Enforcer implies something or someone he is enforcing. Although there are obvious similarities with security, enforcer does not hold the same possibility for independence.
Ram turns his hands palm outwards, raised slightly, trying not to think too much on the rattle vibrating up through the floor.
'Not necessary,' he says, shifting to put himself in a slightly submissive pose, that also gives him a chance to analyse the curve of Rinzler's back. He's too short for Tron, but he's hunched. Once he has the angle he calculates Rinzler's potential full standing height and-- it matches.
The time doesn't match up though. Rinzler had said he'd been out of his system for 3.68 cycles, Ram saw Tron only last microcycle.
Could he be a copy? Not the Tron Ram knows, but the same program on a different system? He thinks back. The height and voice match, albeit the latter has some... changes. Ram was too caught off guard by the double disks to analyse the style, but he remembers Rinzler had merged them in his left hand. Tron was left handed. And of course, the identifier. Tron's markings were unique in a way other programs' weren't, a sign of his independence. An enforcer wouldn't share them. Unless they had been there before the enforcer code was.
Ram swallows.
It's still not certain, but the physical evidence matches up and Ram wants to do a system purge because, if this is--frag--if this is Tron, copy or not, he shudders, how did he end up like this? Tron would never go red. Willingly.
