User    : Flynn is a User-Progam and cannot be easily derezzed or terminated;
          As a User-Program, Flynn is totally immune from the Uptime Termination
          As a User-Program, Flynn cannot be derezzed unless the program has Admin Rights;

Back-up : Flynn has a single native Back-up ability;
          Flynn can not back up himself with his natural Back-up ability;
          This is a one time use Back-up;

Ping    : Flynn may secretly send a message to either the MPC or Thorne each downtime.
          Flynn will not be informed who the MPC or Thorne. The MPC and Thorne will be not informed who Flynn is.

Deadly Disc of TRON : TRON can use his Disk to immediately derezz any program during Uptime;
                      This is a one time ability.
                      While TRON has the Deadly Disc of TRON he is immune to 3 "Corruptions";
                      After the three Corruption attempt the Deadly Disc of TRON is destroyed;
                      The fourth Corruption attempt will infect TRON;
