I'm not really sure what to say anymore. I'm not even sure who's going to be reading these… Pierce? He wouldn't waste his time.
So I'll just come out with it. I'm involved with Khan. At first I was ashamed and disappointed in myself—having sexual relations with a patient. But then, as it continued, I began to consider it further… to truly think about it.
The employees at Rowen are like drones—they wander around on a daily basis with one unifying mission; control and subvert their genetic creations. Pierce isn't above it, either. They act like they respect and adore The 73, but they're really just condescending to them—attempting to control and contain them. They smile to their faces, but their end goal is still the same—prove their dominance as a company and as the champion nation of the Eugenics Wars.
Khan, on the other hand, seems oddly at-ease. He is as calm and collected as ever, running regular routines with The 72. I have this sinking feeling that something is coming… that things simply cannot progress in stasis like this. Khan and the others seem to be aware of their superiority, and crave independence, even if on a subconscious level. It is as if they are waiting for something that just won't come… not to mention the plans and weapons that Khan has revealed to me. He did so in confidence, so I am bound to keep them in secrecy, but I am afraid. I am afraid of what will happen when these plans come to fruition. Will Khan and the others simply hand them over like good lap dogs? I highly doubt it.
The employees of Rowen seem to be progressing in the opposite direction. They run their laboratory tests more regularly, like they are trying to prove their control and subjugation of The 73.
And with my feelings for Khan complicating the whole thing, I am lost on what to do.
