* You wake up to the smell of something delicious in the air.
* Knowing the habits of certain individuals, you decide not to swing your feet out of the bed, and get up, but to look, first.
* There is a piece of pie on a plate, in the center of the room. It appears to be freshly made, and there is a paper beside it.
* You carefully step out of bed, and reach the piece of paper, and the pie. It's from Toriel.
* Hello, my child. I have finally been able to acquire the ingredients for the Crabapple Pie we discussed when you first arrived.
* I had been wanting to try it, and now that I am not sealed in the ruins, I got to make some for you. I hope you enjoy it.
* You eat the Crabpple Pie. It tastes of Apple and Cinnamon, and reminds you of the surface.
* Health maxed out.

* I'm nervous. I'm scared. And worst of all, I have no idea what to do with my new credentials as 'Royal Scientist'. I'm a genius without a focus. I need to move forward with the human eradication robot, but how do I start? Where do I go with it? I need a power source, that's currently unattainable.
* I have an idea. It's a bit weird, but it's an idea. I'm going to try and harness the souls of the humans, that those other monsters took. Really, that sounds like something out of some lame anime, or a video game. Using souls like batteries? Is it even possible that a soul can create physical energy? All I can do, really, is try.

* I implemented the plug idea to the prototype. A short-term solution. I need a bodyguard with me, in the examination room. What better than a robot programmed for restraint, and elimination?

* Dammit! What's wrong with me?
* Four times, now. I've taken a subject to the examination room four times, and I just can't bring myself to do anything to them. I've done scans, I've done psyche evaluations, but there's nothing there, that I don't already know. Yes, I know that their bodies harbor a lot of power in them. Yes, I know that they think their actions are justified. They're insane! But what's the point?
* I keep trying to find ways to convince myself, that I need to do something drastic. Maybe if I take a knife, or a bone saw, to one of these traitors, I can get something interesting on the scans. I can get some new results. Come on, Alphys, they're basically no better than humans! These greedy worms took the human souls for THEMSELVES! They had no interest in freeing monsterkind! They don't deserve your mercy.

* I did it. I did it.
* I couldn't steady my hands. I couldn't bring myself to move. I couldn't bring myself to gut that swine like the traitor he was. Until he spit on me. That was when I lost it. That was when I couldn't stop myself if I wanted to. I took a scalpel, and I tore a hole so big in that piece of trash, that I couldn't believe it.
* It was… exhilarating. It was scary. But it felt so good. To listen to that disgusting traitor scream in agony, as I gave him a new oriface, half the size of his entire body. The sheer adrenaline rushing through my veins, as I watched his body open up to me.
* But… that's enough about that. My personal feelings have nothing to do with the science, and this is a journal, not a diary. About the incision. Normally, a monster that receives such a vicious wound would begin turning to dust, as they bled out rapidly. Their blood would turn into dust, like ash, first, and then their body would follow. But this creature didn't.
* When blood was far enough removed from his body, it would turn to dust, as the blood itself expired. But anything left touching his body… didn't. It continued to ooze indefinitely. And then, the unexpected. The wound started to pull itself back together, and mend itself. Is… is this what makes humans so powerful? This ability to regenerate their bodies like that?
* I made more incisions. I made a ton. I cut him more times than I could count, and every time, the wounds just closed up. This must be that power called 'DETERMINATION'. And the scans of his vital activity, throughout the… experiment… serve as proof. The places of their bodies, that I wounded, were enveloped with some energy, an energy that did not look like Magic.
* So… the big question is… can I use Determination as a power source? And how am I going to get the Determination out of their bodies? I think the Soul Extractor, with some tweaking, will be able to serve this purpose.

* Sorry, I got caught up in my work. The answer is yes. The Soul Extractor could be repurposed. It was little more than changing a few of the capacitors out, and re-calibrating the resonator to a different frequency, that harmonized with Determination, rather than Souls.
* What did not work, was using Determination to power even a simple motor. Which means I'm back to the drawing board on two fronts. One, what in the world do I do with Determination? And Two, how am I going to power my robot?
* Let's see how a monster body handles pure, extracted determination.
* There came a knock on your bedroom door. It was probably just Toriel, or Asgore coming to check on you.
* You get up, and walk over towards the door. But before you get to it, the door bursts open. A catlike monster that you've never seen the likes of, bursts in.
* You want to scream, but the monster is already making to attack you, and all you can do is gasp in surprise.
* You use the Burnt Frying Pan as a defense tool, a shield from the cat monster's claws, as it swipes for your throat.
* You attempt to scramble out of the room, to get Asgore, or Toriel, and the cat monster sweeps your legs out from under you.
* You fall on your back, the monster looming over you. It lunges down, to strike at your chest, when…
* The sharpened end of a bone explodes through the cat's chest, splattering you with dust.
* The cat falls into a pile of dust, over your lap, just as Asgore and Toriel come running into the room. They'd heard the commotion from the other room.
* The skeleton that threw the bone through the cat, however, is nowhere to be seen.
* The Dreemurrs agree, it's time to make an armored shelter for you, to prevent assassination attempts like that again.
