At first I tried to tell myself that you were living out another life, what if you were living in a world where the bad guys won. But it didn't add up. What is Fourteen? And is it part of why you wander the worlds and steal things?
[Drawing up a chair, he sat down heavily in front of the camera.] Fourteen is the person, entity that has controlled my world for years. Decades even. I... used to work for him, willingly. I thought I was doing a lot of good...
With the way you were during the virus, no amount of reasoning could have gotten you to see otherwise. He did way too good a job at keeping control of everybody.
One of the things I noticed was how far back your technology seemed to be--even compared to 1990s level. Was that what he did? Destroyed everything and forced you to start over from scratch?
And when it's kept that low, it's also easier to keep everything contained. Computers contain less information, can't connect as well, things like that. Sometimes I wonder if that's what would have happened to my world if Astronema's forces had won.
When I wanted to escape, an avenue showed itself to me. I took it, and escaped to another world, where I discovered that a power was being developed, one of two Rider powers. I stole one, but wasn't able to take the other before it was presented to the leader of the group who developed it.
My brother. He was one of the Riders, and when he was captured, I thought that he would be re-educated properly. Turns out, he was simply brainwashed into Fourteen's Lackey.
I snapped, tried to convince Fourteen to stop it. And it didn't work. I fled the scene after that.
Shortly after I got my Rider powers, I came back to save him. As such, I'm now wanted by the whole world.
Killing Fourteen is one way, and potentially the most viable way. He has his scientists infect people with microscopic creatures to alter their thoughts and brain chemistry. If they are to be saved, then we need to destroy Fourteen.
I don't like the idea of you heading back there without some kind of vaccine against it. Do you know if there's any way you can get a sample? Without putting yourself in too much danger?

... how things change really.

Yes well, to keep us from rebelling, we kept the technology level to around 1950 or so. Before the weapons really took off.
