u0026nbsp; Wow!\u0026nbsp; So when I heard about the Grid Expansion Project, I jumped at my chance to enter the Grids.\n\nCome on!\u0026nbsp; How could I not?!\u0026nbsp; It was the ultimate gamer geekdom.\u0026nbsp; The world inside the system beckoned to so many people.\u0026nbsp; So imagine my horror when I found out...\u0026nbsp; Ya know what?\u0026nbsp; I'm getting ahead of myself again.\u0026nbsp; Anyway, where was I?\u0026nbsp; Oh yeah.\u0026nbsp; The day I got my system.\u0026nbsp; Like any proper gamer, I\u0026nbsp;had an awesome\u0026nbsp;rig to paly my games on.\u0026nbsp; Even so, it was no Grid system.\u0026nbsp; So convincing my parents (yes I still lived at home at that point) was a bit of a challenge.\u0026nbsp; I was their 40+ year old gamer son and now I wanted to bring in another computer system.\u0026nbsp; They barely tolerated the gaming rig I had set up.\u0026nbsp; It took a while but I managed to convince them that I would be contributing something to the world finally.\u0026nbsp; They begrudgingly allowed me to set it up in a corner of the basement where there was a lot of unused space that was being wasted.\u0026nbsp; Of course, it didn't hurt that they were both major investors in Encom.\n\nFinishing the set up took nearly three hours of crawling around the various parts of the system.\u0026nbsp; The laser had to be bolted to the basement floor as it was very heavy and very fragile.\u0026nbsp; I got all the parts connected and plugged in.\u0026nbsp; I turned the power on and smiled as the machine began its start up routine.\u0026nbsp; I knew this thing would take a while to finish starting.\u0026nbsp; It was, after all, a very powerful computer capable of running an entire reality within its circuits.\u0026nbsp; I went upstairs and flipped on the TV.\u0026nbsp; I became engrossed in whatever stupid thing was on TV to the point that it was several hours later before I realized I needed to check on my Grid.\u0026nbsp; Flipping the TV off, I stood up slowly popping the kinks out of my back.\u0026nbsp; I headed down to the basement and over to the Grid system.\u0026nbsp; I unlocked it and set about figuring out how the interface worked.\u0026nbsp; A half an hour later, I thought I had it pretty much under control.\n\nI clicked the icon for the digitizing laser and waited for the control program to boot up.\u0026nbsp; I found the interface was fairly self explanatory.\u0026nbsp; I set the system to auto recall me in one hour of real time, if I didn't activate the portal myself.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;I initiated the digitization process and stepped onto the platform.\u0026nbsp; Standing still on the platform, I tried to keep my breathing steady.\u0026nbsp; 5...4...3...2...1...nothing.\u0026nbsp; I opened my eyes and was just about to step off the pad to go see what was going on when suddenly I couldn't move.\u0026nbsp; The laser hit me and nearly instantly I was somewhere else.\u0026nbsp; It still looked like my digitizing bay but with a very sleek electronic look to it.\u0026nbsp; it reminded me of the office Sam appeared in when he got digitized, only much more decorated and less industrial.\u0026nbsp; I stepped slowly off the digitizer platform and looked around the room I found myself in.\u0026nbsp; Aside from a single program and a control panel, the room was more or less empty.\n\n\"Welcome to your System, Master User.\"\n\nI glanced over at the program and noticed a HUD with its filename and health hovering next to it like some sort of game interface.\u0026nbsp; I also had a set of crosshairs floating in the center of my visual field.\u0026nbsp; Thinking a moment, the crosshairs vanished,\u0026nbsp; I knew it would return when needed.\u0026nbsp; I walked over to the program and started to ask it about the system.\n\n\"What is the name of this system?\"\n\n\"User, this system has no name yet.\u0026nbsp; You may go to the Kernel's office and give the system a name, if you wish.\"\n\n\"Which way to the Kernel's office?\"\n\n\"Bit, please show the Master User to the Kernel's office.\"\n\n[YES]\n\n\"Please call me Alex.\"\n\n\"Affirmative AlexOne.\"\n\n\"Just 'Alex' is fine.\"\n\n\"Yes, AlexOne.\"\n\nI sighed audibly as the program was stuck in its programming.\u0026nbsp; I just wanted to get on with this whole thing.\u0026nbsp; i turned to the bit.\n\n\"Lead the way, Bit.\"\n\n[YES]\n\nI followed the floating geodesic orb as it led the way out of the port room.\u0026nbsp; I looked at each program I passed and marveled at the array of names.\u0026nbsp; Some were obscure, some more mundane.\u0026nbsp; Most though I didn't even really process as I was just amazed at the way the place was put together.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
