Ever since he was programmed, EWAN has always been the go-to program to help as a substitute for a program under maintenance. His users, all recognized as numbers, used him to help possibly save user currency instead of getting more programs to do it. He is used to traveling, a USB as a temporary home while the user looked for programs to imitate. The user he most often spends time with is the one called, "Kaiba" or "BlueEyesCEO".

"There's so much of the user world I haven't seen. I wish I could, but I can't leave the computer," he sighed, wandering his world.

Up and around he wandered, until he found a tower that seemed to be under construction. "What's that?"
He ran to see what this new tower was about. ISO's flooded the place, chattering away as EWAN came up to it.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"The users are working on a port for another virtual game program," one said, almost excited.
"When is it going to be completed?"
"This seems to be a prototype, so anytime soon they'll be testing it."

This gave him an idea. In the past, the users had used virtual reality to transfer their brainwaves into the system to play games. What if, he wondered, the reverse could be done for programs? He just eyed the tower in awe, and hope.

"Is it almost ready?" Kaiba asked as his employees scrambled to and fro in the lab.
"It should be done by tomorrow, but it's getting late," one said.
"It'll be done TONIGHT because no one's leaving until it's finished. I'm this close to making a breakthrough, and I won't allow time constraints to interfere," Kaiba commanded, then left the room full of now silent employees. So, the staff continued working.

2.25 in the morning, the team of developers had finally finished the components of the machine. Now all there was left to do was let the circuits settle before actually testing it. Once all of the staff left, the lab lay quiet and dark.

EWAN gazed at the newly finished tower. ISOs were flooding the stairs to greet the new program. Amidst them all EWAN shuffled to the top of the tower. He barely fit on the top of the tower, but he managed to shove his way through the crowd to see the beam from above touch the center of the tower. A new program appeared in the center, a meek smile on his face. He looked around to see a mass of ISOs gaping at this new program. EWAN just walked forward toward this new program, a smile escaping as well.

"Tell me, new program, what are you called?" he asked.
"I am KaiVirt, the newest in virtual reality software created by KaibaCorp," he recited.
"Well, I'm EWAN; let me be the first to welcome you to the System,"he said with a smirk and an outstretched hand. The new program extended his as well and both shook 'hands'.

Only, this new program didn't know about EWAN. He had to make physical contact with another program to gain its traits and act as if he were the program himself. His hand clenched KaiVirt's, and a surge pulsed through his circuits and into EWAN's body. He was gaining the new program's features; he then let go when he was finished downloading the information. EWAN then turned and left the tower to seek the RCE (Reverse Code Engineering) program.

"Tell me, with this program, can I go into the user world?" he asked after explaining it to the other program.
"Well, let me see your Identity Disc," RCE said. "Now, I think if I can tamper a little with the exiting part of this program, I can have you actually exist in the user world. Just give me a little time."
"All right,"he said, and sat to let RCE perform his task.

Time passes differently in the System, but to EWAN it seemed like an eternity. 5.30 had just hit when RCE sprang from his spot with the Identity Disk in hand. He gave it back, but not before saying, "I don't have this engineered enough to make you completely User, so you'll be like a User android: a machine-you. Be careful, and tell me about it when you get back."
"I will, and maybe next time you can come with me,"EWAN smiled as he ran off with his Disc.

Once at the tower, he had to confront KaiVirt. He stood at the top of the tower, a scowl plastered on his face.
"So you're the System thief? You just take what you want and make it yours, don't you?" he said.
"You have it all wrong; I am programmed to imitate other programs for other Systems!" EWAN explained as both programs circled each other. "You're new, you haven't any idea what it's like being stuck here all of the time."In an instant he kicked KaiVirt down, giving himself a chance to get to the port. He raised his ID Disc and shot up through the beam the new program came from.

5.45 in the morning, and the first lab employee had just entered the room. To his surprise and shock, the program was already starting to run. The scanning process was in progress, which was scanning out a figure in black, detailed with circuit-like lines of blue. As the scanning finished, there stood a being. His brown eyes darted across the room through his matching brown, shaggy hair.

"Excuse me, User, where am I?" he asked.
