The housing hurts a whole lot when I cough, but the surgeon assured me that would pass as it healed. It better, because I want to scratch my ribs out right now. BUT I'M NOT DYING! The main chipset is online, containment is holding steady, and the power|active=true}} | |||

So I guess I should say I'm not dying for now. | |||
But we knew this going in! A year is a lot of time to find a workable power source, and its a whole year I'M ALIVE FOR! I've got a few}} | |||
{{BookPage|ideas for power, and a whole two weeks of prescribed bedrest to think about them. | |||
Day 18 | |||
4 days off bedrest and I can finally get back to my lab to start testing things! I don't think a redstone battery will work, even with copper casings,}} | |||
{{BookPage|but it's better to try the simple things first. | |||
Day 19 | |||
Redstone battery would last a day. Maybe. I've read articles about new quartz inlays that have been shown to greatly increase power output, so I can try those when the}} | |||
{{BookPage|factories catch up to demand in...... 5 weeks. | |||
Plenty of time to design the next smallest redstone battery! | |||
Day 60 | |||
Good news! Quartz inlays greatly increase output! Bad news! They greatly}} | |||
{{BookPage|increase output to the point of explosions! | |||
New power sources discovered from prismarine crystals? | |||
Well something needs to power the lanterns I guess. I'll try to order some.}} | |||
{{BookPage|Day 79 | |||
Much greater power output than the redstone batteries! It'd buy me a month or so. That's a good emergency source, but I'd like a better power source for my continued existence. Back to the drawing board.}} | |||
{{BookPage|Day 130 | |||
Combinations of prismarine power, quartz inlays, copper casings, redstone wiring, etc. have gotten me 6 weeks at the most.}} | |||
{{BookPage|Day 163 | |||
I don't particularly trust ender pearl power, but an expermental power source is better than death. So I'll have to try it.}} | |||
{{BookPage|Day 189 | |||
Nothing. Maximum power output is still 6 weeks at the most. | |||
Day 217 | |||
Combinations of different power sources have given me 7 weeks. Curse this machine for needing so much power.}} | |||
{{BookPage|Day 239 | |||
Rifts. That's a thought. | |||
They must expend a lot of power both keeping their shape and transporting things that pass through. | |||
Could I extract that power?}} | |||
{{BookPage|Day 270 | |||
Yes. I can. It's very unstable for the Rift. | |||
But if my calculations are correct I could get up to a year in one siphoning process. I'll attempt to stabilize the siphon, make it as unintrusive as possible.}} | |||
{{BookPage|Day 304 | |||
I've stabilized it a bit. But the margin of error is too wide, and the chance of ripping open the Rift is too high. Not to mention the chances of imploding both myself and the Rift.}} | |||
{{BookPage|Day 315 | |||
40 days to live. No progress on stabilization. | |||
If I extract power from the Rift, I will likely kill at least the 30 people in the lab below it. If not the whole town. I cannot abide by that.}} | |||
{{BookPage|Day 320 | |||
I cannot abide by that. I need another power source. | |||
Day 332 | |||
I don't have a power source. Or time. Not even my previous prototypes are stable enough.}} | |||
{{BookPage|Day 344 | |||
Three weeks to live. | |||
Day 349 | |||
Calibrations on the siphoning equipment have completed. And I've figured how to go through the Rift and dodge the implosion. But I can't stop it. I need another way.}} | |||
{{BookPage|Day 352 | |||
I need another way. | |||
But I've packed my Rift sensors in a go bag. Just in case. | |||
Day 360 | |||
Five days. Pain has increased drastically. Regen potions don't work enough.}} | |||
{{BookPage|Day 362 | |||
There's no other way.}} | |||
{{BookPage|Day 364 | |||
I'm sorry. | |||
But I can't find another way.}} | |||
