<strong>~Alexis~</strong><br/><br/>Alan made an amused noise as he continued to look out over the city. "<em>That</em>is a good question. We are looking for something yes, though we have no idea if we will find it, or if it even exists any more." He sighed and glanced down for a moment, a flicker passed through his eyes, barely there before it was gone.<br/><br/>Looking up and back to Alexis, he continued, "But, we are doing a lot more then looking for something here. We are building and rebuilding, changing this world from within. I spend a lot of time monitoring this System from the outside and I can tell you now, it is like nothing I have ever seen before. Much of what you see here was created by Kevin Flynn, the man who began all this, salvaged from his system and transferred here." He shakes his head with an almost incredulous expression, "I have seen programs that have survived that disaster do things and act in ways that should be impossible within the limits of programming as we understand it. Some of them self-upgrade! New Programs introduced here change, begin acting in ways beyond their design parameters.  The only explanation I can come up with is...<em>Us.</em>"<br/><br/>He looked back out at the city then, "Having Users here, it is changing the Programs, changing the Grid. We are teaching them to adapt and evolve, just by being here and interacting with them." He paused for a moment before adding softly, "There are almost ten million Programs out there. Imagining the possibilities in that, for them and for us... Some days it almost makes me dizzy."
