Let's be weird

Eli here... because my grandfather is in no condition to make an entry right now, and I don't know if he'll ever get the chance to again.

So if I have to document his last days, it's a task that I accept.

-

From what ComAK-M can tell me, after his last entry he spent a few minutes looking through the laptop's hard drive and finding a shocking resemblance to the one he'd had as a child, complete with some of his favorite mp3's that, as I understand, he added to his entries. I personally don't have time for stuff like that.

He found his way to the same tunnel I had explored only hours before. When I entered I was greeted with dark shapes and machinery that took ahold of me and injected me with an antimagic serum. They took me down into a room that was completely sealed and all... purple. All I had was my communication, which he must have received eventually.

When he got there he took his time being careful about it, weaving through several alternate paths besides the main shaft I'd been taken down. Somewhere in this span he apparently overheard someone talking about a bomb that was scheduled to be sent to another planet nearby, Popworld, where it would be detonated in a classified location.

He sent ComAK to finish the job of finding me.

I can't get too mad at him for being so impersonal about it; I mean, looking at the condition he's in... but if he'd done the opposite I'd merely have to replace ComAK. Now...

Anyway, a while later the purple wall on my left opened up and I was very relieved to see my little robot entering. He even repaired communication with my grandfather so I could find out what was going on.

I ran through the passageways where pieces of scrapmetal lay strewn across the floor in ComAK's wake until we finally reached the main shaft where the light of the surface shined down. Activating the boosters in the suit, I slowly drifted back up. The security was obviously too busy to notice as I made it out to the surface. With a short code the Jet swooped down and picked me up.

Meanwhile my grandfather had been explaining the situation to me. Inside the Jet I booted up a system to let me see from his visor.

He hadn't mentioned that he had somehow made his way into the bomb's transport.

"Eli, do you have any idea how I might stop this thing?" he asked.

"I see a 'Stop' button over there," I laughed.

He laughed, too, as he pressed it. "Now why didn't I see that?"

"Because you're panicking."

"Well it also might be because, knowing our enemy, I thought it might be some sort of trick that would detonate th--"

Static.

Bang.
