You need to understand that I was a rather mischievous young man in my teens, so I was usually up to a rather large number of things at once. So when the cybernetic intelligence of New Japan showed up on my doorstep and asked me what exactly I thought I was doing, a lot of possibilities went through my mind. The important question to me wasn’t what I was up to, but what it was that had gotten her attention. It took me rather longer than I am comfortable admitting to figure out that she wanted to know about the various game AIs I was creating. I was relieved. I mean, there might be some legal problems with that, but the law didn’t tend to break kneecaps like some fathers I don’t really want to mention. So I was very relieved. At first.
