About

One Giant Leap

Eden McCain discovers the journal inside a drive bay of Chandra's laptop when his son Mohinder angrily throws it across the room. Inside, the book contains a number of pages detailing suspected evolved humans Chandra had investigated, some with blood or other DNA samples attached. Also inside was an address for Sylar in Queens, and a key taped to a page.

Seven Minutes to Midnight

Mohinder takes the journal with him when he returns to India for his father's funeral. While leafing through it, he sees the key again. Later, a strange dream leads him to try the key in his father's desk drawer in his office at Chennai University, leading him to discover Sanjog's file.

Trivia

• On February 16, 1971, Chandra wrote an entry about an 87-year-old woman from Lobatse, Botswana. She was unaware that he acquired a fingernail from her while she slept. Chandra believed she may have been telepathic.
• On October 17, 1978, Chandra wrote an entry about a woman from New Canaan, Connecticut, of Polish/Russian descent. Attached is a strand of red hair that she willingly gave to Chandra. He believed her power was clairvoyance.
• On March 19, 1991, Chandra wrote an entry about a 22-year-old woman from Palu, Indonesia. Attached to the entry is a toenail clipping that Chandra acquired from the woman's manicurist (whom she saw about every five days). Chandra suspected her power was "transportation". At the bottom of the entry next to a picture of a foot, he wrote a Hindu word—possibly "nirala", which translates to "unique".
• On February 12, 2005, Chandra wrote an entry about a 13-year-old Columbian girl from Marabai, Brazil. She was Brazil's greatest wrestler; Chandra noted, "It was as if she knew every move that her opponent was going to make before they made it." Attached to the entry is what appears to be a small blood-soaked piece of paper.
