CD: Jail's motivations are really summed up by the name of the project that made him: Unlimited Desire. He wants ALL THE THINGS. The brains that had him made were trying to channel that into wanting all the knowledge, but he ended up wanting all the worlds too, and had all the knowledge he needed to make an attempt.
What else do you do with a giant Lost Logia battleship, anyway?
Jorlem, CD: Exactly. Prophecy has and continues to happen in the 'verse. Incidentally, the biggest canonical example produces prophecies in Ancient Belkan. Rare Skills like that are often nearly-lost Ancient Belkan bloodlines/techniques. JS has oodles of knowledge about Ancient Belka. There's a bankable chance he knew of that ability.

Entry 19 (Day Unknown)
It seems that my plan is working. I've made contact with Doctor Scaglietti, and he seems to be rather pleased with my offer. With any luck, we'll both get precisely what we want out of this arrangement.
Contact came at least a week after the night I posted on the Link. It was a bit hairy at first, what with having to convince a (justifiably) rather paranoid group of people that I wasn't going to rat them out, but once that happened...
I never thought I'd say this, but being put under the microscope worked out for me. Never try to lie to a magical doctor, kids- it won't work.
Negotiations went rather smoothly after that. My initial offer was, shockingly enough, conditionally accepted. We had to haggle over some of the particulars, of course, and everything I'm contracted to do depends on the Doctor's ability to deliver his part of the bargain, but if that goes as planned, we have an accord.
I'm given to understand that things like this are usually a good bit harder to manage, but who cares? If both of us are getting something we want, why does it have to be hard?
At this point, I'm sort of in a holding pattern. The Doctor is doing SCIENCE! right now, going over some data he recently received, and I...
...okay, I'm just sort of sitting around. I've got Link access, so I'm able to do some studying, but I have no real goal at the moment. I sleep when I'm tired, eat when I'm hungry, and spend the rest of the time reading the equivalent of Spellcasting for Dummies. Occasionally, Scaglietti calls me into his lab for a set of scans, which mostly involves laying still on a table for long periods of time.
I would write more, but there's nothing else to write yet.
