The story of Ma3a is told through emails stored on the old mainframe computer containing the Tron Legacy Code.

Lora Bradley developed an AI program to help with lab research, calling it Math Assistant 1a, or Ma1a. Some time before Ma2a was created, Lora was killed in a lab accident. According to an email from an ENCOM employee, Ma2a showed eerie similarities with Lora's personality. There were rumors that she was partially digitized and Alan somehow integrated her DNA with the AI. Ma2a had some unspecified flaws which were corrected in the latest version, Ma3a.

Since Ma3a was Alan's primary tool in re-creating the correction algorithms for the digitizing process, all the algorithms were stored within her code. When fCon bought ENCOM, Ma3a was a priority target because she held the key to their invasion of the computer world.

When the Tron Legacy Code was compiled into Ma3a, she evolved into a powerful User-hunting program, hell-bent on terminating any user she could find. Her fatal blow upon Thorne began corroding his viral form, eventually leading to his deresolution. In her final confrontation with Jet, an fCon Seeker program was able to sneak up and capture her. She made no further appearances in the game's storyline.
