Science Log 002,
W.
Hello, Gaster here. I just had the best first day a male Monster could ever ask for! I have a new science partner and not only is she female but she has vast intelligence on many topics!
Her name is Herman Riverwise and I promised to myself that I shall help everyone to see her vast intelligence, I don't intend on letting her down.
Anyway I'm going to do some research on either the Man Who Speaks In Hands or Teleportation Magic and discover what I can on either topic.
Until I find a lead, I shall stay in the Royal Library and read on these topics. I shall update this Log when I do.
- Gaster Out.

{It was early morning in the Underground and Gaster was in for an early shift, he wanted to find out what he could about 1 of 2 topics.
The Man Who Speaks In Hands or Teleportation Magic, which ever topic he choose he planned on getting as much useful data as possible.}
W.D.G: Alright, it's time to buckle down and get some serious research done. [Sighs] I hope Herman won't be mad that I started without her.
{With a final sigh, Gaster left his shared lab and took to the Royal Library.}
...At the Royal Library...
W.D.G: [Sighs blissfully] It's amazing in here! So many books and yet there could be so much more. [Shakes head] Okay Wingding stop nerding out and concentrate, you need to find... Herman!?
{There, at a table not too far off, was Herman. She seemed to be reading a book and completely in her own little world. It was unbelievable! Herman was here too, what were the odds in that!?}
(Gaster walks towards her table and sits down next to her.)
W.D.G: [Gently coughs] Herman?
H: Hmmm? Oh Wingding, I didn't realise you were here.
W.D.G: Why are you here Herman?
H: I'm just reading up on the ancient history of our people, what are you doing here?
W.D.G: I was planning on doing some research on The Man Who Speaks In Hands, do you want to join me?
H: Of course I do! However do you know where to find such a book?
W.D.G: No, I'm going to ask the Librarian and see if they know.
. . .
W.D.G: Excuse me, can I have a moment of your time?
Froggit: [Translated] Of course, how can I be of service?
W.D.G: Do you have any books on the Old Myth?
Fr: Which old myth? There are quite a few of them.
W.D.G: [Whispers] The one that concerns The Man Who Speaks In Hands.
Fr: [Long gasp] That myth? My God, are you sure you want that one?
W.D.G: Yes.
Fr: Very well, please wait here while I fetch it for you.
/A few minutes later/
Fr: [Lays a dusty book on the counter] Here you are, would you like to purchase this or borrow it?
W.D.G: Purchase please.
Fr: Very well, that'll be 20G please.
W.D.G: Hmmm, not as bad as I thought. [Reaches into his coat and pulls out 20G] Here you go.
Fr: Thank you for your time. [Hands over book]
...Back with Herman...
H: Did you find anything?
W.D.G: Indeed! They had this book and allowed me to buy it.
H: That's great! Let's see what we can find out about this mysterious man.
W.D.G: Agreed.

CHAPTER ONE
Many years ago there was a Monster by the name of Cerberus; he was a religious being and believed in a Higher Power. He was well known for bringing the many Tribes together into now what is known as: The Underground.
One day, however, Cerberus received a message from "The Higher Power". He was told to carve a prophecy in which shall make lives of all magical Monsters easier, it said:
Many years from now a male Monster shall be born; his purpose shall be to travel into The Void and learn the language of Hands.
Then the Man Who Speaks In Hands shall come back into this realm and bare a son of his own. This child shall be born with the ability to Teleport thus being the only source of pure Teleportation Magic.
Cerberus then wrote this message into the very walls of the Catacombs, so that future generations shall know of this important message.

W.D.G: That's all it says, the other pages are either too torn or too blotchy to make any sense of.
H: Well at least we got some information about The Man Who Speaks In Hands.
W.D.G: True, now we can make some collective theories on the matter at hand.
H: Okay, shall we go back to our lab or should we stay here and read on it some more?
W.D.G: I think that the Lab will be more practical, that way we can conduct experiments if necessary.
H: Very well, let's go to back Lab.
...Back at the Lab...
W.D.G: Alright Herman; we got the book, we can now continue with theorizing. Hopefully we can pin down the main cause behind teleportation magic.
H: Yes; hopefully we can figure something out before the King checks on us in 4 days, not including the weekend.
W.D.G: Herman, do you want the honours of presenting your theory first?
H: If you don't mind me going first then I'd love to!
W.D.G: Alright, so what have you got?
H: [Walks over to where the camera, from the Night before, was standing and turned it on] Cam Theory 001.
The ancient history books told us that teleportation magic is very rare, but it's possible for it to be located. This has told me that due to the present day population of Monsters, the possibility of at least one of them having this ability is almost doubled.
My theory is this: 7 out of 400 Monsters will have the ability to use teleportation magic. To back up this theory I shall explain how I figured out this ratio.
Todays population of Monsters is exactly: 3,200,208. And there are also 5 main places within the Underground; The Ruins, Snowdin, Waterfall, Hotlands and The Core.
Within each area has at least 20 inhabitants, meaning that if we were to divide the Monster population we have currently by the amount of Monsters in an area we get: 160,010.4.
If we divide this number twice more by 20 we get: 400.026 but rounded up its 400. Okay so we now count the amount of times we divided our population by 20, it was 3 times so now we have this: 6.666666667. Round it up and it goes to 7. So 7 out of 400 Monsters will have teleportation magic.
Herman Riverwise Out.
(She clicks the stop button and the video feed ends.)
W.D.G: Hmmm; not a bad theory Herman, I can see why you were in the Library before me now. To study math am I correct?
H: [Smiles and flushes] Yes, I'm sorry that I lied to you about it. I didn't want you to judge me for being a math nerd as well as a science nerd.
W.D.G: [Smiles back] I'd never judge you for enjoying mathematics and besides that doesn't make you a nerd, if you're anything you're beauti- I mean intelligent. Very well educated and intelligent yes that's what I meant. [Thinks] I'm doomed! Nice going Wingding, now she's going to hate your none existant guts!
H: Aww thank you, that's very sweet of you to say Wingding. So what's your theory?
W.D.G: [Blinks in surprise] What? Oh right! [Coughs and walks over to the camera, pressing the start button once there] Cam Theory 002.
My theory revolves around the Old Myth and The Man Who Speaks In Hands.
Firstly, the Old Myth.
The Old Myth says that "A child shall be born with the ability to use teleportation magic", meaning that in the future generations a child shall be blessed with this unique gift. However it also states that it "Has to be handed down from generation to generation".
Secondly, The Man Who Speaks In Hands.
This prophecy is one of the more confusing puzzles that scientists have yet to figure out, it says that he is taken into The Void to learn the language of Hands only to return to bare a son.
It makes no sense. How can one man, or Monster in our case; journey to The Void, come back alive and bare a gift-wielding son? How in the name of science does that even work!?
Anyway my theory is this: The definition of teleportation is to get to one place to another instantly, all we have to do is figure out what both the Old Myth and the legend of The Man Who Speaks In Hands is trying to tell our modern day scientists.
Once achieved we can create an theoretical equation or formula, in which we can test and improve upon in the following days to come.
W. Out.
(He then clicks the stop button and the video feed ends; 2 theories down, Hell knows how many experiments to go.)
H: Wow, that's quite the theory you got there Wingding. Do you really think that we can find out the meaning behind the Old Myth and The Prophecy?
W.D.G: Anything is possible with the power of Determination! [Playfully winks]
H: [Giggles] You're definitely an odd one Wingding, odd but nice. [Smiles]
W.D.G: [Smiles] Heh heh. Alright; we have some theories and its 1 in the afternoon, do you want to go out for a walk while we have nothing else to do?
H: I'd like that.
...In the Castle Gardens...
H: Wow! It's so beautiful out here, I feel so out of place...
W.D.G: Nonsense. Every Monster is welcome here, just as long as you don't harm the King's flowers.
(Gaster sits down on a near by bench.)
H: Wingding?
W.D.G: Hmmm?
H: [Sits down next to him] How are we going to figure out the context of the two ancient myths and/or legends? There's just so much information to work with and yet so many different ideas or tweaks.
W.D.G: That's true but I know that we'll figure something out, after all there's more than one way to solve a puzzle.
H: [Sighs] It's nice to know at least one of us newbies had confidence.
W.D.G: Are you kidding me? Hehehe... I'm terrified! I'm scared to let the King down and I'm scared that we might fail this important task. I'm just trying to be brave so you don't have to be.
H: Wingding... You don't have to do that for me, I like you but I need my chance to prove myself not just to you, not just to the King but to myself as well. Please Wingding, let me be apart of this big world. I need this!
W.D.G: ... [Sighs then smiles] Alright Herman, welcome to big world of science.
H: [Grins] Thank you! [Hugs Gaster] You won't regret this!
W.D.G: [Flushes and hugs back] You're welcome. [Smiles]
