Oh Oliver, just two more seconds and you would have pulled off the cyber equivalent to the big bang. Who knows what you could have done then? You might have even ripped the cyber fabric of space-time. But you had to wake up. So now, of course, youâll never know will you.
I guess that DarpaNET was the closest term Breathed had at the time and very few would have understood.
