Pa called again, he still wants be to come back to Atlanta and quit wrestling. His brother's death still impacting him to this day. I want uncle's legacy to live on with me though. Uncle was always there for me. We exhanged the same old dialogue, and he rescinded in the end. I wanted to talk to him about the Xhao incident, but decided against it. Whatever these contracts were, they were dangerous. I promised I would visit though, and I plan to. Certainly by next week.

On the topic of these contracts, it can be confirmed that they are the real deal. I felt strange after being imbued with control. I could identify and grasp my flesh through my will. My form morphed to my liking, but it was limited. I couldn't stay in an altered shape for long, lest my brain notices the difference from the body I inhabit to the one I changed into. I physically cannot mantain it. I'm trying to perform minute changes to my body right now, such as improving my immune system, but progress of this is slow if not nonexistent. It has become clear that the only way forwards is through more of these contracts.

I tried to get some information from Samuel, but they just said that it came from higher ups. I even had the foolish idea to hire a private investigator for a second there! Against the military?!? I doubt my investigation skills would gain me anything either, and have abandoned such notion for now.

I have also ramped up my training, not for the petty cash and fame the improved skill would collect for me, but self-defense against monstrosities in case of future contracts. The training paid off greatly, to my suprise. It seems as if my learning capabilities have been enhanced in a shape or form. More testing is required.
