Day 001: Project commences,
I, Doctor Ivo Robotnik, have finally come to a conclusion on how to defeat my nemesis, Sonic the Hedgehog. Whenever my greatest robotic creations have that pesky blue rodent cornered, he always uses those Chaos Emeralds to defeat me. My plan begins with this little object, a shard collected from the master emerald shrine along with a piece of its power.
Day 023:
At long last I've got a shard of a chaos emerald, the crimson emerald one to be precise. I'm finally one step closer to creating a new emerald, one with the combined strength of all the others and control over them. Though one of my Misslewrist robots was taken to the scrapheap by Sonic, but he doesn't suspects a thing.
Day 029:
Can you believe it, a chaos emerald was on display at a jewelry store, and all I had to do was buy it with counterfeit money, chip a piece off, and then return it with the receipt the next day. Though I sent one of my robots to steal it back, so Sonic would think it was the same old routine. Everything is going according to plan.
Day 032:
Was this my lucky day or what? Sonic found two chaos emeralds, and while my robots and a robotic copy of myself had him distracted, I added another two shards for my collection.
Day 059:
After lots of careful planning and a little elbow grease, I managed to get shards of the three remaining emeralds within the contents of a military base. I'm still laughing about how after all that fuss the military assumed nothing was taken. Hah! Now the real fun begins.
Day 075:
No matter what I try, the shards won't to fuse together. I've been searching the archives of my grandfather, "Professor Gerald Robotnick," and during his days in, "Project Shadow," he accidentally created a special substance which he used to bring the project to life. According to his notes, this Liquid chaos as he called it, was made of several discarded chemicals, fused with radio waves and excess energy of the chaos emeralds. I happen to be familiar with the substance, and feel confident I can recreate it. If this liquid chaos helped grandfather complete Project Shadow, then maybe it can help me in my venture.
Day 083:
I've done it! With some experimentation and a few casualties, I've created the liquid chaos. When I placed it with the emerald shards overnight, my new emerald started to grow. Now I'll be able to defeat Sonic, once and for all!
Day 091:
The growth is progressing nicely, however I've been getting some strange readings from the incubator. A strange vibration has been detected on my monitoring systems. The rhythm is, almost like a heartbeat. I'm not one to sweat the small stuff, but this new development worries me.
Day 103:
The emerald has almost finished growing. It's good thing Sonic didn't discover my project when he barged in here. Apparently curiosity and a hint of paranoia made that blue rat, barge right into my headquarters. I've still got some construction-bots working on the dent he made in the door of my storage chamber. But, what was really embarrassing is that when Sonic barged in, he opened my bathroom door to find me still using the facilities. I may be an evil genius, but I do have a right of privacy to do my business. This will make my victory over him all the more enjoyable. However, that strange vibration has been increasing speed. It's more frequent know and seems to be stronger.
Day 104:
You know those times when things don't go the way you plan. Well I've had plenty of those moments, but this one was is rather unique. I was tinkering with a few circuit boards in the lab, and an alarm went of in the incubation chamber. When I arrived something was happening with the emerald. I could actually feel that strange vibration, which was faster and more intense that before. The emerald began to change shape, and there was a blinding flash of light. When I regained sight, what I saw in the tank wasn't an emerald, but some type of hedgehog, or at least it looked like one. That strange vibration soon returned to a regular tempo, like a regular heartbeat. That's when it hit me, it was a heartbeat. I theorize that Sonic must of used the chaos emeralds so much, that some traces of his life energy became attached to the said emeralds that I chipped pieces off. So after sometime in the incubator with the liquid chaos, the three separate forces merged together and with the life energy originally from a blasted hedgehog, thus transforming my former project into the form it has now. The new emerald must have somehow gained a consciousness, and for some reason created a body around itself.
Day 105:
I've relocated the creature to a more secure lab inside the base, so that I may study and observe the creature knowing that neither Sonic nor any of his friends can get to it and release it. I'm still getting that same steady heartbeat it had since yesterday, so the creature is stable. However, I'm not sure what to do as if this moment, so I'm afraid I can't release the creature just yet. There are too many possibilities of what could happen, joining my forces or otherwise. Besides, it's potential is completely unpredictable. Even if it is as powerful as Sonic, if not more powerful, it's still uncertain where its loyalty would lie. It could remain completely loyal and faithful to me, betray me and befriend Sonic, or even be hostile to both of us. Until I arrive at a solution, I shall keep the creature in suspended animation, and of course keep it hidden from Sonic and his friends. I just hope that what I created, isn't something man was never meant to tamper with.
