It was a bright Saturday morning, and for once, N. Gin did not feel like doing much. After getting permission from Doctor Cortex, he sat in his room to think for a bit.

That was when the idea hit him.

He would keep a journal.

He wasn't sure what it was, but something compelled him to begin writing entries, mainly pertaining to his daughter, Tech. He grabbed a nearby pen and opened the first page, and it took him a good five minutes to figure out what to write.

Entry 1

The past several years have been the best of my life. I will admit that I was reluctant to adopt at first, but I am proud of my decision. Sure, the others weren't too fond of the child upon first meeting her, but they eventually came around.

Techcenah - Tech, as most of us prefer to call her - has a bright mind. From what I can tell, she always has. Shortly after I first adopted her all those years ago, when she was six years of age, her presence sparked some jealousy around the castle, particularly from Natalie.

Natalie, you see, is quite the intelligent one, so it came as no surprise that she would feel jealous. She acted on that jealousy, however, and her actions were unforgivable. I won't get into any details, but she nearly ended Tech's life and even her own.

I'd rather not think about that any longer, so I will move on to something else. As much as I loathe to admit it, I originally adopted Tech because I wanted my own apprentice. I wanted her to assist me with my experiments, and she could even aid us in world domination. The longer the girl was around me, however, the more I began to see how N. Tropy felt. Having a child is truly one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I'm not lying when I say that, either. Sure, Tech does have an evil side, but that isn't what I adore her for. We may be evil, but even villains deserve happiness. That is what I believe, anyway.

Before I took on the role of a parent, I was crazy as could be. Ask anyone. I would never let my master down, and I still won't. The thing is, I don't want to see my daughter be put into harm's way again. She isn't my biological daughter, but the connection is still there. If I lost her completely, I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

The others often tell me that I shouldn't worry so much, but I can't shake the feeling that something may happen to Tech again. Hmm, maybe I am just being paranoid.

As long as I draw breath, I will not let anything disastrous befall my daughter again.
