Home Sweet Home

Peter, here. Don't take the title of this post literally. Ben's still working on the time machine, and even after it's built, I fear our mission has just begun. The reason I say 'home sweet home' is because I've been researching - something I love - for the past week. It was beautiful, after I got past the filters. It was as if the entire world opened up to me. I had access to everything; newspapers, ordinary bloggers, resistance reports, statistics. All of which with one thing in common; they were willing to sneak by Gregory's filters to tell the truth. The first thing I looked up was the thing that had made Gregory so upset in the first place: his decision to share the cookie.

It turns out that, as soon as he had control of the world, he set up a sealed, heavily-guarded fort to keep people away from the cookie. After about a decade, however, the stress of ruling eight billion people. So he decided to give the cookie to a select few of his most trusted advisors (eight, to be precise). As soon as he did so, he realized his mistake. After they were given this power, they turned against him and changed him into a puppet leader, who had absolutely no control. There wasn't any sort of power struggle. He knew he'd made a mistake and that eight invincible people could beat one.

I've been looking into everything. We have to find some sort of weakness. Something we can use to defeat him or to convert him. If we can't do either, then we're doomed.
