Overrated.

[Quorra tilts her head curiously, a vague frown forming between her brows.] Why do you say that?

You have a lot less control and there is a lot less order.

And people are...
Stupid.

Programs can be stupid, too.

But not at often, I'd imagine.

For the most part they seem to do what they are programmed for.

Intelligence isn't necessarily a part of that.

Well, then the problem lies with the User who created the program. They are probably stupid.

It's a place of wonder, amazement, confusion at times and more material than the Grid.

[A wistful sigh.] I hope I get to see it one day.

You will. I could show you if you wanted. I've found a way to transport programs out of the Grid now. [He watched her]

[She blinks at him.] You have? But I thought only Users could go through the Portal.

Not necessarily. Sash, my creation, she now spends most of her time out in the real world. You're an ISO, so I think it'll be successful due to your body having DNA like a User has.

But this Sash of yours doesn't have DNA. How is that possible?

Was the laser able to extrapolate a physical form based on her code specifications and translate it into an approximation of User physiology? [ISOs - always quick on the uptake. Sometimes too quick.] If so, my biodigital DNA shouldn't be a problem. I wouldn't be exactly the same as a User, but just to see the User world...

Now, you're getting it. I did a smiliar thing to what you just said. As I wrote her code I knew how to change the code structure to allow her to visit the User world.

You could come with me if you like. I could show you whatever you wanted to see.

You created a program for physical existence in the real world? I see. [She supposes it makes sense, although the why escapes her.]

Is it safe?

Of course it's safe. [He nodded]

Sash was created to be a medic in the Grid but she's special in evolving outside her parameters. She lives mostly in the real world now. There is no reason why you can't either.

She sounds more like an ISO than a Basic. [It's a compliment.]

...Well, if you're sure...

Oh, she does. She's like a mircale in herself, man. Although, she wouldn't call herself that, as she's very down to earth. [He smiled]

I am sure, Q. We can go anytime you want.

I'm not sure but it sounds wonderful.

Agreed.

Do you have any ideas on the subject?
