Reflections of WOTO: Jeff's Story
(On to the third of the series. In the explanations about Giygas, they are robots, but I don't put that into detail much, so no I didn't change that part.)
June 21, 1995 - "I'm Home."
I finally returned! I should feel so grateful to be alive after that experience. Giygas. He was even more terrifying than I realized. At first, I thought all he was had been that machine we saw when we fought Pokey. That tub of lard fought with us for a short time, then decided to freak us out by telling us about the "Devil's Machine", and saying the true terror of Giygas was behind it. When he flipped it, I almost wet myself at the sight. It would've seemed only like a red mist to most people watching, but only, I, Ness, Paula and Poo would've felt the scale of evil energy coming from it. We tried to fight him with our weapons, but we seemed to be getting nowhere. My scientific knowledge had been useless, and I thought I could heard Giygas whispering "failures" in my mind, an assumably theirs as well. It was only when Pokey came back to taunt us again, that thing began to turn around. Appearantly Paula took Pokey's words into consideration, and started praying, like she always did in such a situation, but now seemed to be the most useful time for it. I swore I saw Giygas break into many parts in front of my eyes. He then began taking damage, and according to Ness and Poo, it was increasingly higher damage, until... Giygas just couldn't take it anymore, and broke down in an explosion of static and ruptures, which destroyed our robot bodies, but allowing our unharmed souls to return to our bodies...
Since then, Ness, Paula and Poo departed on their own paths, and I decided to stay in Saturn Valley with my dad and Apple Kid. It seemed we had much to talk about, not only since we were really smart, but involved in the same tasks. My dad asked me about some of the stuff I found along the way. The most peculiar thing I remembered were those capsules we'd find every so often. We found them in places like Belch's Base, the Gold Mine, The Great Pyramid. As I took out a spare capsule I never used, I decided, my next project would be to figure out why these capsules worked the way they are...
September 19, 1995 - "The Speed Capsule"
Some time has passed since I started experimentation on the capsules. I asked Poo to do a me a small favor and bring me one of a Luck, Guts, I.Q. and a Vital Capsule. The capsule I had was a "Speed" capsule. Anyways, at first, I examined to capsule and found some strange form of coating on it. It seemed to pulsate. I then broke the capsule open and examined the contents. It seemed to be a type of liquid, gooey substance. I put some tests on this capsule, and I found it was madce from a material I never heard of. I don't know the name, unfortunately. It took me a great deal of weeks to figure it out, but I finally learned the substance was called "Danarku". I don't understand the word's meaning yet, but prehaps these were alien-made capsules, meant for something else.
December 12, 1995 - "The Guts Capsule"
I asked my dad to give me some help on this. My dad, quite the nice and curious man, wanted to learn some about these capsules as well. My next capsule was the Guts Capsule. I learned the outer coating of the capsule was similar, but the inner goo wasn't made of Danarku. My dad found the structure wasn't the same. It took time, but during which I got to see Ness a few times. He said thing had been great for him, and that he and Paula seemed to be growing closer. I told him about my experiments, but he was confused. Typical, yet understandable for him. He never was that interested in scientifics. After that, my father made a discovery on the capsule. It was in fact Danarku in it, but it was imbued with a different "power signature". At first, I was confused on how that kind of energy could fit into such a small object. Maybe examination of another capsule will speed it along.
April 7, 1996 - "The I.Q. Capsule"
We decided to work on the I.Q. Capsule next. This capsule had been the most beneficial for me, as with each on you took, you got smarter. I examined it, just to make sure it too had that outer coating. It did. I also, with my dad's help found the goo was also Danarku, but it also had a different energy signature. Not much new there, but nothertheless interesting. My father decided to work on a spare device, that he dubs a inanimate replication device, or simply put, a device that clones animate things, except it's not cloning, since the thing's not alive.
July 13, 1996 - "The Luck Capsule"
My dad's device is still in the works, and it can only replicate small objects, but we've used that advantage to replicate some capsules, as backups, or for emergency purposes. I saw almost no real uprisings in the Luck Capsule, and truthfully, I felt this was one of the hardest scientific experiments I have had to crack. Again, the Danarku in the capsule had a different energy signature, but that was it. I have a feeling this stuff was never meant to be revealed.
January 11, 1997 - "The Vital Capsule, and the Ultimate Discovery"
We finally understand it now. The examination on the last capsule, and the most important one: the Vital Capsule, has revealed that the capsules were in fact alien, but the greater surprise is who the capsule point to as leaving them there: Giygas' Armies. I don't understand it. Why would Giygas just leave them lying around for his enemies to find? It doesn't logically make sense, although Giygas' mind seemed toasted in the final battle, so he might have been that insane back then too. I got to see Ness, Paula and Poo duringthis period too. I know it was a long time since I last wrote, but the status on my dad's replication device is as follows: "It's good enough for now, but not complete." I didn't understand what he meant when he said that, but even I didn't always understand him at times. Maybe it'll come out in a while, but for now, I could wrap up the capsule experiments.
June 11, 1997 - "Disaster!"
I know I should be taking time to help them, but I should write down what happened. Last night, while I was away, a band of unknown raiders attacked Snow Wood up to the north. My father got a message from our caveman assistant, Bigfoot, explaining the incident. He said he heard this from the Tessie Watching Club, and that the raiders were unknown. All I know is, I need to check this out, and make sure everyone is okay. I'm off now, and hopefully I'll return soon...
(That last post was just before he joined everyone in Chapter 6, BTW. I know I asked for a suggestion on whether to do Jeff or Paula next, but I got an idea for Jeff, and I had to get it down. I'll get Paula's done soon.)
