none of which so dangerous as virtue

...already? I still don't look feel any older. And I still don't think it counts.

At least Michael seems to have kept his mouth shut this year. Small mercies.





What am I doing? I don't have time for this. Security checks are meant to start at 0600.

It's hard to believe that it's almost December once again. So much has happened, and yet at the same time, it seems to have passed so quickly. In fact, exactly a month remains until... Well.

It seems like I'm going soft. I should have told Mileina not to decorate the place, that it was a violation of the protocols that restrict obstructions, but... I didn't have the heart. Morale is slipping once again, and it's possible that "brightening the place up" will help. At least, that's what she said. But that's not the only reason.

I also don't have the heart to tell her that her taste in decorations are a little peculiar. While I acknowledge that Christmas decorations are generally brightly colored and lit up, I don't think any of the Haros appreciate being used as baubles. And as for the top of the tree in the mess hall... The less said about that the better.

Feldt seems to be avoiding me. Does anybody know why?

...well, that was certainly embarassing.

It's good to be going back. I really do prefer space. It's so much cleaner, and Earth's gravity can be so tiring.

Speaking of Earth...well, I suppose that's only a tenuous connection, as this will have an effect space too, but: there has been a huge development on my world, for anyone who is following our politics. The Union, the HRL and the AEU have decided to join their military forces into a single army. The UN Forces will be the largest military the world has ever seen, and together, they will fight to take down Celestial Being.

I must say, this move is a surprising one. I wonder what prompted it.

In other news, I am pleasantly surprised with the number of volunteers I have found to help me with my plans to fix the community's security systems once and for all. However, I still need to talk to one "Foaly" and one "Yuki Nagato". They have been recommended to me, and I shall speak with them.

There's something wrong. Very, very wrong. With our system, with the world, everything. I must confess, I am extremely worried.

...no, I am more than worried.

I'm scared.

I cannot believe what Michael Trinity has done. Next time I see him, I'll kill him.

Exercising my powers of logic and argument while concentrating on other, more constructive tasks leads to some...strange results, I find. The statements I make are undeniably correct, and the questions I ask are apt to the situation, but on further analysis, there is something disconcerting about the things I appear to have said. They carry a certain weight, and are thick with implications for myself and my current situation.

Making the temporal adjustments to the program is proving difficult. As there is no precedent on my world for the act of time travel, I am having to search further afield for information, looking through the databases of other worlds, other times. However, the little I do find has no real application in the program. I suspect I will have to fill the gaps with theoretical presumptions, and make adjustments as I continue. It is far from efficient, but would seem to be the only avenue of progress open at this point in time.
