Right to Insight showed me the cube was stable. It had limits, rules, and a controlled appetite. Most importantly, the clock on its surface could be adjusted.
If I slowed the clock, the door would lock a target in slowed time, almost like putting them in a deep sleep they couldn't escape.
If I sped the clock up, time inside the door would rush forward, and anything caught inside could age into dust in a moment.
Both were dangerous. Slowing time too much could trap something in an endless loop. Speeding it too far could erase a being completely.
Once the cube locked onto something with the door open… it didn't forget easily.
The power was incredible but it demanded caution.
Satisfied with the tests, I decided it was time to bind the cube to Executor's Authority.
If the construct was going to be part of my strength, the domain tablet needed to recognize it, command it, and adjust its clock when needed.
