+++++ This is an automated posting

+++++ Location: CLU's Cell, Detention Center, Automated Infoworks

+++++ WARNING: This is a delayed transmission, originally recorded
5-21-54.

+++++ Two guards drag CLU into the cell and dump him. He groans. As
the guards leave, a force field winks into existance. MONICA
steps in front of the doorway.

MONICA: Well, it seems the time has come. I have been unsuccessful in
getting the code bits from you that I needed. I will be
attending to a few other duties, but in a little while I'll come
back down and kill you. Good day, program.

+++++ MONICA spins and walks out of the room. In the background,
SPRITE can be seen peeking around the corner. In a moment, she
also turns and scampers out of the room.

+++++ CLU picks himself up from the ground and can almost be seen to
smile, but perhaps is a trick of the light. He extends his bound
hands and there is a tiny flash of light. In it appears the
object he snatched from his utility belt. A closeup shows what
appears to be a computerized version of a Swiss Army knife.

CLU presses an unseen button and a lockpick flips out. He
inserts the pick into his handcuffs and in a moment, the bindings
clatter to the ground.

CLU then races forward and inserts the lockpick into the controls
for the forcefield. In a moment, it collapses and CLU races out
of the cell.

He pauses for a moment in the hallway and extends his arm. Some
kind of a weapons fades into being in his arm. He then turns and
races down the hallway.
