[Action] II

Anakin Skywalker. You may have heard of me.

[Many people have. He's used to it.]

And you mean that you're a droid?

[A humanlike one. This has definitely caught his interest!]

Re: [Action] II

Actually I haven't. But given the nature of this place, that doesn't surprise me.

[Clu suppresses a sigh at the assumption that he's a droid. Despite being Force-less at the moment, Anakin will probably get the feeling Clu has to explain this a lot.]

No, not a droid; a program. We're made of code and energy, not metal, and we live within computer systems, performing a variety of tasks in service to our Users. I'm a hacking program myself.

Droids have programs in them, it could still apply.

[Oh yeah. He certainly gets that this guy has to explain this a lot. But unfortunately Anakin is probably going to pester him from now on.]

Besides, as far as I can tell, you have a physical body right now. You wouldn't if you were just energy.

[Hey, pester away. Clu is nosy and it'd give him an excuse to pester you right back.]

My body is made of code; energy is what holds it together and keeps me functional. If I was injured, you could see the voxels, but I'm not about to cause that much damage to myself for the sake of a demonstration.

[Solid code seems to be a very tough concept for most Users to grasp for whatever reason.]

Anyway, I don't suppose anyone has given you the text file explaining the basics of this place yet, have they?

Re: [Action] II

[ignitethestars]

So you are similar to a hologram, but more defined. There's no sort of projector or anything? How were you created?

[Let's just ignore the whole text file thing, what Clu is made of is more interesting]

Re: [Action] II

[tanks4thememory]

Not really. Holograms are just projections; they're not really alive. Programs and other, less sophisticated codeforms like bits and bytes, are solid, living code.

[Another concept hard for Users to understand, it seems; living code.]

Programs are written by Users to serve them by performing a variety of functions within the system. If you're asking for the exact process that goes into that, though, I'm afraid I don't really know. Programs can't create other programs; only Users can.
