Conscript

From Tron Wiki, also known as "Tronpedia", working on 194 articles


Conscript (less commonly known as Data Slave) is a term used to describe a program or, in the case of Flynn, a User who has been hijacked by the Master Control Program and forced to serve his purposes. For most, this means being forced to play video games on the Game Grid until deresolution. Several other programs, such as Yori, became Data Pushers - almost zombie-like programs that do mundane, routine tasks to take care of the computer.

The less common term, "Data Slave" can be heard used in the Tron movie. It was spoken by an uncredited extra as Flynn met Ram for the first time:

I wonder how many new Data Slaves the MCP has programed besides us?
