Notes on this particular system monitor.

systemsecurity* He is perfectly capable of verbal communication, he just doesn't most of the time.
* There are other things to do besides chat, like his job.
* He really enjoys his job.
* ISOs are perfectly reasonable acceptable programs, except Gibson, who has quirks.
* Gibson in spite of the aforementioned quirks, is also a reasonably acceptable program.
* He is in possession of a long list of Totally True Tron Facts, collected from overheard programs. Amazing facts like: Tron can build a snowman out of rain! Also, Tron once bowled a perfect game using a marble.
* When he does bother with verbal communication, he sounds suspiciously like his creator, Kevin Flynn.
* This also means he sounds a lot like CLU.
* There is a reasonable chance this has something to do with why he doesn't bother to speak much.
* There are security tapes of this particular system monitor attempting and failing over a dozen times to reach a single mag point.
* He did succeed eventually.
On the unlikely chance anyone ever gets him to take his helmet off, the monitor does look a little like Flynn, but not identical by far; he's had enough modifications courtesy of Flynn while being designed to prevent that. Looks kind of like what you'd get if you crossed a Flynn program with an Alan1 program, doesn't it? Unfortunate about the voice thing...
Tron once derezzed 37 rogue programs in two throws of his disk. The first throw was a warning shot.
Tron can delete the Recycle Bin.
When Tron enters a maze, the maze gets lost.
Tron doesn't cheat death, he wins fair and square.
Tron was actually derezzed over 300 cycles ago, but even Flynn's afraid to tell him.
Tron is capable of slamming a revolving door.
Tron is the only program on the Grid proven to be able to actually kill time.
Tron was once bitten by a grid bug. After an entire cycle of unbearable agony, the grid bug died.
Tron knows the value of NULL, and he can sort by it too.
The moving dots in the sky are programs Tron tossed there.
Code runs faster when Tron watches it.
When Tron throws exceptions, it's across the room.
Tron crossed the road. Nobody dares question his motives.
The pen is mightier than the identity disk, but only if Tron is holding it.
If at first you don't succeed, you're not Tron.
Tron doesn't win so much as allows you to lose.
Tron can write to an output stream.
Tron can read from an input stream.
Tron doesn't use GUI, he prefers COMMAND line.
Tron doesn't destroy grid bugs. The grid bugs find out he's coming and destroy themselves.
Tron is the only program known to have beaten the odds. The odds have not recovered yet.
A program once claimed Tron beat him twice. This is a bald faced lie - no-one survives the first beating.
When you say "No-one's perfect," Tron takes it as a personal insult.
Tron doesn't carry a datapad with him because all information in the Grid is stored in his memory. He refreshes and updates it by blinking.
Tron has never been in a fight. A fight implies the other program had a chance to do anything.
Tron can overflow your stack simply by looking at it.
