Evil

ENCRYPTION LEVEL: NONE

Clearly Nikola is evil. He has some kind of scheme going on that he's keeping secret from the rest of Gravitas and I haven't been able to crack what that is because it's offline and he's always at his computer. Whenever I ask him what he's up to he says I wouldn't understand. Pfft! We both went through the same particle physics classes, buddy. Just because you mash a keyboard and I adjust knobs does not mean I don't know what the Time Containment Field does.And then today I dropped a wrench and Nikola nearly jumped out of his skin! He spun around and screamed at me never to do that again. And then when I said, "Geez, it's not the end of the world," he was like, "Yeah, it's not like the world will blow up if I get this wrong" really sarcastic-like.Which technically is true. If the Time Containment Field were to break down, the Temporal Bow could theoretically blow up the world. But that's why there are safety systems in place. And safety systems on safety systems. And then safety systems on top of that. But then again he built all the safety systems, so if he wanted to... ------------------

I decided to get into work early today but when I got in Nikola was already there and it looked like he hadn't been home all weekend. He was pacing back and forth in the lab, monologuing but not like an evil villain. Like someone who hadn't slept in a week."Ruby," he said. "You have to promise me that if anything goes wrong you'll turn on this machine. They're pushing it too far. The printing pods are pushing the...It's too much - TOO MUCH! Something's going to blow. I tried... I'm trying to save it. Not the Earth. There's no hope for the Earth, it's all going to..." then he made this exploding sound. "But the Universe. Time itself. It could all go, don't you see? This machine can contain it. Put a Temporal Containment Field around the Earth so time itself doesn't break down and...and..."Then all of a sudden these security guys came in. New guys. People I haven't seen before. And they just took him away. Then they took me to a room and asked me all kinds of questions and I answered them, I guess. I don't remember much because the whole time I was thinking - What if I was wrong? What if he's not evil, but Gravitas is?What if I was wrong and what if he's right? ------------------

No seriously - what if he's right? ------------------
