[She was such a bright, pleasant person, probably what Pulse understood to mean "sunny" for a disposition, he hated to bring her down... But she seemed eager to listen, and Pulse needed someone to talk to.]
What happened, from what I understand... A little over a year before I was born, my father found a way to enter cyberspace for the first time. He was a human, and he did it so that he could be with my mother. But then there was an accident that put them both in danger. My dad saved my mom by putting her in a system restore memory backup, but when he tried to get out himself, when he left the computer he had been inside, something about being in there affected him. He turned into a... he... he kind of lost his mind.
[He paused for a moment, looking down.]
He thought he was a different person... he forgot who he used to be. Then he decided that he was going to try to take over the world, and he gathered a gang of... of cyberterrorists, people like hackers, virus programmers. They were going to try to use technology to control humans. My dad... at the time... he saw himself as something greater than humans. He believed he was like a god. And he was very intelligent, and very powerful... I didn't see him again until just a few years ago, when he and his organization launched their attack on the world.
I'm certain that if this hadn't have happened, if he didn't end up going corrupt by whatever it was that changed him, he would have still been the man that my mother knew and loved. He probably would still be alive today... I wouldn't have had to fight him...
