Programs exclaiming “Oh my User!” and “Users help us!” and all that is all well and good, but I would like to propose that individual Programs should also from time to time call on their own personal User. So Tron would shout “Alan allmighty!”, Yori would say “Lora protect us!”, Ram would mutter “Roy only knows”, Dumont would say “Gibbs help me” and so on. Maybe even Sark would occasionally whisper to himself “Dillinger give me strength” when he’s certain the MCP isn’t listening.
In the Legacy and Identity systems, most Programs would probably default to some variation of “Flynn help me!”, but I would like to think that some of them would sometimes call on Alan or Lora as well.
I imagine programs are more likely to call out the name of their personal User in moments of… intimate pleasure
this connects very well to my earlier analysis about how the sex drives of programs are largely focused around the act of contacting their Users
(an act that is as important to them as reproduction is to a sexually reproducing species, so it stands to reason)
but even when they’re touching each other for pleasure, without any real goal of User-communication, I imagine there’s often still a suddenly strengthened sense of their User’s presence– a feeling which could definitely lead them to cry out a name in the heat of the moment
anyway I bet it makes Kevin Flynn’s first time with Tron extra awkward when they both yell the same name for different reasons
…
(I mean I guess it’s not exactly the same for both of them)
(and if Kevin doesn’t remember, in the heat of the moment, what User-name Tron knows Alan by, he might be confused about the “1”)
(“…wait, is that a thing you programs DO when you’re too excited to think straight? yell out "1,” like a typo in the middle of your series of exclamation points?? …or were you just going yes! in binary?“)
