*Soon after teleporting Qwaring back to his hidden lair I recorded some odd behavior from him. It was during the planning of the construction of a new Boomtube generator for Planet M that this suspicious behavior surfaced. He was in the middle of devising a non evasive means of tapping the planet's own energy stores in order to power the generators space-time targetting systems when he began to dwell on recent issues that have arrisen since his recent "disassembling". Elysia is under attack by the Negation, which leaves the fate of the First undecided, but Qwaring considers this to be an opportunity to aquire more power as soon as the conflict is concluded. Baron Banter, Qwaring's twin brother, had his role as monarch of Planet M usurped by the planet itself, which Qwaring veiws as a loss in his families power base. Then Quaxo, Baron Banter's daughter and Qwaring's neice, and Law, Qwaring's mother, were abducted during, what appears to be, two seperate incedents. And lastly it appears as if someone had altered the timeline and erased a First named Jas from existence. I know from firsthand experience that alterations to the timeline can have disasterous results to the entire universe. All of these problems appeared to weigh heavily on Qwaring's mind.
The following is the telepathic dialogue between Qwaring and myself shortly before and during his odd outbust: *

Qwaring: Purhaps if we used a geothermal power conductor on the generator. That could prove to be less noticable by Planet M's consciousness. No! That would be too slow. Dammit!

Is there something wrong?

No, nothing. Yes. I mean. Everything that's been happening-
I'm having my doubts about the Elysain war. Maybe if I helped-

You could mobilize a fleet of automated warships to aid the First. And your ability to look into the Negation universe could-

No! If I wait I can assume control over Elysia from the victor of this war. The winner, whether it's Negation or First will be weakened from the conflict and easy to defeat. I can easily- Fall into the old trappings of megalomania. I wasn't happy conquering the dozens of alternate Earths during my interdimensional wandering days, so what makes me think I'll be happy ruling another planet.

What was that? Your thoughts sounded different.

But what's the point worrying about Elysia when the timeline is being manipulated by others. All of my work can easily be erased. Those fools! I should build my own time machine and erase the whole lot of them! Proactive vengence. Or-
No! No. Time travel isn't going to work. Maybe I should try to help Shae'la find who's responcible. And kill them all!!!

Qwaring?

*Qwaring rose up from his workstation and staggered through the laboritory. He seemed somewhat disorientated. He stopped before a large bank of quantum accelerators and turned to face me.*

Widgit? Status of your duplicates? Please give me good news.

....

I'm sorry. I have been unable to locate Law or Quaxo. No good news. Yet.

I need to find my mother. And make her abductor pay for his crimes against me... and my family. Maybe I should be out there searching for her myself. The Planet M Boomtube generator can wait. Planet M can blow up for all I care! No! The Firsts will need Boomtubes- You'll control the generator. Stop! But you have to find your mother. She'll need help. I can't-! Vengence must be fullfilled. Stop this!

Qwaring? You don't look well.

*Qwaring had begun to clutch the sides of his head and lean against some machinery for support. His eyes were clamped shut. He looked to be in pain, but I detected no physical injuries.*

You can use the Boomtubes to- You swore not to! -to deliver- It is a scheme worthy of your maker. I won't! -deliver the global- This is insane! -the global antimatter bombs- no. -bombs- yesss - bombs you have hidden and destroy worlds by the thousands!
Get out of my head!!!

*It was at this point that Qwaring released a surge of universal energy that he directed outword in a destruction shockwave. Most of the laboritory was left in ruins. Qwaring then collapsed to the floor. I was momentarily stunned by the psychic backlash released during Qwaring's outburst. He laid on the floor for several minutes and concentrated on restoring order to his chaotic mind. I busied myself with a complete scan of the psionic plane. The source of those mental voices was definately Qwaring. It took him nearly an hour to stabalize himself and return to his work. He kept his mind preoccupied on his work, which seemed to ward off any further odd behavior.
It wasn't until recently that I came up with a possible explanaition of Qwaring's sudden breakdown. His mind and body are made up of several very different components. He is the soul of the dead Secundae, Xalidus. His body is an energy construct that was created by the power ring that is imbedded within his cerebral cortex. He's charged with a vast amount of what can be described as "First energy". His mind also has certain peices of the mental programming that his energy body was built with. All of these parts are vastly different than the others. Could it be that Qwaring's mental components are incompatible. Could he be-

-insane?

...

I will continue to observe Qwaring's behavior and assist him to the best of my ability. But if his recent instability is the symptom of a far greater problem I do not know what I will be able to do.*

[Millennium]

(( Whoa. Nice entry.))

[Quaxo9]

((Allow me to echo - Whoa. Nice entry indeed - now I have two insane uncles. ))

[Qwaring's clone#1]

I'm not insane. My deal is written right under my name.

[Quaxo9]

((I guess I just need to learn how to dig it. *"Saturday in the Park" starts playing in head*))

[Meteoro]

((Wow, Q! That was such a nice entry. Finally Qwaring is breaking apart? I'm really looking forward to these developments. Looks like this multiple disorder personality will cause him a lot of trouble.))

[Lawbringer QLNZ]

((Wow, Q! That was such a nice entry. Finally Qwaring is breaking apart? I'm really looking forward to these developments. Looks like this multiple disorder personality will cause him a lot of trouble.))

((What do you mean by "finally"? You were expecting this? I wasn't. I only came up with this a few minutes before I wrote it. I only made him insane because I got bored and I didn't like the direction I had going for the character.))

[Meteoro]

((Well, I said "finally" as in "he had been always so cool about everything, that one day or another, he just had to show a crack somewhere" ))

I purchased this in hopes of using it to deal with my pain but no type of therapy can make this go away. Nothing can change what has happened and no one can help me sleep without reliving my horror again and again. They were only on the planet for about an hour but that hour is turning into millennium for me and every moment lasts a lifetime. And it seems fate is not done with me. He took everything, my home my mother, and my innocence and now I learn I will not only have to bear these scars for the rest of my life but that I will also bear his child. I despise this thing growing inside me and it is becoming the embodiment of all that has happened, of all the ills done upon me. Yet I cannot cast it out. My father is a mystery to me. He either never claimed me or never knew. I cannot do as he did and abandon this child, no matter the fact that I will never see its face without seeing his. I slew the men that were with him and they're blood will forever stain my hands. No matter the curcumstances I can't do that to a child and so I will bear the son or daughter of Emperor Charon. I bear the child of a murder most importantly by mothers murderer. I cannot belive I'm about to do this.
