(Tron thought. Probs a continuing or connection of this )
Can a stray’s empty mind be embedded with a dead programs disc? Since CLU can’t create new programs can he manipulate one to become another? Can he modify the face of the original holder to become the strays face? By idk the help of someone like gorn? Or could he change the face of the stray to be the disc’s holder, He could revive his best blackguards and sentries just by this method, Tron can be interestingly dark if you think deep enough about it’s concepts
This would be interesting with my theory that Strays aren’t actually completely empty-minded, that they still retain some core personality traits even if they don’t remember anything else. So if Clu were to insert another identity disc in a Stray, it would become the person on the disc, but also have some important traits of the original “occupant” of the Stray body.
oooooh fascinating thought!
I love all these interconnected ideas
also
the idea that even if you’ve been without your disc for a while… to the point of almost losing your self and becoming a Stray… that seeing someone you care about, in that moment, can still sometimes shake you out of it for a while?
said this before, but I think some of this holds true in the Encom system too
I think Yori had a disc
I think MCP made Yori keep her disc in her quarters and only let her access it after she put in a shift at work
I think her shifts were soooo close to being long enough to Stray her
I don’t think she could have gone on like that much longer, if Tron hadn’t come
(reason #74873259780 why Yori’s job is the most relatable one in the entire tron franchise)
