Journal Entry: July 14

What. An awful. Week.

First Li and I get on the wrong side of a psychotic alternate. THEN Ivy gets some sort of ludicrous LOL that gives her all the symptoms of pregnancy in maybe a tenth of the normal time she SHOULD have it. NOW I've apparently got two "kids" running around that are some sort of clone hybrid of Edgeworth and I -- and to top it off, GANT may be behind this bullshit somehow, and using Ivy's LOL to set it off. I don't even know how the hell he could've done it. He's got no access to that sort of technology...

Gant. Christ. He's getting along way too well with that creepy boss of Georik's, and he's got a GODDAMN PIN. I don't think I could have a bigger feeling of foreboding if I TRIED. Nexus sucks.

Gant?

A genuine sociopath who managed to weasel his way to Chief of Police by lying, cheating and murdering. If he hadn't screwed up when he had, he'd STILL be chief, and still have the Prosecutor's Office under his thumb. Except he's been in the Nexus lately, and is definitely up to no good.

Is the Gant in the Nexus still powerful?

Not from a physical sense, but his power usually came from his ability to manipulate and deceive. The sort of guy who knows how to push buttons, you know? That said, he's hardly a God or anything.

We're not an especially manipulable community, just generous. He'll know where to stop, and if he doesn't, he'll be reminded he's risking more than 'career'.

 Sounds like things are getting difficult for you.

Just hang in there a little longer, you'll figure out the truth soon enough. And try to avoid getting kidnapped anymore, will you? It's rather bothersome hearing about it from another person.

Here's hoping. I have no idea what the rat bastard is up to, but the idea of there being two of them -- and that they have PINPOINTS, for crying out loud -- is making it hard to sleep at night. Ivy's gonna keep the kids, she said, even knowing what they actually stemmed from. I'll do what I can to support her, but I feel really guilty she's had this happen because of someone from MY past, and I'm sure Edgeworth is probably feeling the same. You'll have to meet them, though; they're actually pretty sweet kids in spite of the brain-breaking nature of their origin. *sigh* Yeah, yeah, I know, running gag of the century. "HEY, LET'S SNAG THAT PHOENIX GUY, HE'S WUSSY ENOUGH." Makes you wonder if someone up there has a really sick sense of humor. But I've got some critter Cynthia let me adopt, and Otto's working on something that'll prevent unwanted PINs. So hopefully that'll be an end to THAT bullshit. Are you doing all right? I want you to know that I'm behind you all the way no matter what you have to do.

...Anything and everything. I'm surprised that you're shocked by them having PINPoints, since those devices are easy to attain in the Nexus. Maybe Otto and the others can find a way to disable their PIN's eventually.

...Maybe in the future I will. Depending on if I can handle it or not. 

There must be something about you that attracts the kidnappers. Don't ask me why, but I still like the idea of someone putting a chip on you so you're tracked even without a PIN.

...

Maybe. That's really the problem with PINs; they're really accessible, so that means pretty much ANYBODY can have them, whether they really ought to or not. I'm not sure how they could be disabled, but at least I know they can't PIN into my apartment at night or anything. (Thank Eiko for that one.) Heh. Well, they'll probably spring themselves on you at some point anyway. They're both kinda handfuls. Just be warned. Maybe. Could just be the fact I'm a regular guy living in the middle of weirdness. And... a chip? No offense, Mia, but I don't think I like the idea of people knowing exactly where I am at all times. It's a little too Big Brother, safety or otherwise. I mean, think of the lack of privacy. Um, anyway, yeah. We'll talk when you come back. Probably will have a lot to discuss anyway.

Well, I guess solving the Gant problem will take a lot more effort than expected.

I'll try to be prepared when the time comes then.

None of us are 'regular', now that we've discovered the Nexus. The chip was actually Otto's idea, and I just thought it was a rather good thought. I mean, considering how much you get kidnapped, and then...Never mind though. You have a very good point, Wright.

...I'm just shocked that you figured out it was me so quickly.

((That's because the mun is an illiterate moron who apparently fails at comprehending the word "anonymous." Uh, uh, uh, TIME TO BULLSHIT >_<))

EVERYTHING with Gant takes effort. Yeah, um, it'd just be weird. But like I said, he's working on SOMETHING, so hopefully that'll put an end to matters. Well, I just sort of hazarded a guess, to be honest. Couldn't think of anybody else who'd express annoyance at my constant state of, um, kid...nappedness. Um, yeah. Anyway, I've worked with you long enough.

((Har har, that's what I figured. I had a back-up idea planned if you didn't notice XD))

...

Yes, we have worked too long together, if you can tell it's me througha simple little box of text. Anyways, Wright, I guess I'm not sure what to say to you right now.

Maybe...maybe it's best that we talk face to face sometime over this.

...

We picked a terrible night to try to talk.

As for Gant, there should be a way to block convicted criminals from using PINpoints.

No kidding. Ugh.

You'd think, but then half the Nexus wouldn't be able to use PINs. Including Otto. Just... ugh. Let's hope that system Otto's working on is finished soon.

...Oh, right.

Yes, me too. Any sort of obtained power that Gant gets his disgusting hands on needs to be interrupted as soon as possible.

Definitely. What the hell is he up to, anyway...

Just be careful. Try to avoid wandering off by yourself, alright?

Yeah, yeah. I know, basic security and all that. Believe me, I'm using my PIN to get around a LOT more than I used to.

Oh, my. That is quite unsettling.

Your week has been weighed down with enough troubles, and it pains me to know that Bruno has contributed to them.

It.. is rather unfortunate that he found the Sanctuary to begin with. As if myself and Georik do not see him enough at work..

How are you faring, by the way?

Hey St. Germant. I'm... managing, I guess, despite all the attempts this week to derail me into doing otherwise. I'm sorry your resignation wasn't accepted; that Bruno strikes me as a real bastard, especially now that I've had the dubious pleasure of putting him side-by-side with Gant. You should probably be careful around the guy too. If he's actually got an ally, this doesn't really bode well at all for either you or Georik.

That is wonderful to hear. About your well-being, anyway.

Ahh.. That is my mistake, unfortunately. I was careless and did not research the proper requirements ahead of time. I am stuck with my project for a bit longer.

I wish it was not so difficult for me to stand up against Bruno, though.

I understand, although I am more worried about Georik than myself. Georik works with him all day: I only report back to Bruno, and then leave him to return to my laboratory.

Guys like that do tend to be hard to stand up to. Gant wasn't Chief of Police for two years for nothing. Don't feel too bad about it. But keep an eye on him. I wouldn't be surprised if he's got something nasty up his sleeve.

It was almost like watching a man interact with a funhouse mirror with those two, it is strange enough much of their personality is similar, but their appearance....

No doubt they are up to something, but what?

I don't know, but I want to find out pronto. Especially after this whole deal with the children. I'm really worried about this.
