audio; a warning
[The audio message is posted to the network at midday. Alan’s voice is measured and serious, though some may catch a certain strained quality undercutting his words.]
This is Alan Bradley speaking. I’m posting this as a warning about one of the ship’s new arrivals -- a program named Clu. [There’s a link to Clu’s page on the MID directory here, which includes an image of the program in question. Those who were present the previous month may also recognize the name from the emergency post Alan had made some weeks earlier. For those who weren’t:] He was created as the admin of a server called the Grid. A few of you may have seen the Grid firsthand through the Ingress on Amissis-Re, in which case you know what he’s capable of. He rewrote programs against their will en masse and kept his own User trapped on the Grid for years. [Some of the anger Alan’s trying to keep in check slips through here and still lingers as he continues.] He’s a danger to everyone on the ship -- especially to any inorganics with accessible code. His only interest in rewriting programs on the Grid was to make them completely obedient and loyal to him and there’s no reason to believe he won’t do the same to any AI he can manipulate here.
Don’t let your guard down around him and don’t leave him alone with any of the AI onboard if you can help it. Death may not always be permanent here, but what Clu could do might be.
[There’s a pause that might be a sigh and then:] I think we can all agree that it’s a theory better left untested.
[And on that note, the audio message ends. He won't address Clu directly here; the program has an MID like everyone else. If he wants to respond directly, he can.]

[ Sam isn't saying he would have not said anything, which is why he. Y'know. Didn't. ]
Though Tron not being asked difficult and probing questions is probably a better idea.

Technically there is a target on his back already since he showed up with a disk.]Alan. It's noble of you to want to warn people, so me and Tron can stay out of it. But Clu's gonna hate me because I exist and want another Rinzler. So yeah stuff was already tense, this really doesn't look that good - and this is really not gonna have the desired effect.

The “desired effect” is letting people know that he’s a danger to them. Giving him the opportunity to manipulate them wouldn’t be any better.

It’s not like I have much of a good reputation to ruin anyway.

If it seems like you're stirring up drama, which it does s2s, it's not going to be taken seriously. Or it's not going to be taken as seriously. Whichever.
