8/26

I don't care that they kicked me out. I'm better off without Phillips and his ego problems suffocating the lab. There's gotta be something I can do, something I can make. I can still help her. I just want her to smile again. For once, just let me make something worthwhile.

8/28

OK, so maybe I didn't think this through. I don't got much to work with out here. Calloway's got my other toolkit last I checked, and nobody's seen him in years. Gonna have to do it by hand. (Dr. Pineda cracks his knuckles.)

8/31

Damn slugs eatin' my garden. Fat yellow bastards. Can't they see I'm busy here?

9/1

Well, I managed to get ahold of Velasquez, and she was able to get me an old sample of that shelved cell project I did back in the day. Thought they torched all that when they booted me. Not complaining, of course, but now I owe her twice.

9/2

OK, good, the little fellas are still viable. I should be able to work out the old kinks no problem. Then I'll just need a template.

9/3

This morning those damn slugs came back, chewing on the petunias. Those are her flowers, you bastards! Leave her alone!

9/4

Something's off about those slugs outside, I know it. Can't put my finger on it, but it's like they're waiting for me when I come outside. Or something. I need a new hobby after all this, clear my head.

9/5

OK. The good news is that the cells work like they used to. The bad news is that they work like they used to.

9/12

THIS IS THE LAST STRAW, SLUG! Gah! Let's see how you like it.

9/15

Congratulations, slug. You've finally managed to do some good in this world, for once.

9/29

OK, I admit. Using the slug as a template was stupid. But it looks like it's working, so score one for being short-tempered.

10/5

I'm gonna have to test this myself. Don't want the men in black coming after me if I turned some mailman into a slug monster. We all remember what happened last time…

10/7

Well, slug, you're as useless as ever. Back to the drawing board.

11/14

Why the hell is it stuck to me? Next thing you know it'll try to take over my brain like some crappy sci-fi movie. Got it out, but that hurt like hell.

12/2

Third time's a charm, right?

12/5

The slug exploded. Not even sure how I did that one.

12/11

Alrighty. This one was good, but I think it starved to death. Need to fix that, since their mouths seal up during the process. Hey, why don't these things have faces afterwards anyway? Okay, think, which one is easier to fix?

12/24

SUCCESS! Oh, Merry Christmas to me! Seriously, this is great. She's going to love this. Who would've thought a slug would do the trick?

12/25

I feel great today. Like I'm light as a feather, walking on clouds. Or however that saying goes. I think there's still room for improvement, though. Needs a little more oomph.

12/30

OK, version 26. Or 27? I can't remember. I wrote it down somewhere around here. We're getting close, I can feel it.

1/4

I'm still hungry. And I just had a big breakfast too, was the weird thing. I'mma grab a bite to eat after I test this next one.
