  1. On beginning- You are nothing, just a point in space.
  2.  
  3. d1- You feel yourself being stretched, slowly but certainly, until you can feel existence fly by between your origin and where you are going.
  4.  
  5. 10 d1- You are now a string, slowly growing longer.
  6.  
  7. d2- The stretching stops but starts in another direction, making you freer. You feel a breeze start to carry you away.
  8.  
  9. 10 d2- You are now a simple square, slowly growing in complexity. You are now a pentagon.
  10.  
  11. d3- You decide to take the initiative, and fold yourself up, capturing the breeze with you as you go on your journey.
  12.  
  13. 10 d3- You are now a sphere. Although something here seems familiar... you feel attracted to a different world.
  14.  
  15. d4- You start to realize that <h2> something <h2> is happening. Constantly. Without your control. A flow of time itself.
  16.  
  17. 10 d4- [Day 1, Pre-Experiment] Antimatter research begins. I'll make notes in the diary when something major occurs.
  18.  
  19. dShift1- [Day 1, Experiment 0] The antimatter was poked with a small carbon nanotube, causing it to explode. Within expectations.
  20.  
  21. d5- A crazy thought occurs to you. What if you simultaneously move every point to the other side of the sphere? So you do that and... woah, that feels weird.
  22.  
  23. 10 d5- [Day 1, Post-Experiment] First day was successful. Multiple controls were made, to be compared against. Average time was recorded, and it matches with previous data. Great start for the facility.
  24.  
  25. dShift2- [Day 2, Experiment 0] Today the expected explosion was slightly delayed. Nothing noticeable by humans, but one of the interns picked it up on the computer. May be a calibration error. We'll do more testing.
  26.  
  27. d6- It took you a while to get used to your new form. However, now you are ready to go further. Trying the same trick again, you notice a difficulty increase but only a very small change... you may need to repeat this.
  28.  
  29. 10 d6- [Day 2, Post Experiment] Repeated tests showed that the difference was consistent. A calibration error had most likely occurred. The equipment has been recalibrated.
  30.  
  31. dShift3- [Day 2, Experiment 0 - 2nd Calibration] Once again, the reaction took much longer than expected. Only now it was noticeable. Under a second, but it speaks badly of the future of this facility.
  32.  
  33. d7- After a large amount of experiments with different movement positions, you successfully feel some difference in your abilities. However, you also can feel a wall in your future...
  34.  
  35. 10 d7- [Day 3, Pre-Experiment] After yesterday's events, morale at the Melbourne Antimatter Center has dropped. Some scientists are murmuring about a curse on the MAC facility. All nonsense, of course.
  36.  
  37. dShift4 - [Day 3, Experiment 0] The news keeps getting worse. The reaction was delayed for almost a minute. The facility will probably need to be closed temporarily for a full inspection of the equipment. Hopefully not for too long.
  38.  
  39. d8- The wall arrived quicker than you think. No matter how hard you try, you can't process a higher dimension than the one you are at. Maybe it's time to look elsewhere for personal growth. Perhaps the other world has an answer...
  40.  
  41. 10 d8- Yes, it does. You feel that by tampering with yourself, changes arise in the other world. Things which may allow you to become more powerful in that world, and subsequently more powerful here. You feel sorry, only for a moment, as the thirst for knowledge takes over...
  42.  
  43. dBoost1 - [Day 8, Experiment 0] The timing problems have been fixed by a full check of all equipment. First experiment is within original control times, although the carbon nanotube used collapsed inwardly upon detonation. Possibly a manufacturer error. Will get an intern to check up on it. Yet another setback...
  44.  
  45. 30 d8- A slight alteration in the antimatter's reaction, making it cover the carbon nanotube before exploding, resulted in a substantial bonus in power. It seems they haven't noticed, so next time, you can try something bigger...
  46.  
  47. dBoost2- [Day 10, Experiment 0] The intern returned with a new batch of nanotubes said to fix the problem. And they fixed it collapsing inwardly... instead it exploded outwards violently, crashing against the magnetic containment units, damaging them. The antimatter explosion was also subdued in comparison with control data. Repairs will need to be done again.
  48.  
  49. dBoost3- [Day 12, Experiment 0] No damage was done to the magnetic containment units, and the calibrations were accurate. A new set of carbon nanotubes were taken from a different manufacturer, which were atomized in the first antimatter explosion of the day. Not a fiber remained, and we're left with a pile of graphite. We'll switch nanotubes once more.
  50.  
  51. 60 d8- Under the current circumstances of what you can control, your abilities are limited. It's hard to come up with ideas for what to do when the reaction has already begun to take place. Maybe there's another path to take...
  52.  
  53. dBoost4- [Day 12, Post-Experiment] After testing 5 different nanotube manufacturers, the 6th had a wondrous result - the antimatter explosion was small, and split apart the other antimatter, leaving two smaller globules of antimatter. All the scientists are staying behind to discuss ways of experimenting... perhaps 2 nanotubes may work.
  54.  
  55. dBoost5 (aG0)- You can't help but feel that you've made a wrong turn somewhere in your plans. It's not getting easier to advance. Your fourth form, when you realized time instead of another form of space, seems to be the key... At least the dual-nanotube experiment still runs.
  56.  
  57. aGalaxy1- [Breaking News] The recently created MAC center has exploded. Reports are still underway on the injury and death count, but the police have announced that the cause may have improper antimatter experimentation, resulting in the destruction of the facility.
  58.  
  59. dShift1 (aG1)- The facility you were manipulating was destroyed. This makes it harder to improve. However, you feel that something unique has been created, an extremely potent piece of antimatter which warps time around it. Perhaps you can use this to improve your power over time.
  60.  
  61. dShift2 (aG1)- [Day 2, Experiment 0] The first signs of facility failure have begun. Yesterday's results, although technically correct, felt... off to me. Today has just confirmed it, with the antimatter explosion off by a second. John tried to comfort me today, but it felt fake. Watch as it gets worse tomorrow.
  62.  
  63. dShift3 (aG1)- Maybe it's that you've done it before, or it's from the better manipulation of time, but it feels faster this time, and there's a better sense of what will occur. The wall has been pushed back, so to speak.
  64.  
  65. dShift4 (aG1)- [Day 3, Experiment 0] Once more, the antimatter explosion took longer than expected - multiple minutes of waiting. The place is cursed, I tell you. John tried to go around convincing us that it's just bad luck... but this goes beyond luck. The facility has closed to investigate the issue.
  66.  
  67. dBoost1 (aG1)- [Day 10, Experiment 0] The timing problems have stopped but now another issue has arrived - the nanotubes themselves. The reaction, somehow, formed a diamond from the nanotube. It's quite a nice diamond, but I saw Amarantha pocket it and walk off. Of course, the rest of us want to repeat the experiment, as it is a free diamond...
  68.  
  69. dBoost2 (aG1)- [Day 10, Experiment 1] Instead of creating a diamond, the carbon nanotube exploded violently. I'm not sure what happened, but the safety glass and one of the magnetic containment units are now scratched, so I assume the nanotube collided with those. At least we have some time off to ourselves.
  70.  
  71. dBoost3 (aG1)- Since you created that antimatter galaxy, as you now refer to it, you feel that you are accelerating past previous problems much faster than you used to. There's also now more control over the reaction - you think with enough time manipulation you can even avoid the reaction before it begins...
  72.  
  73. dBoost4 (aG1)- [Day 20, Experiment 0] Something amazing happened! With the new magnetic resonance unit, we poked the antimatter with the carbon nanotube and it split in 2 around it to avoid it, and no reaction occurred! When we removed the rod, it reformed back into the original antimatter. I can't wait to see the look on John's face when he sees this.
  74.  
  75. dBoost5 (aG1)- [Day 20, Post-Experiment] After we spent some time poking the antimatter to watch it split, John arrived late, and we showed him it. Only it didn't split ordinarily, it formed a donut around the carbon nanotube, which disappeared when it was removed. The donut moved with the nanotube. All of us were shocked, but John most of all. He just stood there and watched, before declaring it was a trick and storming out. This place is great.
  76.  
  77. 90d8 (aG1)- There is a slight amount of nostalgia for the old days, where you didn't have as much knowledge of the universe as it stands. Although you wonder why there are no more dimensions after 8, perhaps there is some way to progress past this in the future. Or maybe this is the limit...
  78.  
  79. dBoost6 (aG1)- [Day 21, Experiment 0] It seems the antimatter is growing tired of our games. Instead of forming a ring around the nanotube, it moved the entire body to avoid it, as if it's sentient. Some of the members are disappointed that there is no explosion, but antimatter displaying self-preservation instincts is revolutionary. If this keeps up, the facility will be well funded into eternity... I just hope the curse doesn't return.
  80.  
  81. dBoost7 (aG1)- [Day 22, Pre-Experiment] The experiments just keep surprising us. John noticed that the antimatter after creation was slightly shifting by itself, without any known outside stimulus. However, once more he claimed it was an equipment error, blaming the new magnetic resonance unit. Under his complaints to the supervisor, the facility has been shut down temporarily to investigate our results...
  82.  
  83. 120 d8 (aG1)- Your ability to control antimatter are far better than it was before, but is still lacking in some areas. The wall that was so far away earlier had now arrived at your doorstep, waiting. Perhaps a drastic change in the way they test antimatter is needed, but what can provoke that?
  84.  
  85. dBoost8 (aG1)- [Day 30, Pre-Experiment] A month has started since we opened the facility. However, due to how unusual the circumstances of the experiments are, we've decided to change the method of testing. Today, we'll launch a carbon nanotube into the antimatter to test reaction time of it's self-preservation instinct. Also because we want to see an explosion. Mostly the latter one.
  86.  
  87. dBoost9 (aG1)- You had a polite discussion with the antimatter galaxy today. Well, it didn't talk, but you're sure it was listening. It seems to be ok, but it looks like it wants another partner in crime. Maybe they'll be more powerful with two of them in unison than 2 alone.
  88.  
  89. aGalaxy2- [Breaking News] The SAC has exploded, taking out chunks of the surrounding landscape and lowering property values in Sydney. The revolutionary new facility had a month worth of major technological achievements despite equipment issues, but a new experiment involving launching nanotubes into a pile of antimatter has proved fatal for at least 6 computers, and 4 Petabytes of data. No word on when a replacement facility will be built.
  90.  
  91. dShift1 (aG2)- Once more the facility was destroyed by your actions... although you didn't do much to promote them launching explosive material at you. The good news is, there are now 2 galaxies spinning away and time is warping much faster than with one, which allows you to create an even greater set of plans...
  92.  
  93. dShift2 (aG2)- [Day 2, Experiment 0] So we poked the antimatter with a carbon rod... and nothing happened. Absolutely nothing. We removed the rod and placed it back in... and nothing still happens. As I write this, the reaction still has not taken place. Barry's muttering about curses and John's off talking to the Big Cheese again... It's a beautiful start.
  94.  
  95. dShift3 (aG2)- A thought pops into your head - how far can this go? Will you be able to get a third, fourth and fifth galaxy? Will you be able to continue the constant quest for power? Only more experiments, and manipulation of time will tell.
  96.  
  97. dShift4 (aG2)- [Day 4] The antimatter still hasn't exploded. It's been 2 days. We've poked it countless times, sometimes with 2 rods, and nothing has occurred. Other scientists are flying in to try and figure out what the problem is, and the facility is slowly getting prepared for a doomsday scenario, as most of the scientists here and from overseas agree that it's gotta be big, and it's inadvertently put the BAC on the map. Which is good.
  98.  
  99. dBoost1 (aG2)- [Day 4, Post-Experiment] An hour after the last report, the antimatter seemed to form the carbon rod into a diamond. I resisted the urge to grab it, and for good reason as it violently shrunk down... and disappeared. One of the Finnish scientists recognized the dual radiation signature as both Antimatter and Hawking Radiation - the reaction formed a tiny singularity in place of the carbon rod, which instantly evaporated due to lack of size - apparently. All magic to me.
  100.  
  101. dBoost2 (aG2)- [Day 5, Experiment 0] When the singularity attempted to be recreated, the experiment turned disastrous. The carbon rod violently broke into pieces, which collided with the magnets, tearing a hole through one and forcing it to go offline. Due to the magnetic unit failing, a small, unexploded speck of antimatter crashed into the magnet, obliterating it and damaging the testing area... We'll need to repair the entire area. It would set us back months if we didn't have a second backup...
  102.  
  103. dBoost3 (aG2)- [Day 6, Post-Experiment] The overseas scientists politely asked to take over the experiment. They poked the antimatter once more with crossed fingers... and then the room started beeping. Everyone rushed out, and Barry explained to me in the middle of praying that that was a radiation alarm - the explosion not only atomized the 'carbon nanotube' but simulated nuclear fission, tearing electrons from the nuclei and creating radioactive particles. This would require millions more antimatter, matter, and a radioactive catalyst according to him... which is scary.
  104.  
  105. dBoost4 (aG2)- Maybe you overdid it a little on that one. However improbable it seems, it is still plausible, and they have ideas of doing it in large-scale weaponry anyway. But if the singularity didn't tip them off to change their testing methods this time, you hope this will...
  106.  
  107. dBoost5 (aG2)- [Day 10, Experiment 0] After we made sure everything was safe and no one got severe radiation poisoning, we headed back to restart the experiments. Instead of repeating a past calamity, the rod went straight through the antimatter - as if we were poking a floating blob of regular matter. It looked kinda gross as it bent around the rod but the other scientists were ridiculously excited about it. Except John...
  108.  
  109. dBoost6 (aG2)- [Day 10, Post Experiment] Since the first experiment didn't end in a catastrophic explosion, we were able to repeat the experiment. Each time, although staying as a cohesive mass, the antimatter found new and unique ways to dodge the carbon rod, as if it understands it's imminent demise. They ended the experiment by surprising the antimatter with a second carbon nanotube to cause an explosion... much to John's dismay and horror. But, nothing went wrong. He's worse than Barry sometimes.
  110.  
  111. dBoost7 (aG2)- That's weird. Last time two nanotubes were used, you were able to create another antimatter galaxy. This time, you weren't able to. Perhaps experiments need to grow in difficulty. The dual antimatter galaxies agree in a cold silence, time altering around them.
  112.  
  113. dBoost8 (aG2)- [Day 11, Pre-Experiment] John took a day off today, which is unusual. One of the interns, however, noticed that the "radiation signature of the antimatter was changing slightly, and it was slowly moving inside the confines of the magnetic field without any other outside stimulus". Or that's what they told me. It means that we'll have to hold off experimenting while we discuss this issue.
  114.  
  115. dBoost9 (aG2)- [Day 11, Post-Experiment] After much discussion, in which I had to make a lot of tea for the 'visiting' scientists, we decided to move into launching carbon rods into the antimatter to stop it from avoiding an explosion. And although the explosions were more powerful than usual, they still occurred, which allowed for some good data to be obtained, apparently. It's fortunate to backup facility was built to as high standards as the main one.
  116.  
  117. 150 d8- Once again a similar scenario to a previous one has occurred, and an antimatter galaxy has not been generated. This confirms your theory that you need a stronger experimental deviation each time to create an antimatter galaxy. However, you first need to produce it...
  118.  
  119. dBoost10 (aG2)- [Day 12, Experiment 0] John is now protesting with a homemade sign outside the BAC about the possible destruction of the center. In more interesting news, when attempting to launch an carbon rod into the antimatter, it seemed to attempt to dodge it before being struck and exploding. The explosion was a little unusual, however, with some of the rod being atomized, but that may be an anomaly.
  120.  
  121. dBoost11 (aG2)- [Day 12, Post-Experiment] We've had to end the experiments early today. After a couple of successful hits, the antimatter actually managed to completely dodge the launched rod. It collided with the magnetic containment unit, which damaged it and almost caused the magnetic field to fail, which would've been catastrophic. Fortunately, we prevented this, and we're able to use a normal carbon rod to neutralize it... but the testing area needs to be repaired. Again.
  122.  
  123. 180 d8- There's a sudden realization, a welcome feeling since it hasn't happened for a long time. Under 2 antimatter galaxies, you may possess enough power over time to move the antimatter through the magnetic containment units before a reaction can take place. Pulling it off is another story altogether...
  124.  
  125. dBoost12 (aG2)- [Day 14, Pre-Experiment] The original testing area of the BAC has been repaired. The magnet that was destroyed has been replaced by a newer model, but no one knew how to set it up correctly. It took 3 hours but one of the interns worked it out. Since the carbon rod launcher was undamaged, we were able to carry it over here, and the overseas scientists are now setting it up so we can try the rod experiments once more... let's hope it works.
  126.  
  127. Inf1- The antimatter you controlled dodged the launched rod, the magnetic containment unit that was hit was destroyed and the replaced unit was weak enough for you to launch the antimatter into it, annihilating the facility... and then there's nothing. Just you, floating in space, a higher dimensional being being nothing but a point in the vast expanse. The galaxies are gone, and all you can really do is start from scratch. Hopefully it'll be faster this time.
  128.  
  129. I2 dShift1 - It's certainly faster this time. You linked yourself with the research laboratory quicker, and managed to undergo the control experiment much quicker. And maybe you'll be able to control something different this time...
  130.  
  131. I2 dShift2 - [Day 2, Experiment 0] Today the experiment was... faster than usual. The control experiment detected radiation after 100 nanoseconds, meaning the annihilation took place over that time. Today it was detected in 10 nanoseconds, a tenth of the time. We'll repeat the experiment to see if this trend continues.
  132.  
  133. I2 dShift3 - [Day 2, Post-Experiment] Each time we repeated the experiment, the annihilation reaction sped up. First it went down to 5 nanoseconds, then 2, then 1, then half a nanosecond... the reaction stopped decreasing in time at 100 picoseconds, a thousand times faster than it should have. Some of the interns are spending the night to check the equipment for faults... I hope there are some.
  134.  
  135. I2 dShift4 - [Day 3, Pre-Experiment] John, the intern, met up with me before we had a meeting and told me that the equipment was faulty. Specifically, the computer had a delay of 90 picoseconds, and that what we assumed was the decrements slowing down was the equipment at fault - we had actually stopped at 10 picosecond reactions. He predicted that it could've gone down to less than a picosecond with enough time... he's fixed it now so it should hopefully work... I dread the results.
  136.  
  137. I2 dBoost1 - [Day 3, Experiment 0] The reaction, thankfully, occurred at a normal time. It seems that the issue has been solved. However, instead of mutual annihilation, the antimatter seemed to have created a very, very small singularity. There's a constant detection of radiation, and it should've evaporated by now, but it has not. So, as a group the entire facility is staying behind to study what we should do with this black hole.
  138.  
  139. I2 dBoost2 - You've reached the limit of what you can do by simply condensing what you have on hand, an antimatter singularity, showing total control over this type of reaction. And because the reaction technically hasn't ended, you are unable to directly influence the singularity. However, speaking from experience, you feel like that may not be necessary...
  140.  
  141. I2 dBoost3 - [Day 4, Post-Experiment] Black holes are extraordinarily intriguing. We know light bends around it very heavily, which allows us to somewhat assume its strength and where the event horizon lies from what light is lost, and we spent the day predicting the qualities of the singularity. Hawking radiation is usually a good tell, but this may be misleading as we've never seen an antimatter black hole before, nor one that defies it. The chamber, however, can't be observed unless we open it, and we don't want to risk that yet.
  142.  
  143. I2 dBoost4 - [Day 5, Experiment 0] Today we tested the qualities of our supposed antimatter singularity. Matter was inserted into the chamber, and forcibly absorbed into the singularity with a slight increase in Hawking radiation which evaporated soon after. This suggests that it does not have an annihilation reaction, which is very intriguing. We'll try antimatter next.
  144.  
  145. I2 aGalaxy1 - They're now feeding a black hole with antimatter and matter to see what happens. It is kinda amusing, considering that no one has attempted to destroy the black hole. Their curiosity will probably be their downfall. Anyway, the last bunch of antimatter they put in was teleported to your location, where it made a nice antimatter galaxy. This will be really helpful, and maybe you can make more than 2 galaxies this time...
  146.  
  147. I2 dBoost5 - [Day 5, Post-Experiment] Inserting antimatter into the chamber had the same effect as inserting matter. We were stumped by this until the specialist from Australia arrived, delayed by an antimatter storm cloud, and told us that singularities were no more than alterations in space-time, with no noticeable difference between matter and antimatter versions, as they are neither. It's interesting, but kinda disappointing. He's taking over research now.
  148.  
  149. I2 dBoost6 - [Day 6, Post-Experiment] Freneza, our visitor from Broken Hill, has planned a long series of incredibly boring experiments. It's nothing like throwing matter at antimatter, but more reactions to certain alterations in environment. For example, he tampered with the magnetic resonance units to make it powerful, and jotted down the non-result. He reset the system, and then redid this. 20 times. It's all really, really boring. However, it seems like he knows what he's doing...
  150.  
  151. I2 dBoost7 - The new researcher is much more professional than anyone you've seen working at a facility like this. It's almost ridiculous the amount of care he puts into every action. It makes it a little harder to grow with him in charge, so your attention lies elsewhere. You have a long-term plan of some of the things you want to do in the future, paying no mind to the people on that planet.
  152.  
  153. I2 dBoost8 - [Day 8, Post-Experiment] Freneza finally suggested something more interesting than minor alteration of containment units - testing gravitational force by shooting objects alongside the singularity. Everyone accepted out of glee. However, instead of using our nanotube launcher, he set up an alpha particle emitter, and aimed it directly at the singularity to release a single particle. He then shut the emitter off and started testing for changes within the containment system...
  154.  
  155. I2 aGalaxy2 - That scientist launched a single alpha particle and went back to mild tampering of experimental conditions. Absolutely ridiculous. The particle, traveling at a speed much faster than you thought possible with their technology, collided with the first antimatter galaxy and caused it to split into 2 separate galaxies.
  156.  
  157. I2 dBoost9 - [Day 10, Experiment 0] Freneza showed up to work despite his mild hypothermia, which is to be expected if you're visiting Finland. We suggested a sauna visit but he declined. Anyway, still shivering, he asked us to take over the experiments this morning while he watched and took notes. John immediately pressed a button which launched a carbon nanotube into a stable orbit around the singularity, to the surprise of most of us. Except Freneza, who smugly smiled as if he planned all of this...
  158.  
  159. I2 dBoost10 - [Day 10, Post-Experiment] It turns out what John had set up was a repeatable experiment, and we made a game out of it - launching nanotubes in an orbit around the singularity until they collided and caused an orbital collapse. I, Abner, got a high score of 16 nanotubes, and we all agreed to write it down in our respective journals on this research. Except Freneza. The singularity is looking a little larger now, as not all of it has radiated away...
  160.  
  161. I2 dBoost11 - [Day 11, Pre-Experiment] Freneza seemed a little panicked upon the realization that the carbon nanotube game has left the singularity at a larger base value than it was before. He's almost going crazy, frantically adjusting the magnetic containment values to be stronger, testing computer safety and connections and making sure nothing was broken. He started laughing a little by the end of it, as well. I don't think anyone but me noticed. I'll keep an eye on him...
  162.  
  163. I2 dBoost12 - [Day 11, Post-Experiment] With Freneza in charge once more, the experiments returned to basic tampering of values. Today he repeated our earlier experiments of refracting light around it, in an attempt to analyze once more the strength of the black hole, now that it has grown slightly. He gave us all a list of updated values, before ending the experiments early and giving us a day off. Unusual. I stayed back in secret and am currently watching his actions, to see what he'll do with that caterpillar...
  164.  
  165. Inf2 - A small creature appeared next to you. You quickly focused your attention on it and destroyed it before looking around and... oh it's happened again. Everything's gone once more. Even the galaxies have disappeared again, and you must start from scratch, still floating in the infinite expanse of space.
  166.  
  167. I3 dShift1 - [Day 2, Post-Experiments] So the experiment haven't gone too well. It's taken less than a nanosecond for a reaction to occur, which is ridiculously smaller than what we expected. This is admittedly pretty bad, but it could be a lot worse. The backup experimental system, for example, seems to be working perfectly, as if it hasn't been noticed yet. It also means we can set up dual experiments between the labs. So it should be fine. However, no one else agrees with me...
  168.  
  169. I3 dShift2 - Your assimilation into the new research laboratory was almost instant. What's taking longer to get used to is the 2 teams (well, a team and a single scientist) working at the same time on the same experiment. And it seems that right now you can only interfere with one lab at a time.
  170.  
  171. I3 dShift3 - [Day 3, Post-Experiment] I continued to work on the backup system, alone, in an attempt to get some progress done. Every reaction is going smoothly, and all annihilation reactions are working as expected. This is in contrast to the other system, whose equipment is detecting smaller and smaller annihilation times. Amarantha told me that it was down to picoseconds when they gave up and called the equipment manufacturer to ask for a refund. She's thinking of joining my experiments, which would be nice...
  172.  
  173. I3 dShift4 - [Day 4, Post-Experiment] Everything on my end was normal. Until I heard Stephen yelling at the top of his lungs. So I rushed over there and saw a room full of chaos. A magnetic containment unit had been destroyed, as well as most of the safety barrier, but instead of flying at the scientists it was caught in a disk, slowly rotating in midair. Like a magnet. There was nothing stopping it from killing everyone... except my magnetic containment system, still running, in the same direction I came from. A supermagnetic antimatter disk. This'll be fun.
  174.  
  175. I3 dBoost1 - [Day 5, Post-Experiment] The scientists sent the word out and humble Crate Hill is now filled with scientists from other countries. Most of them are currently analyzing the so-called 'hypermagnet' which the original team have discovered, but one named Freneza with a thick Australian accent is relaying between both them and me. Apparently having the second experiment online saved their lives, but it's now contained within 2 layers of containment units and no one's really mentioning me accidentally saving their lives.
  176.  
  177. I3 dBoost2 - It seems that this will be harder than you expected. The second emergency lab accidentally prevented an early incident, and now the first lab has got much better security than you expected was possible. However, you do have a second starting slate you can manipulate, and the menagerie surrounding the first lab may prove troublesome. You hope.
  178.  
  179. I3 dBoost3 - [Day 7, Post-Experiment] As Amarantha is currently hanging out at the first lab, the only company I have is the typically silent Freneza, who decided to work with me. Well, when I say work, he basically just watches it and smiles awkwardly. Our antimatter experiments are still running as normal, and ordinary data is being input. Over on the other lab they're testing reactions with ordinary antimatter, which apparently turned that magnetic as well. Which means they have double the antimatter that they started with and it's reproducible. Interesting, but so wrong.
  180.  
  181. I3 dBoost4 - [Day 8, Pre-Experiment] Today a group from the other lab basically cornered me and constantly talked to me about their plans, which involved a constant manipulation of the magnet to make it rotate, in an attempt to generate electricity from a coil of antimatter - allowing us to make an antimatter power generator. I mean, it's very interesting, but I didn't really need to know about it. They probably wanted to recruit me to their lab, but it's much better for me to get additional data to confirm earlier results due to the other lab's... unusual circumstances.
  182.  
  183. I3 aGalax1 - The human's successful creation of an antimatter power generator, despite only generating electrons, is still fairly intuitive. You realize that you can also replicate this on your end, and a large-scale version allows you to pump electricity into a ball of antimatter to create a galaxy. This may be repeatable...
  184.  
  185. I3 dBoost5 - [Day 8, Post-Experiment] Their experiment was a resounding success, as I was told. Repeatedly. They produced proof of antimatter-generated electricity, and are all having a party. Meanwhile, we have issues with the nanotubes used to test ordinary antimatter. They keep avoiding total annihilation, and just break at the bonds. I can't tell an Intern to go buy new carbon nanotubes, so I had to go out and order some myself... they should get here tomorrow.
  186.  
  187. I3 dBoost6 - [Day 9, Post-Experiment] Freneza joined me in silence today as the new nanotubes were tested in a reaction. The new bunch I ordered were worse than the originals, falling apart before it even touched the antimatter. After watching this for a bit, he pulled out a spare container of nanotubes he stole from the other lab... which had the same issue. Trying the original batch I used also had the same effect. It's infuriating... We're working through the night to try and work out how to reinforce the nanotubes.
  188.  
  189. I3 dBoost7 - [Day 10, Post-Experiment] Turns out Freneza has a friend who moonlights as a materials specialist, and he gave us a set of reinforced carbon nanotubes. However, instead of falling apart on impact, the metal reinforcement caused it to be affected by the other lab's antimatter, rotating mid-deployment so the middle of the nanotube hit the antimatter when annihilating, causing a slightly different style of reaction. It would be much more interesting if we used this on the magnetic antimatter...
  190.  
  191. I3 dBoost8 - [Day 11, Pre-Experiment] We've decided to work with the magnetic laboratory today. However, the reason we're doing this isn't out of goodwill for their continuing successes, but to secretly try the reinforced nanotubes with the magnetic opponent. Already it is having a slight effect from either the magnetic resonance chamber or the antimatter, and it looks particularly unstable, so this may be fun to watch...
  192.  
  193. I3 aGalax2 - In the past, the reaction that had taken place was heavily restricted by the confines of the laboratory, disastrously so. However, out in the endless expanse of space, the inspiring dance of particles is beautiful in it's own way. The reinforced nanotube you replicated makes a beautiful sphere of black and gold to surround the antimatter, ornate in its design and constantly changing in satisfying patterns. It's a monument... and one you can run electricity through to accelerate the pattern.
  194.  
  195. I3 dBoost9 - [Day 11, Experiment 1] It was a disaster. The nanotube broke up in the deployment chamber, and acted as a scattershot of magnetic particles. These flung around the chamber, smashing into resonance units and almost bringing the entire laboratory down. With the few chambers that were left, the magnetic antimatter risked escaping containment. Freneza rushed over and turned the backup lab on, which has stopped it for now. Although I get a bad feeling about this...
  196.  
  197. I3 dBoost10 [Day 11, Post-Experiment] Someone now has to run the backup lab 24/7 to stop this calamity in process. It slowly inches away from the lab, taking anything magnetic with it. The size of the antimatter and the rotational spin prevents us from prematurely and safely detonating it, and all of the orbiting objects don't assist. I don't know how long we'll be able to hold off this disaster. The area is being evacuated, and we're simply working to buy a little bit more-
  198.  
  199. Inf3 - They ran out of time. A magnetic resonance unit opposing the push of the lab was damaged, causing it to launch forwards from the safety lab, and towards the fleeing population. Very few survived, and those that did wouldn't make it for very long afterwards... You close your eyes in rememberance, and open it to nothing once more. Time to make history again.
  200.  
  201. I4 dShift1 - Originally, before the universe reset, you didn't think everything would be this fast. There's an expectation that you would accelerate in growth, sure, but you didn't expect the researchers to follow your lead. The lab has taken on a fundamental change, becoming larger and with a huge underground portion, and it's still growing...
  202.  
  203. I4 dShift2 - The building of the laboratory in this universe is being delayed. Small tsunami in the area. Kinda funny how nothing goes to plan when you're around. Fortunately, the damaged equipment seems to have opened up a rift. Perhaps this may be useful...
  204.  
  205. I4 dShift3 - The rift led to a similar universe to this one, with one key difference - the earthquake that caused the tsunami didn't occur. The laboratory in this universe, as such, has been finished just yesterday. In comparison, the original universe's lab is being rebuilt from the ground up. You'll need to wait to see what happens next...
  206.  
  207. I4 dShift4 - [Day 1, Experiment 0]
  208. Pre-Experiment Equipment Diagnostics (PEED) - Successful, Satisfactory.
  209. TPS reports - Successful, Satisfactory
  210. Carbon Nanotube Cleaning - Successful, Satisfactory
  211. Antimatter Creation - Successful, Satisfactory
  212. Mutual Annihilation - Successful, Unsatisfactory (See below)
  213. Additional Notes - Antimatter annihilation was slightly more vigorous than expected. Estimated increase in reaction energy is 5%. Additional precautions have been suggested and implemented.
  214.  
  215. I4 dBoost1 - The only guy you found taking notes on the experiment was extraordinarily boring. He's the same guy in both universes as well. His writing is robotic, almost detached from reality, as if he isn't human. As before you can only adjust one lab at a time - and as original lab isn't finished yet - you'll have to deal with him for now.
  216.  
  217. I4 dBoost2 - [Day 2, Experiment 0] PEED - Successful, Satisfactory (See below)
  218. TPS reports - Successful, Satisfactory
  219. Carbon Nanotube Cleaning - Successful, Satisfactory
  220. Antimatter Creation - Successful, Satisfactory
  221. Mutual Annihilation - Successful, Unsatisfactory (See below)
  222. Additional Notes - The final diagnostic check was interrupted by a faulty shaft, causing it to halt prematurely. Rearrangement of shaft allowed PEED to finish Satisfactorily. Antimatter annihilation was again more vigorous then expected, still restricted to the containment measures put in place. Estimated increase is 15%
  223.  
  224. I4 dBoost3 - [Day 3, Experiment 0] PEED - Successful, Satisfactory
  225. TPS reports - Successful, Satisfactory
  226. Carbon Nanotube Cleaning - Successful, Satisfactory
  227. Antimatter Creation - Successful, Satisfactory (See below)
  228. Mutual Annihilation - Successful, Unsatisfactory (See below)
  229. Additional Notes - Antimatter creation created 5% more antimatter than usual. This was within experimental error. The Antimatter, once the experiment began, reacted with the containment methods put in place and almost escaped the chamber. Estimated increase is 50%. Antimatter seems to be requiring more matter to react at a 1:1.4 ratio. Containment measures require dramatic increase.
  230.  
  231. I4 dBoost4 - [Day 4, Experiment 0] PEED - Successful, Satisfactory
  232. TPS reports - Successful, Satisfactory
  233. Carbon Nanotube Cleaning - Successful, Satisfactory (see below)
  234. Antimatter Creation - Successful, Satisfactory (see below)
  235. Mutual Annihilation - Successful, Unsatisfactory (See below)
  236. Additional Notes - Carbon nanotube was shortened by 50% and antimatter created was reduced by 50% as a precaution. The smaller reaction revealed the ratio of matter-antimatter annihilation had once more increased, now residing as 1:1.6 required for a reaction, the amount of antimatter remaining in the heavily protected container as proof. It was safely annihilated later. Antimatter testing has been officially stopped as a precaution.
  237.  
  238. I4 aGalax1 - The antimatter this laboratory is creating is much weirder than usual. Studying the process they use allows you to replicate it, and then condense it into a galaxy - taking note of it's unique properties to propel yourself forward. Unfortunately, this universe's lab hasn't exactly understood the properties of the antimatter. You hope the other lab, linked to this universe, will.
  239.  
  240. I4 dBoost5 - [Day 96, Experiment 0] PEED - Successful, Satisfactory (See notes)
  241. TPS reports - Successful, Satisfactory
  242. Carbon Nanotube Cleaning - Successful, Satisfactory (See below)
  243. Antimatter Creation - Successful, Unsatisfactory (See below)
  244. Mutual Annihilation - Failure (See below)
  245. Additional Notes - After 3 months, the experiment has returned. A lot of the equipment has an uncomfortable amount of issues that needed to be fixed. Nanotube cleaning needed to be redone to prepare it properly, and was more difficult with the smaller nanotube. Antimatter creation aimed at 50% less than usual but ended up being 60%, outside of experimental error. The annihilation left almost 90% of the already deceased antimatter unreacted, and propelled uncomfortably close to the magnetic resonance unit. It seems impossible to safely annihilate with our current technology. The chamber has been left running to hopefully delay the catastrophe.
  246.  
  247. I4 dBoost6 - [Day 100, Experiment 0] PEED - Impossible (See below)
  248. TPS reports - Successful, Satisfactory
  249. Carbon Nanotube Cleaning - Impossible (See below)
  250. Antimatter Creation - Impossible (See below)
  251. Mutual annihilation - Failure (See below)
  252. Additional Notes - The antimatter escaped containment. Failure in the UPS due to deliberate tampering. Slowly, but surely, it's reacting across the Factory. As air rushes in through ventilation shafts, it slowly decreases in size, but the ratio of annihilation is 1:100 and still increasing. I'm still observing the slow destruction of the facility, and will make a note when it ends. The antimatter, as of writing this, has half decreased in size, and half the facility has been destroyed. I wonder which will stop first.
  253.  
  254. Inf4 - A somewhat disappointing end, when compared to last time. A slow, gradual destruction of the facility. The scientist escaping after a relatively large explosion, an arm torn off and eroded later. Constant recirculating of air allowed it to dissipate somewhat safely. The universe disappears with the last of the antimatter. However, before it disappears, you noticed the rift, still open. You return to the original universe, and find yourself outside of a massive laboratory. It's complete. Maybe you can give the researchers another shot.
  255.  
  256. I5 dShift1 - This new facility really is miraculous in comparison. The security measures are much stricter, it's built underground, and reactions are larger and can be controlled much easier, with data collection being perfectly optimized. You know in your heart this will be history repeating, although you wonder how it will change upon this cycle...
  257.  
  258. I5 dShift2 - Even as a multidimensional being, there are still thing that you notice only in hindsight. Most notably, despite that universe disappearing, the rift is still open. Time is still passing in that desolate universe, despite the end of it. And if this universe is still going, what of the others? Unfortunately, you're not patient enough to find out what happens at the end of eternity. You close the rift, lest it interfere. Maybe it can wait for another time.
  259.  
  260. I5 dShift3 - [Day 1, Experiment 0] Pre-Experiment Equipment Diagnostics (PEED) - Successful, Satisfactory.
  261. TPS reports - Successful, Satisfactory
  262. Carbon Nanotube Cleaning - Successful, Satisfactory
  263. Antimatter Creation - Successful, Satisfactory
  264. Mutual Annihilation - Successful, Unsatisfactory (See notes)
  265. Additional Notes - Antimatter Annihilation was more complex than expected. Total energy generated was 11.11% higher, and an anomaly was detected in that the reaction seemed to recur at a very small interval, only in a lesser intensity. We plan to examine the tapes tomorrow.
  266.  
  267. I5 dShift4 - [Day 2] Further analysis of the reaction dictated that around 10% of the antimatter, after it had reacted, reformed back into antimatter, ready to react again. In a situation with excess matter, like our experiment, this would allow infinite reactions until single atoms would be reacting and have a chance of reforming. We need to re analyze the experiment carefully to avoid possible complications.
  268.  
  269. I5 dBoost1 - [Day 3, Experiment 0] PEED - Successful, Satisfactory
  270. TPS reports - Successful, Satisfactory
  271. Carbon Nanotube Cleaning - Successful, Satisfactory
  272. Antimatter Creation - Successful, Satisfactory (See notes)
  273. Mutual Annihilation - Successful, Satisfactory (See notes)
  274. Additional Notes - Antimatter creation was normal. Predicted antimatter retention levels was 50%, so we prepared carbon nanotubes up to 2x the atomic count of the antimatter, in accordance with the converging geometric series. Both objects have been mutually annihilated and converted into twice the energy of normal. Preparing for 75% retention tomorrow.
  275.  
  276. I5 dBoost2 - [Day 4, Experiment 0] PEED - Successful, Satisfactory
  277. TPS reports - Successful, Satisfactory
  278. Carbon Nanotube Cleaning - Successful, Satisfactory
  279. Antimatter Creation - Successful, Satisfactory (See notes)
  280. Mutual Annihilation - Failure (See notes)
  281. Additional Notes - Antimatter creation was slightly greater than expected, but within experimental error. Predicted antimatter retention levels was 75%, so we prepared 4 carbon nanotubes of increased length. After reaction took place, three quarters of the antimatter still remained - a retention level of nearly 95%. Quickly firing another few nanotubes into the chamber only reduced the antimatter by 10% - reaching an even higher retention - and presumably still climbing. We immediately shut down the facility, and we're trying to bomb the antimatter out of existence by firing more nanotubes...
  282.  
  283. I5 dBoost3 - [Day 5] The antimatter is still contained, but barely. It is currently at 60% original capacity. We managed to slightly unseal the vacuum to let a small trickle of air in, but this is a very slow reaction process. It dropped considerably once we started, but now it only drops a quarter of a percent every couple of hours. To add insult to injury, the sealed facility also has a sealed air supply, and although there are plants to replenish oxygen, the oxygen content is slowly decreasing - which means we have a net loss of air- which means that slowly we may die from carbon dioxide poisoning. Or oxygen poisoning - I'm not sure what will happen first. It's better than running out of food or water, as there is plenty stocked... but that's not saying much.
  284.  
  285. I5 dBoost4 - [Day 7] An hour ago, one of the scientists cut through the uninterruptible power supply using a makeshift knife. We quickly disarmed him, tied him up and reconnected it, but the damage was done, and the antimatter escaped containment, slowly annihilating the facility. About 40% of it still remains, and as the retention ratio rises it will take more and more matter to properly wipe out. Most of us calculated that this scenario is impossible to survive. And so they made the least reasonable action we could. The UPS tamperer was placed in the projected path of some of the antimatter, and slowly annihilated. I don't think they realized that 100kg is nothing to a thousand-ton fortified concrete bunker. Meanwhile I've been trying to send Morse code through the bunker doors... they didn't respond to our knocking and pleas for help, but maybe they'll respond to a situation update...
  286.  
  287. I5 aGalax1 - [Day 9] I don't have a left arm anymore. It was sacrificed to the ever shrinking border by the supply group in trade for some more water. The bloody stump is only barely healing thanks to the bandages I stole when they weren't looking. I hope they don't find out. I've been banging on this door for 2 days now. I heard something once a while ago but I don't remember what it was. The facility is collapsing. Structural integrity is being annihilated by pure energy and the antimatter itself. Might've been that. There's still too much antimatter left... and there's no... oh Hevi. That's a ceiling tile. its in the ceiling oh no no n
  288.  
  289. Inf5 - They locked themselves in a facility with a piece of antimatter with retention of over 99% and they wondered why they died. It's a shame. You had higher hopes for that robot scientist, it seems that unlike the others he never gave up. Until the ceiling tile. To be fair, with that amount of blood loss... the antimatter continued in it's merry underground growth. The facility drained most of it - but enough was left to cause horrendously sudden sinkholes in the surrounding town. The town is doomed, and slowly the universe follows. Moving time.
  290.  
  291. I6 dShift1 - It's come to your attention that you're going to be running out of time soon. Everything is accelerating, and with each new universe comes a new laboratory. The issue is that less notable things are occurring each universe, and because of this it's becoming increasingly harder to continue. You'll prepare the change for next universe.
  292.  
  293. I6 dShift2 - [Day 100, Post-Experiment] It's been a hundred days since the ASTF (antimatter scientist training facility) was opened, and today, like all the other days, was a grand success. Simply repeating an experiment over and over again with no issues for training was a brilliant idea, and we've lasted longer than other facilities because of it. Nothing can go wrong if we ignore incorrect results and just keep doing our normal thing. We even bought a cake for the anniversary!
  294.  
  295. I6 dShift3 - On second thought maybe leaving the training facility alone is a good idea, and it'll be good to get it out of the way in preparation for next time. The rift that you used previously and closed would be very useful, but the issue is learning how to replicate that. Maybe you can save some resources and try to create it later.
  296.  
  297. I6 dShift4 - There doesn't seem to be a direct correlation between time where you are located and time at the laboratories. Indeed, time itself seems to warp unpredictably whenever you try to observe it, as if it's trying to avoid your power. Years pass in seconds and hours feel like an eternity. Harnessing this force could also be useful... but no matter what you try, time is unpredictable. At least, for the moment, it tends to be faster.
  298.  
  299. I6 dBoost1 - The creation of the rift is possible, but the utilization of said rift is difficult. You can create a rift here, but contact with antimatter is cut off upon passing through, so you don't know what lies beyond. Your best bet is to test with something slightly more intelligent - an antimatter galaxy. Perhaps this will help you study the flow of time even more carefully.
  300.  
  301. I6 dBoost3 - It seems that you can't make another monument so easily. Time needs to pass, and some goal needs to be achieved. Maybe it's a form of personal fulfillment you didn't know about, maybe it's the laws of the universe. You already experienced first hand the inability of direct personal growth, but this just seems even more cruel. Another roadblock.
  302.  
  303. I6 aGalax1 - The time has arrived. You create a beautiful monument, shining in gold and devoid in black, and slowly but carefully nudge it towards the rift. Well, first you admired it for some time. It's been a while since you came up with how to create this... It goes through the rift and nothing occurs. Back to the drawing board?
  304.  
  305. Inf6 - With that failed experiment, it seemed that all hope was lost. This was until the borders of the rift seemed to warp in on themselves, turning the universe inside out, and repeating what you did to yourself so long ago for a scrap of power. And then... you see it. A vast expanse through the swirling rift, as it slowly warps itself into the fabric of time and disappears. It seems the sacrifice of your monument wasn't in vain.
  306.  
  307. Inf7 dShift1 - Your temporary problem has been solved. Utilizing a rift between universes and warping time itself can allow you to remain here as time is rewritten. For now, this means that time is going to be much harder to manipulate, but as a result you can spend more than a universe on a single avenue of research, greatly increasing your growth in this direction. But you turn your attention to the laboratory and... it's ruined. You immediately make sure it's not your fault, and then notice the notes left behind - thankfully from the same guy as last time.
  308.  
  309. Inf7 dShift3 - [Year 2] The first graduates of the ASTF have finished their 2 year course, and as such are ready to go to a more advanced site, wherever that is. This batch of students are absolute geniuses, honestly. The only thing that has stopped them from reinventing the study of antimatter as we know it is the strict rules put in place to prevent more accidents from changing experimental protocol. I'll discuss with those in charge to see if I can change this. The half-trained batch and future students would enjoy freedom, even a little.
  310.  
  311. Inf7 dBoost1 - [Year 3] With the board recently loosening the types and sizes of carbon nanotubes available for reactions, the experiment results have changed dramatically. We can act as an experimental proving ground for minor variations to produce more useful data, and it shows. As such, this batch has a higher focus on material design then the all-rounders of last year - most of whom are making names for themselves around the world. We'll need to expand the facility next year because of this new-found popularity...
  312.  
  313. Inf7 dBoost3 - [Year 4] The expanded facility has allowed experiments to become vastly more complex. Dual-nanotube experiments, for example, are now almost commonplace - a feat which few facilities, even world-class, can replicate. Because of this, the batch of students have come out with prowess in theorizing and creating new experiments, which allows new possibilities in both data collection and uses of antimatter. The most recent bunch of students aren't as groundbreaking as the first batch, but they're still above the norm. So, what will the next batch be like?
  314.  
  315. Inf7 aGalax1 - [Year 5] Over the summer break, a group of past graduates, mixed between years, managed to create a theoretical method to produce energy from antimatter in a relatively productive matter - as well as a simplified manner of creation which can be used in conjunction with this technique to produce antimatter. The energy is still inefficient compared to thorium reactors, and somehow more unstable, but it allows antimatter creation on a wide scale. And the new graduates are masters at this art - some even improving the efficiency noticeably. This group, above the others, will be role models to look up to.
  316.  
  317. Inf8 - There's a couple more entries in the diary of a similar vein, depicting graduates with various specialities, which you can see in the heavily retrofitted facility you're reading the diary in. With a sigh, you close your eyes as the missiles hit once more, leaving the facility a desolate mess, as you last saw it outside of your simulation. There's information about the lead up to this war, but nothing about the war. In fact, it seems multiple countries chose this place, in a small triangular island, to mutually destroy before waging war.
  318.  
  319. Inf8 dShift1 - You may not be able to rewind time - yet - but using the slowly proceeding war on this planet to read through records and simulating the rest, you get a general idea of what's happened. With the generalized scientists managing to get their own small team at various super-nations, they went to work on naturally what was needed most, weapons. The next speciality being material research, they were naturally drafted into these groups. This was enough expertise for 'Pupil' (a little weird to name a science lab after a human aperture) to create the dual antimatter building (DAB) method.
  320.  
  321. Inf8 dBoost1 - A missile goes off near the library you're reading in. A regenerator antimatter, at 85% efficiency (and climbing), you guess. Fearsome. Will need some cleanup. Returning to the hypothesis, the next group would be the experiment creators, latching onto the DAB methodology (or accidentally recreating it) with no real progress without another innovation. The generalists, however, would have a rudimentary missile ready, and a nice testing spot to plonk it at. An old abandoned mine would be perfect.
  322.  
  323. Inf8 aGalax1 - The missile chews through the surroundings, slowly accelerating - unusual since you slowed it down to watch the... nothingworks. Yeah, that's it. Energy specialists would give every hidden weapons lab a new burst of energy, increasing generation and opening up more charged missiles and therefore missiles that rival ICBMs (and various shorter-range offshoots). With this... you hit a mental blank. How would MAD be broken to start this? The antimatter reaction speeds up, as you think... Yr 6 was exotic. Exotic would be wide ranging in power, and give effects like regenerating and magnetic and... nullification. A missile approaches, in exponential speed. Anti-Exotic nukes on home soil. Without any need to worry about exotic consequences... we can war.
  324. Pfft. Radio silence.
  325.  
  326. Inf9 - The humans claimed that death came with perfect clarity. You could see anything that led up to your demise in a cruel twist of fate, either pitying your misery or mocking your inevitable demise. A 7th dimensional probe, then, with no knowledge of this war would be strong enough to trigger this in death... how unfortunate his clarity was already known. He wasn't even totally correct with some of the earlier assumptions - the experimental scientists at White Valley came up with energy generation first to allow Yr 4 antimatter testing - it's too expensive otherwise for most nations. It's a shame your probe is now 'inert' antimatter, indistinguishable from the previous regenerator... although I suppose that's a good thing. Annihilation is always fun to watch...
  327.  
  328. Inf9 aGalax1 - Ironically the destruction of the accidental war machine academy living on that triangular island doesn't seem to have stopped any technological innovation. In fact, it's getting more ridiculous. Magnetic missiles are now used quite often as protectors for more destructive missiles - a layer of metal (and some of the concrete surrounding it) protects against nullification. Alternatively, anti-anti-exotic missiles. Rogue nations come into being with an antimatter football, punt it at the nearest offending goal post and disappear as they chant at the inevitable. The world starts to crack open, and no one seems to truly care. War, for a split second, is perfected for it's purpose instead of exploited for technology, and they all fall down.
  329.  
  330. Inf10 - I know I got all metaphorical (and badly) for a second, but that last part? I meant that literally. They destabilized their own planet out of orbit, only returning with the accidental crash into some NEA, and the moon, followed by extinction from said collisions... although they weren't far off from that Alaxexis 99.9% regenerator missile battery doing it for them. Oh well. You create a monument of remembrance for the follies of mankind when left unchecked, and move on. Perhaps your interference, though maniacal, isn't the worst option?
  331.  
  332. Inf11 - Whatever it is, it's probably better to limit your visits now. When you leave, progress seems to keep going, and it speeds up even if you lose track of time. There's no need to compulsively check for each minor improvement in the DAB methodology or a minor structuring fault causing a lab collapse. With that war for studying, you're above it now. Maybe even individual humans are beyond your need for viewing.
  333.  
  334. Inf12 - Something does compel you to check up in them. An attractive force to seeing the progress of the stupidest creatures you've ever known attempt and fail to manipulate antimatter. Without even doing anything, a new world creates an antimatter lab, becomes extraordinarily close to the truth of it all... and is shut down due to governmental funding issues. How long enlightenment would've taken is a mystery, but with the talent they gathered it's not a matter of if - but when.
  335.  
  336. Inf13 - And you spoke too soon. Of the original scientists involved in this new lab - the intern was hit by a bus, the religious convert was struck by lightning, the thief was killed in a hostage situation, the carefree died when a bungee cord snapped, the exile died in self-imposed exile, the robot died of a natural heart attack... and Freneza, the madman, and the cause of it all, was arrested. You can't tell if this is a good thing or not, if he survives.
  337.  
  338. Inf14 - You're keeping a close eye on that mad Australian. Well, someone has to, and you don't trust that those who arrested... no, captured him. They've given him a small lab and mostly left him to his own devices, as the world marches on. You hope he doesn't mind his interdimensional prison guard, it's for his own good.
  339.  
  340. Inf15 - Once more, you're not entirely sure whether this is a good thing or not, but Freneza is simply following the same routine that the antimatter facility did. His plan is to perform repetitive experiments for almost a year, presumably to throw his captors off - but you don't have that much patience. You hold a rift open to this world, and time wraps around it at the imperceptible scale it always has as another universe falls. Oh, the power you'll have if you can ever control it properly... but you'll need countless eternities to master it.
  341.  
  342. Inf17 - You dozed off for a bit, and had a dream... well, more of a nightmare. Imagining that a planck length, as named by humans, is the smallest unit of measurement - why? Because of you run a photon over said planck length, a universe forms at the start, expands towards the middle, then crunches at the end and disappears, to move to the next planck length. All constants are changed in this new universe, and there are countless in this universe alone. Of course... this means that your universe may be one of them... how scary.
  343.  
  344. Inf19 - How scary, and how utterly pointless. The DINAA concept, as you badly name it, is futile in the grand scheme, as you can end and start universes not on a whim, but in your own time. So how does that work? What happens to the photon above it, does it just disappear? Oh, no, you're falling into the trap again. You mull in silence, and dull your thoughts, as Freneza notes down his 140th day of chucking nanotubes at antimatter.
  345.  
  346. Inf21 - The DINAA concept seems to be similar to a robot meeting a paradox for you, an infestation of the mind, unshakeable but world changing, implausible but certain, and certainly the stupidest concept you've ever seen. You write it down to get it out of your thoughts, encoded on the surface of a black hole in the center of a monument, and hide it among the trillions of other monuments. You'll never see it again.
  347.  
  348. Inf23 - In a moment of madness you smash to the monument you hid the information on. Just to update it with new possibilities, mind you, you're not looking at the grand majesty of it. How fortunate that you forgot to forget the monument it was hiding it, you only had to smash a couple of million. Yep, that's comprehensive, you put it back where it was and go watch Freneza some more. This is boring.
  349.  
  350. Inf25 - Wait what the fuck did you do. You go over your thoughts again... and it returned to DINAA again. Damn it. It's like a mind virus, somehow plaguing you across dimensions, unable to be truly exiled. You go to check up on said monument to madness, and it's filled with some indecipherable scratchings that exude a power on your level but betray powerlessness beyond what you thought possible with your abilities. Kind of like universe tier... stop it. Go back to work.
