I have grown to love this place so much. This laboratory of scientists is more of an average house full of friends and family. My fellow people that I work with do not call me by my last name, but they call me Dr. Gerald. I do not feel insulted by any means, but homely. I feel like my fellow scientists are more like brothers and sisters. Speaking of relatives, my wife, Tannis, is bringing up on board my grand daughter, Maria, and one of my nephews, Ivo. Maria is a six year old girl with one of the most beautiful eyes and hair I have seen in the entire world. I have heard that she will bring her blue dress on board. I love that dress. About my nephew, Ivo, I would have to say that he is a problem child. He is always disloyal to his parents' orders, he destroys home property with whatever he can find, I even found out that he shoplifted in a convenience store. In school, he can conjure up some riotous fifth graders out of preparatory schoolkids. I wonder if he can be a future Hitler or something of that calibre. I have heard that my species of the second Shadow was a hedgehog. The great thing about it was that I was told the color of the hedgehog was an almost pure black, with a white crest on the chest. It will undergo accelerated aging and maturation until it becomes a great hedgehog that can blend in with my family so well. With his black fur, he does look like a shadow, so I will name him, "Shadow the Hedgehog."
