In the beginning, Pavel has just fired the mechanics from Able's Garage for protecting the Renegade. The last words from Tron as he and Beck watched the mechanics stand together?
"The Uprising has begun."
CHAPTER 1
Tron and his successor, Beck, watch proudly as Mara, Zed, and the rest of Beck's co-workers stood their ground in front of the damaged Mobile Repurposing Unit that had crashed outside Able's Garage, the mechanics' shop where Beck and his friends worked. Or used to work. After Able's death, Pavel and his soldiers had taken military control over the garage. But after Beck's co-workers stood up and protected the Renegade from being derezzed by Pavel's soldiers, unaware that the Renegade was really their friend and co-worker. Outraged, Pavel fired them before running back into the garage with his soldiers.
Beck, who was still in the Renegade's white suit, looked up at Tron, whose suit was black. Since Beck was wearing Tron's disc attached to his own, Tron's suit was black, instead of his normal white suit, which Beck was currently wearing. The only thing that made Tron stand out from any other program on The Grid was his "T" symbol on his chest, the same symbol that was on Beck's chest – on the Renegade's suit.
"Tron, it's time to round up some recruits for the Uprising," Beck said, turning to face his friends and co-workers, who were still facing their old home. They had replaced their discs on their backs.
Tron sighed. "It's your Uprising, Beck. Your Uprising, your decision."
Beck pulled out his recoding tool that his old friend Bodhi had given him before his death. "Give me your disc, Tron. I want to disguise your suit."
Tron pulled his disc from his back and handed it to Beck. "Why disguise my suit?" he asked.
Beck used his recoder to alter the coding on Tron's disc. "I don't want two programs with that symbol to be in plain sight here in Argon – not with Pavel or any other members of the Occupation around."
Beck placed Tron's altered disc back onto his mentor's body. As soon as the disc connected with Tron, his suit changed. The "T" symbol vanished, turning Tron's suit completely black.
Beck stood up and helped Tron to his feet. "We'll take them to the hideout. Since they no longer have a home in Argon, the hideout will have to do for now. You ready for this?" he asked.
Tron smiled and put on his mask. "Let's do this." He said. Beck, still dressed as the Renegade, put on his own mask. Then he led Tron down toward the group of mechanics.
So Beck has decided to recruit his fellow mechanics for the Uprising! What will happen next?
