[The enforcer's stare flattens a little at the laughter. (And good luck convincing him you aren't all programs.) But there is data amidst the mockery this time. Almost a favorable ratio, even. Rinzler's brows furrow a little at that timestamp, as close to an admission of surprise as he comes. Hundreds of cycles in the user world? Hard to calculate how much might change. Outside the system, even Rinzler and Yori were only a few dozen cycles apart.
The scowl slips back quickly enough when the topic turns to function, and Rinzler's noise skips a beat in irritation. Directives aren't an issue. And caring about them hardly makes him the glitched one here. He's typing before Prometheus even closes that last line.]
Function required for system utility.
Lack of function: waste of resources; probable destabilizing factor. Glitch.
[There are other tags he could use. Stray. ISO. The first were to be rectified, or disposed of in the Games. The second, deleted on sight or turned over to Clu. Rinzler wasn't yet in operation when the Purge began, but he had been instrumental in tracking down and wiping the surviving virals after.
...so, that'd be a yes on the hardcoded thing. In spades.]
