"Interesting, these diagramms match with my calculations. Well, at least partly. Haha whatever, this is what I needed. If I could just find a suitable energy source for these...

Electricity won´t do, or I will get fried, again. I need an alternative Energy source. Light won´t work, can’t utilize it. Back to the drawing board, damnit."

As the lonely nights went on Robert´s unorganized thoughts gained a direction. He needed energy to power his formations, while he didn´t know what kind of energy, he had an idea where to get his answers from, or rather from whom.

"Damnit this dimwit´s IQ is at least two standart deviations below mine yet I need to ask for help from him? Well I´ll just scam this damn fool, hahaha!"

The damn fool Robert was thinking of (or rather shouting about) was his equally mad archnemisis, Flori, an engineer. He knew, that Flori was researching energy sources and utilization methods, while he wasn´t very scientific about it, he certainly had some very "interesting" ideas.

"Flori, old pal, how is it going, how is your research going along? You´re still on this occult darkness energy stuff?"

Robert wrote him this e-mail and waited for an answer as his phone rang.

"You damn asshole it´s me, why´d you write me, have you gone even more insane than you already were? What do you you want?"

"Well, i thought you could need some help with your project, I mean last time I checked, you didn´t have anything yet, just your unscientific research into magic or something, haha"

"Magic? it´s called dark energy and my researches have already brought me plenty of success!"

"Ahh, so that´s why the engineer´s society kicked you out for blowing up their lab?"

"Shut your trap Robert, haven´t you been expelled from the mathematician´s society years ago? And I was only expelled because the damn council didn´t want my innovations to become public."

"Show it to me, if you really did make something innovative, you wannabe physicist."

"Wannabe?! Damn you, I am this age´s Nikola Tesla! I don´t care if you believe me or not, this time I had a breaktrough and im not gonna get scammed by you again!!" With that he hang up.

(Damnit has this fool truly become more intelligent? Before I´d always be able to steal his stuff, even if they were useless most of the times. I bet he has found something this time, I´m going all in on this!!)

With this Robert made up his mind to just straight up rob Flori of his inventions.

Later that night Robert drove to Flori´s house and parked his car out of sight. He knew this fool always locked all his doors and that he was extremely paranoid. So he waited infront of his basement door.

(Engineer trash, im gonna show you. I know for a fact that you didn´t stop smoking and that you

can´t stand the smell of tobacco smoke in your house. It´s only a question of time before you come out to light one.)

Robert was right, Flori truly did not like the smell of cigarette smoke in his house. About an hour later unlocking noises came from the basement door and Flori came out lighting his cigarette.

(Just as planned, now comes the fun part)

BAM!

Robert struck the unsuspecting engineer´s head with a baseball bat. "K.O. you naive idiot!"

He quickly pulled his unconscious arch nemesis inside a bush and hid him.

(Now I just need to find what I need)

As he was searching trough Flori´s drawers he found something. A machine, that looked like a tablet, below he found the some drawings. "These look kind of familiar. Interesting, turns out this moron used similiar techniques as me. Haha so that´s how it is!! To extract dark energy from his environment he also used formations. Nice now I dip and hope my plan succeedes before this fool realizes, that it was I, the great Robert, who knocked him out and stole his stuff."

With the tablet and the scetches in his pocket he drove home and began working on his formations....
