Beck wasn't happy.

To be honest, he hadn't been completely happy since he came here. Since before, even. Things were messed up here. As a program, he used to think that Users were the greatest. They created the Grid he lived in, they told him of his primary function and a place to work at. Users were supposed to be everything above a program.

But they weren't "above" programs here. These Users were just as bad as the programs at home who idolized over the games, only worse. In the Grid, nobody brought back the same competitors because they were dead- who cared? But here, it was a repeating cycle. They knew that the tributes would hurt here when they died, but they brought them back anyway.

It was sick.

In Argon City, Beck was originally supposed to be a mechanic. But before he left, he was a rogue program. The Grid was being overtaken by a dictator of sorts, and he had been fighting against him. Any little thing he did to slow down the Occupation, he did it. Beck loved to fight, to be the Renegade. So why couldn't he be the Renegade here?

He frowned as he thought, picking up a spear nearby. He drew his arm back and tossed it forward with a yell, aiming for the center of a stuffed dummy nearby.

Okay. He wanted to start a rebellion. He knew how to do it; for a while, Beck had been running around on the streets, trying to gain supporters by his actions and those alone. As far as he knew, he had been...getting better at it. There wasn't a full-scale revolution going on, but as far as he was concerned, it was getting started.

But it wouldn't work here, would it?

Beck wasn't a program anymore; the only part of him that represented that was the identity disc on his back. And honestly, that wasn't really helpful to him here. He was pure flesh and blood, almost fragile in a way. The last few times in the arena kind of showed that to him.

Supporters. A rebellion needed supporters...

...but who would want to here? In a place where Users knew how to manipulate other Users, and sent them through punishments, and penalties in the arena...this wouldn't work, would it?

Beck sighed, and ran a hand through his hair. Things weren't the same as they were in the Grid. Could he even make it through this?

He didn't really care about this guy, only enough that he'd finished him off before he'd suffered too much. But he'd do the same for anyone. He sighed. "And not an ounce of appreciation for singing you off back here instead of letting you squirm around in pain and bleed out on the floor."

He still didn't look up from what he was doing. This guy was the kind of idiot Rat wanted nothing to do with. One idealist in his life was more than enough. "Alright, I'll remember this for the next Arena. Normally people pay good money to get a send-off. You got it for free, and lived to complain about it." If he'd been disaffected earlier, he's rather annoyed now. There's levels of stupid he just couldn't pretend didn't exist.

"Suit yourself," he finally concluded. He switched some books around and continued his browsing. He was pretty much done with this guy at this point. He was more than welcome to be ungrateful if he wanted to. He knew he'd bea ble to spare the effort next time.
