|Day 1:<br>It's been five years since I<br>announced my new method<br>for bacterial research in<br>"Microbe Today."

|Entry 1:<br>It has been five years since I<br>first announced my new method<br>for bacterial research.

|-

|My students and I have<br>been working day and night<br>to catalog our newest data.

|The students and I have worked<br>tirelessly day and night to find<br>new bacteria.

|-

|Then today I received a vial<br>from the mysterious Rhythm<br>League, and its contents<br>astounded me!

|Today, I discovered a group of<br>bacteria with a puzzling organised<br>movement. They swam right past<br>my microscope's field of view and<br>I knew instantly that I had found<br>something completely new.

|-

|The microbes in the vial<br>moved in sync with each<br>other. And not just one or<br>two, but countless microbes<br>all moving in time!

|The bacteria moved with great<br>coordination. There were not<br>just one or two, but countless<br>bacteria all moving in time.<br>I am sure they represent an<br>important discovery so we must<br>study them further.

|-

|I am sure they represent an<br>important discovery.<br>We must keep studying<br>them.

|Entry 2:<br>The bacteria appear to have lost<br>their initial vigour. They are<br>moving sluggishly and bumping<br>into each other which appears<br>to make them unhappy.

|-

|Day X:<br>The microbes appear to have<br>lost their initial vigor. They<br>move sluggishly, unhappily<br>bumping into each other.

|If they continue like this,<br>I will have to abandon my<br>research.<br><br>What on earth could be wrong<br>with them?

|-

|If they continue like this,<br>I will have to abandon my<br>research. What could be<br>wrong with them?

|Entry 3:<br>The bacteria still appear to lack<br>their initial vitality. The team<br>and I are exhausted from failing<br>to improve their condition.

|-

|Day Y:<br>The microbes still seem sad<br>and listless. The team and I<br>are exhausted, and nothing<br>we have tried has improved<br>their condition.

|We must do something!<br><br>Perhaps some music would<br>help liven our mood. I'm sure<br>one of the students left a CD<br>somewhere...

|-

|We must do something--if<br>not for them, then for our<br>own morale. Some music<br>might lift our spirits...

|As soon as I put the CD on,<br>the bacteria lost their drab<br>appearance. They began to<br>move in time and glowed<br>colourfully again!

|-

|Day Z:<br>Astonishing! As soon as I<br>put the music on, the<br>microbes brightened, moving<br>in time and colorful again!

|I'm not sure how, but they<br>feed on the music (I may call<br>the process "Rhythmesis").<br>However, the music's effect is<br>undeniable.

|-

|I'm not sure how, but the<br>microbes feed on the music<br>in a process I shall call<br>"rhythmesis." The music's<br>effect is undeniable.

|The bacteria have begun moving<br>in a nimble jerking motion.

|-

|The microbes have resumed<br>their tiny, dancing march.<br>Where could they be headed?<br>We still have so much to<br>learn about them...

|I wonder where they could be<br>headed? I must study them<br>further to understand more about<br>this truly mysterious organism.

|-

|We have already gained from<br>our research, though. I find<br>myself walking with a spring<br>in my step now!

|We still have a lot to learn from<br>them. We should all learn to<br>live with a spring in our step<br>too!
