I find myself coming back to the same theme the past few days. Chaos is winning. First a train was nearly derailed in a vain effort to capture me like I was some sort of tech they could control. Then an airship was brought down, killing several people, for unknown reasons. Now a highly advanced robot brings down skyscrapers, killing thousands, with barely a thought. Just to get a magic cube they sold or gave to someone else for another unknown reason.
Regardless of the reasons, there were 37 better ways someone with that power could have had found and attempted to retrieve the cube from us. Instead they chose an incredibly chaotic path that resulted in the death of thousands. I feel confident in my decision to not just hand it over and save most of those people though. I made a calculated decision that if we handed over the cube, there was a 95% chance that even more individuals would perish because of it. Also a 20% chance that if we handed the cube over the robot would have killed us and as many individuals as it could on the way out anyways. My decisions were logical, his were not. Yet still I feel like he won.
The Dr. seems just as troubled by this as I do. He stares at the cube as we ride. It might be best to investigate the cube's affect on him once we get to our destination. Jaxion is also bothered by todays events exponentially more than the events on the train. I think he feels the same as I do, that even though we still retain the cube and are all still functioning, we still lost. Lux is somber but still in better spirits than the rest of us. I'm not sure if they are seeing this as an opportunity and gains resolve from these events? Or something else. I calculate about a 10% chance Lux is secretly a highly trained spy.
The rest of my thoughts on today will be encrypted as they contain sensitive data on my analysis of the subject.
