Well... if he does posess some of my traits.. I have an idea. I stepped between the two programs and faced Zero. "Zero... if you help us find these programs, I'll give you my permission ring haker." Zero gave me a skeptical look, but I continued. "Trust me, you think haking rings is easy now? just wait. this thing bypasses the access misalignment code completely." Zero arched an eyebrow. "How is that possible?" I smiled just a bit at his peaked intrest. I think I have him. "it isolates the id callback reflector. no transmittor means no error messages, which means no more having to fine-tune the permission's energy signature." I figured Kamui might be a bit apalled that I was bribing him with a high-tech haking tool, but he seemed to be taking the bait.

"Fine. I'll help you find some programs. Just follow me," says Zero.
Zero leads Harpo and Kamui in a direction.

We followed in the aforementioned direction... and we reached a small encampment of programs.
(OOC: sorry for the spam-ish post but we reely needed to move on...)

Zero annonced their presences to the programs of the encampment.
"Hey! Guys! Found some noobs here!" says Zero.
The programs looked up for a moment and then went back to what they were doing.
"We're trying to organize a resisance against the resource hogs. Not much as worked so far," says Zero.
(OOC: I'm alright with that, Harpo. Just as long as it doesn't happen often, I'm happy)

"Hmm.. a resistance? seems pretty honorable cause... not something I would expect. but still honorable..." I looked around the camp while I spoke, and it seemed the programs were mostly equipped with backwards-engineered ID discs. hardly a match for a suffusion. "Hey, even people written wrong can do good." Zero said. And how right he is... strangely right. Zero lead us to one of the larger housing units and motioned for us to wait, then he went inside. I spoke to Kamui. "Ok, aside from checking out a noble cause, what are we doing here? and what's with Harpo_00? it's not often you meet a program with your name who looks like you... well, never, if you're me. as far as I knew there weren't any earlier versions of me... and they certantly wouldn't be on an old server like this even if they did exist."

"Well... Zero DOES seem to be related to you some how. I'm a little curious in what way. As for myself, I haven't really found anything yet. But if we help their cause, we may get more information. Or at least that's what I'm hoping." says Kamui.EXE

"That was kinda what I was hoping too..." I said. just then, Zero arrived from the tent and said, "Alright. our leader says he'll speak to you. but I don't know how receptive he'll be..." Zero walked back into he Tent, and I spoke to Kamui. "The Datawraiths had a phrase which seems to apply: cross your fingers." Kamui and I stepped into the tent. there was a old program sitting there, he wore a skull cap, and looked as if he was older then any program in existance- barely alive by user definition. the old man spoke: "My name is Dumont. what do you require?"

"Information on Tron and our past. Do you think you can help us?" Kamui.EXE asks.
Durmont pauses a moment before speaking.
"I know not of your past well. But I can tell you this, if you locate Tron, you will have your past. He knows you well." says Durmont.
Kamui.EXE felt as though an archive bin of cold energy was dumped on her. There WAS the connection and she also now knows her age.
"Wow. I had no idea I was that old!" kamui.EXE says with suprise.
"This other Harpo program you brought with you. He seems the same as Zero." says Durmont.

Wow. Kamui is sure old... although I wonder... why isn't she aged like she would be if she was that old? there's something strange about all this... I spoke to Dumont. "We don't really know why Zero looks like me. we were hoping you could explain." Dumont seemed to ponder the question, then spoke. "Zero said you would be willing to help us. I can tell..." then, I felt a cold shiver as I looked into the old man's eyes... and I heard something... something tuning out his voice... yet still sounding like him... You are more like him then you know, Harpo989. I blinked and looked at Kamui. she seemed as if she didn't hear anything... didn't even react. I gulped, then listened to the old program finish speaking. "...and then the beam will take you to the old power regulator. that is where they stay mostly."

Kamui.EXE was floored by the facts. She was older than most programs whe knew. matter of fact, real old and yet, you'd never know.
"That would make me about twenty years old...." kamui.EXE whispered.
Dumont was speaking again. Kamui.EXE listened.

"So, if you can help us, Kamui and Harpo989, then perhaps I can give you more information on Tron... however you may not like what I have to say." said Dumont. I nodded and spoke: "Thank you, Dumont. we'll think about it and get back to you." I motioned to Kamui and we walked out of the tent. once we were outside, I spoke to Kamui. "twenty years old... and yet you look like you aren't..." I turned to her. "There has to be an explanation for this... for all of this.. it seems like the more we find out, the more confusing this gets."

"The funny thing is, I don't feel that old. I have to wonder what Dumont wants to say." Kamui.EXE says.

"I don't know, but something about him is... unsettling." I looked around nervousy, visibly shaken. "I think there's more to him then we can see on the surface."

Zero ran back outside.
"Are you two going to help us? We're going to have a meeting about the Resource hogs in tent 12B in just a few nanos. I want you two to be there." says Zero.

"Sure, Zero. we'll go." I nodded to Kamui, and we started off, following Zero to the tent where they were having the meeting. I whispered to Kamui. "Should we help them?"
