"I come from a long line of mistakes, maybe here in the Grid I can be something more than just a last name..."
A TRON OC from yours truly!
Nova Dillinger, the daughter of Edward Dillinger Jr!
No Lewd on TL.
As always I suck at pinneds.
Perhaps it was just a playground rumor then, so Nova pushed it into the back of her mind for now.
Still, something felt unnerving about it.
"I guess we'll just have to see what awaits us..."
"Hm, well I was told of an even scarier virus, you know? Yellow in color?"
She had chalked it up to just being a rumor amongst programs though.
"I hear it corrupts, almost like a zombie!"
Nova would hop on her Light-Cycle, ready to follow close behind.
"I've heard some pretty nasty rumors about the Outlands, something about viruses running rampant there, but hey, those can't exactly hurt Users, right?"

Using his baton, the object materializes into his Light-Cycle. Hopper carefully places the ISO on his back and hops onto the it.
❝It’s mostly abandoned, save for us.❞
Nova gave a thumbs up.
"I rode dirt bikes in the real- er, User world."
Hopper probably had no clue what she was talking about so she tried to put it in terms he could understand.
"They're like... Light-Cycles but think of them being designed for rough terrain."

Hopper could expect that Radia would be just as shocked as he was finding an ISO out here.
❝Do you think you could manage out there? There’s no worry of an army, but. . .it’s still dangerous.❞
"Wait, your mentor is a girl!?"
Not that it surprised her, she was just expecting them to mention Kevin Flynn.
"Oh man, I gotta meet her for sure!"
To say it had been a real sausage fest so far was an understatement.
"Lead the way!"
"You keep being cryptic about this mentor of yours, who is he?"
She had an idea of sorts, but she wanted to make sure that they were still alive. If that was even possible.

Nova would insert the key into the cuffs and lo' and behold they unlocked.
"There's your answer!"
She pondered about Hopper's mention of his mentor.
"I think we should try and find them, if you're up for it, I mean we got nothing much else to do."

❝. . .I know someone in the Outlands. A mentor in a way.❞
Hopper flexes his wrists, finding a small keyhole in the cuffs. The key Nova held seemed like a good solution to them.
❝Do you think these’ll work?❞
"Okay, so the arcade should be pretty easy to find, I think...
I mean it has two big old signs pointing you in its direction, sooooo..."
The ISOs were meant to be eradicated? As in destroyed?
"You're talking about genocide..."
Seems that the Grid unfortunately had a lot in common with the real world.
"We should find a safe place for them, somewhere they can hide."

❝They’ve been here ever since The Grid was made, but. . .❞
Maybe he was wrong. Perhaps, the ISO could share the same sentiment with him when he recovers. ❝I assume thats he’s a refugee of the war, too.❞
Nova wasn't sure what an ISO was, but it sounded important.
Considering Hopper's reaction, she wondered if ISOs were dangerous.
"Right, well, follow me then!"
Best to ignore it for now, she'd ask questions once they got out.

❝. . .We shouldn’t stay out here with him.❞
This time, Hopper’s words sounded like advice rather than an order. ❝Where’d you say the station was?❞
Nova continued to carry the ISO anyhow, they certainly were a heavy sleeper considering they hadn't made a peep since they found them.
"This guy isn't dead is he!?"
No, he appeared to be breathing, if his chest moving meant anything.
